Coming from the Great White North in August WE'RE BACK.2nd DAY PTs1&2POSTED PAGE 23

[Queenofallthings]

I debated whether or not to do a pre-trippie with my sis Purplepeg and as I sit here on a beautiful sunny Winnipeg morning I decided why wouldn't I?

We are all heading back down in August, I think we're just suckers for heat and humidity or we're completely insane which is probably more accurate:eek:

The cast of characters will read like this....

Me - Queen of all things
Jasmine - my wonderful 16 year old daughter, my partner in this Dis obsession
Purplepeg - my much older and wiser sister
Geodoc - my BIL
Snow White - my gorgeous 8 year old niece who turns 9 in June
Mini Montana - my adorable 4 year old niece who is more like me than her mother would like....I think she's perfect!!!

If you followed us last year you know we went for 2 weeks and had a ball inspite of Fay trying to rain on our parade. This year Purplepeg and her family are going for 13 days on their very first DVC vacation and Jasmine and I are tagging along ( I have the best sister and BIL in the world) how lucky are we?? They depart on August 8 we leave on August 10. They are returning home on August 21 and Jasmine and I aren't returning until August 30!!! Here are the details......

Purplepeg and her family arrive on Aug 8 staying at SSR until Aug 15, moving to AKV on the 15th to the 21st then they depart for home sweet home. :worried:

Jasmine and I arrive on Aug 10 and will be staying with them until the 21st, then we'll be moving over to ASMu on the 21st until the 30th. Couldn't pass up free dining and hey we're already there!!!!:cloud9:

We are all travelling down on Westjet on that godforsaken 6am flight....oh who am I kidding we don't sleep the night before anyways, might as well be on a flight!!! We arrive in Orlando just after 1pm....of course on 2 different days but same flight times etc.

Jas and I both needed new passports this year so they are supposed to be here this Tuesday so we're patiently waiting for those, along with the August hours.....:confused3 Peg and I have already decided which ADR's we're doing everyday, however, if it's EMH we may need to change some things:rolleyes1

I have a few surprises up my sleeve for my beautiful Jasmine while we're there, but I won't be able to share them until we're home, because she's on here as much as I am....:hug:

Hmmm, trying to think if there's anything else I can share right now.....give me a minute, talking is my specialty. Oh yeah, Peg and I will be double teaming on this adventure for look for her comments too, she's always good for a laugh:laughing:

Oh yeah, one more thing,.....if you followed us last year you know Jas and I aren't the best flyers in the world so that's always good for some laughs.....last year we had to abort landing coming into Orlando, let's just say there were tears and upset tummies (mine).:sick: I honestly think that's why Peg and her family are flying out 2 days before us, apparently we scarred Snow from flying, well, she wanted to sit with us......:scared1:

I think that's it for now, we can make our ADR's on May 10 so will fill you in on those once they're done!!!!!

[purplepeg]

Well, well, well....I see I have to clear up a few misconceptions.
#1....I may be older but I LOOK younger than you:rotfl2:
#2....My poor baby Snow White doesn't like to fly anymore (completely your fault!) even though on her first flight she kept saying "up, up die!" because she couldn't say sky:lmao::lmao::rotfl2:
#3...acuurate, we are the best sister and BIL you have;) (the only ones you have but besides that little detail!)

Looking forward to reading along with your perceptions and then adding the real details for everyone:banana:

We'll have such a great time.

Hop on, I promise you it'll be a ride you won't forget:woohoo:

[Queenofallthings]

Oh Peg, isn't it how funny people perceive things so differentl??!!

Anyhoodle, Jasmine's passport arrived today:cool1: Not sure what happened to mine, maybe it will arrive tomorrow:confused3 Mine was the condensed application and Jas's was the long one, oh well, that's the government for ya.

Other than that nothing else to report, than it is 19 degrees and beautiful and sunny. I have all the windows open and housework doesn't seem such a chore when you have nice warm air coming through!!:thumbsup2

[purplepeg]

here's some photos so you know who we are.

We had to move a few things around 'cause I get to call this weekend to book ADR's:woohoo: Looking good, we'll fill you in on the details soon!

[Queenofallthings]

All is good....my passport arrived yesterday.....YIPPEE:cool1:

I was just getting ready to leave the house to go grocery shopping and the mailman was at the door...perfect timing:thumbsup2

Sunday we can make our first 10 days of ADR's.....yup, have to get up at the crack of dawn on Mother's Day.....not me though, Peg's doing it:worship:

I believe it's the 23rd that I can make the rest for the 9 days Jas and I are there by ourselves:hug:

Lurkers, please come out and talk to us we would love to chat:yay:

I just realized you had this pre-trip report going. Cool! Our new passports arrived last week so we're ready to go. Do you think we need to wait until August? Come on 649!!!

[Queenofallthings]

I just realized you had this pre-trip report going. Cool! Our new passports arrived last week so we're ready to go. Do you think we need to wait until August? Come on 649!!!

So glad you found us!!! I found yours yesterday I believe, it's like finding an old friend!!!:thumbsup2

Yeah for 649....I just said that exact thing to Jasmine, "if we win 16 million dollars tomorrow, we're outta here on Monday after we get the check":rotfl:

We are making our first batch of ADR's on Sunday so will post those once their confirmed!:banana:

[Diamondintheruff]

I'm reporting for duty as official understudy in case anyone backs out!

You should have PM'd me I would have been here sooner.

Let's see if you're doing down from the 8th to the 30th (combined) then I figure according to how long it took you to finish the other reports (or not finish them) we'll be celebrating mini M's high school graduation when you finish this one.

I'm in anyway.

YIPEE, I'm so glad you're here!!! I knew I could count on you as my understudy....I just had a feeling:banana:

See the difference this year is....I have the internet, so I can post everyday!! The only thing I don't know how to do is post pictures, which I'm sure can't be rocket science:confused:hang on, I have a 16 year old daughter.....I'll just get her to figure it out. She may have had to program my Blackberry for me:rolleyes1

Too bad there's no chance we'll run into you in MK again this year:sad1:

[Queenofallthings]

I ordered our last 7 day pass from airmiles today:cool1:

I was short about 30 when I ordered the first 3 so had to wait....thank goodness for 7X your airmiles when buying prescriptions;)

The other 3 arrived within 5 days of ordering them, I was actually shocked when they came that quickly:)

Once we get there I am going to add on the park hopper and two of them I will add on 3 days to make them 10 day apsses, shouldn't be very much money is my understanding,:woohoo:

As I am typing this I am looking out the front winter to big fluffy snowflakes falling....IT'S MAY.....ok I'm ok now I think:rotfl2:

[Diamondintheruff]

It's raining cats and dogs here. Better than snow though.

We ordered our seaworld passes from airmiles last year. They came really quickly too. Dh used to put all his business expenses through the credit card so it was easy to rack up the miles.

Snowflakes!! only in Winnipeg. Haven't the mosquitos carried them away yet?

[Queenofallthings]

Snowflakes!! only in Winnipeg. Haven't the mosquitos carried them away yet?

You'd think so wouldn't you....but no!!!:confused3 Only in Winnipeg is right, if you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes, well I waited all day and it didn't change anything:laughing:

With all the flood waters I can't imagine what the mosquitos will be like this year.....I don't even want to think about it:eek:

[declansdad]

Happy Mother's Day!!

[purplepeg]

Thanks for the Mother's Day wishes:worship:
I sit here on hold for the last 49 minutes waiting to get through for dining ADR's:scared1:At this rate we won't be eating anywhere:rolleyes1
Cross your fingers for us, I can't believe I've had to wait for so long. When I was first connected they said it would be 30 minutes:confused:Anyway....Thanks again for the wishes.
I was holding a garage sale in the snow yesterday:sad2:I did well considering there weren't as many people as I think there would have been if it had been sunny. I had to crawl in the tub when I was done I was so cold, any way I have warmed up and am really enjoying getting up so early on Mother's Day to sit on hold for an hour!

Good wishes to all the other Mother's out there:love:

[Queenofallthings]

Happy Mother's Day!!

Thanks so much.....please pass on a big Happy Mother's Day to Pooksma from us:)

[Queenofallthings]

So we made our ADR's for the first 10 days.....Peg, bless her heart was up bright and early on Mother's Day to call!!! :love:

I haven't completely finalized our last 9 days....:rolleyes1 When Peg and I were looking at the park hours calendar, I noticed that it actually changed the last week of August, so I need to sit down and make sure everything still works. I can call on May 23 for our ADR's for those final days, so I am looking forward to that!!!!:yay:

I got Jasmine all hooked up on here, so you'll be hearing her 2 cents worth in the near future....she may have a dry sense of humour like her mother...:confused3

Well, it's time to change the :laundy: best get at that......

[Queenofallthings]

It's been a few days since a update.....Jasmine and I headed down to the good US of A for a shopping trip, we do this probably half a dozen times a year. Jasmine loves loves loves Abercrombie and Hollister....me not so much, good lord those stores are expensive. She gets frustrated when I head straight for the sales racks.....hey, when she's paying she can go to the front of the store and pay full price:rotfl2:

We went with my friend and her daughter, it was supposed to be just Brenda and I but I am still not sure about leaving Jas alone at home for 2 nights. I know, everyone keeps telling me "she's 16 and a half" stop babying her.....these people don't have children I might add:confused3

I hit Target, my fav store. Love getting all my toiletries here and food products we can't get at home. :cloud9: We did a considerable amount of damage this trip, taking a teenage girl is always expensive:eek:

She is all set now for cloths for our trip so I am happy about that. The only thing she still needs....err...wants is another bathing suit. I personally thing 2 is sufficient, but she thinks she needs 3:scared1: I told her she can go to the mall here with her friends, try stuff on (what I like isn't what she likes) then call me and I'll come down once the choices have been narrowed down:rolleyes1

We can call for our last 9 days on dining on Saturday morning, so I will be up bright and early doing that....wish me luck:wizard:

[Queenofallthings]

I got up this morning and made ADR's for the 19th and 20th. We were successful in getting Whispering Canyon on the 19th and O'hana's on the 20th. :lovestruc

I am going to try....err....I mean I am going to finish my planning for the 21st to the 30th tomorrow, considering I have to call on Saturday morning.:rotfl: Gotta love getting up at the crack of dawn on a Saturday.....:banana: Who am I kidding, I LOVE IT!!!

When Jasmine and I were in Fargo shopping this past weekend, she made fun of me everytime I said something about her cloths, she thinks I have planning problems, or obsessions as she calls them.....I personally don't think it's a problem:thumbsup2

I ordered the Heys Packing Cubes from the shopping channel last week and they were waiting for us when we arrived home:love: Jas just shook her head:cutie:

I laid out all her shorts and tops this morning to try and get my list started for packing....we have laundry facilities, but I don't know how I feel about doing :laundy: while I'm on vacation. I know you may find this hard to believe but she does have enough cloths for the 3 weeks were gone....I on the other hand do not......surprised?????

I will let you know how my ADR call goes on Saturday morning......:yay:

Hello from a fellow Winnipegger!

[Queenofallthings]

Hello from a fellow Winnipegger!


Hey, welcome, so nice to have you along!!:cool1:

[Diamondintheruff]

I'm a huge fan of doing laundry at Disney. Of course it involves a good book, an alcoholic drink and lying by the pool. It seems all the Disney laundry facilities seem to be by the pools anyway. But each to his own.

I don't think you were wrong to take your 16.5 year old with you. Two nights is a long time. I can imagine the danger I could have gotten into at 16 if I was left alone for two nights.

Isn't it a great feeling to get those ADRs under your belt?

Thanks for sharing the laundry secret with me.....nothing like a good cocktail by the pool:cloud9:

It's not so much Jasmine that I worry about as it is her friends and acqaintances finding out she was home alone, party time at our house I am thinking:rolleyes1 She is at cheerleading practice right now, so I was working on her packing list.....she just makes fun of me as I previously said, she doesn't understand getting things organized this early:headache:

Yes, having the ADR's done is huge, now I just have to finish up the last nine days, but I will work on that tomorrow!!!

[purplepeg]

I affectionately refer to her as a freak:lmao: She's already got her index cards done for the first part. Seriously, she has too, too much time on her hands.:scared1:I actually called member services today to do Whispering Canyon and O'Hanas and got terrible times only to find out Queen had already done it. Should have known she'd be on top of it:rotfl2: So guess I'll be cancelling my times.

I had a friend who has a daughter who works for Disney offer to have a playdate with the kids so dh and I can go out to dinner with no kids! I'm seriously considering it but concerned too. What if they misbehave, or she doesn't watch them as closely as I would? I know, mother paranoia but all viable concerns.

Thanks for all those who are posting.:worship: We sure appreciate it. :woohoo:

[Queenofallthings]

Couple of new and exciting things to tell you all about!!! First off, my BFF, Brenda, and her daughter Kayla will be flying down to WDW on Aug 22 to join Jasmine and I for our last nine days of vacation:cool1:

For those of you that read our report from last August, Brenda is my friend that comes to my house, irons my cloths, and packs us for our trip. She is a genius when it comes to packing.....she is going to go and pack Purplepeg and her family too.:thumbsup2 I told her, if she's offering, accept!!!! It really does make it easier to get last minute things done, especially when you have to work right up until departure day:rolleyes1 that would be me not Purplepeg.....I always tell her she's a kept woman (only because I'm totally jealous)

The next exciting thing to tell you is we made our last 9 days of ADR's today:cool1::banana: We are not having all our meals with Brenda and Kayla as Kayla is a vegetarian and Shanleigh loves her beef!!!! So we decided to keep everyone happy we would go where everyone wants to go and if that means splitting up, that's what we would do. So here is the last nine days!!!;)

Aug 21 Purplepeg and her fam leave us:sad1:and Jas and I go to Raglan Road

Aug 22 B and Kayla arrive and we all go together to Planet Hollywood

Aug 23 Jas and I go to Sci Fi --B and Kayla go to Cap'n Jacks

Aug 24 Jas and I go to Coral Reef -- B and Kayla go to Rose and Crown

Aug 25 all of us to Les Chefs du France

Aug 26 all of us to Kona Cafe

Aug 27 Jas and I to Wolfgang Pucks -- B and Kayla to Yak and Yeti

Aug 28 Jas and I to Tutto Italia -- B and Kayla to Whispering Canyon Cafe

Aug 29 All of us to Big River Grille and Brewing

Aug 30 we fly home:sad1: to :laundy: for me and :teacher: for Jasmine

I will post our daytime schedules tomorrow - hopefully - we're heading over to Brendas to sit by the pool and have dinner :cloud9: I love when someone else makes dinner on Sunday:worship:

[Diamondintheruff]

It's wonderful that you can agree not to agree. That's the best kind of friend.

Glad the early morning call proved itself to be worth the break in sleep after all. Your ADR's look great. Are they all for dinner? Specifically I was thinking Kona and Tonga toast for breakfast.

Dinner by the pool sounds fab. Not quite that warm out here yet but getting there. It's just all these darn mosquitos you have to put up with.

Ahem, she forgot to tell you it was her fabulous sister who got all the ADR's done:woohoo:

They are all for dinner, she doesn't like to waste time for breakfast in the morning and gets more out of dinner for her money.

Yesterday and today were the first nice days we've had here since last summer. It's been so flipping cold here they been able to larvacide more of the standing water because it hasn't been warm enough for the darn things to hatch yet:woohoo:

Yes all for dinner, I wanted to do Kona for breakfast but that was one of the compromises I had to make:eek: I have never had tonga toast....maybe someday:rolleyes1

I was a beautiful day here today, had the best time!!! Jasmine got quite a lot of color today, I kept harping about the sunscreen so she is a very nice brown!!!! No mosquitos yet.....but let me tell you when they hit, it is not enjoyable!!!!:mad:

[Diamondintheruff]

No mosquitos yet.....but let me tell you when they hit, it is not enjoyable!!!!

Well, they've hit here in Ontario. It was beautiful out this weekend too. Supposed to rain just in time for me to take my kindergarten class on an outdoor field trip to the Outdoor Education Centre. I'm trying to convince Dh to come and help out with my class but he already went went twice last week with Cindy's (DD8) and Jedi's (DS6) classes. He's covered in bites on his ankles and wrists. He wore a bug hat and long sleeves but his work gloves left some wrist exposed and he should have choosen his boots over his hiking shoes. He thought socks would stop the mosquitos. Silly man.

It's been so flipping cold here they been able to larvacide more of the standing water because it hasn't been warm enough for the darn things to hatch yet

I thought this was outlawed now. Our municipality used to spray for mosquitos but the chemical backlash was considered too high to downplay the risks of diesease.

I have never had tonga toast....maybe someday


You know it's not that expensive and Kona is not that busy in the mornings. You should head over there some morning around 10 after you've done a few rides in the park and get one. Just be ready for the sugar high.

[Queenofallthings]

Nope, not outlawed here.....you can call the city and they will not spray around your house but I can't remember the exact specs on that.

I never thought to run there in the morning.....great idea. I checked out the prices of Kona, and even paying OOP, not bad at all!!!!

[Queenofallthings]

Ok, I just got off the phone with Purplepeg, she walked me through photobucket:yay: I had no clue:rolleyes1

I wanted to post some pictures to get used to this so here goes......

I thought you would all like to see who else will be joining us on our adventure this summer:banana: I am going to go through the pictures on the computer and see what else we have,,...maybe I'll post more:rolleyes1

[Queenofallthings]

I thought I would add some of Jasmine from this year....this is her and her two friends going to spring fling....I forced them to go.....Jasmine's best friend Jocelyn had lost her brother in a car accident the week before and the girls had all been to the funeral that day.....I told them life goes on.....get dressed and pretty yourselves up, you're going to the dance!!! There is just something wrong when your child has lost 2 friends in high school......so sad!

[Queenofallthings]

So as you can see I have the photobucket thingy mastered now!! I just need to get some new pictures on the computer which hopefully Jasmine will do for me tonight:hug:

I have had an "exciting" couple of days:scared1:

I took Jasmine and her friend driving on Tuesday after school as they are both booked to take their test on Tuesday morning Jun 2. Jasmine did her parallel parking perfect everytime:love:so great!!! Jocelyn....not so much and you would think this would be a clue to me about her driving ability wouldn't you...but nope doesn't register:eek:

So now we're done the parking we move on to the driving....good god was I terrified! Again, you would think I would clue in to her lack of experience when she asked me which way to turn the wheel to go right:rolleyes: To make a long story short she almost killed us:mad: Now normally I wouldn't be angry but when you have to scream and grab the wheel to avoid a head on collision, I don't know....made me a little angry....but only because she said "I'm not as dumb as you think I am.....I may have lost it at this point. It's not about being dumb, it's about common sense...you don't steer into oncoming traffic, or is it just me????/:rolleyes1 So when i reach over to grab and steer away from certain death, I feel a horrible pain in my hand!!! I make Jasmine take over the driving, drop her friend off at home, and tell Jas, I think I did something to my hand.

When I got up yesterday it was purple and really swollen, I'm thinkin,....this can't be good:sick: Drop Jasmine off at school and off I go to the minor injury clinic......

I wait for 6.5 hours, 3 x-rays to confirm what I thought all along....yup broke 2 bones in my hand!!!!!:rolleyes1 I have a cast!! Never had a broken bone in my life....well today I'm finding it ain't easy having one of these things!!!!! The doctor said to come back for a follow up next week, so here I m thinking, that will be to get the cast off:rolleyes: My BIL informs me, nope, they will be putting a permanent one once the swelling has stopped:confused3 It comes in very handy having a Doc in the family.

So, it has taken me a while to type this installment.....this hunt and peck typing style is hard:headache:

I will keep you updated, I want to get our full itinerary on here, it may take awhile. Maybe Jasmine can do the typing and I'll do the dictating!!!:rotfl2: Wait until she realizes she has to do most of the housework now:thumbsup2

Jocelyn....not so much and you would think this would be a clue to me about her driving ability wouldn't you...but nope doesn't register:eek:

So now we're done the parking we move on to the driving....good god was I terrified! Again, you would think I would clue in to her lack of experience when she asked me which way to turn the wheel to go right:rolleyes: To make a long story short she almost killed us:mad: Now normally I wouldn't be angry but when you have to scream and grab the wheel to avoid a head on collision, I don't know....made me a little angry....but only because she said "I'm not as dumb as you think I am.....I may have lost it at this point. It's not about being dumb, it's about common sense...you don't steer into oncoming traffic, or is it just me????/:rolleyes1 So when i reach over to grab and steer away from certain death, I feel a horrible pain in my hand!!! I make Jasmine take over the driving, drop her friend off at home, and tell Jas, I think I did something to my hand.

When I got up yesterday it was purple and really swollen, I'm thinkin,....this can't be good:sick: Drop Jasmine off at school and off I go to the minor injury clinic......

I wait for 6.5 hours, 3 x-rays to confirm what I thought all along....yup broke 2 bones in my hand!!!!!:rolleyes1 I have a cast!! Never had a broken bone in my life....well today I'm finding it ain't easy having one of these things!!!!! The doctor said to come back for a follow up next week, so here I m thinking, that will be to get the cast off:rolleyes: My BIL informs me, nope, they will be putting a permanent one once the swelling has stopped:confused3 It comes in very handy having a Doc in the family.

So, it has taken me a while to type this installment.....this hunt and peck typing style is hard:headache:

I will keep you updated, I want to get our full itinerary on here, it may take awhile. Maybe Jasmine can do the typing and I'll do the dictating!!!:rotfl2: Wait until she realizes she has to do most of the housework now:thumbsup2


Can I sign your cast?

[Queenofallthings]

Can I sign your cast?

Of course you can!!! :cool1: The best thing is it's my left hand so at least I'll still be able to get that Grey Goose slushie to my lips:lovestruc

[purplepeg]

Oh poor Queen, don't you all feel sorry for her?:confused3Well guess what....she broke my finger when we were much younger because I wouldn't let her wear a pair of my pants:scared1:So I just say, all good things come to those who wait:rolleyes1

Jasmine driving, how can that be, it seems like yesterday she was standing by mom and dad's pool buck naked asking if geodoc and I wanted a gummy worm:rotfl2:I politely pointed out that she was naked (because she was in the middle of getting ready to put her bathing suit on and was only 4 at the time) and she replied "I KNOW, but do you want a gummy worm?":lmao::rotfl2:Gosh she was cute.

[declansdad]

Depending on our schedules, maybe we can meet while we're down there:)

I will hopefully get our full itinerary on here this weekend....I will do my best:rotfl2::rotfl2:

Isn't that the truth....I think there are pictures too....go big or go home right:confused3 I wonder if Jasmine will feel that way:rotfl2:

[Queenofallthings]

Thank you Geodoc for your help because your SIL is computer illiterate....I mean my hand is broken, yeah that's it!!! Thanks for your help:worship:

[Geodoc]

No Problem QoAT.....now don't be fooled when Purplepeg posts and states she did all the work to add the hyperlink to your sig line.......I was the brains behind the operation!!!
Hope the hand is feeling better..

Oh one last thing......for all of you following along....please note yet again I am the only person with a Y chromosome on this trip!!! All I can say is PLEASE HELP ME :)

:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2: never thought of that!!!

[ChevyNat]

I am not on the free Dining plan, my Sis has points with club Intrawest, so we booked with those, could not get free dining plan.

I've stayed at OKW before and simply adore it there, so cozy and beautiful. I can't wait to see it again...

I would also love to meet somewhere, maybe by the pool at OKW :cool1:

[Geodoc]

To declansdad: we think alike....I will be lucky to get 30 seconds!!!:cool2:

Sounds like a plan to me!!! I will try and get our schedule done and on here this week:confused3 This typing with one hand is not easy:confused:

[purplepeg]

Oh I see things are coming along here swimmingly:thumbsup2
I really did do the hyperlink all by myself. I believe Geodoc said "I'd have to look at it, you probably have to copy and paste"

Poor Geodoc, good thing we're at DVC with two bathrooms, maybe three, I can't remember!

I can't believe it's getting so close and I'm starting to feel behind with all the planners I read about on here. Some people are incredibly organized, I think I'm jealous:rotfl2:

[Queenofallthings]

Don't you worry Peg...remember it's not me being bossy, I'm mearly helping you get organized!!!! I know how much you love my opinion on everything:rotfl2:

:lmao: Ya got that right....do you get the "I'm gonna kill ya if you don't shut up" look????:rotfl2:

That just makes me do it more......:confused3

[Queenofallthings]

The school year is quickly coming to a close..... I am still in denial that Jasmine is going into grade 12 in the fall:rolleyes1 We attended the sports awards banquet last evening as I received a letter from the school saying that Jasmine would be receiving an award:worship:

We had a beautiful dinner prepared by the kids in the Food Services Department at Jas's school....so yummy:cloud9: Then we all proceeded into the gym for the actual awards.....Jas won for hours logged for sport...she is on the cheerleading team and loves it....

Here is the team after they placed second at the Provincial Championships, Jas is top row almost dead centre
http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss349/Queenofallthings/n588485096_2768132_2147051.jpg

Jasmine and her BFF Breezy before we left for the banquet
http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss349/Queenofallthings/003.jpg

Aren't they gorgeous...Breezy entertained us all evening, she is so funny
http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss349/Queenofallthings/002.jpg

http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss349/Queenofallthings/004.jpg

We were so proud of this team, they came from dead last to second in a matter of 6 weeks. The last competition before provincials was horrid, the night before the girls had a last minute practice and Breezy broke her collar bone:sick: They were trying to re-arrange stunts, positions etc - and the girls were devastated when they placed last. To rally and place second...well let's just say all of us mom's may have been bawling!!!!:confused3:confused3

Exams start the week after next but Jas only has to write one, Biology and it's on the Friday so she can focus all her attention on that one subject. She is an honour student so I'm not concerned at all:rolleyes1 Now, having said that....she gets very stressed, and guess who suffers, that's right, the mama:headache:

Oh well' I guess we take the brunt of it,:love:

[Hypermommy]

Hi Queen!!! Thanks so much for letting me know you'd started a pretippie!!! I've been soooooo swamped and this boss I'm working for now is such a b with an itch! She just KNOWS every time I'm goofing off! Can't get away with nuttin'.

Y'all appear to be suckers for heat, humidity and hurricanes!!!

Snow White!! What a perfect name her!!!! With that dark hair and those beautiful features she's definitely the fairest in the land!!! And y'all make sure you tell her I told you so. I know how y'all like to traumatize that poor child!!!

Can't wait to hear about the surprises for Jasmine!!! Of course, knowing y'all, she'll need a shrink after your surprises! :-)

Peg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, this is gonna be such a fun trippie!!! Can't wait to hear all the stories from BOTH perspectives!!!

You just *think* she was saying die because she couldn't say sky. I'll bet Queen had already found a bedtime story book about plane crashes to read to her!

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: @ diamond re MM graduating before we end the TR!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!! 4 pages in a month???????? Wow...this sure is different from Peg's TR

"When she's paying..." Amen to that!!! We found some jeans all messed up the other day. Looked like bleach did it. For a while there I thought EM#1 was trying to make his pants look all cool and stuff. Remember how they did a while back with all the holes in them! Whew!!! At least they don't do that now (though getting him to keep a freakin' belt! around his waist you think I was asking him to dig the Chunnel single handedly or something!!!!!!)

3 bathing suits!!!!!!!!!! What's she gonna do... change every 10 minutes?????????????????????????? Teenagers!!!!!!!!

So I did see Downtown Disney on there. Is that a Saturday? I may have to just invade your little party if KC lets me. I dunno though... he did take me last weekend and we had such a blast. It'll be my last trip to the parks for a while I'm sure.

Nope...I didn't leave the EMs alone last weekend either. The way they fight??? I wouldn't have a house to come back to!!

Ahhhhh, Queen! You go girl!!! Love the organization and planning!

You have GOT to have tonga toast!! It's so yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great pics!!

Oh that bit about the girl's brother is sooo sad. Teenagers shouldn't have to deal with tragedy like that.

OMG!!! Your driving teaching sounds like it was quite the thrill ride!!! Somehow I think the Grey Goose slushie would still find its way to your lips.

Oh, Peg... bet Jas just LOVES you telling that story!!!

Geodoc, I hadn't realized that you were the only one with a Y chromosome...don't know why I didn't... just didn't think. Are you insane?????????????

Peg, do you really think 2 or 3 bathrooms is gonna help? My guess is that Jas is in bathroom for a little while gettingthe look just right (basing that on her clothes shopping habits....she probably does the whole teen girl thing). And just think... y'all are gonna have twice the fun when yours are teenagers.

Have Jas send some of those study habits my way. I know a child (not saying names but his initials are EM#1) that could really use them!!!!

See y'all again soon! I know I'm going to love this trip report.

[ChevyNat]

:lmao: Ya got that right....do you get the "I'm gonna kill ya if you don't shut up" look????:rotfl2:

That just makes me do it more......:confused3

My sis has the "if looks could kill" soooo icy brrrrr. ha! ha! But I love her to pieces....:hug:

Beautiful pictures, lovely girls

[purplepeg]

It's so nice to see you on here! When she was younger all dressed in a Cinderella costume, Cinderella said to her "you look just like my friend Snow White!"

Can't wait to hear about the surprises for Jasmine!!! Of course, knowing y'all, she'll need a shrink after your surprises! :-)

Peg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, this is gonna be such a fun trippie!!! Can't wait to hear all the stories from BOTH perspectives!!!

You just *think* she was saying die because she couldn't say sky. I'll bet Queen had already found a bedtime story book about plane crashes to read to her!
Did I mention we were trying to decide if we should tell the kids we were leaving two days early? We told them Geodoc and I were going early to have some alone time and they would fly down with Queen and Jasmine. Snow White replied "you can't make me fly with them! I won't do it!" I could not stop laughing:rotfl2: There's the poor kid crying and Mini Montana saying ok! I know you won't find it hard to believe that I could do that. She was much better when I said we were going down before Queen and Jasmine.

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: @ diamond re MM graduating before we end the TR!!! Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!! 4 pages in a month???????? Wow...this sure is different from Peg's TR

I HEAR ALL OF YOU! When I am done here I will FINISH the other one today. I am a busy mom unlike some people who have time on their hands:rolleyes1

I'll have to look and see if that's a weekend. We'd love to see you! Even though you tease so. I bet you're just a big marshmallow in person:hug:

I've got that one stored away for all the important moments of her life:banana:

Geodoc, I hadn't realized that you were the only one with a Y chromosome...don't know why I didn't... just didn't think. Are you insane?????????????

He loves it! Good practice for him since he has 3 of us in the house at all times now and they are getting older everyday:cool1:See below comment, it's sooo true!

We'll do our best to keep you entertained:dance3:

[Hypermommy]

LOL @ Snow White's reaction to flying with Queen again!!!!!!

Gotta run... but I just had to pop in and say that. You're so mean to that girl!!!!

And yes... I am a big ole' marshmallow in person. In fact, I look something like the Stay Puft Marshmallow man that terrorized the city in Ghostbusters!

Hiya Winnipegers! Just caught up, sounds fun so far! I remember meeting Geodoc at the front entrance to Pop Century during one of our previous trips. I didn`t actually know his Disboards name at the time so I blurted out, Hey, you`re Purplepegs DH aren`t you? Think I shocked him, he didn`t expect anyone to recognize him! :goodvibes

I'm here, I'm here! I'm late, but I'm here! :banana: Now, to go back and read... popcorn::

LOL yeah it was a bit of a shock...especially since we had gone all week wearing the Mickey Ear paint chip from Home Depot to mark us as Dissers and I thought "Who the heck is going to notice these!!!" :confused:
Well Shir Kahn did!:) Sorry we did not have a chance to chat more that day.

[purplepeg]

I'm here, I'm here! I'm late, but I'm here! :banana: Now, to go back and read... popcorn::

That was too funny when he came back to the table and said "I just met someone from the Disboards. I think his name was Shir Khan"
he thought it was a waste of time to be wearing those lime green Mickey Heads, I knew it would work!

Glad you're on board. I obviously have some catching up to on on your tr's.

[purplepeg]

Well I went to the local Home Depot today and collected some paint chips. planning on doing some painting....NOT!

I hit Walmart too for a lime green poster board so the countdown calendar should be up soon for the kids....and us:cool1:

I've been trying to investigate about pre-ordering the photopass cd. There's a code out right now that makes it around $85 but I am unclear about the timeline. I understand it has to be ordered before 60 days is up and the code ends June 15 and that is more than 60 days from when we would order it. Does anyone have any advice on this? I've read you can call and ask them to extend it but it's not guaranteed. Anyone have any thoughts?

My other question is who know either where to find this or send me the link, what exactly is in the DVC's? I'm looking for what kind of pots, how many, blender? etc. I thought I came across that info once but then can't find it.:scared1: It was one of those "oh, I'll look at that later and now I can't find it". Any help would be appreciated.

I've been looking at those Vera Bradley backpacks too. Does anyone have one and are they worth the money? What size is best?

Now don't all answer at once, take turns and make sure everyone gets a chance:rotfl2:

[Queenofallthings]

I'm here, I'm here! I'm late, but I'm here! :banana: Now, to go back and read... popcorn::

Fantas

[lisalonglash]

Your plans look fantastic! Oh, and aren't there two kinds of slushies? That means you could have a Grey Goose in one hand and the other kind in the other hand - variety is the spice of life, ya know! :rotfl2:

[declansdad]

I like that schedule. We plan to be viewing Illuminations on the 12th as well. Only we hope to be on the deck at the Rose and Crown and I will have a pint of their finest ale in my hand.

So you're going to Ohana and ohana means family and family means no one gets left behind.... but Peg's leaving you. Huh? Actually, it's probably just as well. We don't want to give you another chance at those darling girls' psyches on the plane. :rotfl2:

Yup, kicking them to the curb!!:lmao: I think Snow White would be curled into the fetal position if she had to fly with us again. I'll have my hands full with Jasmine. I do have an IPOD now, so I'm hoping that will help me pass the time on the plane:banana:

Is it a video iPOD? If so you can watch "Snakes on a Plane" on the way home! :lmao:

Honestly, I can't think of a stupider premise for a movie. Definitely not something I've ever had a inkling of desire to watch.

But it sounds like a perfect flick for you on the way home. Just look at it this way... with a bunch of snakes on the plane you'll want to get to ground as quickly as possible no matter what that means.

[Queenofallthings]

Thought I would put a quick post together before I leave for a doctor's appointment.

I bit the bullet on the weekend and bought Jasmine a Wii...with Rockband 2:scared1: By 3am I was thinking "What was I thinking??" Just kidding, love having Jasmine and her friends around, they are wonderful kids!!:love:

Took Jasmine and her friend Sara for new summer hair do's yesterday:cool1: I couldn't stay at the salon, I thought what if they hate it, what if there's drama. Both girls loved their hair and there was no drama. ...come on...you Disfriends with teen daughters know exactly what I'm talking about:scared1:
Jasmine ready for her first job interview...she got it and starts today:banana:

We have sadly become addicted to this game:headache: We took it to Brenda's yesterday so we could all play after a day in the pool....I laughed so hard...welll....you know:rotfl:

I agree with you, I love the new do also!!:cool2: Jas is working at a hair salon/store front desk/cashier!! She had her first shift last Thursday and so far so good:woohoo:

[Queenofallthings]

Here I sit on a gorgeous summmer evening, with the house all to myself, and thought I would do a little post:cool1: Jasmine and Thomas are out for dinner so I better get this done before they're home and she wants the laptop!!:rotfl2:

We just had the best weekend weather wise so far this year. We spent yesterday at Brenda and Eric's, swam, had a BBQ for dinner, then played Rockband...such a great way to spend a day. Today, we attended Snow White's piano recital....I have one talented niece....not that I'm bragging or anything:rolleyes1 Then Peg had us all over for dinner....yummy BBQ hamburgers, my fav summertime meal:love:

I am hoping to get most of my packing lists finished this week...Jas has her final exams so should give me some time in the computer while she is studying:yay:

I really want to get the "What I Still Need to Purchase" list done so I'm not out at the last minute running around like a chicken with my head cut off:guilty:

Brenda and I are hoping to get some shopping done this week so we'll see:rolleyes1 Hope everyone had a great of a weekend as we did.....

Sorry Peg...clearly i was too hungry to think of pic's at that moment:lmao: Maybe some appetizers next time would help;)

Great pictures, Queen! It's always nice to see "life updates" :goodvibes Everyone looks to be having a fantastic time - those quizzes sound hilarious! The girls' haircuts look great! Enjoyed the recital pictures too. :thumbsup2

I agree with you, I love the new do also!!:cool2: Jas is working at a hair salon/store front desk/cashier!! She had her first shift last Thursday and so far so good:woohoo:

That sounds right up her alley... and the employee discount won't help, right? I mean, I'm not saying your girl spends too much time on her looks or anything but she IS beautiful and any girl that needs THREE BATHING SUITS for a 2 week trip probably does spend her fair share of time in the bathroom primping, I'd guess. :rotfl2:

Oh, and while I have your attention, let's get one thing straight. Just because you cook it outside doesn't mean it's BBQ. You grilled hamburgers (and they look yummy... I want some!). BBQ involves rubs and sauces and, most importantly, slow cooking. Now, next time y'all try to get it right. I know, I know.. you can't help yerself. It's probably the term y'all were raised with. But having been raised in South Carolina where BBQ'ing is akin to an act of worship, I felt I just had to say something. :rotfl2:

Yes, I agree the girls do favor each other a LOT! Wow!!!

Looks like y'all had a wonderful time. Great pics!!

So sorry on the faux pas....temporary monent of insanity. We were raised wrong and I'm sorry, no rubs, no slow cooking just grillin' (how's that):rotfl2:

you could never offend me....you are my sarcasm sparring partner:lmao: Peg bought me a fridge magnet one year that says - sarcasm - just one of the services I offer:banana: It's sport for me - and it saddens me when people don't get my humour.....I find myself quite hilarious -- wait for it -- Peg will have a comment on that one:rotfl2:

I am keeping my fingers crossed you can make it, it would be awful to be so close (in the grand scheme of things) and not get to meet. On the other hand you seem like an old friend that I have known forever:hug:

[Queenofallthings]

I can't believe it's 50 days until Jasmine and I leave:cool1::cool1::cool1:

We are off to Peg's for brunch in an hour or so to celebrate Father's Day as Geodoc is working tomorrow. I think Peg and I may get together then to look over the Garden Grocer website and decide what food we will be ordering:cloud9:

I think that's about it.....hope all you father's have the best day ever:banana:

Thanks Tiff:hug: We are getting super excited....I did catch Jasmine trying to watch an episode of Mayday the other day there.....I was not happy with her. Every little noise, movement,sway...you name it, she'll bring up an episode of Mayday on the aircraft....it's like self torture:confused3

Can't wait for our cocktail:yay:

LOL too funny.

LOL too funny.

It does sound funny until you have to be on an aircraft with her:eek: I am seriously considering getting 2 black coffees from Timmies at the airport, adding some Bailey's and maybe a gravol....does this seem at all wrong, cause I'm ok with it:confused3

Ahem, I am sure you meant to add "meet BOTH of you" right:confused3

Offend Queen:confused3 for that you just have to ask her daughter near the end of her Disney vacation when she's going to start crying? You'll see Queen get real hot then......but torment my children about their fears for an entire two weeks....that's considered sport for her:scared1:

Hope King Charming has a great Father's Day. Geodoc had to work today:sad2:

Hypermommy knows how cruel you are to your own children, so you really think she's going to side with you on this one. We have proof, Titanic, need I say more??

See this year you won't be able to torment my sweet little Jas cause you'll already be home - bit I, on the other hand have 11 days with yours:eek:

[purplepeg]

So I had full intentions of getting up this morning and getting a whole bunch of work done.....it's two hours later and I'm still reading all my subscribed thread updates and still in my pj's:scared1: It's been an insanely busy week so the thought of staying here with my computer is so tempting. I am currently typing with one finger because mini Montana just asked me to remove her bandaid from her knee and it was very traumatic for both of us:sad2: We tried waving a magic wand to remove it but that didn't work and then she said "maybe we should say please" but it STILL didn't work so we had to resort to distraction (Site Life of Zach and Cody is on) and a warp speed pull:rolleyes1

We had Snow White's kid party for her birthday on Friday night and she had such a great time. Of course that was after an afternoon spent outside at school dancing. She was twirling around and then twisted her ankle so we had drama as well as dancing. Doesn't she end up getting a sport wrap in flashy pink from Claire's from one of her friends as a gift?:lmao: She's been milking it for all it's worth! The dance afternoon is an annual thing and Mini Montana has as much fun as anyone there. It was so hot but so many mom's brought freezies and popsicles they were definitely hydrated or at least sugar loaded:woohoo:
Mini Montana had her stay and play for Kindergarten:scared1: on Friday morning. It is going to be a sad, sad day for her mommy in September:sad2:
As Queen mentioned we had our Father's day celebration yesterday here. We had a brunch and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The four of us went to see our local baseball team win a game last night. It was a very exciting game.
This week is the last piano lesson(party really), and last soccer for Mini Montana and practices for Snow White. It's also last week of school (except that they have to go next Monday is their last day.) Mini Montana finished preschool this past week. I cried, her teacher was amazing, we'll miss her.
I'm still trying to put summer clothes away. I believe summer finally arrived this past week. I didn't have to wear my winter coat to soccer this week and was swarmed with mosquitos on Thursday:eek:

I put up the countdown calendar yesterday. Mini Montana helped me glue. They were very excited to mark a day off. They like to do it first thing in the morning. I need to update the packing lists, start buying some supplies, and work on that Garden Grocer order. I also want to print out the daily park index cards and review what we want to do each day. We'll have to pull names again for order of rides each day. We usually let one child (and Jasmine is included in this group) pick the first ride of the day and then we start our day in that area of the park and go from there. There may be some coaxing if we need to to make our plans work. We all write down our must do rides and then the "gravy" rides. Sometims we get everyting done, sometimes not. We are pretty "go with the flow" people but need an outline before we go so we don't waste time anywhere arguing about who gets to go where and when. I find our children do better if they know what to expect and there are less tears. There is also the threat of no pool time if there is unacceptable behaviour occuring:woohoo::woohoo:It doesn't always work but every little bit helps. I don't want our holiday ruined by whining and arguing and that's just Queen:lmao:

[Charleston Princess]

Hi! Your trip sounds like it is going to be A LOT of fun!!! The exchanges between all of you are cracking me up!

[Disney Brat]

Sounds like everything is falling into place! :goodvibes We too have had a busy week, and it seems to continue into next week as well. I love the warp speed pulls of bandaids too! lol :rotfl:They work great for DD!! It sure has seemed like summer here finally!! :cheer2:Sunblock out and almost used a tube so far...lol I think we went from winter right through to summer! I have a question for you guys.:worship:..I haven't gone to WDW in the summer with a child, only with DH and me. So I was wondering how your kids take it? DD5 (will be turning 6 there) just gets kinda tired here from the heat. But I think she has a great tolerance to the heat/humidity. We have the misting fans, and I am pretty sure we are going to head back for a swim/rest in the afternoons. Is that what you do with your guys?? Do you have any other tips for us?? Plus the hat question...DD hates hats, at best she may wear a bucket hat for a bit, is that a huge issue that she wears one?? She never really wears one here at all. She prefers to have her hair done with bows etc....lol She does wear sunglasses though. Thanks so much!

[Queenofallthings]

Yeah for Summer:goodvibes Jasmine, Thomas and I spent yesterday at Brenda's pool, it was absolutely gorgeous, I think it got to 30 degrees:banana:

WDW with small children in the summer.....it's fun!!! We take the afternoon break everyday no exceptions. It's far too warm and sticky not too...by 1230 everyday we were headed back to the hotel, swim, have a rest/nap...shower change out for dinner and some rides after dinner. It is not like going in Nov/Dec where you can stay all day, but I personally like summer better. It forces you to take a break and actually relax:yay: I tended to be one of those park commandos....things have changed:lmao Never mind Mini Montana having a meltdown...Queen could easily have one if she didn't get her pool time:rolleyes1 See Peg, I can admit it.....

We only took misting fans to the park once, found them a pain to carry around but that's just us:confused3 I found going into rides/shows to cool down worked well for us.

Ahhhh, the hat issue. Between Peg's kiddies and mine, we've never had an issue with hats....Are you bringing/renting a stroller? We found that so helpful, when Mini Montana was tired she had the option to sit.

Hope this helps, I'm sure Peg will have a few opinions of her own.....:love:

Are you guys starting to get sper excited??? Before we leave we will have to pick a day to meet for our cocktail:worship:

[lisalonglash]

OK, I think I can post again on the DISboards (knock on wood!).

Sorry, HyperMommy, I call it BBQing too :lmao: I'm mighty good at it too, if I do say so myself :laughing:

Sorry about the bandaid pull - quicker is better, no matter how you look at it! Poor little MM though :sad1: I hope SW's ankle is feeling better - no fun hobbling around, especially during the summer! :eek:

Oh, as for the flights, Gravol works wonderfully, in my experience. Makes sleeping onboard a whole lot easier :thumbsup2

Yay for a countdown calendar! Love to see a picture of it :upsidedow

My boys do better with some idea of what to expect too - especially Tigger. No schedule at all equals definite trouble here!

I've been thinking about the misting fans too - would they fit into our various park bags? I have a Heys Travelmate and both boys have fanny packs. I also have no clue where to even get a misting fan :rotfl:

Wearing hats hasn't been an issue here either - wearing hats in the sun is nearly as non-negotiable as wearing a helmet when riding anything with wheels here. Perhaps a hat with a fun strap would help make wearing a hat more pleasant for your dd, DisneyBrat? Now, sunglasses I have a tough time getting my boys to keep those on - dunno why :confused3

As for your awesomely low ticker countdown, I just have one thing to say:
:dancer::dancer::dancer:

[purplepeg]

Hi! Your trip sounds like it is going to be A LOT of fun!!! The exchanges between all of you are cracking me up!

Oh I am so glad you have wandered over here:worship::worship:You have an amazing group of followers on your tr so I am thrilled you have posted. Yeah we're a fun bunch too. I'm the most fun no matter what else you may hear/read. Hoping to pick up some tips about AKL from you. Did your kids do the kids club or any of the kid activities at AKL?

I am thrilled that summer has finally arrived :banana::banana:
Ah yes the heat and humidity question. I was obsessed last summer, I thought we were going to melt(particularly me):lmao:We brought spray fans but as Queen said they are heavy and we really didn't use them. We didn't put them in our bags because they leaked a bit. I didn't want to leave them in the stroller in case someone stole them. After a day or two we left them in the hotel. We did do the early morning and made sure to drink lots of water. Mini Montana is great about drinking water but Snow not so much. I bought the fancy bottle topper with straws because I thought that would encourage water drinking. Well, the water then tasted funny, kind of like the plastic of the straw even after I washed it, and then if the bottle wasn't empty it would leak when it fell over. I believe those ended up in the garbage:scared1: The hat thing, Mini Montana gets hot in her hats and doesn't enjoy wearing them when she's hot. half the time they were off because of rides. I think when we were walking from one place to another we had them wear the hats, otherwise they were off. The ride waiting areas are usually sheltered and often air conditioned so that helps, I put them in board shorts and rash guards so they could dry quickly if they got wet on Kali River or Splash etc. We did try and stay in the parks later a couple of days and it really didn't pay. By noon we were so done with the heat we would have lunch at the resort and then hit the pool even if it was only for 30 min and then A/C rest in our room. Back for dinner in the eve. It's still hot but the sun sets early so you don't have that to add to the heat. Drink lots, do long A/C rides for breaks as well as pm breaks and have fun!

As for your awesomely low ticker countdown, I just have one thing to say:
:dancer::dancer::dancer:


Did I miss something? Why couldn't you post? I have to post the countdown calendar. School is almost finished. Snow goes on Monday:scared1:can you believe that? That's her last day. I'm pretty sure there won't be very many kids there. We're heading to Fargo for some mother/daughter bonding time with instructions to her that she's not allowed to let me buy her anymore clothes! I finally put away all her summer clothes and she has plenty. I was so worried about the heat last year in Disney I bought so many tanks and shorts for them.
I never put the spray fans in our bags because of leaks. We really found them heavy and cumbersome.

PS Don't tell Hypermommy but I'm good at BBQ-ing too and it's not grilling:rolleyes1

[Charleston Princess]

:welcome: We do enjoy ourselves, we are easily entertained!

I hope you will stay along with us for this wild and crazy ride:lmao:

Oh, I am staying -- don't you worry! :laughing:

Oh I am so glad you have wandered over here:worship::worship:You have an amazing group of followers on your tr so I am thrilled you have posted. Yeah we're a fun bunch too. I'm the most fun no matter what else you may hear/read. Hoping to pick up some tips about AKL from you. Did your kids do the kids club or any of the kid activities at AKL?

See, I am already laughing again! :lmao:

We did do a couple of the kids' activities and one of them actually took place in the kids club -- I was very impressed with the set-up!

[Queenofallthings]

OK, I think I can post again on the DISboards (knock on wood!).

Sorry, HyperMommy, I call it BBQing too :lmao: I'm mighty good at it too, if I do say so myself :laughing:

Sorry about the bandaid pull - quicker is better, no matter how you look at it! Poor little MM though :sad1: I hope SW's ankle is feeling better - no fun hobbling around, especially during the summer! :eek:

Oh, as for the flights, Gravol works wonderfully, in my experience. Makes sleeping onboard a whole lot easier :thumbsup2

Yay for a countdown calendar! Love to see a picture of it :upsidedow

My boys do better with some idea of what to expect too - especially Tigger. No schedule at all equals definite trouble here!

I've been thinking about the misting fans too - would they fit into our various park bags? I have a Heys Travelmate and both boys have fanny packs. I also have no clue where to even get a misting fan :rotfl:

Wearing hats hasn't been an issue here either - wearing hats in the sun is nearly as non-negotiable as wearing a helmet when riding anything with wheels here. Perhaps a hat with a fun strap would help make wearing a hat more pleasant for your dd, DisneyBrat? Now, sunglasses I have a tough time getting my boys to keep those on - dunno why :confused3

As for your awesomely low ticker countdown, I just have one thing to say:
:dancer::dancer::dancer:

I was having trouble posting too yesterday, but it eventually worked...maybe a few choice words at the laptop worked for me:rolleyes1

I am so doing gravol this year....last year was not pretty...makes me gag just to think about it:sick: It was so much easier when I travelled on my own and could have a gravol, a double southern comfort and 7-up...slept like a baby from Toronto to Scotland....now people expect me to be responsible:lmao:

I think we're down to six or seven weeks....you would think I would know this wouldn't you:dance3:

[Queenofallthings]

Oh, I am staying -- don't you worry! :laughing:

See, I am already laughing again! :lmao:

Yeah, we're going to have so much fun.....Taunting Peg and her children is sport for me....you'll see in upcoming posts. I think MM is coming to stay with her auntie while her mommy abondons....whoops....goes on a holiday without her;)




Jasmine's too old to go to kids clubs now.....she is with me all time.....asking for money:rolleyes1

[Disney Brat]

Queen, Peg, and Lisa...TY so much for all of your tips!!!:worship: It really helps, as DD has never been in the heat, and it was in 2001 when DH and I were there in June, so we definatly needed a refresher! DH and I have been talking about renting a car, we are going to try and get to Universal and Sea World, also he wants to go to the beach! Sounds like we had better start some planning too!!! Well off to enjoy the dry but windy day!!

[purplepeg]

Glad to help DisneyBrat.
We got to sit outside and watch a soccer playoff game yesterday:scared1:I don't think we got that wet in Tropical Storm Faye;)Then we were supposed to go to a Goldeyes game last night, yep cancelled. Honestly, I know we needed some rain, som being the key word. We didn't need a months worth of rain in two days.:sad2:

[Shir Kahn]

And it's still raining! :sad2:

It wouldn't be so bad if it was like the warm rain you get in Florida, but this stuff is miserable! Oh well, in a few more days it won't matter! :goodvibes

So it sounds like your trip is coming along nicely. The way our trip has been expanding, we might still be there when you arrive! :rotfl:

[Hypermommy]

Ahem, I am sure you meant to add "meet BOTH of you" right:confused3..... Hope King Charming has a great Father's Day. Geodoc had to work today:sad2:

Absolutely I meant "meet BOTH of you"! I figured me meeting you was a given since it's you I "met" first on here. Yeah, that's the ticket. Now wait just a minute while I get this foot out of my mouth.

We have proof, Titanic, need I say more??

:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2::r otfl2::rotfl2:

PS Don't tell Hypermommy but I'm good at BBQ-ing too and it's not grilling:rolleyes1

Okay, we gotta get this thing cleared up right here and now. BBQ involves mucho amounts of time (hours and hours) of slow cooking, usually some rubs (we won't even talk about how much fun it is to rub the spices into the raw meat) and several layers of BBQ sauce (mustard based, of course!). So now y'all tell me exactly how it is that y'all make BBQ.

Taunting Peg and her children is sport for me....you'll see in upcoming posts. I think MM is coming to stay with her auntie while her mommy abondons....whoops....goes on a holiday without her;)

Jasmine's too old to go to kids clubs now.....she is with me all time.....asking for money:rolleyes1

LOL and you do it QUITE well!!! It is soooooo much fun to watch someone else for whom kids are just entertaining little people to taunt and tease. Of course I do the same with mine!

Asking for money... ain't that the truth. Too bad there's not some way we could have raised these kids into teenagers without them knowing what money is all about, ain't it?

[PrincessCaitlin]

Hi Queen and PurplePeg!

Your families are beautiful!!
I am so glad I finally found your tr!
The plans sound awesome and your going to a lot of restaurants that I haven't been to so I am excited to see how they are!
Can't wait to read more!

[Diamondintheruff]

How exciting for Peg to go on a Holiday without the kids. It's nice to get away every once in a while. That's sweet of you to look after them. I suggest saving the torturing until close to the end of the trip so that Peg and Geodec can deal with the fallout instead of you.

Oh you are so funny....no I'm not going alone, I'm taking Snow White with me. Just a girls trip. I did it at the end of school last year because I made her do extra homework all year to try and improve her grades so it was a reward. This year she asked because "I want to spend some alone time with you" :love:Well how can you say no to that:confused3

I believe in Canada BBQ is a verb as in we BBQ our food and the grills are called bbq's so that's what I'm sticking with. I understand the whole hours and hours and rubs etc.

Have you decided if you can, in fact, meet us? If I cross my fingers will that help?

Happy Canada Day!!!!!:flower3:

We are off the our friends for a wonderful day by the pool, ordering in KFC for dinner (yum) and generally enjoying each others company!!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful, safe and enjoyable Canada Day

[Disney Brat]

Happy Canada Day to you too! We are all really sick, so we are stuck inside on this lovely day!! We may go drive to the Forks and park and watch the fireworks from the car, if we are feeling up to it! Enjoy your day everyone!!

Oh no, that's awful. :sick: Hope you are all up and about soon.

[purplepeg]

Sorry to hear you are all sick Disneybrat. That's no fun.

Snow White and I returned last evening from our girls time away in Fargo. For some reason this trip I really noticed the Fargo accent.. I don't know how many other times I've been there but this is the first time I noticed. We had a lovely time. Shopping, eating, pool time and I got to read some of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I wanted to re-read it since it's coming out soon. The Canadian dollar not being at par any more really cuts the shopping budget. That and Jasmine's boyfriend wanted some cologne from Abercrombie at $50 US! I seriously need to look at bifocals or progressives because I had my contacts in that day and had to get Snow White to read the price tag..I could only only see some blurry black stuff on the bottom of the box:scared1: I hate to get old....er. Snow White took some really great pictures when we were away. We will have to post them on here. She had lots of fun in the pool.

[Disney Brat]

The Fargo trip sounds like fun!! DH said that he would like to head down the weekend of the 18th, so I am looking forward to that! Can't wait to see some of your pics from Fargo!!

[Queenofallthings]

Oh Peg you are funny!! First off, Jas is thrilled you got that cologne for Thomas....he now smells like her favorite store...and secondly, Thomas is thrilled....Jasmines snuggles with him all the time....ALL THE TIME:lmao: He said Ìt`s like a love potion....to be young and in love:lovestruc

As far as Peg`s budget, she really doesn`t have one!! Actually, when Jas and I go to the states shopping, neither do we:lmao: We get that glazed-over-eye-look.....you know the one:laughing:

[Diamondintheruff]

Unfortunately for Dh I am very familiar with that look.

[Queenofallthings]

Unfortunately for Dh I am very familiar with that look.

See, I knew you would know the look....let DH know how lucky he is that we all live far away, imagine if we all lived in the same town, we could have girl weekends.....he is having heart palpitations now isnt he:lmao:

[Diamondintheruff]

Should you or your clan happen to decend upon Toronto or even Ottawa you must PM me. I will gladly pop over to see you and perhaps we can all practise the look together.

By the way I get the same look in my eye when I'm faced with a desert buffet. Have you checked out the new fireworks desert package at MK?

The possibility of us being in Toronto just may happen, we have family there! It would be wrong not to practice the look;)

I have checked it out and I think I gained 5 pounds:lmao:

[Queenofallthings]

Whew, it's been a few days since either Peg or I have posted....how odd is that, we usually have something to say:lmao:

Firstly.....WE LEAVE ONE MONTH TODAY:cool1: This time next month we will be boarding out flight in Toronto....Jasmine will probably be crying and I'll be wondering if they'll give me a cocktail when I get on the plane:lmao:

Got my cast off on Monday:cool1::cool1::cool1:only to find out once they xrayed that yup,,,,still broken.:confused3 Anyhoodle, he didn't put another one on as he said he was leary of immobilizing it again and to just try and exercise it to strengthen the muscles again....ok!!! I was just happy to have use of both hands again. But, loser that I am, smashed it as I was getting into the car....a few tears may have escaped my eyes:sad1: Oh well, he told me no strenuous activity....I'm a mom, what is he thinking:confused3 I got back on the 28th for another xray, but no matter what, I am not going to WDW with a cast on my hand, I'll just suck it up:rolleyes1

So spent yesterday morning at Purplepegs going over our Garden Grocer list, took us a LONG time to do this. Oh well, one more thing to stroke off our lists. Speaking of lists, I really need to get the binder out today or tomorrow and see what I have left.

Oh I have some sad news....my friend and her daughter have cancelled their trip with us:sad1: B's mom is now in pallative care and we're not sure how long she has, it wasn't a hard decision to make....there will be other trips in our future I'm sure. I do want to re-look at the schedule we had done for the 4 of us as I may make some changes. Jas and I are taking the 21 and 22 as pool rest days after Peg and her family go home, as the 22nd was when they were to arrive. We also had a pool day scheduled our last week so I think we might do Blizzard Beach instead.....I'll wait until Jasmine gets out of bed and run this:idea:by her

I think that's about it for now.......

Thanks for all the good vibes:hug: I totally agree about the last month flying by, then the last 2 or 3 days we're running around like chickens with our heads cut off:scared1:

Peg was going to have Geodoc give the GG list a looksy over before we sent it in, I haven't heard from her today so I'm hoping it was all good:thumbsup2

I have definitely made up my mind that we're doing BB, I think on the 21st, I don't know how crazy it would be on a Saturday, so I think for sure the Friday.

Have a great weekend too, we'll chat soon;)

[purplepeg]

Boy we haven't been here for a while! had a great time in Fargo, I have to upload the pictures from Snow's camera. Today we were at Tinkertown(local small amusement park) with some friends and had a great time. Parking lot was packed but no real lineups. It was cool and being a Friday I think most people were headed to the lake. Score for us. 4 hrs later we headed home. I'll see if I have any pictures of the kids alone because we went with friends and I'm not sure she would enjoy her children on the net! The new Ferris Wheel is up and running and it;s not my favourite ride since I'm afarid of heights:scared1: I had to go on because Mini Montana is not tall enough. We were on for a long time:scared1:Anyway, also went to pediatrician today for annual weights and heights and Mini Montana needed her TWO before Kindergarten shots:scared1:How well did you think that went:confused3She actually did pretty well, I always explain to my kids about them before and she knew but seemed to have forgotten. As we left the playground this morning I mentioned that she was going to get two shots. She started crying and I in my infinite mother wisdom says there is nothing to cry about now, you can cry when you get them IF they hurt but no screaming! She did really well. Tinkertown afterwards certainly helped:banana:
Did we mention we all went to the Jonas Bros. concert here last week? It was lots of fun, MIni Montana was more excited thatn anyone. I forgot to bring a camera but Jasmin actually got up close and personal when the boys came out sign autographs:banana:I'll have to get some on here for you guys. I am really feeling the crunch now, I have to get my park cards done, the binder organized (everything is in a folder), update the packing lists, send in the Garden Grocer order, hopefully we didn't order too much:)
Queen is worried about our luggage getting lost moving resorts but I pm'd two people and they said it went very smoothly. Why pay for a cab when that money could be put toward a tropical alcoholic beverage:confused3 We have a baseball game (as spectators) this weekend but I'm hoping to find some time to update with pictures to tide you over:woohoo::yay:

[Queenofallthings]

Ahhh Peg, what I don't do for you....

Here are some pics from Jasmine's close encouter with the Jonas Bros. She called me from her cell and I thought she was being mugged...lots of screaming. All I could think of is I've left my baby in downtown Winnipeg to fend for herself.....nope....just 2 feet from the Jonas Bros is all:lmao:

I didn't think you would need captions.....I also don't want to bore you with too many, she did take 200 pictures:scared1: Sure takes you back to your first concert though:yay: She spent $40 on a shirt:mad:but it was her own money so what could I say:confused3

Now back to the matter at hand....our trip to the WORLD!!!! I am so uneasy about that luggage transfer from SSR to AKL:scared: I hope Peg fully understands if anything goes wrong I will torment her over it:lmao:

We decided that Jasmine and I are going to send our beach towels and bathing suits with Peg so when we arrive we don't need to wait for our luggage or load down our carry-ons, we can just go to the room, change and swim;)

Jasmine works today at 2 so I am hoping to get the binder together, index cards finished and finalize the packing lists, I'm sure there is stuff I still need to buy but can't for the life of me think what that is right now:rotfl2:

[Charleston Princess]

My daughter would have died from happiness on the spot!!! What a great experience for Jasmine! :goodvibes

I don't think you need to worry too much about the luggage transfer -- from what I understand it goes pretty smoothly (of course those could be my famous last words -- I am knocking on wood as I type this :laughing:).

Yeah, I know....I'll say it was your fault if the luggage transfer doesn't go well:rotfl2:I did ask Timandlesley and dddisrunner and they both said it went very smooth so we'll go with positive vibes and it'll be fine:woohoo:

[purplepeg]

I thought I would post some assorted pictures of some things we've done lately. Hope you enjoy them! Snow White took all these pictures, I think she did a magnificant job!

s a tur day night!

[Queenofallthings]

Wow Jasmine's pictures of the Jo Bros are amazing :lovestruc:thumbsup2

I agree!!! I took her camera over to my girlfriend's the other night there as they were at the concert too but forgot their camera. Her little girl is 9 and I wish you could have seen the look on her face when she saw how close Jas was:rotfl2:

BTW, your new addition is the cutest thing I have ever seen, Jasmine was oohing ans awwhiing when I showed her;)

[Queenofallthings]

s a tur day night!

LOL, the only difference is, our parents couldn't afford to send us to a concert, we had to stay up and watch them on the Midnight Special, and even then only if the wind was in the right direction could we pick it up on the atennae.:lmao:

[Disney Brat]

Great pics!! That hotel looks like tons of fun! Which one is it?? We usually stay at the Holiday Inn in Fargo, DD loves the pirate ship, but I think she would love that place! The concert looked great!! I am glad that she got so close to them, that must have just made her soooo happy!!

I'll let Peg answer on the hotel.....I believe it was across the road from IHOP, but not 100% sure.

Jasmine had so much fun, she keeps saying Have you seen the close up of my husband....and Thomas keeps saying thanks alot.....then Jas says, no no he`s my husband and your my boyfriend:lmao: 16,,,,such a great age:scared1:

[purplepeg]

Great pictures! I love the one with the ducks crossing the road! Looks like you all have been having lots of fun!

We have been having lots of fun! Those were our resident Canada Geese and they are everywhere! They nest and have tons of babies and then in the fall you see thousands of them in the sky getting ready to fly away. It's really quite a sight!

s a tur day night!

OMG we were at a baseball game last eve and they were playing that song while the pitcher was warming up:woohoo:I was singing my heart out and telling my girls that was my favourite boy band growing up!

LOL, the only difference is, our parents couldn't afford to send us to a concert, we had to stay up and watch them on the Midnight Special, and even then only if the wind was in the right direction could we pick it up on the atennae.:lmao:


So true!, I remembr listening to the radio the night they were in Wpg wishing we were there:love:
Never saw them in concert either but I did have them on a K-tel 8track. :rotfl:

Oh we had every record and one you could only get in Scotland! Our parent's families still live in Scotland so that was just the best. I mean they could have been kin:rotfl2:

It was so much fun. It's called the Best Western Kelly Inn and Suites and is almost right across the street from IHOP. They has free WiFi and free continental bfast with waffles for CAA rate of $94 per night, may have been $97, can't remember exactly!:rotfl2: We also usually stay at the Holiday Inn for the same reason:)

[purplepeg]

Ok, tonight we were over at my parents for dinner and we ended up in the basement looking at our ancient toys and games they still have and Geodoc was looking at the LP's. Yes, you read that right LP's. He saw one of the Bay City Rollers albums so here it is to bring back memories for all of us!:cool1:
Derek was my favourite in case anyone is interested:laughing: I also found my Donny Osmond Superstar album:love:oh how I loved him! Where do you think my love for all things purple came from:rotfl2:

DANCE PARTY....MOM AND DAD'S BASEMENT....EMBARASS THE GIRLS....doesn't that sound like fun:cool1:

[Queenofallthings]

Got up bright and early this morning to rain.....I have to say I was a little excited, then I can sit on the boards for as long as I want and not feel guilt;)

I just finished looking at my list of stuff I still need to buy.....so I will be running to Walmart at some point today, or maybe tomorrow morning before my doctor's appt....we'll see. The list is longer than I thought it would be. Apparently not as organized as I like to think I am. :rotfl2:

I added clorox wipes....I thought in light of the H1N1, wouldn't hurt to wipe down the rooms when we get there......a little OCD maybe, but I'm ok with that. :rolleyes1 I also need to pick up small pringles, granola bars, gum, mascara, polusporin, new battery for the camera (goodness these little puppies ain`t cheap), a new memory card and refills on our meds which I ordered Saturday for pick up today. I thought about other snacks but when we went with Brenda and her family 2 years ago, we took a ton for around the pool....never opened one. With the DDP, I never feel like I need a snack, except I do enjoy a granola bar in the morning with my coffee. Speaking of coffee, because we're in DVC the first 11 days, we're bringing our Tim Horton's to make in the room. I read somewhere that the mugs are really small.....gee....I may have to go shopping when I get there to buy a new glass mug:rolleyes1

Jasmine is going to get all our hair products when she's a work today.....gotta love the discount:hug: Maybe I'll be a nice sister and check and see if Peg needs anything;)

I want to get this done today or tomorrow because Thursday morning I have to have surgery on my mouth.....no snide comments please, I`m not getting my jaw wired shut or anything:lmao: 5 years ago my dentist was doing a root canal and broke three instruments in the root:eek:not fun. This will be my second surgery to see if they can get the final 2 out. Last time, he could only get one, but they seemed to have moved a little so here`s hoping. Not gonna lie, it`s not fun, but Ì don`t want this little problem to rear it`s ugly head when I`m in disney on my eating mission:yay:

Hope everyone is doing well.......

[PrincessCaitlin]

The clorox wipes are a good idea! My mom brought them on our last trip and when she wiped down the seatbelt for my dad on the plane it was really dirty :scared:

Good luck with the oral surgery! I hate going to the dentist :scared:

[Disney Brat]

I totally understand the wipes, we too will be bringing some! Queen-thinking of you today with your surgery! I hope it all goes well, and they get out those pesky roots!!! I truly hate dental work! I had my first cavaty when I was preggo with DD, and they wamted to try filling it, but it was too deep, so I had a root canal that also never worked and had to have it pulled! Not a good experience for your first cavaty!!! Especially with limited pain meds!!

Peg- thanks of the hotel info! We were going to head down this weekend, but the neighbour across the street invited DD to Tinkertown with them for their DD's bday. Needless to say we will have to go another weekend to that hotel!!

I bought them yesterday:cool1: I actually ended up with the Lysol ones as the clorox they only had in a huge container. I never thought of wiping down the seatbeat or arm rests on the plane....when I'm doing it I'll be thinking of you!! Thanks for the good wishes, Jasmine is going to get up and drive me, they tell me it will take 2 hours, I haven't hold her that part:confused3

Yeah for wipes!!!!:cool1: I too hate the dentist, but if you ever have to go to an endodontist PM me, this man is amazing. :love:He is so caring about how you have anxiety towards it, I love him:hug:

Ahhhh Tinkertown.....Peg used to take Jasmine when she was little while I was at work. It really is wonderful that we have it, so much cheaper than the Ex.....lucked out this year, Jasmine had to pay for the Ex out of her own money, so she decided not to go:banana:

[lisalonglash]

Your shopping sounds fun! I'll be doing that soon :woohoo: I like the idea of the Clorox wipes - I may add that to our list.

OK, your dentist left pieces of dental instruments in your gums?!?!?! :scared1: BIG hugs to you today, Queen, for him to get the other two pieces so you can be done with it! :hug::grouphug:

Thank you my friend:hug: Yes he did, three files broke inside the root when he was doing a root canal.....he hasn't done another one on me:eek: It was a success, took longer than he initially thought by about a half an hour, but to be honest, I didn't care. I didn't care how much discomfort I was in, I just wanted to make sure they were out. He was able to get both out....I am thrilled considering this is the third try since it happened in 2001. I go back on Monday to get the stitches out, so all should be good.:cool1:

Reading that second sentence seriously made me :scared1: again! I'm so glad he managed to fix his mistake and get them out, but I'm so sorry that you had to endure yet more pain :sad2::hug:

Oh, and I've heard many great things about Grey Goose slushies and Grand Marnier slushes - that's on my list for this trip :banana:

I actually haven't let that guy come near me again, I went to an endodontist who has been wonderful and finally had success this time getting the final two out....thank the lord. I want my mouth in fine eating order by Aug 10!!!!:laughing: I was going to say my mouth in fine working order, but Peg would have had a smart comment to that....she would have been correct....but a smart comment none the less:rotfl2::rolleyes1

Hi there! Just wanted you to know I'm back! (yes, you may all run screaming to the other side of the forums now). Gotta run off and get some work done but couldn't go without popping in and seeing my fave people!!!

WE'VE MISSED YOU!!! So glad everything went well with your baby sister:hug: So glad you're back, but I'm guessing with that unexpected trip, the chances of you meeting us are pretty slim:sad1:

Can you believe three weeks today Jasmine and I will be half way to Orlando!!!!!

[purplepeg]

Thought I would pop in and say hi. Glad to see you back Hypermommy:woohoo:Hope all is well with sister:goodvibes
I printed out my index cards and packing lists this morning, found the ponchos, and water shoes and somehow ended up on here while I was eating my lunch! The girls are in camp this week so I have the days to myself to get organized and do the last minute shopping and some pre packing so I'm not running around like a chicken with my head cut off the week before.

Does anyone else get sad when going through their index cards and get misty eyed when they see the last day plans and we haven't even left yet:confused3:rotfl2:

So things to buy:
new runners for me
new crocs for Snow White
maybe new water shoes for Mini Montana (she has to try on the other ones first)
some surprises for the girls, maybe for the plane
hanger dryer thingy for bathing suits at the dollar store
and that's all I can think of right now.

Have a great day all!

[Charleston Princess]

Hi, Purplepeg!!! How nice to have a quiet week! Enjoy the solitude! :thumbsup2

I always get sad when thinking about the last day! :(

[purplepeg]

Hi, Purplepeg!!! How nice to have a quiet week! Enjoy the solitude! :thumbsup2

I always get sad when thinking about the last day! :(

I'm glad to hear someone else gets sad too;) I am enjoying the eerie silence without them. I haven't even turned on the radio or anything:happytv:I'm just all alone with happy Disney thoughts in my head:woohoo: The kids are exhausted because not only do they have camp from 9-4 which is all activities and walking to and from places, they have hour long swimming lessons from 7-8 every night this week. Needless to say they are crashing as soon as that head hits the pillow and so is their mom! Maybe they'll sleep in on Saturday:rotfl2:

[Queenofallthings]

Another update from our house.....;) Jasmine and I spent yesterday shopping for the trip....someone has wanted Lululemon pants for quite some time and her mean mother wouldn't buy them for her cause I don't pay $98 for a pair for me so why on earth would I spend that on my 16 year old:lmao: Anyhoodle, now that my little darling has a job, she decided she would splurge and she bought herself a pair yesterday, along with a jacket and headband (this is her plane outfit:cool1:) for a cool$230....I almost fell over!!! She also bought a new bikini, flip flops, and 2 new MAC eye shadows.:rolleyes1 What, you ask, did I get.....nothing!!! I really don't need anything, I want lots, but don't need anything:rotfl2: When we were done making a huge dent in Jas' wallet at the mall we called Peg to see if she wanted to meet us for lunch so off we went. She came prepared with her Disneybinder, such a good Diser!!! We had some discrepancies in two of our ADR's so we connected this morning and sure enough the 2 I booked we had better times so Peg went ahead and cancelled her two:confused3

The most exciting news of all though......the suitcases are out, opened on the spare room bed, and they actually have stuff in them:cool1: I packed everything I could.....toiletries, bathing suits, cover ups, shoes, dresses for Jas, shoe organizer, etc. I have a little moment everytime I walk by and see them:cloud9:

Jas is off to work today so I decided I should call and make our appts (Peg's family and us) for the private photo session. We decided on AKL as it would be easiest as that's where we're staying:thumbsup2 I had the most wonderful cast member....the magic began this morning:wizard: I was booking a half hour session for Peg's family and a half hour session for our family....he asked if he could make a suggestion and of course I said YES:yay: He explained because Peg is a DVC owner that she gets 20% off which brings the CD to $79.95....for an extra $25 you can add on more time and then we could all be together paying $100 instead of $200 for 2 separate bookings. He was wonderful.....I jumped at it, we figured then we can get some pictures of all of us together too, will make a wonderful gift for our parents for Christmas:grouphug:

Jasmine's boyfriend has volunteered to take us to the airport on departure day:banana: I really didn't want to ask him considering we need to leave the house at 3:45am. :eek: I heard him say to Jasmine the other day there "What am I going to do without you for 3 weeks:sad1: Ahhh to be young and in love:love: The one good thing is we are only a 10 minute drive to the airport and at the time of the morning, no traffic:woohoo Our return flight gets in around 11pm so not too bad for pick up either

I think that's it for updates from here.....if I think of anything else though, I'll pop back on:flower3:

[declansdad]

You go shopping and buy nothing but I get made fun of for my shopping excursions. Life aint fair.:rotfl2:

[lisalonglash]

Peg:
I'm jealous of your peace and quiet :lmao: I must admit I also get a little misty when I'm planning the last day :sad1:

Queen:
Yes, the prices at Lululemon are insane! My dh is a yoga dude and has a couple pairs of those ridiculously pricey pants :sad2: Me, the odd time I do yoga, I wear whatever shorts are clean LOL Woohooo for being able to start packing! :woohoo: I'm glad the CM was able to save you some moolah - of course, the moolah you saved will be spent at WDW anyway, so it's a wash, right? :rotfl2: It's nice of Jasmine's boyfriend to offer to give you a ride to the airport - sounds like a good dude :goodvibes

Sounds like you may have consumed some of these.....have you had both the grey goose and the grand marnier?? I'm interested to have an idea what they taste like....not that it matters, trust me, I'll still be trying a few:lmao:

I love Grey Gooses!!! LOL Never had the Grand Marnier ones though...had a bad experience with that when I had just turned 18....lol;):rotfl:

Thought I would pop in and say hi. Glad to see you back Hypermommy Hope all is well with sister:goodvibes
I printed out my index cards and packing lists this morning, found the ponchos, and water shoes and somehow ended up on here while I was eating my lunch! The girls are in camp this week so I have the days to myself to get organized and do the last minute shopping and some pre packing so I'm not running around like a chicken with my head cut off the week before.

Does anyone else get sad when going through their index cards and get misty eyed when they see the last day plans and we haven't even left yet

So things to buy:
new runners for me
new crocs for Snow White
maybe new water shoes for Mini Montana (she has to try on the other ones first)
some surprises for the girls, maybe for the plane
hanger dryer thingy for bathing suits at the dollar store
and that's all I can think of right now.

Have a great day all!
Hi Peg!! Sounds like some fun shopping times ahead of you!! I hope you can enjoy your quiet time!!!:goodvibes

Another update from our house.....;) Jasmine and I spent yesterday shopping for the trip....someone has wanted Lululemon pants for quite some time and her mean mother wouldn't buy them for her cause I don't pay $98 for a pair for me so why on earth would I spend that on my 16 year old:lmao: Anyhoodle, now that my little darling has a job, she decided she would splurge and she bought herself a pair yesterday, along with a jacket and headband (this is her plane outfit for a cool$230....I almost fell over!!! She also bought a new bikini, flip flops, and 2 new MAC eye shadows.:rolleyes1 What, you ask, did I get.....nothing!!! I really don't need anything, I want lots, but don't need anything When we were done making a huge dent in Jas' wallet at the mall we called Peg to see if she wanted to meet us for lunch so off we went. She came prepared with her Disneybinder, such a good Diser!!! We had some discrepancies in two of our ADR's so we connected this morning and sure enough the 2 I booked we had better times so Peg went ahead and cancelled her two

The most exciting news of all though......the suitcases are out, opened on the spare room bed, and they actually have stuff in them I packed everything I could.....toiletries, bathing suits, cover ups, shoes, dresses for Jas, shoe organizer, etc. I have a little moment everytime I walk by and see them

Jas is off to work today so I decided I should call and make our appts (Peg's family and us) for the private photo session. We decided on AKL as it would be easiest as that's where we're staying I had the most wonderful cast member....the magic began this morning I was booking a half hour session for Peg's family and a half hour session for our family....he asked if he could make a suggestion and of course I said YES He explained because Peg is a DVC owner that she gets 20% off which brings the CD to $79.95....for an extra $25 you can add on more time and then we could all be together paying $100 instead of $200 for 2 separate bookings. He was wonderful.....I jumped at it, we figured then we can get some pictures of all of us together too, will make a wonderful gift for our parents for Christmas

Jasmine's boyfriend has volunteered to take us to the airport on departure day:banana: I really didn't want to ask him considering we need to leave the house at 3:45am. I heard him say to Jasmine the other day there "What am I going to do without you for 3 weeks Ahhh to be young and in love The one good thing is we are only a 10 minute drive to the airport and at the time of the morning, no traffic Our return flight gets in around 11pm so not too bad for pick up either

I think that's it for updates from here.....if I think of anything else though, I'll pop back on

We were shopping at a certain mall yesterday too!! LOL Although I didn't luck out like Jasmine did!!! Those are some expensive clothes in that store!! Glad to hear all your ressies are sorted out. I think the photo session sounds so nice!! I would love to do that one time as well, the pics always are so beautiful!! It was nice of Jasmines BF to drive you guys, we too have a very early am flight 5am Air Canada:eek: No one wants to drive us, so we are taking a cab!!:rotfl2: At least we will be arriving in Orlando at noonish:cloud9: How is your tooth feeling Queen?? I hope it is healing nicely for you!!:hug:

[Queenofallthings]

You go shopping and buy nothing but I get made fun of for my shopping excursions. Life aint fair.:rotfl2:

It really isn't, I was going to have a cocktail at lunch to make up for it but Jasmine decided there wastoo much construction around the restaurant so she didn't want to drive home.....nice:confused3

Peg:
I'm jealous of your peace and quiet :lmao: I must admit I also get a little misty when I'm planning the last day :sad1:

Queen:
Yes, the prices at Lululemon are insane! My dh is a yoga dude and has a couple pairs of those ridiculously pricey pants :sad2: Me, the odd time I do yoga, I wear whatever shorts are clean LOL Woohooo for being able to start packing! :woohoo: I'm glad the CM was able to save you some moolah - of course, the moolah you saved will be spent at WDW anyway, so it's a wash, right? :rotfl2: It's nice of Jasmine's boyfriend to offer to give you a ride to the airport - sounds like a good dude :goodvibes

Girl, you know me too well....of course I'll be spending that money at my happy place.....I also will be spending the limo money I no longer need as Thomas is driving us....hmmm where else can I find more $$$$:lmao: Thomas is a wonderful young man....Jas is a lucky girl!!:love:

I love Grey Gooses!!! LOL Never had the Grand Marnier ones though...had a bad experience with that when I had just turned 18....lol;):rotfl:

Oh your experience was grand marnier....mine tequila:sick: I now have to have my paralyzer's with vodka:laughing:

Too funny we were at the same mall, probably walked right by each other:) I am so excited about the photo session, I figure for what I spend on pics at Sears, this is no more expensive.

Have you looked into a town car or limo, Peg found it cheaper to go with them depending on how far away you are from the airport. There using London Limos.

The tooth is amazing...got my stitches out on Monday and he said I can see you've been doing your homework....healing beautifully.....thanks for asking:hug:

We really need to figure out a time and place for us to meet you guys...it will only be Jas and I though as Peg and her family will be at home already when you arrive:rolleyes1

[purplepeg]

Well I spent today cancelling ressie's and talking on the phone. Booked the kids into kids clubs twice. I hope they enjoy them! It took quite a bit of time and then phoned member services to check on the size of the coffee pot (priorities you know). The cast member reviewed what was in the kitchen and she's reading out "mixing bowls, measuring cups and spoons, cookie sheets," then she stopped and said "what are they thinking, you're on holidays!?" I laughed so hard:rotfl2:I was thinking exactly the same thing! I also found out we have to be on the dining plan for the entire stay including the two days Jasmine and Queen won't be there:scared1:So to rectify that problem I booked us breakfast at 1900 Park Fare on the Sunday morning after we arrive.:yay:We didn't have any character meals booked this trip so that will be great and Yachtsman on Sunday eve takes two credits each. I was worrying about trying to use all the credits we inherited and Geodoc says "how much is the dining plan per day?" It comes out to $102 per day. He kindly pointed out we can't have a meal for the 4 of us for that much so stop worrying! How great is he:love: I think secretly he's just happy I don't involve him too much in the planning, he just likes to show up and say "ok, what are we doing today?" He just bonds with his gps and ipod touch and he's a happy camper:yay:

Oh and big news today.....Mini Montana can float all by herself:cheer2:woohoo::woohoo:::woohoo: Snow White's front crawl technique is really great too! What a difference a year makes.

[purplepeg]

Oh I forgot to mention I bought myself a pair of runners and there was a sticker that said I could get $20 off any item in the store, so I found Snow White a pair of crocs on sale for $24.99, so let's do the math...that's $4.99 for a pair of crocs! I was happy.

Hi Peg! The kids clubs look like tons of fun, we were thinking of putting DD in Simbas Clubhouse this trip. She is really into Simba and all things lion king right now! How crazy is all the baking stuff!!:confused3 At least you will be prepared should the urge to bake some cookies arises!:rotfl: Yay for Mini Montana and Snow White!! What a great accoplishment!:goodvibes

Oh I forgot to mention I bought myself a pair of runners and there was a sticker that said I could get $20 off any item in the store, so I found Snow White a pair of crocs on sale for $24.99, so let's do the math...that's $4.99 for a pair of crocs! I was happy.

Oh but I won't be there to save Mini Montana from Lady Tremaine....I'll have to have a chat with her before you guys leave....I still remember her little hand reaching out to hold mine and saying "She's coming auntie, are you ready?" I just looked into her beautiful little eyes and said don't worry angel, I'm way meaner and she was so happy:confused3 I'm thinkin a slam against auntie, but whatever, my girl was put at ease.

My little MM can float:sad2: I think Jas and I will come to swimming lessons tonight, camera in hand.....I love the way that little face looks in her googles:cloud9: Snow is doing so awesome, they remind me of us when we were little, couldn't keep us out of the pool.:yay:

How do you get $102 a day on the dining plan, isn't it $39.99 per day:lmao: Even when I do mental math (some think I am mental) that's $80:rotfl2: Ok, my work here is clearly done...movin on:hug: Just so you don't get mad Peg

Oh I forgot to mention I bought myself a pair of runners and there was a sticker that said I could get $20 off any item in the store, so I found Snow White a pair of crocs on sale for $24.99, so let's do the math...that's $4.99 for a pair of crocs! I was happy.

You gonna have enough time to break those in?? Good lord woman, nothing like leaving it to the last minute. :woohoo::woohoo: Seriously, $5 for Crocs, it doesn't get any better than that:rolleyes1

[QUOTE=Disney Brat;32836040]Hi Queen! I am so glad to hear the tooth is doing so well!! Thanks for the tip of the town car/limo thing....going in style! I will PM you our ressies and stuff and see if we can arrange a time to meet up!:yay:

I don't want to jinx anything but it really is healing nicely....probably the antibiotics are helping though:lmao:

Glad to help. Last year Peg booked a limo..it went and picked them up, then swung by our place picked us up and then to the airport for $65....it would cost most than that for a cab from Peg's....they didn't even charge extra for the extra stop!!!

Will patiently await your PM....I will do whatever I can to meet even if it's only for a little while, would be so nice to connect down there:thumbsup2

[Queenofallthings]

Wow, I can't believe Peg, Geodoc and the girls take off 2 weeks tomorrow:goodvibes I dropped Jasmine off at work this morning and headed over to Peg's just for a quick visit.

Yesterday Jasmine received her work schedule for the next 2 weeks and she only has next Thurs and Fri off and the following week only Thurs off:lmao: I actually wasn't laughing as I was writing it on the calendar and I realized her hair, manicure and pedicure appointments were all scheduled and now she was working:confused3 So we got on the phone and had to do some rearranging which isn't always easy.

Her hairdresser is an absolute doll and told her she would stay one evening and do her hair as she knew we were going on vacation....whew....one done two to go. She was able to get a pedicure where we normally go but no go on the manicure, so she's trying a place about a block from where we go. Hey, whatever works. She really wasn't concerned about the manicure only the pedicure and her hair. She gets bad ingrown toe nails so a pedicure is not a luxury for her:eek:

My appts are all still okie dokie:cloud9:

Other than those few changes, nothing new around here......

[Queenofallthings]

Latest updates from our house....Jasmine started getting sick on Thursday evening, just a cold, woke up yesterday and she sounded horrid. She jumped in the shower as she had to work at 930, we stopped at Tim's to get her some bottled peach juice (she hates drinking water so I figured any liquids besides an iced capp would be good) and she was off. I picked her up at 130 and she sounded a little better...even mentioned that she thought I might be right about the more you drink when your sick the better you feel:rolleyes:All I said is "better now than in 2 weeks when you have to get on a plane". Nothing like a head cold on a plane:sick:

I have been looking over our schedule now since Brenda and Kayla aren't joining us. We had booked Planet Hollywood and a few other ressies to places they have never been, so I am seriously considering if we should keep these or do some of our favs for a second time:confused3

I am also considering doing a Signature Dining Experience....either Citricos or Jiko's.....tried California Grill....no good, seems to be booked solid which I am not surprised at.

Jas works today at 2 so I think I might run into a few of the ladies stores and see if they have any good deals on end of season stuff. Don't really need anything, but a deal is a deal.

[purplepeg]

I'm a little behind in my posting.
Queen's getting awfully mouthy on here lately isn't she:scared1: The dining plan costs US $102 a day and we're eating your $80 a day times two!:confused3
Both the girls passed their swimming:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:
They were so happy:banana:Never did see hide nor hair of Queen at the pool. Missing out on her only neices swimming lessons:sad2: Luckily she has two more weeks to check in. I signed them up for another block of lessons.
We leave two weeks today!:dance3::yay::woohoo:The kids and Geodoc and I did sleep in today, actually Snow White has not awoken from her princess sleep yet:eek:
So two weeks today we'll be doing the following......enjoy!

Ok, the picture of me in the kitchen at SSR....what's up with the back of my hair....did I just roll out of bed that morning and forget to brush the back:lmao: Thanks so much for posting such an attractive pic, Peg:thumbsup2

[suzcruz]

Hi Queen, longtime lurker and admirer of your and your sister's reports. re california grill, i really wanted to try it when there in june but could not get a reservation. the conceirge advised me to take a reservation for the bar and it ended up being perfect. the bar is directly adjacent to the restaurant, had a number of families sitting there, and we had a window seat that had IMO a better view of the fireworks (which were at 9 or 10, check on this) than any of the restaurant seats, so consider doing this if you want to try CG!

PS the fireworks were spectacular and they dimmed the lights and piped the music in!

Well I am so glad you decided to join us.....WELCOME!!!!

You will never guess what happened this morning....I got an ADR at California Grill for our last night there:woohoo: I almost cried I was so happy, I can't wait to see Wishes from there:cloud9:

We usually spend our last evening in the MK and cry our eyes out when we leave, I can't imagine what it's going to be like up there;)

We were going to go to Raglan Road on the 21st, but I cancelled that and made an ADR at T-Rex and will just pay OOP for that one so then I'll have enough credits to pay for CG

Can you tell how excited I am:woohoo::lmao:

[purplepeg]

:welcome:suzcruz:welcome:So glad you came out of lurkdom:cheer2:It's nice to know there are other people reading.

We went to the beach today and actually had a 31 degree C day here.:cool1: I think it's our first for the summer:sad2::sad2:That is so sad. We are going to melt in Orlando, we have had no real hot days and only a couple of days with moderate humidity. Oh well, at least we'll get summer there, unless there is a repeat of last year with a tropical storm:headache: Lets not go down that road:headache:. Even with two applications of sunscreen Snow White got a bit burnt and Mini Montana just got browner. Mini Montana has Geodoc's skin and Snow Has mine....burns just thinking about the sun:beach:

So Queen's friend is coming to help me start packing tomorrow. Apparently I need the help according to Queen because of my back(chronic back pain that seems to be much worse these last 6 months). I think it's just her control issues:rotfl2:

I pulled out 6 dresses for each girl and I have all the other things like some snacks, toiletries, extra hangers all ready. We'll see what we get done:woohoo: The girls think they're helping when they pull out all the things they want to take that we really don't need to take.:rolleyes1

Wish me luck tomorrow with Queen and her friend...I may have to hurt one or both of them if they aren't nice to me and try to take over:rolleyes1:rotfl2:

[Queenofallthings]

Well now Peg only has one of us to deal with....I picked up a nasty cold....sore throat, congested head...overall gross:sick: I called her a few minutes ago along with Brenda and told them they're on their own today. Jasmine was sick a couple of days ago, but strickly a head cold no sore throat, however Thomas came over night before last and announced he had a sore throat....I may have to hurt that boy;) He texted Jas last night and said he was in bed all day.....I hope I have caught mine early enough.....

Good luck today Peg, B can be a little bossy when it comes to packing:worship: Just let her do her thing and when she leaves change what you don't like:lmao:Don't tell her I said that:thumbsup2

[suzcruz]

Queen, congrats on CG reservation, what time is it for? I hope everyone is getting their colds out of the way now so you will all be healthy by your trip, feel better soon!

[Queenofallthings]

Thanks Suz:hug: I still can't believe our luck:banana: I haven't told Jasmine yet and don't think I'm going to, I told her I booked us into Jiko:lmao: Our time is 830pm, so I figure we can stretch that until Wishes starts, what do you think?:confused3

Thanks for the good wishes, when I talked to Peg this morning I said better now than in 2 weeks!!! I had so much I wanted to do today...after Peg's I was going to drop off 3 pairs of short for alterations (I lost some weight from last year so things are a little big, not that I'm complaining) pick up dry cleaning, get some groceries, take Jasmine to work....instead I'm doing nothing but sitting on the boards:lmao:

[suzcruz]

i think 830 pm is a great time, the pace is leisurely there and you can stretch it out if needed!

[Disney Brat]

Hi guys!! Sorry I was MIA over the weekend, but things just seem to be getting busier and busier!! Loved seeing the pics Peg, the DVC looks super!:goodvibes I hope your packing goes well today!

Sorry to hear about the colds Queen!! They sure seem to be making their rounds this summer!! Glad to hear that Jasmines apts got straigtened out for you guys! I hope you have a speedy recovery. Congrats on getting CG! What a great way to end the vacay :cloud9:

[Queenofallthings]

Oh that's so good to hear, I hate being rushed, I love to just sit, relax and enjoy!!

I can totally relate to getting busier and busier...it just kinda sneaks up on us doesn't it:lmao::lmao: Isn't SSR beautiful, I really have to remind myself that we aren't staying at ASMu the whole time, that we are so fortunate to be able to experience 3 different resorts....we're lucky people;)

I just checked in with peg and brenda and things are going well. :) I could hear MM in the background yappy to brenda, she does like to help. I went back to bed this morning cause I felt so lousy, got up around 11, jumped in the shower and I feel semi-human now:confused3

Thanks, I am super excited about CG! Got your PM, so now I'm off to get my Disneybinder:lmao:and I'll send you a pm with our schedule, I know we can figure something out....can't wait to finally meet!!!

[MEK]

I can tell I am going to love your PTR just by reading the first page. Your DD16 looks just like the kind of girl my DS16 looks for when he hangs out at the pool at Disney. He would say, "She's really hot, mom".

I am so happy you're here:cool1:

Ahh yes, I do know all about checking people out at the Disney pool:banana: Two years ago when we were there with my girlfriend and her family, the 2 girls were oogling this young man who was probably 18 or 19, so Brenda and I put the zoom on the cameras and took pics for them....for 2.5 seconds we were the coolest moms ever.

I can't wait for you to read the whole report I sure hope you enjoy it. I bought a neat little coiled notepad that will fit in my backpack so i can keep good notes while we're there!!!

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

Sorry I'm late but I'm in too!!!!

I love all the pictures. I can't wait to see all the pictures!!!! Will you be posting in WDW or will we all have to suffer for 3 weeks until you all return?!

[Queenofallthings]

:welcome:Sorry I'm late but I'm in too!!!!

I love all the pictures. I can't wait to see all the pictures!!!! Will you be posting in WDW or will we all have to suffer for 3 weeks until you all return?!

:welcome: so wonderful to have you along!! So happy you're enjoying the report so far....we are getting so excited as I'm sure you can imagine.

I believe Geodoc is bringing his laptop....I think it's wrong not to at least check in while we're there:rolleyes1 I was thinking about it today....Peg will be home on the 21st so I'm sure she'll start reporting as soon as she's home and then once Jas and I are home, I'll tell you what really went on:lmao:

I told Jasmine that she needs to keep me focused with my note taking on our last 9 days.....

[Queenofallthings]

So had my follow up on my hand today....can you believe it....still broken:sick: He squeezed it again and I said well it doesn't hurt if you don't do that:lmao: He told me to continue to be careful cause I told him, there is no way I'm wearing a cast in WDW:banana:

Took 3 pairs of shorts that I love to be altered today, to have them altered is more than I paid for them, but I love them and don't have time to shop now:rotfl:who am I kidding, always time to shop, but I'd rather spend my money in WDW.:cool1:

Stopped in at Wal-mart, needed polysporin, kleenex and dish soap. I do believe other than my memory card for the camera, I am all done shopping:thumbsup2 I went over my list twice today and I'm pretty sure we're good to go. I will take some pictures tomorrow of the suitcases on the bed...then it seems real to me.

On a very sad note, my BFF, Brenda lost her mom today. She called last night to tell me it wasn't going to be long and she passed away at 330 this afternoon. As long as she's not suffering anymore....but so sad. :angel:

[Charleston Princess]

I can't believe your hand is still broken!!! :eek: Take good care of it at WDW!

Hurray for your shopping being so near completion!!! :banana:

I am so sorry to hear about your friend's mother. :hug:

We went to the beach today and actually had a 31 degree C day here.:cool1: I think it's our first for the summer:sad2::sad2:That is so sad. We are going to melt in Orlando, we have had no real hot days and only a couple of days with moderate humidity. Oh well, at least we'll get summer there, unless there is a repeat of last year with a tropical storm:headache: Lets not go down that road:headache:. Even with two applications of sunscreen Snow White got a bit burnt and Mini Montana just got browner. Mini Montana has Geodoc's skin and Snow Has mine....burns just thinking about the sun:beach:

Holy hannah, it's been steamin' hot here! I think today's high was 31C - when hardly anyone even has home air-conditioning, that is STINKIN' hot! According to our thermometer, it is currently 32C in our house :scared:

I'm sorry that Snow White got a sunburn - no fun! :sad2:

So Queen's friend is coming to help me start packing tomorrow. Apparently I need the help according to Queen because of my back(chronic back pain that seems to be much worse these last 6 months). I think it's just her control issues:rotfl2:

Aww, it's sweet how you two take care of each other :hug:

I pulled out 6 dresses for each girl and I have all the other things like some snacks, toiletries, extra hangers all ready. We'll see what we get done:woohoo: The girls think they're helping when they pull out all the things they want to take that we really don't need to take.:rolleyes1

Oh yes, I'm familiar with that kind of "helping" :lmao: It sounds like you have everything under control, not that I'm surprised! :thumbsup2

Wish me luck tomorrow with Queen and her friend...I may have to hurt one or both of them if they aren't nice to me and try to take over:rolleyes1:rotfl2:

I hope you didn't have to hurt her :laughing:

[Queenofallthings]

I can't believe it either....must be an age thing:lmao: As long as I can hang on to the handles on RnRC, I'll be fine:thumbsup2

I thought about stopping at Best Buy after I dropped Jasmine off at work this afternoon....and that's all that happened....I thought about it and forgot about it until I was halfway home:rotfl:

Thanks for your kind words:hug:

:hug: Aww, Queen, no fair on that! :sad2:



I know it! :lmao:



Can't wait to see the suitcase pictures! :thumbsup2



So sorry for your friend and for you :hug::sad1:

I haven't had 2 minutes to take those pictures today, my girlfriend was in town from Edmonton on business so she called this morning and stayed until about 230....now I'm waiting for Brenda and Eric to pop in. I told Brenda I would come to her place today once they got home from making all the arrangements, but she said she needed a change of scenery, so they're on their way here. Thank you for your concern.....she is my very best friend and it's so hard when you have to see someone you care about suffer so:hug:

[purplepeg]

I can tell I am going to love your PTR just by reading the first page. Your DD16 looks just like the kind of girl my DS16 looks for when he hangs out at the pool at Disney. He would say, "She's really hot, mom".

:yay:So glad you are here for the ride:yay:

Sorry I'm late but I'm in too!!!!

I love all the pictures. I can't wait to see all the pictures!!!! Will you be posting in WDW or will we all have to suffer for 3 weeks until you all return?!

:banana:Welcome, Welcome:banana:So glad you are here and posting! I believe we are taking a laptop with us so I'm sure I'll post a couple of times but not a full report until we get home. I had high hopes of doing a live trip report last year a was too busy/tired:rotfl2:Imangine being tired and busy in Disney:rolleyes1

Holy hannah, it's been steamin' hot here! I think today's high was 31C - when hardly anyone even has home air-conditioning, that is STINKIN' hot! According to our thermometer, it is currently 32C in our house :scared:

I've been following your weather:eek:I used to live in Surrey a long time ago and worked at the Royal Columbian. I remember being shocked that no one had A/C but then I realized it was always cool at night. I'm guessing that's not happening this year:confused3Stay cool:cool1:if you can.

I didn't have to hurt Brenda, she was fabulous and we got a lot packed. We had a great time while doing it too.

[purplepeg]

Well I have sad news too to report...I have been following a blog about a little boy who had a wish trip that started on here. He's from a town near here. He was 3 years old and died yesterday:littleangel:
He was born with not much chance and defied the odds again and again. They had several close calls already this year and then they were in Sick Kids in Toronto for 42 days getting different things sorted out/surgeries done. They had just gotten home and had about a week at a cabin and had to take him to Children's and he just didn't respond to the treatments for two days. I was reading his blog yesterday and when I saw a post labelled "wings" my heart leapt into my throat:sad1: He had such a cute smile.
Last year I followed a blog of a friend of a friend's little boy who had cancer and died when he was one year old.:sad1:

It just brings all the important things in your life to the forefront.

Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer but I was so sad and just didn't even feel like getting out of bed today and then thought "I have two beautiful girls, a fabulous husband, great parents and mother-in-law, wonderful neice, good friends and a sister who's a pain the a**:rolleyes1aww but I love her" I can give my wonderful girls a big hug this morning and be happy I get to share my life with them and they sure do brighten up my life:love:

I was getting really stressed about this trip and all I have left to do, which I don't believe is alot but we've been busy. Yesterday was eye doctor...I have finally relented and accepted the limitations of my age and ordered progressive lenses:scared1:I used to make fun of people who needed longer arms to see:rotfl2:
Today is dentist for the kids and we are doing swimming lessons every night.
The girls are doing really well in their lessons. Snow White is learning how to dive as part of this group of lessons too, last lessons it was knealing dives, now we've moved to standing dives. Queen would have a hoot watching her...that was something I never mastered (queen of the belly flop here) She is doing better than I did but it sure brings back memories:rolleyes1

I've noticed we haven't posted many pictures here recently so I better get on the pictures of the tornado that is my living room right now with suitcases everywhere:scared1:

[Queenofallthings]

First things first......single digit dance for Peg and family:cool1::cool1:

I promised pictures of the suitcases and here they are....with a few more thrown in for good measure....I'm an over-achiever, what can I say:thumbsup2

Minnie, Jas and myself outside Emporium in far corner almost at Fire Hall
http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss349/Queenofallthings/033-2.jpg
Cinderella and Jasmine at CRT, she kissed her and left lipstick and Jasmine wouldn't let me wash her face....so cute:cutie:

Those last few aren't the greatest, these are the pictures that greet me every morning when I walk out of my bedroom, they are along the hallway wall and I love to look back. We have pics there from every year we've been, it's what helps me get up and go to work everyday;)

Not much else to report right now, I'm taking Mini Montana to her swimming lessons tonight, should be a hoot, have I mentioned I could just eat her up she's so darn cute. :cutie:

Jasmine is starting to fret a little about the plane.....good lord it gets earlier every year, I swear:eek: We were out shopping the other day there and we didn't have time to go home and make anything before Jas had to go to work so we went out for lunch. We no sooner sat down and she said I don't have a good feeling about the plane this year (and this is different from any other year I'm thinging:sad2:) but I say "Really, well let's talk about that":rolleyes1 I tried to say it without sounding sarcastic, not sure if I pulled it off. I said "You were fine last year and she said well that's cause Auntie threaten me if I scared the girls (she does have a point there) she would hurt me:rotfl2:

I guess my point is my last, what, 10 days is going to he H - E - double hockey sticks....I see it all now. I asked her if she thought sleeping the night before would help instead of staying awake all night and getting over tired....nope. Why do I try, nothing I say ever works so I'm saying nothing, just think of my next Monday morning at 6am CST as we're hurling down the runway....I guarantee you she'll be crying and I'll be saying, "Why don't they serve alcohol this early on a flight:confused3

[Queenofallthings]

That's so sad....I can't imagine what the parents must go through losing a child, scares me so much just thinking about it.....they will be in our prayers:angel:

Why am I the last person you mention when talking about important people in your life:confused3 Nice comments for everyone but me, I just don't understand this, have I not always been a wonderful, thoughtful, caring, loving sister;)

You stress yourself out every year and every year it all comes together....RELAX....you know I'll help boss you....errr....get you organized if you need the help:rotfl2: Brenda stopped in yesterday after they were at the funeral home and she said by next week she'll probably need some packing therapy, so don't stress too much. I didn't have the heart to tell her I have all my stuff done and ready to pack. If she wants to do it, I'll throw it into a pile and she can start fresh....what I don't do for people I love:hug:

[Queenofallthings]

8 days until we leave, I can't believe it! I dropped Jasmine off at work yesterday just before 10 and decided I would drive to Peg's end of town to pick up my shorts I had in for alterations. They were actually supposed to be ready on Fri evening but they had called and asked if I could pick them up on Saturday morning, yup no prob:thumbsup2

So off I go, get there just before 10, go in, they can't find my shorts:scared1: my heart was in my throat. I don't know about anywhere else in the country but finding summer stuff right now here is not easy, all the fall/winter stuff is in:confused: She calls the owner and he said, they won't be there until 1130am and that they told me that when they called:headache: Well, if they told me that, I wouldn't have been there at 10. Now normally, I would just have driven the 2 minutes to Peg's and had coffee with her, but she was working. Arghhhhh. I went across the way to some of the box stores and ended up finding Jasmine some black shorts she wanted, 2 tank tops (the way these kids layer you can never have too many tanks) then I went into Reitman's and found 4 really nice button up sleeveless shirts that were regular $36 on for 11.99..:woohoo:I also found a jean skort and jean capri's.

I headed home to put away all my purchases and to kill some more time until my shorts would be delivered to the store.....oh well, went back and at least they were there.

Jasmine works today at 2 and I have to drive right by Best Buy to get home, so I will stop and buy my new memory card today, then my shopping is complete!!!!

This week is going to be a little crazy....Tuesday I actually have nothing on, Wed I have a doctor's appt, then my BF mom's funeral, Thurs another doctors appt then take Jasmine to get her hair cut and hi-lighted, Friday pick Jasmine up from work and take her to get her manicure and pedicure then on Saturday morning my manicure and pedicure. Sunday will be stictly packing, everything is ironed and waiting so it's the last thing I will have to do.

Geez, makes me tired just thinking of everything. I will have to check in with Peg later today and see how her week is shaping up;)

Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend!!!!

[Hypermommy]

Hi y'all.... I know it's been forever and a day since I've been on here. I could blame it on the project but it's probably more Facebook than anything. But I couldn't let another day pass without stopping by and saying hi.


Ahh yes, I do know all about checking people out at the Disney pool:banana:

I think that's the thing that KC liked the best when we stayed at the All Stars one year and they had the cheerleading girls staying there too. He said several times that he enjoyed the "theming" of the pool. :rotfl2::rotfl2:

So had my follow up on my hand today....can you believe it....still broken

Leave it to you to do something doofy like break your hand right before the trip. :rotfl:

Sorry to hear about your friend.

Well I have sad news too to report...I have been following a blog about a little boy who had a wish trip that started on here. He's from a town near here. He was 3 years old and died yesterday:littleangel:

Sad as I am to hear this, I'm glad you mentioned it. It's good for us to remember, among all the hustle and bustle of planning, what the truly important things in life are. Thanks!

Well, I'd best get back to the project. I'm actually having a productive day. But I jsut had to stop in and say hi.

[Queenofallthings]

Hi y'all.... I know it's been forever and a day since I've been on here. I could blame it on the project but it's probably more Facebook than anything. But I couldn't let another day pass without stopping by and saying hi.

So funny you mention facebook....Peg and I were just talking about you the other day there and saying "Wonder how come Hypermommy hasn't been on the boards lately....cause we both know you're on Facebook all the time:lmao: We're glad you posted, you have been missed girl:worship:

I think that's the thing that KC liked the best when we stayed at the All Stars one year and they had the cheerleading girls staying there too. He said several times that he enjoyed the "theming" of the pool. :rotfl2::rotfl2:

Ahhh yes, I can only imagine;) Our luck most of the time is the men in speedos and frankly, no one needs to be seein that:rotfl: Jasmine had a few she was checking out last year, but god forbid we should actually speak to anyone....how that girl ever got a boyfriend is beyond me.:confused:


Leave it to you to do something doofy like break your hand right before the trip. :rotfl:

Well it has been 2 months since I broke it....see, you've been away far too long:rolleyes1

Sorry to hear about your friend.

Thank you:hug:

You hit the nail on the head....we run around and take so much for granted. I actually went and read their whole report yesterday as Jas was at work and I sat in the chair and cried my eyes out....so thankful for everything I have in my life.
Glad you're having a productive day....keep in touch...we really do miss you....and I'm not even being sarcastic....I know, I hope you were sitting down for that one:cool2:

:hippie::hippie::hippie::hippie::hippie::hippie:


I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I do feel the same about y'all though. It's funny..... I was trying to explain to my mom while I was up there about how I'd made some really good friends that live in Canada. I told her y'all were coming down and how I was dying to go to WDW for lunch one day so I could meet you. (which, by the way, unless I win lotto I don't think I can do). Anyway... she knows that things are tight financially and wonders why y'all couldn't come here. I told her well, they are actually going the longer distance!!!!!! :rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

I guess I should really hand it to mom though.... 86 years old and is on email and looking things up online. Although it did take forEHver for her to understand that she could check her email from down here.... it's not like it's sitting in a mailbox on her computer at the house. LOL

Okay, back to work for me... but I have missed y'all greatly too!!!!!

[purplepeg]

Oh Hypermommy I have missed you:hug:However where did the real witty comment Hypermommy go, don't be so nice..you scare me when that happens:lmao::rotfl2::lmao::rotfl2::lmao::rotfl2:: lmao::rotfl2::lmao::rotfl2:
We totally understand about not being able to see us, we're just glad your sister is ok:banana:It's funny, I was talking to someone who works with children and was talking about our dismeet we're going to have with declansdad and how nice they seem and how excited we are and she replied yeah...just like the kids think the predators online are really nice too:scared1:Whoa, makes you stop and think...no offense declansdad:laughing:

The girls and I had our pedicures done so I really do have to post pics of our toes and suitcases. Put in our Garden Grocer order and booked my massage at SS:yay: Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend:woohoo:

[Hypermommy]

Oh Hypermommy I have missed you:hug:However where did the real witty comment Hypermommy go, don't be so nice..you scare me when that happens

Well, I let that side of me show every now and again so people don't get totally turned off. You know, not everyone is as appreciative of my b with an itchy side as y'all are. :lmao::rotfl2::lmao::rotfl2:

We totally understand about not being able to see us, we're just glad your sister is ok:banana:It's funny, I was talking to someone who works with children and was talking about our dismeet we're going to have with declansdad and how nice they seem and how excited we are and she replied yeah...just like the kids think the predators online are really nice too:scared1:Whoa, makes you stop and think...no offense declansdad:laughing:

I figured you'd understand but it still has me totally bummed out! Y'all just make sure you wave when you're flying over North Florida, okay?

And I know what you mean by the predators. But as adults we know the safety rules... you know... meeting somewhere public and all that. Besides, with our grocery bills being what they have been over the past few months, I'd gladly give up one of the eating machines -- maybe even to a predator. Remember I had an heir and a spare for a reason!

Oh, check out this twitpic I posted the other day:

http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitpic/photos/large/21079131.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=0ZRYP5X5F6FSMBCCSE82&Expires=1249293014&Signature=hzKfRTdtR7y1cSgRZKezhBteMV0%3D

The caption on it was "This might hold the eating machines for a week...... maybe." It's really scary how much teenaged boys can eat! :scared1::scared1::scared1:

The girls and I had our pedicures done so I really do have to post pics of our toes and suitcases.

Okay, I know I've been gone a while. And I know folks on the DIS post some really strange stuff (you should see the looks on people's faces when I take pictures of food at restaurants -- guess I'm just too attuned to the DIS). But pictures of toes? Is that a new thing? Maybe we should all post pictures of our toes? But only after one gets a pedicure? Oh, okay... then y'all are safe. I don't do pedicures (too expensive) and can't reach my toes anymore so y'all won't be seeing pics of them.

But I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for pics of your toes. Don't leave me on tenderhooks, girl.... post them toe pics. But watch out... you never know what kind of fetishist predators might be watching! :rotfl2:

[Queenofallthings]

Hypermommy - what in heaven's name are you doing posting at 438am...you need sleep my girl;)

I am totally bummed too that you can't make it down, but if we look on the bright side, Peg and Geodoc are DVC owners so we KNOW there are future trips, I just have to convince them to take me again....I best be on my best behaviour this year or it may not happen.:rotfl2:

I just know in my heart one year we will meet....do you think we could convince Peg to use their points for a girls only cruise????:lmao::lmao::lmao:

[Queenofallthings]

Ventured over to Peg's last evening to pick up our Mickey Mail:cool1: Jasmine and Thomas were out for cruise night (Thomas' older brother let him take his sooped up Cady) so off I went to pick up my own little piece of heaven, visited for a while, Mini Montana is still saying she's gonna sit with me on EE, and I'm doing my best to talk SW into doing RnRC, I'm trying the bribing factor, but still not working:rotfl2:

I asked Snow if she changed her mind yet about staying in Winnipeg until the Monday and flying down with Jasmine and I....I got a resounding NO.....MM would do it in a heartbeat:lovestruc

Got home and just sat and stared at my mail:lovestruc When the kids got home I really wanted them to share in my joy....no....they just make fun of me:confused3 I kept saying do you guys want to see the luggage tags...no, that's ok, we've seen them before....what is up with that???:laughing:

Jasmine and Thomas both work this afternoon so I have high hopes of getting the final packing list of clothes completed. I think it will make it much easier now that everything is hanging and I have a visual of what goes with what...and there will be no one around to make snide comments. :laughing:

Hope all our Canadian friends are enjoying their long weekend....we've had lousy weather but hey, you take what you get right? The summers seem so short here and in Manitoba they are usually amazingly hot and sunny, not so much this year.....that's why we're going to FLORIDA:cloud9: That, and the fact we're addicted to WDW.:rolleyes1

I agree 100%....Peg??? Hello Peg????

Okay, forgive my American ignorance, but what'd y'all get a long weekend for?

Cause we didn't have one in August:lmao: Seriously, it hasn't been in Manitoba for all that long, not sure about the rest of the country, I believe it's a civic holiday, all the stores are open, as a matter of fact, Jas is working:cool1:

OMG!!!!! -50!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't think I could freakin' BREATHE at that temperature!!!!!!!!!!

It's really not enjoyable, we had a Korean exchange student in 2006 from beginning of January until end of February and it never rose above -50 the entire time she was here. Her dad kept calling and asking why I was letting them go to school....I don't ever remember our schools being closed down, not in the city. When it reaches a certain temperature with the wind chill the buses don't run, but children who can walk or drive are expected to be at school. We're a hearty bunch up here:lmao::lmao::lmao:Or stupid for staying

:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

What... me? Sarcastic? Never. Never in all my born days! Just a different form of eloquence, I'd call it.

:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

Eloquence....I like it.....that will be our word of the week. We've about done sarcasm to death:rotfl2::rotfl2::rolleyes1:rolleyes1

When it reaches a certain temperature with the wind chill the buses don't run, but children who can walk or drive are expected to be at school. We're a hearty bunch up here:lmao::lmao::lmao:Or stupid for staying

Yeah, I work at home. Just don't get paid! LOL No seriously, I just truly underbid this project so I'm trying to get the last bit finished so I can get paid and bid on some more work for them. And this time I'm gonna do it right! Which, of course, means they're gonna probably have a cow when they see the price.

So the buses don't run, but they expect teenagers to drive to school? Or, what's the driving age up there? But even so..... WALKING to school when the buses aren't running sounds like a serious recipe for disaster!!

Y'all are inSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess I'll go find the YouTube of the O Canada video so I can see just what kind of nuts I've become friends with!! LOL... now I have visions of you, my darling Queen, in that same outfit Marty's wearing, yelling "sweeeeeeeep!!! sweeeeeep!!!!"

Only in Manitoba does it get that cold. On the east coast it only goes to about -40, but it's a dry cold.:rotfl2:

Love the curling reference by the way.

[Disney Brat]

Hi guys!!! SO sorry to be away so long again!!! All of your final details are looking so great! Loved the pics of the packing Queen!! Can't wait to see pics of your packing and nails Peg!! LOVED the witty comments today...lol you all are a hoot!!

Oh honey, you know we're nuts, come to terms with it, you're stuck with us now. I do have that outfit!!! Actually the last time I curled the skip was yelling sweep and I said "I don't sweep at home why would I sweep here" LOL

We've missed you too!! Thanks, I'm pretty proud of myself to be ready this early. This week is a little crazy, tomorrow I have to go to a rent it store and pick up cups and saucers, drop them off at the church for my BF's mom's funeral on Wed. I have a couple of doctor's appts on Wed and Thurs, Jasmine's hair, manicure, pedicure and my manicure and pedicure. At then end of all that, I have to actually get all those nicely laundered clothes into the suitcases. :worship: Whew, I'm exhausted just thinking about it, but it will help the week go quickly....oh and I think we're doing dinner one evening with Peg and crew before they leave. I guess we are going to be away from each for 2 whole days:hug: I love my sister.

I noticed you sent me a PM, so I'm off to read that and respond. I'm so excited cause I know it's our plans to meet;)

[Hypermommy]

A "dry" cold, huh Declansdad? :rotfl2::rotfl2: Yeah, they talk about that around here when it's hot and muggy... "it wouldn't be so bad if it were dry". It's not the moisture it's the breath-sucking heat or in y'all's case bone-numbing cold!

Oh honey, you know we're nuts, come to terms with it, you're stuck with us now.

And I wouldn't want it any other way.

I do have that outfit!!!

You're really scary... you know that don't you. Brilliant but scary!

Actually the last time I curled the skip was yelling sweep and I said "I don't sweep at home why would I sweep here"

I love it!!!!! Now that's just the kind of response I would expect from my beloved monarch of the universe!!!!!!!!! I just knew you were a girl after my own heart!

Whew!!! Sounds like you have an exhausting week ahead of you. You're gonna need a vacation just so you can rest from getting ready for your vacation. But just think... this time next week (?) you could be sitting at the bar having a nice little drinkipoo and letting all this stress and activity just fade into the background.

Until Peg shows up of course.... then you'll have to try to undo whatever psychological damage she's done to those poor girls. Well... at least you should. But if I know you, you'll just find a way to twist them just a bit further. Might as well.... they have to have something to tell there therapist about later in life. Besides, why on earth did y'all have kids and nieces if not to mess with their minds, right? :rotfl2:

Wow you guys have been busy with the witty comments flying here and there, sorry I missed them:rotfl2:So glad the reAL HYPERMOMMY IS BACK!

[lisalonglash]

Ventured over to Peg's last evening to pick up our Mickey Mail:cool1: Jasmine and Thomas were out for cruise night (Thomas' older brother let him take his sooped up Cady) so off I went to pick up my own little piece of heaven, visited for a while, Mini Montana is still saying she's gonna sit with me on EE, and I'm doing my best to talk SW into doing RnRC, I'm trying the bribing factor, but still not working:rotfl2:

Keep working on her, you never know :laughing:

I asked Snow if she changed her mind yet about staying in Winnipeg until the Monday and flying down with Jasmine and I....I got a resounding NO.....MM would do it in a heartbeat:lovestruc

Huh. I wonder why. :confused3 Well, not really. Much. :rotfl2:

Got home and just sat and stared at my mail:lovestruc When the kids got home I really wanted them to share in my joy....no....they just make fun of me:confused3 I kept saying do you guys want to see the luggage tags...no, that's ok, we've seen them before....what is up with that???:laughing:

Aww, enjoy your luggage tags, Queen - ignore the children :rotfl:

Jasmine and Thomas both work this afternoon so I have high hopes of getting the final packing list of clothes completed. I think it will make it much easier now that everything is hanging and I have a visual of what goes with what...and there will be no one around to make snide comments. :laughing:

Wow, you are so organized! I can't even BEGIN any of the packing until we tell the boys - and that won't be until three weeks before we go LOL

Hope all our Canadian friends are enjoying their long weekend....we've had lousy weather but hey, you take what you get right? The summers seem so short here and in Manitoba they are usually amazingly hot and sunny, not so much this year.....that's why we're going to FLORIDA:cloud9: That, and the fact we're addicted to WDW.:rolleyes1

Thank you, yes, we enjoyed our happy civic holiday LOL Sorry you've had lousy weather, Queen - at least you don't have Toronto's weather like we have had! We had their stupid winter and now we're having their stupid summer - somehow we've switched climates! :headache:

[Diamondintheruff]

The weather has been lousy this year in Toronto. The good part is I have barely had to water the plants, the grass is a gorgeous green and I have yet to put the air conditioner on. Today may change that though. The humidex is rising. Not that it's sunny. It's cloudy and threatening to rain but..

It's getting hot in here.

[Hypermommy]

Wow you guys have been busy with the witty comments flying here and there, sorry I missed them:rotfl2:So glad the reAL HYPERMOMMY IS BACK!

You wanna see my back???????

And I thought you liked me :sad2::sad2::sad2:

/me burying my head back in the project

[Queenofallthings]

Keep working on her, you never know :laughing:

That is so true, I think I may have got her semi-convinced - I told her if she went on I would buy the picture for her



Huh. I wonder why. :confused3 Well, not really. Much. :rotfl2:

:lmao:;)



Aww, enjoy your luggage tags, Queen - ignore the children :rotfl:

THANK YOU - see I knew my Dis friends would appreciate it:hug:



Wow, you are so organized! I can't even BEGIN any of the packing until we tell the boys - and that won't be until three weeks before we go LOL

I do remember the year we didn't tell Jasmine, I had to take the day or two off before we left and it worked perfectly because she decided she wanted to stay at my parents one evening too



Thank you, yes, we enjoyed our happy civic holiday LOL Sorry you've had lousy weather, Queen - at least you don't have Toronto's weather like we have had! We had their stupid winter and now we're having their stupid summer - somehow we've switched climates! :headache:

It's been brutal, today was only 19 degrees...what is up with that??:confused3Are you being affected by the horrible fires? :confused:

ok I thought I'd better post pictures of our toes and luggage as today I'm really feeling the crunch. Tried to get some packing done today but spent a lot of time booking a client to WDW:thumbsup2Then Queen came over and we hashed out what we are each paying for out of the Garden Grocer order. She , of course, came over hungry so I had to feed her too:confused3
We did get a bit of packing done and then the girls had their swimming lessons and then we had a neighbor come over for dinner who is going to look after the house when we're gone. Had to give her all the info and we had a lovely dinner (Queen's chicken marinade):worship:
Yesterday we went to the airport because a 1945 Lancaster Bomber was coming in for a visit. It arrived an hour late but enjoyed a quick peek during a fly by and then when she landed.

Ok here's some pictures.
We'll be leaving on this jetplane on Saturday, well maybe not this exact one but you get the drift!

I never noticed how wrinkled my toes were! Queen doesn't like my color or nail art (by the way)

I have a laundry basket of kids clothes that still needs packing!

[Geodoc]

Just FYI WE are NOT Packing the Crockpot and Telescope!!!
:cool1:

I guess I never realized I haven't posted the countdown calendar.

[Hypermommy]

Ahhhhh, toes.... a beautiful sight to see first thing in the morning. Whew! Glad I got to see 'em. Now my day can actually begin.

Just FYI WE are NOT Packing the Crockpot and Telescope!!!
:cool1:

But I did see the kitchen sink in one of the suitcases, didn't I?

I'm with ya on that one....I'll spare you the agony of looking at mine and Jasmine's when we get them done;)

Oh I'm sure you did see the kitchen sink in there....she's gonna hurt me before they leave, I just know it:confused3

[Queenofallthings]

Peg isn't the only one starting to feel the crunch. I had grand plans yesterday to get some stuff done and I got nothing done, well I shouldn't say that, I did get my kitchen cleaned top to bottom, now I only have the rest of the house to do before we leave:scared1: Yesterday was my day that I had no appointment, no running around, nadda, however, my BF Brenda had called on Monday and asked if I could swing by the U-Rent it store and pick up cups and saucers for the teathey're having after her mom's funeral. The store is only 10 minutes from our house and she lives across town. Jas and her friend Michelle came with me and helped us get the hall set up too....such good girls.

I have done a fine job of cleaning out the fridge, freezer and cupboards before we leave, so much so that I have to go and get some food today:laughing: I figure I'll hit the store on my way home from the doctors, tomorrow another doctors appt for me and Jasmine's hair....Friday Jasmine works then her mani and pedi, then Saturday my mani and pedi, get home, get Jas to work then pack like a crazy woman:eek:

Hey Peg, great pics of the Lancaster bomber....brought back memories for our parents. I didn't go to the airport, see, my house backs onto the airfield so we got to sit in the yard and it did a fly by right over the house:cloud9: My parents said it brought the war years back...they are both from Scotland and remember those bombers flying overhead on their way to bombing missions. My dad said imagine 100 of them flying overhead. My dad said it's funny, they seemed so much bigger when he was a child:rolleyes1

Well friends, I should get my day started here, as much as I could go on and on about our trip, I should actually do something for it.:banana:

[Diamondintheruff]

Thanks for the kind words. The summer is not going as I would have liked. It's not just the weather but the fact that I have been under the weather. Since I've been off my feet for so long everything has backed up and I just don't have the energy to put everything back where it's supposed to go. I'm beginning to understand how those people on the clean-up your house TV shows got to that state. Funny how Dh and the kids don't seem to notice.

But enough of me. On to your trip and packing. Okay I'll back you on needing the teapot, I'm a spot of tea kind of gal too-but not the crockpot. Of course you could leave the teapot at home and buy a new mickey themed one.

I myself, would get another bag of jellybellys and some M&M's. Especially some M&M peanuts. That way I could tell myself I was having some much needed protein at the same time.

I didn't see the enormosity of a medicine bag you must be taking. At least according to the shelves of drugs I saw in your pictures last year.

Plus where is the booze? Is that part of your garden grocer order?

It's funny how it doesn't take long for our houses to get to a state of chaos. Don't fret about it though, it will get done eventually;)

See the M & M's could play double duty....protein and she could kill me if I get on her nerves. We were at a movie one evening and she decided to get reese's pieces...I made some smart comment to her from down the way (there were other people with us) and she said "Be quiet down there or when the lights go out I'm going to through some pieces in your popcorn and you'll never know:eek: She loves me:love:

Oh trust me the medical bag is in there somewhere. I'll make sure there's photos this year too Diamond, don't you worry:woohoo:

PEG....WE FORGOT THE ADULT BEVERAGES.........

[Diamondintheruff]

Must stash this little piece of info away for later. Never know when I may need to blackmail/threaten you.

[MEK]

OMG...Is you trip really only 4 days away! Have a super fabulous time. I am very excited for you! Can't wait for the TR!
