My3princes..........Have you got your 12,000 post celebration ready??

[miss missy]

I think you are too late.....m3princes already claimed it. You will have to duke it out with her.

I not good at conflict... go for it m3princes... I just can't steal!

[itslisa]

Well - my sweet little boy is sick today - you know the kind of fever where you pick them up and you KNOW b/c they are so hot!!


Feel better Nick!

[lmartin2711]

Just 9 more to go.........get ready......we need a few more post so my3princes can claim her milestone

[itslisa]

Kate -
What size are the pages? Did you just slip them in a book when done or did you have the book bound at Staples? I was thinking of doing something like this, but now am leaning more towards making a pillow case out of your Walt Disney World December 2005 with all the characters.
I CAN'T DECIDE!!!! :confused3
or maybe both????


My plan from my last trip ... which I stil haven't done ... was to make a t-shirt or pillowcase with pics of ben with the characters and their autographs. I was going to print them onto iron-on paper ... and make it that way ....

[lmartin2711]

I not good at conflict... go for it m3princes... I just can't steal!
Go ahead and claim 13000.......I will keep an "eye out" for it and remind you when it comes around.

[tmfranlk]

I'll help bump us up with a few get well wishes!

Nick and HunkaHunka - Feel better soon!!!

Rees, Davis and BK - Lots of hugs and pixie dust for tomorrow! I hope that it makes you all feel much better.

Denise - your shirts look great!

[itslisa]

I am having a down day too. My little guy turns two tomorrow and I am sad that I will never have a 2 yr old again. DH says that someday I'll have little grandchildren, but I really love kids when they are little. As they get older they get much more independent and pull away. Ok enough pity party.

Ben - I totally "get it". My little guy is 7.5 ... and I just realized I will never really be able to pick him up and hug and squish him anymore,. (I nearly threw out my back picking him up one day -- he's too big!) And ... we only have one ... I don't know where the time has all gone .......

[lmartin2711]

my3princes........are you ready..........go!!!!

[my3princes]

You guys went faster than I can design. I will have to edit in my design.

Sorry guys, dial up su**s. It took forever to load this

We got post 12000 on page 800 way to go. I am so happy!!!! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

Colby said we need the boingy thing.

Deb

[bethbuchall]

does anyone want to claim 12000??

No, but it looks like it's getting close to time to put in my claim for 12345 again. :rotfl: If I'm around when it's getting close, I'm going to try for it. With my luck, it will be in one of the middle of the night posting frenzies, and I won't even know about it until the next morning.

[lmartin2711]

At least you got the 12,000.......I kept refreshing and was afraid that someone who was behind a few pages was going to post on an earlier message and snag your 12,000
You had me stressing :earseek:

[itslisa]

Oh what joy .... speaking of sick little boys ... my DS just announced that hie puked on the playground today!

Probably was asthma related though -- or he would have been sent home .....

[lmartin2711]

Midnite....you were right we did reach 12,000 post on page # 800.......just by one though

[itslisa]

tink2020 somebody fixed the light bulb in your signature!

I LOVE it!

As I am reading along ... I just realized ... OH NO what if I just posted and stole it from her ... I was reading and getting closer and closer .. and panicking! LOL

Thank goodness I didn't!!!! I would have felt so bad!!!

[my3princes]

Hey -- me too! What year????? I'm the Wolf leader

This year I have wolves and Webelo 1's. Last year I had Tigers and Bears. Last night was Wolves, tonight is Web's. I also place our awards order for the Pack. It's been a busy day.

[lmartin2711]

I am leaving work and heading to church. I will talk to you ya'll later. I will probably not be back on until after 9pm so ya'll don't go on a posting frenzie.

Lynn :flower:

[itslisa]

About the bag for the autograph cards ... my advice would be to use a freezer bag -- not a storage bag. It's a heavier plastic and can take being beat up a little better. And the last thing you want are HOLES when you might be on splash mountain or kali river rapids!

[lmartin2711]

Kate.....let us know how Nick is doing when you get back from the Dr.

[julia & nicks mom]

I would have posted sooner but didn't want to accidentally be 12000

So the doctor told me Nick had one of 3 things - my first choice of the 3 was strep -

the test was negative -

now I am not sure if I want him to have pneumonia or a viral infection:

we are waiting for chest x-ray results and the doc told me she would call later tonight with the results

if he does not have pneumonia - he has a virus that is a very high fever like he has been all day today for about 4 days - he is highly contagious and odds are the rest of the house will all get it before all is said and done

I will let you all know later!!!

LOTS OF HANDWASHING!!!! Hope he feels better soon and you all stay healthy! Take care of yourselves! :grouphug:

[tink2020]

Well, and as Amy said -- it was so true to life!

It drove me nuts though after it was pointed out. :blush:

[itslisa]

Well let us know when you do,

Did the doctor give you any advice for keeping him comfortable in the mean time?

Feel better Nick!!!!!

[itslisa]

Kate .. since I am now on this foolishly misguided path of making a special autograph book. (My DH will soon have my committed!) Do you have any advice?

I'm thinking I can get this accomplished in either MS Word or MS Photodraw.

I saw you used some colored paper along with white. Did any of the printed designs look odd on the colored paper?

Well .... at least this gives me something to do while waiting for my eBay paper to arrive!!!!

[itslisa]

And while I'm on my little postig frenzy here (don't worry - I have to make dinner soon!) ......

What do you guys do about ink for your printers? It has occurred to me that I have never used so much color ink before and I haven't even gotten to printing transfers! LOL

I had tried adding ink to cartridges with my old printer .. .it was a Canon BubbleJet and that project was a disaster!!!!

Currently, I have an HP DeskJet 5150. Anyone have advice on cheap inks or buying refills other than HP cartridges???

[my3princes]

Kate. Get the motrin into him as soon as you can. I'm sure that he will feel a little better when the fever comes down. Sounds like your in for some sleepless nights. Sending Pixie Dust your way. :wizard: :wizard:

Colby says sorry Nick. I hope you feel better soon. :bounce:

Kate

Oh, poor Nick (and poor Kate!). You are in my prayers. Hopefully he'll feel better soon. Let me know if I can do anything. BTW, you can alternate Tylenol and Motrin every 3 hours to keep the fever down and him more comfortable. Ie Tylenol at 3pm, Motrin 6pm, Tylenol 9pm, Motrin 12am, etc. Use the full dose allowed. It keeps fevers under much better control and is an old Peds Nurse trick.

Hugs to you all!

If it helps at all, I have an excel file of character clipart from when I made our books. PM me you email address and I would be happy to email it to you if you want it. The characters are all resized to about 1-2 inches tall.

Target sells refurbished cartridges for cheaper than the HP. For example, my HP 15 and 78 are about $30 for the HP and $22 for the refurbished one. If you have time, you might check out inks123, or something like that, online.

[my3princes]

I'd like to thank all of you that waited for me to post. I promise I will not try for another milestone. I'm happy to have one.

deb

[triplefigs]

Hunka Hunka, hope you feel better soon!

Thanks all for the compliments on the shirts. I just realized I didn't make one for the airplane... any suggestions or ideas of previous designs? I have my Destination Disney, but what for the kids? DH will die if I make more. I'll have to make them when he's at work!

Kids surgery is at 12 noon tomorrow (1st one) and then the other 2 after that. We have to be there at 10:30am

Oh, and after dinner we're decorating the tree! I'm making tacos for dinner first, and then putting on the Christmas music.

[tink2020]

What fun! Now that it's snowing, I've JUST about got everyone convinced to help me soon! :)

[triplefigs]

Jennifer/Moonbeams: YOU FABULOUS WOMAN! Not only did the postcards come today (LOVE the hologram effects) but the kids got a very special care package! They are thrilled to say the least. They've been walking around the house with the gold autograph books pretending the characters are signing them. Too cute!~ Since Kate is making me personalized pages, I'm going to use the books as individual photo albums for the trip. We'll make them when we get home, and they'll have their own souvenir photo book. Thank you so much. You are awesome!!!!!!

[triplefigs]

I am too competitive :rolleyes1

I had to pass her again - plus remember she joined the thread before me and I went on vacation for 10 days!!!!

I will blow past her while she is in WDW!!!!!!

:confused3 :chat: :badpc: :sad:

[KMH1]

Yes, I definitely think of tacos for dinner when I think of trimming the tree! :rotfl2:

Amy :)

[triplefigs]

Denise - your shirts rock!!!!!!!

here's hoping tomorrow is a better day - I will send your autograph pages by the weekend - you should have them by monday or tuesday!!

Thanks, Kate. You are awesome! :cheer2:

[triplefigs]

Yes, I definitely think of tacos for dinner when I think of trimming the tree! :rotfl2:

Amy :)

I know, I know. :rolleyes1 But since the kids are having surgery, they get to pick dinner. That's their favorite! And I make awesome tacos, tamales, Mexican rice, refried beans, chips with queso dip. YUMMY! Ole! :teeth:

Maybe we should sing Feliz Navidad instead? :confused3

[MidNite]

I didn't get quoted for 12000 :sad1: :sad: :sad1: :sad: :sad1:

[KMH1]

I'm also going to use it in my scrapbooking if I ever get back around to doing that :rolleyes:

Too bad you live so far away...we could motivate each other. I'm only about five years behind on scrapbooking! :rotfl:

Amy :)

[tink2020]

Yes, I definitely think of tacos for dinner when I think of trimming the tree! :rotfl2:

With some hot chocolate or cider, of course? :crazy2:

Just kidding Denise :)

I had a feeling they picked dinner. It was just too easy to poke fun. ;)

I just can't believe how motivated you are. Your t-shirts are done. Your house is decorated. I'm a SAHM with one kid and I'm ridiculously behind on everything! Pitiful!

Sending you lots of pixie dust for tomorrow!

OMG!! I am seriously moving to Atlanta now!! We love Mexcian - I usually make enchiladas for our fix - unless of course we are at Don Pablos!!

[tink2020]

Denise -- you beat me to a post on ANOTHER thread, too! You're reading my mind from 500 miles away, aren't you?

[KMH1]

OMG!! I am seriously moving to Atlanta now!! We love Mexcian - I usually make enchiladas for our fix - unless of course we are at Don Pablos!!

Don Pablos is NOT authentic Mexican you silly woman! :rolleyes:

(I speak from experience...lived in Texas for three years)
Amy :)

[triplefigs]

Just kidding Denise :)

How about some Tequila or a Margarita or Kahlua/hot cocoa?

[tink2020]

Don Pablos is NOT authentic Mexican you silly woman! :rolleyes:



AMEN to that! We have family friends from Monterrey and they make the BEST tamales! (Sorry Denise... I have never tried yours, of course :))

[triplefigs]

Denise -- you beat me to a post on ANOTHER thread, too! You're reading my mind from 500 miles away, aren't you?

Psychic Denise at your calling!

[triplefigs]

OMG!! I am seriously moving to Atlanta now!! We love Mexcian - I usually make enchiladas for our fix - unless of course we are at Don Pablos!!

Mexican is my ultimate favorite, so of course I got the kids hooked. I'm just so dissapointed that the place at Mexico in Epcot gets such bad reviews. No Mexican during our trip. Boo hoo!

[tink2020]

How about some Tequila or a Margarita or Kahlua/hot cocoa?

I suppose that would work. Of course, not for the kids. :teeth:


Hey, would you look at that? I am here chatting again! Sorry Tammi ;)

Can you say Type A oldest child perfectionist?

[KMH1]

It seems like every WDW restaurant gets bad reviews from someone! We love LTT, Sci-fi, and Prime Time...all of which are constantly bashed.

Book it for your NEXT trip. ;)

[tink2020]

Can you say Type A oldest child perfectionist?

That used to be me, too... what happened?!?!?!? :rotfl2:

Now, I'm a Type A Oldest Child Perfectionist with serious procrastination issues. I'm not sure how that came about, but let me tell you -- it's a combination that'll drive anybody CRAZY! :crazy:

Oh, now I'm soooo hungry!

It's HORRIBLE isn't it?! I am never motivated to do anything.... put it off until forever... and then kick my butt trying to make whatever it is spectacular... only to not like it in the end :)

When it counts, though, I am still most DEFINITELY borderline Obsessive-Compulsive. If only you all could have seen my "wedding binders". Then you'd have REALLY thought I was :crazy:

I use a generic brand for my HP printer from Office Depot. They run about 10 dollars cheaper than the HP ones. I don't know if they have them in the store or not. I buy mine on line.

It was the least I could do for all the wonderful designs you have made for me and/or personalized for me for the past few months! I am overwhelmed by how generous you are with your precious time to humor my whims.

Hugs and pixie dust to the kiddles for the surgery tomorrow! (and to the parents who will have to stress through the whole ordeal!)

Jennifer

[Tinkaroo]

Yes, I definitely think of tacos for dinner when I think of trimming the tree! :rotfl2:

Denise - you shouldn't settle!! I told her I want to come to her wedding in case she needs any help handling her t-shirt emergencies!!!:rotfl:

[julia & nicks mom]

Oh - and I should also mention - I am not a big fan of authentic mexican - that is why I like Don Pablo's!!

Denise - I ate at San Angel once - service was slow - and the food was mediocre at best - even the people who like authentic mexican agreed with me on that!!

[Moonbeams]

Hey! I'm from California, and now live in Texas. Any night is taco night around here! Or cheesy enchilada night, salsa & chips night, margs night, etc!! Lots of people eat tamales on Christmas Eve around here.

Jennifer

[tink2020]

Oh - and I should also mention - I am not a big fan of authentic mexican - that is why I like Don Pablo's!!


Well, I have to admit. Authentic or not, I too LOVE Don Pablo's! :goodvibes

It's just funny. I went to Mexico for a month when I was in high school, and lots of others with us (all Americans) were APPALLED at the horrible food.

"You'd think they would make decent Mexican food here"... "this is NOT Mexican food"..... I swear I heard comments like that :rotfl:

[tink2020]

Come to think of it, MOST of our Italian restaurants aren't all that authentic either, are they?

It's like that darn Beverly soda :crazy2: .... I guess companies really do have to market for different tastes. :earboy2:

[bethbuchall]

Maybe we should sing Feliz Navidad instead? :confused3
I'll be there in about 8 hours. I'll bring the margaritas!!!!

[itslisa]

It's like that darn Beverly soda :crazy2: ....


That soda was AWESOME. LOL I got my DH to try it. told him I heard about it on-line ,,, that it was something special. LOL I swear, they should ahve a spit bucket right next to the machine!

I'm a cruel wife!

[bengalbelle]

Jennifer, are you my twin???!!! (just 11 years younger than me? ;) )

Okay, I need to go finish making dinner too...pork roast and roasted potatoes. The house smells amazing!

Amy :)
Umm...triplets :wave2:
My friend and I were just discussing this about me earlier today :earseek:

My house smells amazing too (chicken) only I can hardly see the oven for all the smoke :rotfl:

[itslisa]

DS just informed us that her REALLY REALLY REALLY wants to go to the "zoo park". Ya know ... I really wanted to drop AK from our plans (although I have a fabulous shirt for it!). Cal me a grouch, but it's my least favorite park. First off ... we have a fantastic zoo we go to in Rhode Island. Second ... and don't ban me for saying this ... Busch Gardens is better!

I swear the only reason he wants to go is for Primeval Whirl! ugh DH and I could not wait to get off! He rode again with another family! We both stood in the baby swap area!

[Moonbeams]

I told her I want to come to her wedding in case she needs any help handling her t-shirt emergencies!!!:rotfl:

Forget my DCL wedding t-shirt emergencies, I'm about to have a DCL t-shirt emergency tonight!!!!!!!!!

Here's the background...
Last year, DBF and I went on the DCL for Thanksgiving and LOVED IT!!! So relaxing, so much fun, Castaway Cay double dip (means you go there twice in one trip), avoided all the relatives so no one (or everyone) was disappointed we weren't with them, etc. DBF wanted to do the same this year. But I wanted to go to Disneyland and SF to see my relatives, so that's what we are doing. Supposed to leave tomorrow morning at 6 am to fly to Vegas for a few days with his parents, then go to SF to see my family next Tues through the following Tues.

Now, some things have changed with my relatives (people selling their homes, moving, upheaval, yada yada) and we are both worn out from this year and really want to go on the cruise and just RELAX. So we are seriously contemplating getting on the Thanksgiving cruise this coming Saturday -- DBF is a cast member, so we can go last minute.

That's 2 days from now!! I don't have time to make 7 days of t-shirts, plus appease the relations, plus rebook flights and rearrange our lives in 2 days!!! And yet we really want to go on the DCL. It's our favorite thing!

And to top it all off Denise and Kate aren't taking requests right now (I am TOTALLY joking!!), and it's the holidays so everyone is busy and can't help, and I still don't know how to use Photoshop so can't make my own designs. I'm going to have to search the DDA and borrow everyone's DCL designs if I'm going to make this happen. Why can't Target be open 24 hours so I can get t-shirts in the middle of the night?!

How's that for a t-shirt crisis from an only child perfectionist who is freaking out! I know, I know "get a real problem." Deciding whether or not to go on DCL and making t-shirts for the trip is small beans compared to surgery and other world issues.

Will keep you posted on the DCL trip decision.

Jennifer

[bengalbelle]

I would have posted sooner but didn't want to accidentally be 12000

So the doctor told me Nick had one of 3 things - my first choice of the 3 was strep -

the test was negative -

now I am not sure if I want him to have pneumonia or a viral infection:

we are waiting for chest x-ray results and the doc told me she would call later tonight with the results

if he does not have pneumonia - he has a virus that is a very high fever like he has been all day today for about 4 days - he is highly contagious and odds are the rest of the house will all get it before all is said and done

I will let you all know later!!!

Kate
Awww...sending lots of {{{HUGS}}} to Nick! Hope he feels better soon!

[Steamboat Marti]

http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b398/tink2020/wdwwishescometrue.jpg

LOVE IT!!! But since we're not going till next year, could you change 05 to 2006??? LOVE IT!

[Steamboat Marti]

Oh, poor Nick (and poor Kate!). You are in my prayers. Hopefully he'll feel better soon. Let me know if I can do anything. BTW, you can alternate Tylenol and Motrin every 3 hours to keep the fever down and him more comfortable. Ie Tylenol at 3pm, Motrin 6pm, Tylenol 9pm, Motrin 12am, etc. Use the full dose allowed. It keeps fevers under much better control and is an old Peds Nurse trick.

Hugs to you all!

This is a great solution for everybody but our Matthew. When he had his 107 fever and febrile seizure, they had told me the day before the seizure to do Tylenol, Motrin. Would you believe in addition to the febrile seizure, he was now throwing up blood? His tummy couldn't handle the meds and was just a mess. That's also the weekend of three nights in emergency as well as the weekend my mother died. Talk about stress....

[QUOTE=triplefigs

Oh, and after dinner we're decorating the tree! I'm making tacos for dinner first, and then putting on the Christmas music.[/QUOTE]

Tacos and Christmas tree decorating? That doesn't seem to go! :teeth:

[Steamboat Marti]

I'm a SAHM with one kid and I'm ridiculously behind on everything! Pitiful!


Amy :)

Ditto!!! I swear I get more done when I have more to do and no time to do it. Doesn't make sense, but then again, when do I make sense??

[bengalbelle]

Too bad you live so far away...we could motivate each other. I'm only about five years behind on scrapbooking! :rotfl:

Amy :)
Are you channeling me :teeth:

Mommie2angels that is such a great idea!! If I ever catch up on my housework I intend to catch up on the last 5 years of unfinished scrapbooks, lol. Digital scrapbooking would be great since I now only shoot digital pics. Please if something gets going on this will ya'll link back to this thread? I'm definitely interested!!!

Well I just got home from the dr & what I thought was a bad chest cold is pnemonia. :earseek: I think I caught it here on the t-shirt thread! :rotfl2:
Hopefully I should be fine in 7-10 days but I am supposed to be having Thanksgiving at my house! Hope I'll be up to the challenge by then!


Denise, I love Mexican & if thats what the kids what then I say "yummy"! i can't believe you have your house ready for Christmas..way to go! God bless your little guys & sending my thoughts for them tomorrow.

Actually I thought NYC had pretty decent mexican food until I went to Arizona this past August...I was in heaven :love:


Kate, hope Nick's fever is down! I do the 3 hour Tylenol/Motrin thing for my gusy when the fever is bad too.

I know, I know. :rolleyes1 But since the kids are having surgery, they get to pick dinner. That's their favorite! And I make awesome tacos, tamales, Mexican rice, refried beans, chips with queso dip. YUMMY! Ole! :teeth:

Maybe we should sing Feliz Navidad instead? :confused3


Or as my 3 year old twins sing, "Fleas, Naughty Dog". Have fun tonight. I'll be thinking about your kids and saying prayers until you post that all went well!

[julia & nicks mom]

Nick does not have pneumonia - so now we just have to wait it out for 4 or 5 days and hope the rest of us don't get it

[KMH1]

Nick does not have pneumonia - so now we just have to wait it out for 4 or 5 days and hope the rest of us don't get it

Fingers crossed that the rest of you manage to stay healthy! Nobody should be doing any of this :love2:

And wash your hands A LOT!!!

[Cinderumbrella]

Yikes- all you sickies around here!!! I may have to log off for a few days so I don't catch anything (lol). Just kidding- last time I did that I came back to 50 pages of new material!

Kate, that is great news about Nick. Good luck getting some meds into him.

Denise, thanks for the tip about the tylenol/motrin 3 hour rule. I am tucking it into my mental roladex for the next time Kyle gets sick.

Hunka, feel better soon! (I missed that post where that was revealed or I would have posted it earlier)

Sorry, I don't remember who was going on the last minute cruise- but HAVE A BLAST! I am so jealous. We have been back from WDW for 16 days now and I am ready to go back!!! Kyle talks about it all the time- but how do you convince a 2 year old that we can't just get in the car and go- that it is 1000 miles away! :rotfl:

[Glynis]

Nick does not have pneumonia - so now we just have to wait it out for 4 or 5 days and hope the rest of us don't get it

I'm so glad it's not pneumonia. I hope that the rest of you can get away unscathed. Sounds like this is the season for everyone to feel yucky! I'm not doing so well myself, however, mine is due to my surgery and rushing to eat things I shouldn't. Oh well, I guess I've learned a good lesson.

[triplefigs]

Nick does not have pneumonia - so now we just have to wait it out for 4 or 5 days and hope the rest of us don't get it

Thank goodness. Wash your hands, no kissing, and no sharing food/utensils. Spray Lysol on all door handles, etc. Give him a hug for us!

[triplefigs]

Ok, kids are having a late snack (no eating after midnight), and I'm fading fast. Think the tree will have to wait. Dinner was good, though!

Mommykds- I hope you're taking it easy and get well soon. Hugs to you!

LOVE IT!!! But since we're not going till next year, could you change 05 to 2006??? LOVE IT!

sure! PM me your email address

[Tinkaroo]

Kate, glad to hear that Nick doesn't have pneumonia!!! I echo the Lysol comments - spray it on EVERYTHING.

There must be something going around - I've had what I thought was a cold since Saturday, and then boom, today it's laryngitis! Which my doctor was quick to diagnose over the phone (hmm, all you have to do is hear me open my mouth!). Everyone at my office is sick, too.

Jennifer - have fun on your cruise if you guys decide to go, and best of luck with the tees! Where do you live in the Metroplex? DH and I live in Plano.

[miss missy]

Kate

Last year when I got back from Disney, DD had a virus like that, mostly fever and just down for the count, nothing else, for 1 week! She was so DOWN! I brought her in 2 times like what the..., it really was a virus.

Hope he gets better soon!

[miss missy]

Kate. Get the motrin into him as soon as you can. I'm sure that he will feel a little better when the fever comes down. Sounds like your in for some sleepless nights. Sending Pixie Dust your way. :wizard: :wizard:

Colby says sorry Nick. I hope you feel better soon. :bounce:

Deb


Oh and Kate, I just remembered, I gave her childrens mortinevery 6(I SWEAR ON THIS STUFF) and tylenol every 4 per the DR, check on that too!

[Tammi67]

Denise - I hope I catch you before you go....good luck with everything tomorrow.

[miss missy]

Can you say Type A oldest child perfectionist?

Yep I married one! The man does things right the first time. Period. No short cuts, no breaks.
Hey I guess this mean no divorces too... hmmm maybe I can get him to move to WDW with me :rotfl:

[julia & nicks mom]

Denise -give the kids hugs and we will be praying for you guys tomorrow

Paul - I hope you are feeling better

Nick got a little tylenol in him and is doing amazingly better - he is starting to drive me crazy again :rotfl: - DH doesn't understnad why I am so tired - it just takes it out of you to hold and carry a little one everywhere - includign the doctor and urgent care cetner. we finally had to give him a suppository - he refused the "candy" (chewable tablets) daddy brought home from work so we used the suppository - we'll see what he decides to do next time we offer him the "candy"

[itslisa]

Oh you guys are killing me! LOL

You have got me completely re-thinking my tour plan. Anyone good at critiquing them??????

[Tammi67]

Hi everyone. I haven't been able to get on much today. You all sure have been busy. So much is going on.

My3Princes - Congrats on your milestone!

Tink2020 - The new castle design is so pretty!

Kate - Sorry about poor Nick. This is really bizarre that just about everyone on this thread has been sick themselves or it's been someone in their family. My Nicholas went through that when he was 11 months old. He spiked a fever of 104.something and we couldn't get it to go down. No other symptoms. Called the ped. who said take him to ER. They did all sorts of tests...urine, blood, etc. and everything was fine. Then they did a chest xray and saw a teeny tiny spot somewhere on his lung and diagnosed pneumonia. He got a couple shots and a prescription and was acting normal by the next day. I am surprised it wasn't an ear infection after you said he was pulling on it and it smelled funny. I hope the rest of your family stays healthy.



And you all have made me hungry for Mexican food!

[itslisa]

Nick got a little tylenol in him and is doing amazingly better - he is starting to drive me crazy again :rotfl:

Well that's good. Suppositories are no fun for anyone involved!

That goes double from me to the triplets, Nick and our other DDAs who are down for the count with early-winter bugs.

Here's hoping this is the *only* time anyone gets sick this season!!

DBF and I are in the Uptown/McKinney Ave/West Village area. Basically, we are surrounded by construction cranes and new apartos going up (if you've been in this area lately, you'll know what I mean). This place is growing like crazy! Not sure it is for the better at the prices they charge for rent...

I work downtown, so I know exactly where you're talking about! I love that area - we used to live down there (no further north of downtown than Lovers Lane), but had to move out to the 'burbs when we bought a house. Talk about sticker shock - look at the Big D housing market in some areas!

Denise, we have 2 days in the same place, 1st and 5th. BUT we park hop and run like crazy, we could be anywhere anytime! I probably wont keep all these PS's either... too much planning for me LOL

[marcij]

Moonbeams -- wow -- "It is a small world." I work in that area. We've been in our little house for almost 17 years, and that area has dramatically changed. In fact, when we first moved the business in, we were part of a neighborhood association with daily six hour off duty police patrols because there was still a lot of crime in that area. I'm still sad that Gallery Cafe left, although my waistline is probably in much better shape. My kids loved those decorated cookies and there were difficult to resist!

[miss missy]

Got a PM about my siggy :( had to drop the DDA, it was so big. I just don't have the time to fix it right now :(

[my3princes]

Denise, best wishes on the Triplets surgeries. You certainly have your hands full.
Kate, I'm glad that you were able to get meds into Nick. We used to use the suppositories on our youngest. They're not fun, but they do work.

Midnite, sorry that I didn't quote you. It wasn't supposed to be my milestone and it snuck up. I would be happy to edit your quote in if you tell me what it was again. I would have been honored to use it if I had remembered.

Jennifer, do the cruise and don't worry about shirts. You can make them for next time. Just have fun.

I'm sure I should be responding to more, but I just read 6 pages and can't remember everything. So hello to all and hope everyone is feeling better soon.

Well, we've got the 2nd at Epcot too. Otherwise, I'm not totally sure. I have things heavily planned for 11/23-27 when it is really crowded and my 9yo sister is with us.

23rd - arrive, DTD

25th - PSB, Epcot, Candlelight, Illuminations
26th - MGM, MK, Spectro, Wishes
27th - MK, Crystal Palace, MVMCP
28th - touring resorts after taking Sis to airport
29th - CRT breakfast, LTT, MVMCP
30th - AK, the MGM for Fantasmic
1st - MK opening, unknown for rest of day
2nd - Epcot all day
3rd - unknown for morning, evening tour at Give Kids the World, hopefully a last shot at Wishes or Fantasmic
4th - gotta leave :(

[julia & nicks mom]

I felt naked without my sig - so I put it back - does not mean I am designing again - just leaving my designs easily accessible

the dda logo file is now small enough that you can have it in and it only takes about 1/2 of the signature allotted file space - you can feel free to put it back - I fixed it in my photobucket - so anyone linked to there is fixed now too

[itslisa]

the dda logo file is now small enough that you can have it in and it only takes about 1/2 of the signature allotted file space - you can feel free to put it back - I fixed it in my photobucket - so anyone linked to there is fixed now too


So what are the rules for using the DDA logo???

[Tammi67]

I felt naked without my sig - so I put it back - does not mean I am designing again - just leaving my designs easily accessible

I'm glad you are "completely" back now. Well, almost.

[julia & nicks mom]

So what are the rules for using the DDA logo???

my rules? or the dis rules?

your signature can't be over 50 kb - so this is within guidelines now - we were WAY over before -

feel free to copy the logo into your signature

[itslisa]

my rules? or the dis rules?


Nahh ... the QUEEN'S rules! I mean I am seriously addicted here .. but I am no designer!

[itslisa]

12/16 - home

[gigi1313]

tinker1bell's and my shirts.


Arrival day.... we wore these on the plane. Lots of good attention. The people at Magical Express loved them.

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d129/StephaMickey/74c61f34.jpg front



i *love* :love: this shirt... we are giving the kids the trip as part of their Christmas present but not telling them exactly when we are going (we're going MLK weekend, telling the kids "end of january" so that they can concentrate in school... they have state tests in the morning and we are leaving in the afternoon) so these shirts would be GREAT to hand them when we show up at school to get them... maybe i will make them on sweatshirts since we're leaving from NY in january...

can you or the designer share this one, please and thank you! :wizard:

[miss missy]

You guys are going to MVMCP twice?????

Yep, just me and DD(12) and we have AP's, I decided to go for 2 party nights. We will be running and hopping all around! She is like her Mom and we do not stop... we can't really move around with it just us two :)

[itslisa]

Cool. I thought it was a mistake.


I called Disney Dining to make some changes tonight .. .and man were they trying to sell me tickets to MVMCP. Now, mind you, I'm not against it .. just the price. :) I know the park is open later ... less guests ... but it's just a bit out of my budget.

We were never EVER supposed to be going on this trip. We went went DH got back from Iraq and that was supposed to be it. BUT, I entered one too many contests ... and well ... my number came up. We just don't have lots of money for this trip, but luckily, we only have to pay for food. :)

I guess we splurged in that we're staying for 2 extra days. I have park tick for 5 days ... but only 4 nights lodging. I could NOT see flying and going to the park on the same day ... it would be WAY too much on my ASD son.

So ... we are getting full use of the 5 days of park tickets. :)

We went years with no vacations. These mother daughter trips are just sooo fun! I go all out. Plus, she is getting so big and I am so afraid she will tire of going with just me too soon.

Now what the heck did you win girl???

[gigi1313]

Come to think of it, MOST of our Italian restaurants aren't all that authentic either, are they?

It's like that darn Beverly soda :crazy2: .... I guess companies really do have to market for different tastes. :earboy2:

hey, don't pick on the Beverly... I am one of the few that actually *like* the beverly soda! :earboy2:

[Tammi67]

Can anyone help me? Who out there can remove people from a photo??? I am working on my DM&F's Christmas calendar, where we put photos of the kids in for each month, and I have one of my DS's karate class, but I want the other students taken out. Is that bad of me? It just looks too busy with everyone in the background doing punches. If you can help, please pm me.

Edited - Nevermind, I took care of the problem. I appreciate the offers to help, thought. Thanks.

[Tammi67]

See what I mean? This looks like the big one - am I right??
No, the wording doesn't change. It only says Disney Design Addicts. The other says spreading PD one design at a time.

I got post #12148 and MidNite helped me get to where I am today. :goodvibes

Many thanks to lmartin for PMing me to let me know that the 12,000th post was upon us. That was very thoughtful, even though I was not here to read the PM!! We had ESPN at our school today and it was HECTIC to say the least!!

Congrats to Deb for post 12,000 by the way :love:

Denise :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: for your little ones. When my boys were 4 and 5 they had a tonsilectomy, adenoidectomy with tubes at the same time. It was rough for a week or so.

Hope your three do well tomorrow and recovery quickly.

and here is a :grouphug: for you and you DH as I know you both will be stressed out.

ALSO everyone else who is sick (Nick, Paul, and too many more to mention) GET WELL SOON.

[julia & nicks mom]

I have to post on this page b/c 811 is my lucky number? Why you ask - maybe my stalker knows!! :p

Elin - I hope you feel better soon!!

Oh and just so everyone else isn't waiting for us to start game night online Saturday - we had to cancel - Nick is just way too sick and I don't want Amy and Alyssa to spend Monday at the doctor's office -

Julia is a little ticked

[Steffy]

I can understand that! I have tons to catch up on, but never any time! I will still try and do it while I remember :)

Hey, do you get the Z-Mail newsletters? Members can bring 4 friends to FOL this weekend. I don't think we'll be back in town early enough on Saturday (and you have gamenight then, I know) but I thought I'd let you know in case you can take advantage of it Friday or Sunday! No tickets or anything needed, you just have to be present with the group.

I'm about 15 pages behind so forgive me if you've already answered. How did you get all of your lights working in your signature? Looks really cute..... :goodvibes

[Steffy]

This is a great solution for everybody but our Matthew. When he had his 107 fever and febrile seizure, they had told me the day before the seizure to do Tylenol, Motrin. Would you believe in addition to the febrile seizure, he was now throwing up blood? His tummy couldn't handle the meds and was just a mess. That's also the weekend of three nights in emergency as well as the weekend my mother died. Talk about stress....

Oh Marti,

Talk about a weekend from h e double hockey sticks!!! :grouphug: :grouphug:

[Steffy]

I would have posted sooner but didn't want to accidentally be 12000

So the doctor told me Nick had one of 3 things - my first choice of the 3 was strep -

the test was negative -

now I am not sure if I want him to have pneumonia or a viral infection:

we are waiting for chest x-ray results and the doc told me she would call later tonight with the results

if he does not have pneumonia - he has a virus that is a very high fever like he has been all day today for about 4 days - he is highly contagious and odds are the rest of the house will all get it before all is said and done

I will let you all know later!!!

Kate

Feel better Nick! I sure hope it's not pneumonia or the virus. Can't he have something mild like a cold??? Hugs. :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

[Steffy]

Ok, here's where we are eating!
Arrival: CM dinner

showing each of us at our computers - laughing, crying, posting, designing, drinking our diet coke and end with us all meeting at WDW - that would be a great commercial!!!!!

DS just informed us that her REALLY REALLY REALLY wants to go to the "zoo park". Ya know ... I really wanted to drop AK from our plans (although I have a fabulous shirt for it!). Cal me a grouch, but it's my least favorite park. First off ... we have a fantastic zoo we go to in Rhode Island. Second ... and don't ban me for saying this ... Busch Gardens is better!

I swear the only reason he wants to go is for Primeval Whirl! ugh DH and I could not wait to get off! He rode again with another family! We both stood in the baby swap area!

It's NAHTAZU! :teeth:

DBF read recently that in the US, Coke is going to quit distributing Diet Vanilla Coke and Diet Coke with Lemon. We love Diet Vanilla Coke; it tastes like candy, and when we are low carbing, it is a treat! DBF is :sad1: :sad1: :sad1: :sad1: :sad1:

[Moonbeams]

Okay, here is the quick update on my trip situation (because I know you are all waiting with baited breath to know where DBF and I are spending Thanksgiving!) :rotfl: :rotfl:

We decided to keep the trips to Vegas and San Francisco as planned. So we leave tomorrow at 5 am :earseek: :earseek: :earseek: for Vegas. Then next Tues we'll fly from Vegas to SF and spend Thanksgiving there.

That is not to say that DCL has gone by the wayside. Instead, we are looking at the 4-night cruise that leaves on Dec 4. This means we'll be at WDW on Sat, Dec 3 so we could actually meet the triplets (and their parents of course). We'll be the crazy people running around MGM looking for Triplefigs. Note to self... go back through this thread to see which shirts R, D and BK are wearing that day so we can spot the from afar.

Then, we'll do a few days at WDW after the trip (we already had that planned actually, it's DBF's birthday weekend). DBF has a work thingy on the evening of Dec 8, so if anybody is at WDW at the time and wants a dinner buddy -- or wouldn't mind me tagging along with your family -- let me know.

BTW -- we both work from home so can take our laptops and our jobs on the road. Don't want you to think we are independently wealthy or anything. We wish!!

Okay, I'm all packed and am wearing shirts I made for previous trips and activities. Will make more shirts when I get to my mom's in SF (she is dying to see how these transfer papers work). It is almost 2 am here and the car service comes at 5 am. Think it's time for me to get a small bit of sleep. I'll try to log in tomorrow to hear how Nick, the triplets, hunka, PNO4TE and all the other sickies are doing.

Hugs to all!

I'm a Type A Youngest Child Perfectionist with procrastination issues. I read somewhere (FlyLady, maybe?) that the perfectionism is what leads to procrastination. "Well, I don't have enough time to do it AND make it be perfect, so I'll get to it later..."

[ksoehrlein]

BTW -- we both work from home so can take our laptops and our jobs on the road.

Please, please fill us in. What does your DBF do for Disney that he can work from home in Texas? And are they hiring for anyone to work from home in Alabama??? (Sweet Home Alabama...) OK, now I'm getting punchy!

[lmartin2711]

:wave:
I need two t-shirts with the Wiggles characters. One with JAKE and the other HALEY. Kate has done them in the past but she is taking a break. Is anyone interested in attempting. I am taking my two grandkids to the Wiggles this weekend and would love to make them a shirt. I know it is only a couple of days away so if nobody gets to I am just going to use the Disney Playhouse design that is on Kate's design thread. Just thought I would check.

Thanks.....Lynn

You guys got itchy fingers or something? 18 pages in 18 hours!!!!

I gave up catching up after 804 :guilty: because Nick has somehow managed to give Christian the ear infection - perhaps its a computer virus :rotfl2: . The Doctor gave him some antibiotics: apparently the current "advice" is give Calpol and/or Neurofen for 3 days then give antibiotics if still bad. Luckily we have brilliant doctors who know what life is, so he followed it up with "if it gets worse start it sooner, if it was one of my kids I'd start it straight away" ;)

Hope Nick is feling better - Christian is lying on the sofa shivering under a blanket (this morning he said he wanted to wear shorts because he was too hot - he had a fever). He's very quiet -I bet if I pop in he'll be asleep! :)

[cocowum]

Okay, I need some help DDA's. I have this plaque that says Home is where your story begins.(pic below)
http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/data/500/62746home.jpg

I would like to make a similar one using the word "Family" but I can't think of a good saying. The plaque is only about 18 inches across, so I could only use about 6 words. Any ideas??? Thanks, any help would be appreciated! :goodvibes

[marcij]

MazdaUK -- hope Christian feels better soon!

To everyone else who is sick, has sick kids or other family members, Here's hoping they all get lots of rest and feel better soon!

We'll be at MK the evening of the 14th, too, for Spectro! And MGM the 15th, which you said you weren't sure about :)

[tink2020]

BUT, I entered one too many contests ... and well ... my number came up. We just don't have lots of money for this trip, but luckily, we only have to pay for food. :)


WOW! How exciting!! I enter every contest, and never believed anyone really won until all these DISers started going for free! Congratulations!!!!

[tink2020]

hey, don't pick on the Beverly... I am one of the few that actually *like* the beverly soda! :earboy2:

Ewww.... I actually had had it several times at the Coke museum/factory thing (in Atlanta). My youth minister when I was like 12 tricked everyone into tasting it. SO... you better believe any time we were in Atlanta I 'payed it forward' ;) When DH and I went to WDW on our honeymoon I had completely forgotten about it -- until I SAW it, so he was my next victim. ;)

I can't wait until my family tries it! Unfortunately (for me, not them), they have been fairly warned by some friends.

[tink2020]

I'm about 15 pages behind so forgive me if you've already answered. How did you get all of your lights working in your signature? Looks really cute..... :goodvibes

I just found the clipart again, and did the whole gif animation website (like the sparkly sigs) and put the new one in Photobucket. My question is, how did it go out in the first place?! I really think they all worked before! lol

Dear Julia1234,

Please don't be mad at Nick. It's not his fault he got sick and we had to postpone game night. Hopefully you and your mommy and daddy will stay healthy, and we'll be able to pick another night soon. Or maybe, just me and my mommy can play with you while our daddies are at work. We'll figure something out after Nick feels better. I miss you and I hope you have a good day!

Love,
Alyssa princess:

showing each of us at our computers - laughing, crying, posting, designing, drinking our diet coke and end with us all meeting at WDW - that would be a great commercial!!!!!


I'm for it!!!

[itslisa]

It's NAHTAZU! :teeth:

Ummmmm ...... G-d bless you???????


Seriously - what's that about??

[Mom2Ashli]

Oh I am so excited. My Friend just e-mailed me to tell me that her DH finally said they could go to WDW. He is not a FAN. They have two kids and this will be their first trip.

I am going to look around thru here and make them some t-shirts at least for the kids. Not sure her DH would wear one.

:Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

I am so excited for them you would think I was the one going.

Sorry just had to share.

[itslisa]

Oh to be young, in love, double incomes with no kids again!!!


AMEN!

Ummmmm ...... G-d bless you???????

Sound it out...Animal Kingdom is NOT A ZOO! :rotfl: (They have that on all their commercials and brochures!)

Hey -- I love going to the zoo. Liek I said .. we have a great one here. I just dont' care for Animal Kingdom. There is TONS of walking and heaven help me we got SO lost and I felt ike we kept walking in circles!!!

Tree of Life .. .fantastic. Thoroughly enjoyed ITTBAB. The safari ride left MUCH to be desired. The whole "DinoLand" area is well .. ridiculous! I like the "dinosaur aspect -- not the carnival part. KWIM?

[tink2020]

Seriously.... what are some of these smileys about?!

:hyper2: :tongue: :teleport: :yo-yo: :magnify:

Someone was seriously bored that day .... or was taking .... ummmm ... supplements. Yeah that's it ... supplements! LOL

[tink2020]

...And what am I still doing on here?! You all have NO idea how much I need to do. There are still PILES of stuff to attend to at the apartment.... boxes of stuff here to sort through.... 375 pages of text to read before Mondays' exams... travel plans to be narrowed down... new license (which was somehow lost) .... a dentists appointment at 2:40 (at which I have NO clue what they're going to do. Maybe a root canal? The receptionist didn't know if the doctor wanted to "see the tooth" (which we already know gets a root canal) or DO the RC.... minor detail).

and that's not mentioning anything for our trip which is seriously creeping up (no complaints here!)


Yell if you see my green light on, I'm serious. Denise - let us know how the kids are doing!!!!

Have a good day.

I'm sorry the safari was unsatisfying...did you ride it first thing in the morning? The animals are much more active when it's cooler.

One of our favorite things to do is to visit all the characters in Camp Minnie Mickey while a FOLK show is going on...no lines and lots of character interaction!

Jammin Jungle Parade is also my favorite parade...we always sit where nobody is sitting across from us, and we get so much interaction.

Hopefully your next visit will be more desirable! :flower:

Yup ... we were there in February .... early morning I'd say by 10 or so. Heat was definitely NOT an issue.

Have you ever been on Busch Gardens safari ride?

We didn't get there. DS vetoed it for whatever reason. But we had NO problems with meeting characters. :) In fact leaving AK, it started to rain ... but Minnie. Mickey, and Donald were all signing autographs at the ticket booths! They were great!!!

Jammin Jungle Parade is also my favorite parade...we always sit where nobody is sitting across from us, and we get so much interaction.
Care to divulge your favorite spot? I think we were right at the beginning. We were right in front of a fruit cart.

Hopefully your next visit will be more desirable! :flower:
Hope so too. I'll be "over it" by the time we go.

Okay, I need some help DDA's. I have this plaque that says Home is where your story begins.(pic below)

I think that is a great idea. Someone should pitch it to the Coca Cola Company.

Lisa, have you seen Festival of the Lion King? To me, that alone is worth going to AK for.

[lmartin2711]

oooops....see next post.

You guys have been busy again. I hope that the triplets do well with their surgeries today. I keep thinking of the poor little ones having to go through that. Well, my baby is now offically 3. :faint: We let him open his presents this morning as we had 20 minutes where all 5 of us would be together today. I have to work tonight and tomorrow night. Tomorrow is DHs birthday. We gave Colby a couple of sets of GeoTrax so I spent 2 1/2 hours this morning engineering the tracks. He and nephew have been playing (well actually fighting, but what's new) with the trains. I can't believe how much they enjoy them. His room will have no floor space left between the sets he got or is getting for his birthday and the ones for Christmas. Good thing they make the elevation sets now, we can go up instead of out.

Yes -- THAT is what I ant to do! If we could have skipped AK ... I would have been fine. BUT I mentioned to DH that since we are going -- FotLK was my #1 priority. This is a man who HATES "shows". Oh, that is unless he has a chance to be in it. Did I mention how long we waited to be seated for Indy -- WITH fast passes -- so the man would have the best chance of being picked!

I told him already -- Indy is NOT on my list !!!!

[itslisa]

Denise Please let us know how the kids are doing as soon as you can! I woke up thinking about them!

[Tinkaroo]

Please, please fill us in. What does your DBF do for Disney that he can work from home in Texas? And are they hiring for anyone to work from home in Alabama??? (Sweet Home Alabama...) OK, now I'm getting punchy!

That's what I'd like to know!!

[itslisa]

Decisions .. decisions ....

OK ... DH and I can't choose!!!

I am making a shirt for our AK hop to MK day. We are stuck on the MK design. Since we are there for Spectro and Wishes -- I thought about a design for one or the other. I don't recall seeing a Spectro design ... so we're flipping between these two.

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/DisneyTShirts/2wishes.jpg

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b148/DisneyTShirts/wishescometrue.jpg

The plan is to put them on a black shirt. I think the first design will be easier to cut out. On the 2nd, the frame is sort of jagged. I will never be able to cut it out right ... and I think it will look sort of odd if I just cut it straight ... KWIM?

Oh .. .and since this design is going on the front of the shirt .... I have my concerns that thos Mickey ears are going to land ... well .. you know where! I am amply endowed without accentuating the positve!

Oh .. .this is the design for the back:
http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c319/pxydust/tlbsafari0tm.jpg



Maybe I should flip them on put AK on the front and Wishes on the back?????? I'd probably get better character interaction with the AK design in the front, huh? Since we'll be at MK at night ...

I would like to make a similar one using the word "Family" but I can't think of a good saying. The plaque is only about 18 inches across, so I could only use about 6 words. Any ideas??? Thanks, any help would be appreciated! :goodvibes
How about "Family is what keeps your heart full"???

[Tammi67]

LOL Don't you think those two adorable kids in the photo will MISS you?????

Those 2 + me + you = 4 :rotfl:

Just kidding.....congrats to you. What a great early Christmas present.

[bethbuchall]

How about "Family is what keeps your heart full"???

Or "Family is the heart of your story" Too long? I'm trying to think of something that keeps "story" as part of it. It would be better with the "is what" or "is who" though. Let me think some more...

Yeah ... but the only glitch in it all .. .was after we came home last time, DS stated our next vacation should be in Las Vegas!!!! I couldn't FATHOM where he got that idea ... and then realized it was from a Rugrats cartoon!!!

I had to break it to DS that we were not headed to LV ... but to WDW. He was a little miffed but I did my best to explain that this was NOT planned and we were pretty lucky to get it! He decided it would be OK .. as long as I start entering contests to go to Vegas!

I have a spectromagic design but photobucket is not cooperating today

[julia & nicks mom]

Good news!!!

Nick is feeling much better - only two rounds of suppositories and then he decided he would rather chew his medicine!!!

His fever is pretty low today and he is actually playing a little bit - he slept well through the night - although I did turn Toy Story2 on for him at one point!

Denise - I hope all is well!!!!! :wizard:

I like this one, but could I make a suggestion? I think the right ear where it simply says "walt disney world" makes it a little off-balanced. I think it needs a little more pizzazz or some sparkles or something, to even it out with the 2 other pictures. Other than that, I think it is bee-you-tee-full.

[itslisa]

Well .. I got in but didn't see it. What was the main focus of the graphic and I'll look again.

The only thing I can think of is "Family - the most important people in the world" but I'm afraid that is going to be too long.

We would have to talk to the Queen .. since I am not capable of that. But ... I want to see the Spectro one first. Cause honestly, that parade is the whole reason I just juggled my schedule again! LOL I realized that I CANNOT go to MK and miss it. I would be WAY too sad.

Someone had suggested adding a day to my tix ... but aparently I can't do that. :( It would have been just to go into MK on Saturday night -- so I'm not paying a full days ticket for that. I would rather buy MVMCP tix.

How many days is your original ticket for? We have a four 7 day tickets and it is costing us only 10 bucks total to add another day onto each ticket.

I know what you mean, thought. I LOVE that parade too.

5 days. It's less than $10 to add the day on ... but I was told because they are some sort of "special" ticket, they could not add it on.

[Tammi67]

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY COLBY!!!

[julia & nicks mom]

can everyone else see the photobucket pictures?

[bethbuchall]

I can't either. If I follow the link to your designs, I can see all the thumbnails, but I can't see the larger version either.

Beth

[Tammi67]

Kate - I'm glad Nick is feeling better and that everyone was able to rest throughout the night.

Denise - I'm thinking of you all today.


It is awful being a parent and our little ones out of sorts. I remember when Alyssa was 2 and cut her chin. Had to go to the ER for stitches. They wrapped her in a bedsheet, like a cocoon, so she couldn't fight them. She was so scared and crying so hard and there was absolutely nothing I could do but stand there and try to talk to her. That is the worst feeling in the world.

[bethbuchall]

Less than 100 left to 12345, and I have to go out for a while. If you are chatty this afternoon, whoever gets 12345, give out a wave to me. :rotfl:

Beth

[lmartin2711]

I can....I was in there last night and agian this morning. The photos came up for me.
