I'll say it a million times, I so wish I could fly up there for a weekend!!!!!!! Well, if this new job pans out then maybe I will. ;) I should get two weeks of vacation the first year, and I'd get another two weeks right before cruise time. How's that for inviting myself! :rotfl:

I would love that. Then we could bounce on the trampoline together and harrass, Harry and Ed, Jeff and everyone else together over a few drinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh,, of course your all invited!!!!!!!!!

[PrincessMom2002]

Oh,, of course your all invited!!!!!!!!!

Party at Kristin's! We'll get our bounce on. :jumping1: OK, so if we can't do this at Kristin's then hopefully we'll have time to hang out at Quiet Cove! We are all on a back to back cruise, right? 14 nights at sea?! :hyper: Hey, I can dream can't I?!

[kritter]

I remember doing farm field trips with the boys...:worried: thats when they acutally let me go with them!

I tried to sign up for my oldest trip in May and got the "Mom are you really gonna go!" So I took my name off the list and cried for days.

DH said "Honey its really hard to look cool when your mom is licking her finger and rubbing the ketcup off your cheek." So I had to let my little boy go pretend to be a man for a day. BOY WAS IT HARD!!!!

Oh gosh I will be soo sad when the girls say that to me...!!!!!!!!!!!

Pool Party at my house. .When you all coming up???


Ed, can be here within the hour. Harry, in a few hours too??!!!!!!!!! Anyone else in???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hmansure]

:rotfl2: Well, it was more like 4:20. You know how the board clock is about 30 minutes off. I couldn't sleep. You can only toss and turn for so long!

Still - 4:20 is way too early!! Hope you have a better night's sleep!

[hmansure]

Hi Harry!~

WHat do you have planned for the weekend???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim has a swim meet on Saturday.... and since the forecast here is for the mid-90s all weekend we also will spend most of time in the pool! Nothing else planned. How 'bout you?

[hmansure]

I would love that. Then we could bounce on the trampoline together and harrass, Harry and Ed, Jeff and everyone else together over a few drinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, the trampoline!! popcorn::

[PrincessMom2002]

Still - 4:20 is way too early!! Hope you have a better night's sleep!

Thanks! I try never to be up before 5:30. Even that is too early IMO. But the paycheck beckons. :rotfl:

How did work go today? Any good prospects?

[PrincessMom2002]

Oh, the trampoline!! popcorn::

Seeing as you've gotten some bouncing practice this week Harry, I think you are well prepared for Kristin's house. ;)

[jajomo0118]

[jajomo0118]

:rotfl2: We moms are so underappreciated, finger licking and all. ;)

DS has been in his room off and on since school let out, crying because it's the last day. :worried: I feel so bad for him because he's never been so sad about school being over. I keep trying to reassure him that we'll have alot of fun this summer, but it's not working.

Thats so sad, poor guy....:hug:
We have someone in our family who has been crying too now that school is out ....Her name is NANA!!! (aka: grandmother, aka: summer time babysitter)

Oh gosh I will be soo sad when the girls say that to me...!!!!!!!!!!!

I still get plenty of love and affection in private but my public days are numbered. ...:eek:

[PrincessMom2002]

I'm all for the bouncing...lol....but its way to sticky around here!!!
Hows everyone elses neck of the woods?

I think we have the same temps as you Christa! It has been terrible. Last week weren't we in the 40's at night? And this week the A/C is getting a major workout.

[kritter]

I'm crying because I want to get a summer break too. :sad: Although I'm sure my MIL (who watches the kids) could relate to NANA! My kids will be driving her crazy in no time flat.

[jajomo0118]

Oh gosh poor Nana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know..All I can say is thank heavens for family, It has been the main reason we never left the area. I have such a wonderful support system around me that the thought of leaving would be so hard.

There may be nothing to do around here but when we do veture out..I never have to pay a babysitter...lol

That is a huge plus! My MIL has been wonderful in regards to watching the kids.

I bet...We had a local school district on strike this year and those poor kids don't get out for 3 more weeks...poor things. How sad it must be to see the kids in the next town out on bikes, playing ball and swimming and you are sitting in a hot class room.

I know the teachers hate it too, that situation always sucks for both sides.

[jajomo0118]

Ok, who's in for the pool party?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cool1: :cool1:

I'm coming too...:cool1: I'll bring the "rum"

[kritter]

[hmansure]

Thanks! I try never to be up before 5:30. Even that is too early IMO. But the paycheck beckons. :rotfl:

How did work go today? Any good prospects?

One good interview... one not so good....

Well heck, if I won the lottery..........YEAH! I guess you have to play to win though.

[PrincessMom2002]

The question is - is Kristin's house well prepared for me?!:lmao:

Harry, I don't think the ship will be prepared for you. ;) Wild man! :rotfl2:

[nikkistevej]

Good morning all. Happy Friday!

[jd99]

Hey Harry
I have a swimming question for you. My DD got pushed and fell down at recess yesterday and scraped her knees up badly. Time trials for her swim team are tomorrow morning. The pain is going away but she is worried about the chlorine stinging them. Any ideas on what I can put over it (it's a big area and a waterproof bandaid won't cover it) to help her feel comfortable and not worry about the stinging?

jeff

[jd99]

I'm coming too...:cool1: I'll bring the "rum"

We can car pool. I'll pick you up on my way! :goodvibes

[kritter]

Great sounds like I had better have the pool ready. Looks like we are going to have a housefull this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!:goodvibes

[jd99]

No your all invited how long till you can be here too???!!!!!

Let's see. It's about a 10 hour drive to NYC...so I'm guessing 11-12. Yikes. I'm flying.

My friends say I'm a wino because that's generally all I like to drink! But an occasional martini and fuzzy beach drinks are fun too! :rotfl2:

Well we are always stocked with wine for my winno mother...LOL!!! The other stuff is always a staple here. Looks like it is going to be a nice weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Grumpy4Ya]

I would love that. Then we could bounce on the trampoline together and harrass, Harry and Ed, Jeff and everyone else together over a few drinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Friday Everyone:dance3: I'll be thinking about you all partying, 3000 + miles away :sad2: Oh well, at least we get to have a Yard Sale this weekend, that's almost as fun, right???...right????... Ah man, who am I kidding :rolleyes1

Don't mind me, I'm just shoving my nose into your conversation. Hey Jeff, how about a Wal-mart bag and Duct Tape?:rotfl2: Seriously, what about Liquid Band-Aid, it's suppost to be waterproof? :confused3

[Grumpy4Ya]

Harry, I don't think the ship will be prepared for you. ;) Wild man! :rotfl2:

I don't think the World was ready for you Abby! You kinda took us all by suprise !!! :crazy:

[Grumpy4Ya]

My friends say I'm a wino because that's generally all I like to drink! But an occasional martini and fuzzy beach drinks are fun too! :rotfl2:

Oh oh, Kristen, better make sure you stock up on the Mad-Dog before Jeff gets there!:drinking1

[kritter]

Don't mind me, I'm just shoving my nose into your conversation. Hey Jeff, how about a Wal-mart bag and Duct Tape?:rotfl2: Seriously, what about Liquid Band-Aid, it's suppost to be waterproof? :confused3

I can tell you the liguid bandages work well. It is clear to go on. Try the liquid stuff it works great. When I had my collapased lung and they told me I could not swim all summer since it could not get wet. I would put that on and the hole stayed dry the Dr. could not believe it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jd99]

Don't mind me, I'm just shoving my nose into your conversation. Hey Jeff, how about a Wal-mart bag and Duct Tape?:rotfl2: Seriously, what about Liquid Band-Aid, it's suppost to be waterproof? :confused3

Actually the liquid bandaid is a good idea. Personally I don't think that the chlorine will really sting it but maybe I'm misremembering from the last time I was scraped up

[hmansure]

jeff

Hi Jeff - Did you "take care" of the kid who pushed her down?! ;)

I would hope by tomorrow she should have some decent scab formation that will mostly protect her from any stinging. As long as they're not open and bleeding she should be okay. You and I both know that these pools have astronomical amounts of chemicals in them so I know what you mean about the stinging! If there is any stinging it should only last a few seconds and she'll be kicking away anyway so perhaps she won't even notice.

[hmansure]

Harry, I don't think the ship will be prepared for you. ;) Wild man! :rotfl2:

Me?! I think it may be you they should be most concerned about, no?! :)

[hmansure]

Great sounds like I had better have the pool ready. Looks like we are going to have a housefull this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!:goodvibes

Think "Caddy Day" from Caddyshack!

"Gunga galunga... gunga... gunga....galunga"

[hmansure]

Let's see. It's about a 10 hour drive to NYC...so I'm guessing 11-12. Yikes. I'm flying.

Airfares are out of control :scared1:

I'll volunteer Abby to swing out of Ohio, pick you up, head east, grab Nikki down in Baltimore, then swing thru NJ/NY and we're on our way.

Abby - how many of us can you cram in your vehicle?! :rotfl:

Perfect idea. And thanks Harry for the thoughts re the pool. She has practice today but we're going to skip it and just go "family swimming" so she can dip her leg into the water and see how it feels so that she isn't freaked out in advance of time trials tomorrow.,

[PrincessMom2002]

Happy Friday Everyone:dance3: I'll be thinking about you all partying, 3000 + miles away :sad2: Oh well, at least we get to have a Yard Sale this weekend, that's almost as fun, right???...right????... Ah man, who am I kidding :rolleyes1

Oh no you don't. You will get your butt to Connecticut! Forget the yard sale. :rotfl: Yeah, I'm sure DW would appreciate that. :lmao:

[PrincessMom2002]

I don't think the World was ready for you Abby! You kinda took us all by suprise !!! :crazy:

:rotfl2: Who, me? :confused3 You've got me confused with somebody else Frank. ;)

OMG that is so funny! Just let Harry take care of the kid Jeff. He'll use his sly depantsing skills and trip the kid up.

[PrincessMom2002]

Me?! I think it may be you they should be most concerned about, no?! :)

Have you and Frank been talking? Swapping dirt on me? Now boys.......behave!

[jd99]

Four in the car and probably 3 in the trunk. :rotfl:

Shotgun.

[PrincessMom2002]

Shotgun.

Jeff called it first. Hey, who wants to drive? I'd rather be a passenger (yeah even in my own car) so I can do stupid stuff on the way. I don't want to be the responsible one making sure we arrive in one piece.

[jajomo0118]

We can car pool. I'll pick you up on my way! :goodvibes

Sounds good to me...;)
I really do have a reason to party... I got a promotion today..YEAH ME!!!

Don't mind me, I'm just shoving my nose into your conversation. Hey Jeff, how about a Wal-mart bag and Duct Tape?:rotfl2: Seriously, what about Liquid Band-Aid, it's suppost to be waterproof? :confused3

I didn't know you knew my father-in-law...LMAO

[jd99]

Sounds good to me...;)
I really do have a reason to party... I got a promotion today..YEAH ME!!!




Congratulations!!!:cool1: :yay: :worship: :woohoo:

[jd99]

Hi Jeff - Did you "take care" of the kid who pushed her down?! ;)

I.

No but believe me I want to. Geez two days before time trials for swim team. She's all freaked out. Stressing out the whole family. Grrrrr

[kritter]

Think "Caddy Day" from Caddyshack!

"Gunga galunga... gunga... gunga....galunga"

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kritter]

Oh no you don't. You will get your butt to Connecticut! Forget the yard sale. :rotfl: Yeah, I'm sure DW would appreciate that. :lmao:

Speaking of road trip, tonight DH said we may be driving to Florida next August. I don't think so! :faint:

Sorry Ed, yes, how is Caitlin's toe? Harry will take care of the kid that tripped her up. :lmao:

[PrincessMom2002]

Yup,, Road Trip Pool Party at my house you in??????



Kristin-

I checked my caller ID when I got home and saw you called! I will eventually get voicemail or something. It's been 3 weeks and I'm going nuts without it. How are you doing? And the family? Today was Gwynne's last day of K and they did a little presentation for us. Then they had a slide show to songs that couldn't get any more sentimental. :sad1:

We just got back from a baseball game tonight and it was so HOT. I feel the sunburn coming on already. Here comes summer! Oh, and my bil said he and his family are going camping in a couple of weeks so if it isn't the weekend my sister comes to stay, then I'm taking the kids camping!! I'm excited about that! (unless of course it's 95 degrees with no wind)

[kritter]

Congrats,,, Christa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kritter]

I do not even want to see the airfare then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm good and you??? I was just calling to say Hello!!!!! How how cute. I would have cried..

Oh that is good news about the camping.. That will be FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

[hmansure]

I do not even want to see the airfare then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess things could improve (trying to be an optimist), but I saw on the news tonight some fares, in certain markets, are up 150% from last year!

[nikkistevej]

Airfares are out of control :scared1:

I'll volunteer Abby to swing out of Ohio, pick you up, head east, grab Nikki down in Baltimore, then swing thru NJ/NY and we're on our way.

Abby - how many of us can you cram in your vehicle?! :rotfl:

Sounds good, since Abby will be doing all of the 24+ hours of driving, I will bring a cooler of uhhh... "cold beverages", yeah that's it, and since Abby is the desinated driver, we can be the designated drinkers. Sounds good, right guys??:cool1:

[nikkistevej]

Sounds good to me...;)
I really do have a reason to party... I got a promotion today..YEAH ME!!!



I didn't know you knew my father-in-law...LMAO

Congratulations!!

We definately are driving, autotrain home. DH's cousin works for Amtrak- and I am going to try for a discount!!:cool1:

[nikkistevej]

Good night all!!

[kritter]

I guess things could improve (trying to be an optimist), but I saw on the news tonight some fares, in certain markets, are up 150% from last year!

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kritter]

NIkki,,

Make sure when Abby comes by to get you you've got Jordan all packed and ready the girls will want to play with her tooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!;) ;) ;)

[jajomo0118]

Thanks for all the congrats everyone....:banana:
I had an internal interview on Thurs. with my boss,supervisor and HR manager, they said I would know something one way or the other in a week or two. So when I had a letter in my box today I was surprised then I was scared. Well it all turned out good so I'm very pleased..:)

[jajomo0118]

I guess things could improve (trying to be an optimist), but I saw on the news tonight some fares, in certain markets, are up 150% from last year!

I hope, I think it might be the auto train for us if things don't level off. I knew we might pay more in 09 but i'm not ready to pay just as much for airfare as at the cruise.

[PrincessMom2002]

Do I have that kind of power?!

Wait and see how high airfares will be by next August!! :scared1:

You egg me on! Where did you go? What about our Friday night frenzies? :(

[PrincessMom2002]

I guess things could improve (trying to be an optimist), but I saw on the news tonight some fares, in certain markets, are up 150% from last year!

OMG :scared1: It cost us $1300 to fly last October. But I think I'm going to book for this next cruise as soon as they come out rather than wait and risk watching the prices climb. This is all so crazy. $4 a gallon of gas!

[PrincessMom2002]

Sounds good, since Abby will be doing all of the 24+ hours of driving, I will bring a cooler of uhhh... "cold beverages", yeah that's it, and since Abby is the desinated driver, we can be the designated drinkers. Sounds good, right guys??:cool1:

I like the way you think Nikki, except the designated driver thing. ;)

[PrincessMom2002]

I hope, I think it might be the auto train for us if things don't level off. I knew we might pay more in 09 but i'm not ready to pay just as much for airfare as at the cruise.

I hope it doesn't get that bad, but we are definitely going on this cruise no matter what. So I'll just suck it up and pay what they are charging. I can't see a two day drive each way down there though. My DSis drives, but she lives in Nashville and they do it in a day. How long does the autotrain take?

[PrincessMom2002]

I'm good and you??? I was just calling to say Hello!!!!! How how cute. I would have cried..

Oh that is good news about the camping.. That will be FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!

OK<< be around all day Tomorrow and Sunday tooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jajomo0118]

I hope it doesn't get that bad, but we are definitely going on this cruise no matter what. So I'll just suck it up and pay what they are charging. I can't see a two day drive each way down there though. My DSis drives, but she lives in Nashville and they do it in a day. How long does the autotrain take?

17 hours, but a reg amtrak train is 21+ because it stops so many times. The auto train only stops once for staff changes, I think in SC. I like the auto train better than driving because of the lounges and dinning cars, the kids can get up and move around. I really would rather fly but the auto train is a good back up for us.

We all fall asleep sitting up at night watching TV, I thought we'd be fine....LMAO

It was like an extra 1000 bucks for a "sleeper".

[PrincessMom2002]

Harry-

I have to give myself a big fat DOH (is there a smilie smacking itself on the forehead?) about shoes and the running segments on the Wii Fit! I just got done with it and the running is so much easier with shoes on. Who'd have thunk it? :rotfl2: Yeah, I AM blonde!

OMG Kristin, 10 minutes?! :eek: I did the advanced step for the first time and I'm better at that than the beginner step. What's your favorite thing to do? I like the running and slalom, but there are alot of games I haven't done yet.

[jajomo0118]

we have a WII also... I take it you all like the new WII Fit.

[caitlinsdad]

Hi Ed! I was wondering where you've been. Now why is my name first on your list? I am an angel people!! :angel: Haven't I already told you that?! Harry makes me say bad things. :rotfl2:

Speaking of road trip, tonight DH said we may be driving to Florida next August. I don't think so! :faint:Oh Just think of the fun.

Licence plate bingo, car sing a longs.

Confusing road side signs. Going down the road we saw a sign that read Lee's quaity tires. But we thought it say LESS Quality Tires. We laughed for miles.

[caitlinsdad]

Hi Ed! I was wondering where you've been. Now why is my name first on your list? I am an angel people!! :angel: :faint:


Your're first on the list, cause its Ladies first

[caitlinsdad]

Sorry Ed, yes, how is Caitlin's toe? Harry will take care of the kid that tripped her up. :lmao:

Caitlin is doing ok, I need to retape the toe even couple of days, but she is doing ok

[caitlinsdad]

Sounds good, since Abby will be doing all of the 24+ hours of driving, I will bring a cooler of uhhh... "cold beverages", yeah that's it, and since Abby is the desinated driver, we can be the designated drinkers. Sounds good, right guys??:cool1::rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

[caitlinsdad]

We definately are driving, autotrain home. DH's cousin works for Amtrak- and I am going to try for a discount!!:cool1:

Hey if you can , go for it :thumbsup2

[caitlinsdad]

I hope, I think it might be the auto train for us if things don't level off. I knew we might pay more in 09 but i'm not ready to pay just as much for airfare as at the cruise.


We have used the autotrain in one direction the last three trips down,
Not sure if we will next year or not yet. but its Autotrain or drive the whole way.

[caitlinsdad]

CHECK THIS OUT ABOUT THE AUTO-TRAIN::::::

http://www.usatoday.com/travel/news/2008-04-22-auto-train-promotion_N.htm


They have done this the last couple of summers.

It cost the three of us Car included about 820.00 last year. for 1 way.

But we rented two cabins adjoined. We have also used the family bedroom. It's a little cheaper if you go couch, but then you are in a section with many people and you sleep in reclining seats.

TY for the link, I went online and got a "guesstimation" using Aug 08 and it was 881 for four R/T.

Like I said before we would much rather fly down but the Auto Train is a good back up for us.

The secret to the autotrain and getting a good rate is to book early, for Aug 08 I would have book late Jan or early Feb for the best rates

Thaks Ed, for that tip, I will probably book then! If DH's cousin can get us a "hook-up" then I will probably do a family bedroom, if not it's coach for us!! How comfortable are the chairs?

Nice Kristin! Happy early anniversary! So now we'll be drinking, bouncing, swimming, and eating ice cream? You have the cool house!

Seems fair to me!!

Everyone keeping cool today?! Seems like yesterday that we are chatting about how cold it was outside!!

Thaks Ed, for that tip, I will probably book then! If DH's cousin can get us a "hook-up" then I will probably do a family bedroom, if not it's coach for us!! How comfortable are the chairs?

Start checking in Nov or Dec to see if they post rates early, I think the 6 month point is when they come out but I could be wrong.

I can not tell you how coach feels, as we only have done the sleeper units. They are a little tight, but for one night not too bad.

Relaxing?! No way.

Tim's swim meet had me up at 6:00AM this AM!

After some relaxing time in the pool I was "informed" I was going to movies this afternoon. Very crowded when it's 95 degrees outside!!

[caitlinsdad]

Just checked and its 91 degress with a dew point of 72 outside here.
Glad I started the AC this morning. The living room and bedrooms are comftable. but since the it is not central air the kitchen is warm.

[hmansure]

Just the bare bones..coach...lol

We all fall asleep sitting up at night watching TV, I thought we'd be fine....LMAO

It was like an extra 1000 bucks for a "sleeper".

I've done the coach experience on that train before..... perhaps it's just me - but I hated it. The cars were divided by "families" and, shall we say... "silver hairs". The family car was like the circus train! Then at night... the "seniors" just roamed around - that train door.... opening... shutting...opening... shutting... The bathrooms smelled by the next morning... ugggghhh BUT.... we arrived on time and our car was with us when we got there - I guess the major benefit of the Auto Train.

Perhaps a bunch of us may end up on the same train in August 2009?!?! Though, at this point, we're holding out hope for "reasonable" air fare!

[hmansure]

You egg me on! Where did you go? What about our Friday night frenzies? :(

I was here for awhile.... thought I was all alone though....

If my choice was coach or having to drive , I would then take the driving,
I only do the autotrain by getting a sleeping unit.

:rotfl: I'm sitting here watching DD4 nap while DW and DD9 hit the graduation party for a brief time. WHen they return we are off to a drive in. Does anyone else still have drive ins around them? We have 2 (I think that's all) in the region and we haven't been to it for years...but we are heading off to see Kung Fu Panda with two other families tonight. Should be fun. Hope I stay awake! :lmao:

We have one right up the road from us about 3 miles away. I think PA has few more than normal. My "meet" buddy from last years cruise was from AZ and she had one also but said they only got to enjoy it in sping or fall cause of the heat. We went last weekend to see Indiana Jones .

That sounds like fun, especially with other families. LMK how Kung Fu Panda is. The kids have already asked to go see it tomorrow. I haven't seen any reviews or previews.

We have a couple of drive-ins here too but they are almost as expensive as a movie theater so we quit going. They are good if you stay for all 3 movies though, but by the end of the first one, we are done.

Yeah Harry, we were just wearing coats and still had our heat on. This heat is ridiculous. It's not supposed to be this hot yet! We had rain all day today which has just made the humidity worse.

Are we still "allowed" to post our non-cruise, family stories?!? ;)

Jake's soccer season is finally over. It was quite a year. Undefeated and a championship in the fall.... a single loss over the winter.... and a so-so spring season. As an individual player he came along quite well this year. In the spring he played with 10 & 11 year olds so it was tough, but he hung in there. There was one team that beat us 3x.... they were able to get the ball over his head when he was in goal (7 foot goal, 4.5 foot Jake!)... we played them in our final game this week & they came in undefeated. Jake usually plays one half in goal and the other on the field (he's too young to get stuck in goal yet, but he's headed in that direction - plus, he's a good goal scorer....) For this last game our strategy was simple.... Jake would play the entire game in goal.... we would mark their best player... and try to get up early... It worked pretty well.... we got up 3-0 and then 4-1.... with about 3 minutes left though Jake let a soft one get past him and then they sailed another over his head.... In the last minute he came up HUGE... two point blank saves and then he blasted a kick into their end which effectively killed the remaining time....

Seven weeks until soccer camp..... :)

I just got back from a blazing hot cookout birthday party at the park. It was 99 degrees!! The park is on the Chesapeake Bay, and there is a beach, the kids all got in, although they weren't supposed too. My husband's cousin took them over to it.:scared1: The bugs were everywhere, but at least we were in the shade. It was fun sitting and talking with everybody. I'm glad to be home in the AC. I don't know why they didn't have the party at their house, they have a brand new pool!!

Jeff-

That sounds like fun, especially with other families. LMK how Kung Fu Panda is. The kids have already asked to go see it tomorrow. I haven't seen any reviews or previews.

We have a couple of drive-ins here too but they are almost as expensive as a movie theater so we quit going. They are good if you stay for all 3 movies though, but by the end of the first one, we are done.

Now I know why we don't go to Drive Ins. The screen is WAY too far away. The sound is terrible and the people in the gigantic monster trucks parked in front of us meant that we basically couldn't see the movie. We ended up just socializing and having a nice time with our neighbors. I don't think anyone in our group really was able to watch the movie so I can't give you a review. My DD9 said it was boring boring boring - BUT I think that's because she really didn't get to see much of it.

Hey Everybody.

Harry - Great for Jake! Elizabeth (my 9 year old) just played soccer for the first time this spring after playing softball the last 3 years. She really liked soccer more and wants to sign up for the fall season. She had an assist in the game yesterday which was her real first time on the scoresheet so she was pretty excited. It's a good sport for her and a good complement to swimming. She did pretty well in her time trials yesterday so practice starts in earnest tomorrow (though we'll miss it due to it being her first day at a new day camp and we think she needs to socialize on the first day). But I'll be up good and early for the 7 a.m. practice on Tuesday! :scared1:

Tim did okay in his meet yesterday. Got the 100 fly under his belt now... He's has two weeks left to prepare for his next meet where he will be doing two events he's never done - 400 free and 400 IM. The IM will probably do him in for sure!

What's up Kristen?

Hey those of you with pools, give me some advice. We are thinking of building one. I've been toying with it since we built our house 10 years ago. We put an addition on 2 years ago instead of moving to a bigger house..so I guess we are "committed" now. So the pool itch has gotten me again. If you all have any photos of your pools, I'd love to see them. I have a picture in my minds eye of what ours will look like but I love seeing other examples.

Not much. I can post some pictures this week.. Ours is nothing fancy but we do love having it. We decided to put the extra money into the automatic cover:

http://www.automaticpoolcovers.net/

Our pool is the shape of the one in the picture.. Safety wise, maintence, it all saves you in the long run. There is not dragging a cover off come spring and dragging one on in the winter time. We were just talking today about extending our pool decking.... The cover runs you about an extra $10,000,, but it is not something you can add on later. The tracking needs to be added when it gets installed so you can always add other stuff later but that you can not...

The pool is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! I say go for it. !!!!!!!!!!!! If you have Pools By Murphy do not go with them they have several lawsuits in CT pending, etc... JUST AN FYI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the tracking system we have with our pool::

No I hadn't. My boys, for some reason, aren't into the Guitar Hero games. Are you looking to play a little guitar?!

[hmansure]

Yuck - it's Monday.... and, oh, the forecast high here today is 100 (which rarely happens and never in early June) so people will surely be cranky! Not me though!!! :)

DD9 went to a pool party over the weekend and the folks who had just built this house (and the pool) actually had the pool that I picture in my minds eye. It was weird. AND they and they had the cover and showed me how it worked. Thanks for the info! We will actually go with a family run local business that has a great reputation (they built the pool that i saw this weekend and lots of ohters in the newer communities here).

I'm excited, I just got an email from Carnival cruise- I know I'm a traitor, but they will be having cruises leaving from good old Baltimore in late 2009 and 2010!! To Turks and Caicos, Bahamas, and Half Moon Cay- we will probably book one of those for 2010 or 2011. I have been on 2 Carnival cruises previously, but Steve and Jordan haven't. It would be great to drive 15 minutes and be at the port!!! I really want to do one of the new Disney ships too, after they work out the kinks, so this will let Steve know how much better DCL is, and he won't object to booking future DCL cruises!!:rotfl2:
