***Disney Design Addict's Chit Chat,Designs and Pixie Dust! Everybody WELCOME!*** Part 3

[tinker1bell]

I promise that the picture of me in just the body will be taken where i have to dress so no kids will be around :earseek: :rolleyes1

[MinnieMouseMom]

I've got a finger sucker so if you figure it out - let me know!!

Julia realized the week of her 2nd birthday - that I gave her her binky for two reasons - to stop her from crying and to put her to bed - so one day everytime I tried to give it to her - she threw it out - I never had a struggle with her - she was not willing to give up her tantrums for a binky!! :rotfl: Luckily - she doesn't REALLY know how to throw a good tantrum - although she is much better at them now then when she was 2!!!

Nick on the other hand came out sucking his middle and forefinger and hasn't stopped since


LOL I'll let you know. It's funny, I had a binky girl and a thumbsucker. With Kaelyn, after she turned 3, I had her throw the binky away. She was great from then on. Never fussed about it at all. With Stephanie, she knows not to suck her thumb, she'll hide it from us, or if you walk into a room, she'll pull her thumb out and look at us like a deer in headlights. :earseek: LOL So she knows she's not supposed to, but she still does it.

[Steamboat Marti]

Who changed my signature??? It used to rotate to the other saying and I understand that was probably too big, but mine used to be centered. When and who????

[Tammi67]

We're going to see the Wiggles tomorrow! I love them. The music is fun, and my kids adore them too. BTW, Anthony was looking pretty good last year when we went. :rotfl:
I wanted to take my kids when they were here in Sept. but it was the week of our beach vacation. I have heard great things about their show. Murray is my favorite.

[tinker1bell]

Who changed my signature??? It used to rotate to the other saying and I understand that was probably too big, but mine used to be centered. When and who????

It seems that a few people got an email saying that their signature was too big and they would have to change it. so Kate changed hers and if you copied off hers, your automatically changed as well

[Tammi67]

Bummer! Same with you all, obviously... I didn't realize you both came in at the end of our trip! :guilty:
Too bad. It would have been fun to have a mini meet, even if it was only the 3 of us.

[Tammi67]

I'm so sad and happy at the same time. My Rees is the first tonight for a big, big event...

Notice something missing?
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b175/DenisePersonal/IMG_0020.jpg

Where did it go? Who knows? I think it is following the same path as the penny! :rotfl:

He doesn't care cause the Tooth Fairy is making her first appearance tonight! We had no idea it was that loose. Went to brush his teeth and it had obviously just come out. If I'd known, I would have gotten him a Disney Dollar from the tooth fairy to spend in 2 weeks. I'm so sad that my little boy is really growing up. His other bottom tooth is hanging on barely, so it'll be out soon. BK has one loose. Davis none, and he is MAD 'cause he wasn't first!
What a milestone. Nicholas is having a hard time because all of his friends have lost teeth and it's like his are glued in there.

[Tammi67]

BTW, what is the going rate for a tooth?
In our circle it is $5 for the FIRST tooth, then $1-2 after that. Make sure the tooth fairy sprinkles pixie dust on his pillow, too.

[Tammi67]

Ok, ok. Sad part is he didn't have a tooth to leave under the pillow. He was really bummed about that. We keep hoping we'll find it. I'm not losing the next one! BTW, for you experienced moms, did you save their teeth? I'm kind of sad we missed saving the first one.
My mother still has all of my baby teeth. I have know idea what she is planning on doing with them. When I was little she would tell me that she was going to make me a necklace out of all of them.

[julia & nicks mom]

Marti -

you are now linked to the new DDA logo but it has the name of the new logo - it used to be just dda now it is dda small so somehow the link was changed - did hunka hunka do it for you? otherwise - maybe the powers that be decided instead of sending emails to just adjust the logo for you?!? :confused3

if so - I think that was pretty nice of them - to center it =- go to your user cp - edit signature - highlight and hit the center button then save signature

Not exactly sure what happened, but then again, when it concerns my computer I'm never sure what happened!! But I think I've changed it now. Thanks - let see how long that lasts!

[julia & nicks mom]

I have a stupid question -

what is the treatment for a broken rib?

[Tammi67]

I have a stupid question -

what is the treatment for a broken rib?
A wrap, like a huge ace bandage, around the ribs. My dad had a hairline crack in one a while back and he said it was extremely painful, because you can't immobilize it like an arm or leg.

[dumby]

I have a stupid question -

I think they usually just wrap you real tight around the middle. Not sure.

I was looking at your lovely children in your sig was thinking you need to add a picture of Mrs. Potts. :rotfl:

[Steamboat Marti]

I have a stupid question -

Don't know of the treatment, but what happened???

[julia & nicks mom]

Don't know of the treatment, but what happened???


not sure - just have a huge pain in my ribs - it is clearly my ribcage that is hurting - not the muscle or an internal organ - it isn't too bad during the day but at night I can't even lay down on that side - we had company in bed a couple of times this week and I am wondering if one of them kicked me while I was sleeping

[Steamboat Marti]

Definately take a bunch of Advil or Motrin and try to sleep. What if you sleep in a recliner so that you're not flat? Will that help?

[Tammi67]

This is what happened to my dad. We were at Funland, (arcade, putt-putt, go carts, etc.) and someone ran into his go-cart. After that he complained about his side hurting (the side he got hit on). Well, a few days later, he sneezed really hard, and fell to the floor in pain. The crash must have started it but the sneeze actually finished off the break.

[Tammi67]

Ok, all. I'm off to bed. DH is working tomorrow and my kids will be up by 8AM. I so wish they were late sleepers. Good night.

Guess i wont' be sneezing this week!! :rotfl:

I can lay on the other side and it isn't too bad - it just hurts if I roll over and it is on my preferred sleeping side - I don't have a good recliner to sleep in - I might try propping up my pillows though

[tinker1bell]

I have a stupid question -

recently when I thought I had a cracked rib from coughing so hard,,,all they said was take it easy.. No more trying to use a wrap

[Steamboat Marti]

Good luck - and its time for me to say goodnite too - later!

[miss missy]

I wonder how that would work for a thumbsucker? :rotfl: I need ideas! LOL

Cant help on that one. I did it till I married! For real, at bed time ! :rolleyes:

[PNO4TE]

Well, we'll be at Pop on the 17th with you ;) But we check out and leave on the 18th, so our trips don't overlap that much! Have fun, though ... it looks like you have a lot of fun stuff planned!

Jennifer --

Sorry we probably won't run into you this trip. And we DO have lots of fun stuff planned. Lots of resting up from a hectic recital schedule that does not stop until Friday, 12/16 at 9:30 p.m. :earseek:

[PNO4TE]

[QUOTE=tink2020]I actually never minded watching Shining Time Station and Barney with my sister. :rolleyes:QUOTE]

Ahhhhh... How about Eureka's Castle and Today's Special from the old Nickelodeon Network? Or The Elephant Show with Sharon, Lois and Bram?

And then there was Baby Songs... I think that is what it was called. We have ALL those videos.

And if we go back to FirstBorn DD... Sesame Street.

[PNO4TE]

Way off thread! Does anybody live near Tucson? My husband has a business trip there in Jan. We are trying to decide if we should go with him.

Don't live anywhere near Tucson, but you should go. It is a beautiful area and you get to go away with your DH!

[PNO4TE]

Yep - I've kept every one of Matt's teeth. Problem is, what do I do with them now???

Make a necklace........

ETA: I wrote this before I read Tammi's advice. We are on the same wave length. Either that or her mother and I are the same age....

[tink2020]

That's true, they aren't using the rib binders anymore because of impaired breathing (from less chest expansion), pneumonia, and other complications.

Oh my.... those were MY shows when I was younger, not Cassi's! You hit on my two VERY favorite, Eureka's Castle and Today's Special. Nobody even knows what I'm talking about with the second!

In Today's Special there was Sam, the security guy; Jodie, the sales clerk/dresser; and Jeff, the mannequin!

And, Eureka's Castle had Plus and Minus, if I remember correctly.

Yes, and also Magellan the dragon and Batley, and all those other characters that would always have that great big feast :rotfl:

Ok, so what about David the Gnome and Double Dare? Those were also some of my favorite! Then when I got a little older, it was Clarissa Explains it All, the Secret World of Alex Mack, Wild and Crazy kids (which I got to go on when they came to Kings Island!), Hey Dude (where Christine Taylor got her start ;)).....

I'd love to watch some of those over again!

[bengalbelle]

Go figure -- I did the same thing in jr. high and high school. Does anybody here watch the Sopranos??
Me and I'm in withdrawals! I love Edie Falco.

No Michigan fans around here, right? If so, I just may have to rethink my membership :rolleyes:

Phew! Caught up at last! Now take it easy all of you.

I was due with dd on dh's birthday

I was due with DS(12) on our 3rd wedding anniversary, Dh's birthday is the day after - eventually had to be induced 2 weeks later, but at least we get to keep our cards up for a couple of weeks :goodvibes

My birthday is the day after my mothers and she used to have to take her cards down the next day :guilty:

Good to hear Kevin's headache is better.

Between 5:30 and 6:00 p.m. Pizza for dinner...not sure if the rules state we play and eat at the same time or if we eat first, play later. Julia's the boss! :teeth:

That's one game we don't have. I've heard it's based on DL's Magic Kingdom though.

Amy :)

[Tammi67]

Well we will wait for Hostess Kate to log on and give us the details.

I've heard that too, ref. the game. Guess I'll have to examine it closely at the store.

[bethbuchall]

That's one game we don't have. I've heard it's based on DL's Magic Kingdom though.

We have it. It is a cross between WDW's Magic Kingdom and DL's Magic Kingdom. The lands are WDW as are some rides. Other rides (Autopia and Tarzan's Tree House are two that come to mind) are from DL. Santa brought it last Christmas. We haven't played it for quite a while, but we enjoyed it.

Triplefigs - Congratulations to Rees on losing his first tooth! I hope the Tooth Fairy was good to him!! My mom used to leave silver dollars. I really believed in the TF because I'd never seen those before!

MinnieMouseMom and J & N's Mom - My mom got DS to stop sucking his fingers when he was 3. They were always in his mouth and his teeth were starting to be affected. PM me if you want to know what she did. It's a little mean, but he doesn't seem to be scarred for life :teeth:

Tinker1Bell - hope you had a Grrrrreeeeeeaaaaattttt! time as Tony the Tiger!

Marti - we've been throwing around the idea of spending Christmas at WDW. I just can't imagine not waking up in my home, with my tree on Christmas morning. I'd love to hear from others who have done it. Right now we're thinking about early December again.

Julia and Kevin - may the best man, or er princess win!


General comments/questions - I know the triplets are 5, but on average at what age do kids start losing their teeth? This is one aspect of childhood that totally freaks me out. I am scared of wiggly teeth :eek: !

Speaking of wiggling - for those of you who like the Wiggles, or did like the Wiggles but your kids are a little too old for them, check out the Imagination Movers if they come to your area: http://www.imaginationmovers.com/website/index.php
I don't think they're touring right now because they're from New Orleans and were affected by Katrina, but they just did a show in Baton Rouge and they are awesome! It's a very high energy, fun show. I know they've toured before so I imagine they will again.

:cheer2: Geaux Tigers, Go Bucks, Roll Tide!! :cheer2:

Alyssa has been sucking her thumb since birth and in the past few months, she has also started playing with her belly button. I bought her a whole bunch of onesie turtlenecks, and she gets really frustrated, because she can't reach her bb, so usually I end up unsnapping them.

Last night, she had a category 3 meltdown when we were leaving the restaurant, because Kevin put her coat on, thus no access to bb.

Luckily, she sleeps through the night in her blanket sleepers, but as soon as she wakes up, I have to let her walk around with them unzipped, so she has bb access.

Anyone else have any experience with this?
Amy :)

I would gently discourage the belly button playing if I were you. I know from personal experience (and ds would kill me if he knew I was mentioning this) that it can get very annoying and be persistant. Same ds was a major thumbsucker by the way.

Beth

[julia & nicks mom]

I CERTAINLY hope that doesn't happen at MY house tonight!!! we have never experienced anything like that around here!!! :rotfl:

[bear74]

It is! It is! We're getting there. Slowly but surely. I think we are the last ones to go. Everyone else's trips are over, except Denise, and hers is just around the corner.
I think for this year. My trip is not till sept. of next year hopefully. I asked you guys not to post to much while i was at work. i work for 2 days and come back to 50+ pages. I am on page 838 have just been skiming pages trying to catch up.

[Tammi67]

General comments/questions - I know the triplets are 5, but on average at what age do kids start losing their teeth? This is one aspect of childhood that totally freaks me out. I am scared of wiggly teeth :eek: !
I think 5 is average. Some say if you get teeth early you lose them early. I can tell you that my DS cut his first tooth at 4 months and will turn 6 in 2 weeks. He has not lost a tooth yet. No signs that they are loosening either. There are quite a few kids in his Kindergarten class that have already lost a few teeth. Needless to say, he is quite discouraged.

[Steamboat Marti]

Me and I'm in withdrawals! I love Edie Falco.

The new season looks promising for Sopranos... my hunka hunka works for Time Warner cable and HBO was in this week and showed them a clip. I'm looking forward to it!!

[Steamboat Marti]

Does anyone have the Magic Kingdom board game? I'm considering getting it for DS's bday :cake: and am looking for some feedback first.

We have it and absolutely love it!! Its a great way to get a good Disney fix for us - and Matt will play all the time if we let him. In fact, he has a friend coming over today. I think they'll play that game!!

I say buy it - it's a cheap way to get a Disney fix!! And fun too!

[Tammi67]

I say buy it - it's a cheap way to get a Disney fix!! And fun too!
I think I will. His bday is Dec. 2 and we leave for WDW on the 17th. It should get us all primed!

[MazdaUK]

Christian nearly lost his first tooth at WDW! he has 2 2nd teeth and one wobbly - the dentist said this is quite early and six is the average, but some don't lose till nearly 7!!

Christian is a bit wussy about wobbly teeth, and leaves them to work lose on their own, rarely wobbling them. Josef on the other hand, got his first wobbly tooth one morning then pulled it out in the bath that night :earseek: :faint: on hearing from DH that the tooth fairy would bring him £1. Like father like son :rotfl: :rotfl:

http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/data/500/73452cropped-thumb.jpg (http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=4922)

I've just washed both DS's t-shirts that I did for Christian's birthday, and the transfers have gone slightly crinkly - not gracked, just scrumpled-looking. Yes an old T of mine, which I put a small tink on (squeezed from Christian's page) as a test has washed up fine

Any ideas? I'm getting nervous about the other T's and pillowcases I need to do ready for St Nicholas.

I've never seen a MK board game - wish we could get it over here ::MickeyMo

[bear74]

whew finally caught up.
Dennise your house looks great i am trying to clean mine today so i can get my tree up next week.
glad to hear the kids are doing great.

[PNO4TE]

Thanks... I think! ;)

[itslisa]

Just give me a date and I'll make a shopping/chick fil a trip to Nashua.

LOL I know there is a NH meeting for "The Mousef or Less" in Nashua the first weekend in Dec. I have been flipping back and forth on going ....

[itslisa]

I ended up transfering to a scrap of material and hand stitching it to my packpack/purse. I was afraid the material would melt while ironing.

Very nice ... unfortunately ... I don't "do" needle and thread. I have a sewing machine .. but I doubt it would go through the fabric.


When I was sewing allthe patches on my son's and my Scout uniforms ... I called my Mother and apologized to her for all the Girl Scout badges she had to sew on!!!!

[itslisa]

I need to do pictures.
Is there a time frame or limit.
What's the link to the ad.
I'm so behind.
Trying to get pictures in albums.

Black Friday ... day after Thanksgiving.
http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/Sales/Store/officedepot

[itslisa]

At the Atlanta Airport, not MCO.


Oh just TOY with me now! ;) Like the pic in the siggie!

[itslisa]

I know it's not Disney, but...

DS is having his birthday party at a bowling alley where they have black lights and fluorescent colored bowling balls. His theme is Star Wars. I want to make a t-shirt for him, but I can't come up with anything. Any creative people out there who can give me some ideas?

I don't have anything with the theme ... but I do have bowling graphics I used fopr a t-shirt for my son's party a couple of years ago. We didn't do goody bags -- I made the shirts instead.

[itslisa]

The backpack was nylon so I thought that it would melt if I iron directly on it, thus I ironed the transfer onto fabric then sewed it on the backpack.

What do you think an iron would do to that "cordura" type fabric????

[itslisa]

It is! It is! We're getting there. Slowly but surely. I think we are the last ones to go. Everyone else's trips are over, except Denise, and hers is just around the corner.


Me too!!! Me too!!!

Three weeks from today!!!

[itslisa]

If you think about it, it really only means that you are older than 5. :sunny:


OK ... but you have to admit ... it's wasn't hard to LOOK at the Wiggles! ;)

[bear74]

kate and amy have fun tonight. what game are you going to play?

[itslisa]

Where did it go? Who knows? I think it is following the same path as the penny! :rotfl:

LOL Congrats on losing the tooth!


If I'd known, I would have gotten him a Disney Dollar from the tooth fairy to spend in 2 weeks.

be careful with the scpecial stuff -- my DS expect the same thing each time. :) I always got a half dollar coin when I was little. I ended up buying a roll of them --they're hidden away.

[itslisa]

BTW, what is the going rate for a tooth?

We give Ben a $1 bill and the Kennedy half dollar. He can spend the $1 -- which he has been saving as "Mickey Money".

[tink2020]

:cheer2: Geaux Tigers, Go Bucks, Roll Tide!! :cheer2:

Yay, thanks for the Bucks rooting! ;) Geaux Tigers and Roll Tide as well :goodvibes

[itslisa]

well, he may lose that next one at WDW! That would be pretty cool if Tink brought him some Disney Dollars! BK's is close too. How did my babies get so big?


Well .. .don't let them watch TV ... my DS was so excited to get one out ... he was trying to tie a string around it and slam the door shut!! For real!!!! He had used dental floss!!!!!!!!!

[itslisa]

BTW, for you experienced moms, did you save their teeth?

Yup ... they're hidden away in my jewelry box :)

[itslisa]

I have a stupid question -

what is the treatment for a broken rib?


DH has a broken rib from the accident in Iraq ... they didn't wrap his at all.

[bear74]

my mom broke or cracked her ribs in a auto accident 2 years ago they did nt wrap her ribs either. they just told her to take it easy take the pain pills and it could take a couple of years for them to heal

[bear74]

where is every body

[my3princes]

LOL I know there is a NH meeting for "The Mousef or Less" in Nashua the first weekend in Dec. I have been flipping back and forth on going ....

I never check out the Mouse for Less so I didn't know about the meet and would probably feel like a fish out of water.

As far as cordura fabric. I guess I can't picture it. Is it like courdoroy? I think that would be fine, if not call a fabric store and find out what materials make up cordura.

Deb

[itslisa]

where is every body

Hey now ... we can't all be here 24 / 7. LOL I'm actually plannign to run to the store in a few. But .. I've just been catching up on mail.

I need to buy my t-shirts this weekend. I found some at Wal-Mart ... but they're Fruit of the Loom ... and for the most part, I stay away from that brand. It always seems to be of a lesser quality. I definitely eed the white shirts to NOT be see through!!!!

[itslisa]

I never check out the Mouse for Less so I didn't know about the meet and would probably feel like a fish out of water.

I think there are only 3 meeting so far .....


As far as cordura fabric. I guess I can't picture it. Is it like courdoroy? I think that would be fine, if not call a fabric store and find out what materials make up cordura.
Hmmm ... not corduroy ... it's "backpack material" but not the nylon bac pack type. It's heavier -- usually waterproof ....

I think I'll check the straps ..... if it's the same fabric ... I can test it there ... without putting a hole in the pack itself. We rarely use that pack these days though ......

[itslisa]

my3princes Looks like the tag fairy needs to update your tag .. since you claimed yourself a milestone!

[bear74]

I was trying to see where i was in over all posts on ths sight and i can not rember where to point my mouse to find out. any body want to help me. TIA.
I know i'm supposed to be cleaning house.

[itslisa]

OK .. I have GOT to share this with other Mommies ......

My son (7.5) is a borderline nudist. My MIl is quite sure he will be later in life! Anyway ... he is constantly taking off his clothes when he is home. It drives my DH nuts. Me, I honesltly don't care. We have finally gotten it into him that *touching* is something private and needs to be in his bedroom.

Anyway ......

Moments ago, Ben walks into the living room ...
DH: Ben, where are your clothes?
Ben: Wait a minute, I'll bring them to you!

Now, perhaps you won't find this funny, but I am ROLLING here listening to his reply. You have to understand it wa NOT meant to be sassy. He was just being matter of fact. :)

I'm still giggling!!!!

Any ideas? I'm getting nervous about the other T's and pillowcases I need to do ready for St Nicholas.

I've never seen a MK board game - wish we could get it over here ::MickeyMo

Did you wash them BEFORE you put the transfers on? T-shirts tend to shrink a little, so that could be why your transfer crinkled.

OH MY !!!!! I just got back from getting my hair done! I have been doing blonde highlites for years, I have brown hair, decided to stay natural and get dark back to my color, well we did mocha, and I am DARK!!! Like I do not know what to think! It is so different that I am just not sure! OK vent over!

[miss missy]

OK .. I have GOT to share this with other Mommies ......

My son (7.5) is a borderline nudist. My MIl is quite sure he will be later in life! Anyway ... he is constantly taking off his clothes when he is home. It drives my DH nuts. Me, I honesltly don't care. We have finally gotten it into him that *touching* is something private and needs to be in his bedroom.

Anyway ......

Moments ago, Ben walks into the living room ...
DH: Ben, where are your clothes?
Ben: Wait a minute, I'll bring them to you!

Now, perhaps you won't find this funny, but I am ROLLING here listening to his reply. You have to understand it wa NOT meant to be sassy. He was just being matter of fact. :)

I'm still giggling!!!!

:rotfl: Kids have many stages, he will grow out of it I am sure! I am sure he will not be naked at his wedding, well maybe after :rotfl: . Really I am with you and giggling

Well, I bet you are gorgeous!

I, too, was a "blonde" with highlights and went darker. Once over the shock, I absolutely love the color I have now, which is basically my real hair color with some highlights. I was getting too washed out with the blonde look so I definitely have noticed a positive difference since I went darker. Give it some time, let the shock wear off :goodvibes -- and I bet you will grow to love it! I know I did! :flower:

[miss missy]

Hey now ... we can't all be here 24 / 7. LOL I'm actually plannign to run to the store in a few. But .. I've just been catching up on mail.

I need to buy my t-shirts this weekend. I found some at Wal-Mart ... but they're Fruit of the Loom ... and for the most part, I stay away from that brand. It always seems to be of a lesser quality. I definitely eed the white shirts to NOT be see through!!!!

Old navy ones are great. I ordered more online for 5.99, but they are getting low in supply of short sleeeves. Shipping is 5.00 all order too!

I am close to tears! MY DH just got home and I am afraid to see the look on his face, and he is easy to please too! I was washed out too and felt the blonde was looking like gray... O I am so scared for him to see me! And my DD! It's really dark! I feel like snowwhite or a witch!

[ksoehrlein]

I don't speak from personal experience, but I believe that browns get lighter after several days. Good luck. I hope you grow to love it!

[miss missy]

OK DH likes it! He thinks he has a "new chick" :rotfl: HA WISH! Now DD is the tell tale. We'll see what she thinks when she gets home from Harry Potter!

Oooh, is he telling??? I'm dying over here!

It's game night. Julia (4?) is going against Kevin (30something?). Should be interesting. They've been trash talking all week :rotfl:

Does anyone have the Magic Kingdom board game? I'm considering getting it for DS's bday :cake: and am looking for some feedback first.

We have it! My DDs are 7 & 4 and they need help with it. I think it would be better for older kids. You basically draw cards of the different attractions that you have to visit. You have to figure out what is the quickest path and visit all of your attractions & get back to the main gate. I like it and it is great to remember your trip but my girls don't usually pick to play it. We love Disney Scene It. It is their favorite game. I am wondering about the Disney bingo game on DVD?

Thanks for the review! I was wondering about it too

[tmfranlk]

I have the Captain Feathersword and my kids could care less about it - it doesn't play right now - but I can check and see if that is b/c the batteries are dead - if it works - it is yours!!! The wiggles have it in their online shop http://www.thewigglesshop.com/product_info.php?products_id=259 - I figured the price with shipping to be about $17 - I also think I saw one at my target recently - I can check next time I am there


Cool, Kate. Let me know. I have the one you posted a link to as my back up if I can't get one of the talking/laughing ones.

[tmfranlk]

I'm going to be 43 when we celebrate at WDW in January... that's chronoligically. Internally I feel like I'm in my 20s

My mom (51) says the same thing! She was just telling me a few weeks ago that she wished she felt even half as young physically as she does internally. She just doesn't seem old enough to have a 29yo DD (oldest, me) and 3 grandkids. She is much more suited to being mom to a 9yo (surprise baby DSis).

[tmfranlk]

I'm so sad and happy at the same time. My Rees is the first tonight for a big, big event...

Notice something missing?
He doesn't care cause the Tooth Fairy is making her first appearance tonight! We had no idea it was that loose. Went to brush his teeth and it had obviously just come out. If I'd known, I would have gotten him a Disney Dollar from the tooth fairy to spend in 2 weeks. I'm so sad that my little boy is really growing up. His other bottom tooth is hanging on barely, so it'll be out soon. BK has one loose. Davis none, and he is MAD 'cause he wasn't first!

Congratulations, Rees!!

Speaking of how much the tooth fairy leaves, I have a friend who learned her lesson about getting the money out before entering the dark room. Apparently the tooth fairy accidently left $20 one night. Her DS woke up the next morning exstatic that he would be getting $20 per tooth. :rotfl:

I have a hair appt. Tues. and I am getting ready to go back to my natural darker color. I do the foiling thing. I have it highlighted to cover the gray, but then I always have to go in for a root job. I don't know which is worse. Every few months I come home with a different color. I either get bored being light and go darker, or I get bored being dark and go lighter. But I do find that the dark lightens drastically with me in about 3 wks.

Ok, I'm never home this early on a Saturday night. Where is everyone?

Deb

[lmartin2711]

I just got home from the Wiggles and Dinner......called my brother to find out about BAMA and AUBURN......AAAGGGGHHHH!!!! I can't believe Auburn beat ya'll. I would have much rather gone against BAMA in the SEC than Auburn. I just can't stand having to go up against them again. I know you must be bummed out over it but ya'll really did have a great season and something to be proud of. Pleeeeease tell me you are pulling for the DAWGS over Auburn in the SEC.

by the way...........How was your Wiggles show?? Ours was great.....Haley and Jake had matching Wiggles shirts and loved it.

Lynn

I am hear......it has been a long day and now I am ready to sit back and relax. We are going to Michigan on Tuesday....we live in Atlanta.....so I am going to pull the suitcases out and start throwing stuff together.

Hi Everyone.
I finally have caught up.
Glad to hear that all the sick kids are better.
Really lovin' the Christmas designs.
I so wish we could have gone @ Christmas time this year.

I love the pictures of MYRA & Family.
She is so cute.

Denise don't worry about the tooth.
DS 26 lost his 1st tooth.
We left a note under his pillow.

[my3princes]

I'm sitting here procrastinating. I am having a birthday party for my 3 sons on Wednesday night for our family. I'm expecting about 50 people. I should be cleaning my house or cooking, but no I'm on here thinking that I'll just get a good jump on it in the am. My Mom took all 3 boys tonight and dh is out in his shop working so it is quiet around here.

Every Bama fan will pull for anybody over Auburn. Go LSU too! If they keep on winning you will face them instead of Aubies! Besides I like Georgia Dawgs anyway!

[julia & nicks mom]

Well I think game night was a HUGE success - final score

Julia - 1
Kevin - 1
the rest of us - 0

we were playing a 3rd game however Kevin and Julia both exhibited unsportsmanlike behavior and the game was suspended -

Kevin believed the answer on the card to be wrong and felt Julia was unfairly awarded 3 spaces - he continued in the game but wanted us to know it was under protest

shortly thereafter - Julia declared her 10 or so space lead was enough to declare herself the winner - (at the time Kevin was in 3rd place) so I will have say that the evening ended in a tie

Julia greeted Kevin at the door and said "You were talking trash to me Kevin!!!" :rotfl:

Alyssa and Nick slowly learned how to co-exist during the evening - Amy told Julia that as they got older we could have sleep overs - I turned to see Nick and Alyssa kissing and hugging :love: - so maybe no sleepovers!! :rotfl:

My kids want to play all their friends in Scene It too because they can beat anyone. It would be fun to let DDA kids play each other.

Tammi, it has kids questions & adult questions. Even my 4 year old can answer alot of the adult questions. The clips are fun too & they have inspired us to watch Disney movies that we haven't seen before.

We make our older 2 answer the adult questions too. They always get the kid questions right. We do however allow the 3 yr old to use the kid cards. It would be fun to put the DDA kids up against each other. They wouldn't know what to do with real competition. :rotfl2:

Okay guys -- need advice. My DS6 is going to be the lead in his class's annual play. He's going to be Bearsie Bear. I just got a note yesterday that I need to find him brown warm-ups and "appropriate" shoes.

Well, I don't remember ever seeing brown children's warm-ups. I guess I could take white and try to dye them, but it would be difficult to get them dark enough brown, evenly without streaks. And as for shoes, what do I do? I pictured him in "bear" feet (sorry, been up since 5 a.m. this morning, running errands all day, so I am a little "goofy"), but I guess that would be kind of gross running around in the school without shoes.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

How hard is the trivia game? I wondered if my DD 7 & 4 would enjoy it.

I am trying to upload my Disney World pictures to winkflash to print. We have only been back almost 5 weeks & I don't have any pictures yet. :confused3 It is taking forever.

Deb -- that is incredibly kind of you! Unfortunately, my son is nothing like me -- he's fairly small, and I think an 8 - 10 would be way too big. He wears a 6 slim. I wouldn't want him to step all over the bottom of it or catch it on something if it's too big. Could you describe what you made him and maybe I could get a local person to make me one?

Doesn't have the third layer of fur like other cats.

I saw some brown children's warm-ups at our K-Mart a couple of days ago. They did not have many though. When my son was in a X'mas play I had to dye white ones and it actually came out real good. I used the Ritz die in the washing machine.

For shoes sometimes you can find house shoes that look like bear claws or that is what I think of when I see them.

Good luck. I am sure you will do a wonderful job with what ever you make.

Anyone play the Disney version of?
Monopoly, Life, Sorry & Trivia.
I love playing these games with DS.
We go back & forward with Trivia.
I always win on the old stuff.
He always wins on the new stuff.

We just got DIsney Monopoly and Sorry.... I love them! We have both disney trivias and those are my favorite!

[tink2020]

We have Disney Monopoly and Trivia. We also have Disney chess/checkers. We play them all, but enjoy the Scene It most. We also have Disney Guesswords and Disney Charades. The charades is had for the kids. You've got to read the word then act it out. It will be more fun when they are all older.

Deb

We have those, too! And the music game (like name that tune). Is this totally sad since we have no kids?! :rotfl:

[dumby]

Game night sounds fun! Maybe I need one here in Helena, AL. It was a Helena resident (ksoehrlein) that linked me here when I questioned her about a birthday shirt. Thanks for starting my addiction.

I am in Decatur. Do you know how far away you are? I am not sure where Helena is. I have heard of it though.

[julia & nicks mom]

So glad you all got to have your game night! I"ll be there for round two .... but I don't trash talk very much, so tell Julia to take it easy on me! :rotfl:


Actually - it wasn't Julia who was trash talking - she told Kevin they could both win - it was the 34 yo who started trash talking to a 4 yo!!!

[dumby]

Julie and Kate the T-shirts look great as did the kiddies in them. I love the disney plate.

Glad you all had a successful game night. Sounds like fun.

[tink2020]

Actually - it wasn't Julia who was trash talking - she told Kevin they could both win - it was the 34 yo who started trash talking to a 4 yo!!!

Now Kevin! :rotfl:

Ok, well then Amy -- keep Kevin in check. I REALLY don't know how well I'd take an adult trash talking ;)

I'm competetive enough, but I suppose I'm more the silent type.

Mostly because I hate to hear about it if I lose! :rotfl2:

[tink2020]

Our apartment is empty! :teeth:

Can't walk around the house at all becasue of all the stuff.... and it will take me a million years to put it away in between interview trips...

...but we got a lot done this afternoon!

And what an exciting OSU vs Michigan game! :goodvibes

[WeLoveTheMouse]

I am in Decatur. Do you know how far away you are? I am not sure where Helena is. I have heard of it though.


It is about 1 and 1/2 hours. Helena is about 20 miles south of downtown Birmingham. We used to have good friends that lived in Decatur so I spent a good bit of time visiting there.

[KMH1]

Well I think game night was a HUGE success - final score

Julia - 1
Kevin - 1
the rest of us - 0

we were playing a 3rd game however Kevin and Julia both exhibited unsportsmanlike behavior and the game was suspended -

Kevin believed the answer on the card to be wrong and felt Julia was unfairly awarded 3 spaces - he continued in the game but wanted us to know it was under protest

shortly thereafter - Julia declared her 10 or so space lead was enough to declare herself the winner - (at the time Kevin was in 3rd place) so I will have say that the evening ended in a tie

Julia greeted Kevin at the door and said "You were talking trash to me Kevin!!!" :rotfl:

Alyssa and Nick slowly learned how to co-exist during the evening - Amy told Julia that as they got older we could have sleep overs - I turned to see Nick and Alyssa kissing and hugging :love: - so maybe no sleepovers!! :rotfl:

UNSPORTSMANLIKE!?!?!? Is asking for an instant replay unsportsmanlike? Is requiring that trivia questions actually contain the correct answers unsportsmanlike? Is making sure the rules are followed correctly by all parties unsportsmanlike? No wonder Alyssa's first word upon entering the car to return home was "cheat." :rotfl:

Besides, I was on a roll when young Julia decided that game night was over. I was coming from behind and FAST! I will accept a tie, this time, but a rematch will be had.

Despite the controversy, it was a pleasant evening. And the amorous ones will have to be watched very closely as they grow up.

Now, it is obviously well past my usual bedtime so I must say, "Goodnight."

--Kevin

[my3princes]

Deb -- that is incredibly kind of you! Unfortunately, my son is nothing like me -- he's fairly small, and I think an 8 - 10 would be way too big. He wears a 6 slim. I wouldn't want him to step all over the bottom of it or catch it on something if it's too big. Could you describe what you made him and maybe I could get a local person to make me one?

The second photo if of the mittens and shoe covers that goes with it. I also have a Pooh costume, but I think that is size 4-5.

I think that if you click on the photo it will link to a larger photo. I'm experimenting with adding my photos using the link under the smilies.

:rotfl:

I couldn't let my poor sweet angel take ALL the blame for the suspension of the game now could I? She obviously saw your ploy to cast a pall upon the game so that when you lost - her victory would be tainted!!

although I have to admit - the card was wrong!!!

Please come over for game night but leave your cat and doggy at home (sorry Amy - she is terrified you might bring them with you - I might have to get a dog so she quits being such a chicken about it - although then I would have to buy stock in claritin!! )

I hope you get this message! I will see you for game night!

Actually - it wasn't Julia who was trash talking - she told Kevin they could both win - it was the 34 yo who started trash talking to a 4 yo!!!

glad to hear game night was somwhat a success. I never heard what game you were going to play was it disney scene it or trivia.
Kevin even though she might have started the trash talk :teeth: you should be an adult an ignore it. :rotfl2: :rotfl:
Okay Im off to bed got to work in the AM try not to post over 20 pages tonight. LOL :rotfl:

[tink2020]

Kevin even though she might have started the trash talk :teeth: you should be an adult an ignore it. :rotfl2: :rotfl:



I dont know.... like I said, I'm not one for trash talking. But I think that if the little guys and gals play with the big ones, then they are on their own. That's how my parents were with me and my sister.... they NEVER let us win!

Now -- if Julia beats Kevin fairly (since there are definitely kids questions and adult questions) then she can rub it in... but if Kevin wins, I think he can give it right back :rotfl:

What a sight that would have been! :rotfl2: Hope you all had fun overall ;)

[julia & nicks mom]

Kevin is very clever in that he had Amy pm me the trash talk!!! Julia just responded that Kevin would not win when I told her he said she would!! :rotfl:

She did tell you yesterday that you could both win at game night! I might add that she is very happy that tonight ended in a tie - she did not want either of you to walk away sad!!!

Oh - and I think Julia might have a little crush on Kevin - when she got her Christmas dress this week - she asked if she could show it off at game night - when I said yes - her answer was "Kevin will think I look so pretty!!!"

[tink2020]

She did tell you yesterday that you could both win at game night! I might add that she is very happy that tonight ended in a tie - she did not want either of you to walk away sad!!!

That's very sweet :) I remember playing Sorry with my sister when she was very young and she cried when she landed on my piece and I had to go back to start.... she didn't want to play anymore! :rotfl2:

[ReAnSt]

The really expensive teeth are the ones that need to be pulled by the dentist or surgically removed. Not only are you paying the dentist or surgeon to remove them but you gotta pay for the tooth fairy money too.

Kate, I have no idea about the finger sucking for nick. Although the first time I saw him doing that in your picture in your signature, it reminded me of one of my friends from college who still does that. :earseek: Always when she is concentrating or stressed both her middle and forefinger are in her mouth. So I don't have any ideas for you. I hope that he breaks his habit before he is in his 20's though.

Obviously, my honor has been restored. I know nothing of these so called PMs from my DW. ;)

I must admit, that young Julia is a very gracious winner and loser. It was a pleasure to play against a true competitor. I look forward to the rematch.

I totally understand that. My Nick had 5 teeth pulled at once. Ouch!! not the teeth pulling, but paying the dentist and the tooth fairy. I our house pulled teeth seem to get a little more $$ then the ones that fall out on their own. I guess you could call it compensation for pain and suffering.

[KMH1]

We played two games of a really cool Disney card game that I cannot recall the name of. Hopefully Kate can reply. We then had the interrupted game of the Disney Wonderful World of Music Game. Fun had by all.

--Kevin

[my3princes]

Kevin, we're you going to bed like an hour ago?

I have to tell you that my db's name is Kevin and his wife is Amy. My oldest son walked by the computer the other day and saw your signature with the names Kevin, Amy and Alyssa. He said "I didn't know that buddy is on the computer with you", but who is Alyssa :rotfl: I guess it is a small world. For future reference as Amy noted earlier that she is not pregnant yet, their kids are named Summer and Logan. If you had another child and named him/her Summer or Logan you would totally confuse my son.

Deb

[julia & nicks mom]

The first game was called Disney Group Photo - we got it at Once Upon a Toy

etoys sells it - I wonder if you could get it at KB toys or toys r us

http://www.etoys.com/genProduct.html/PID/4114039/ctid/17?cpncode=11-2689385-2&srccode=cii_1038957

it is a pretty fun game!!

I've seen other Group Photo games (simpsons, etc) at KB but I had never seen a Disney one! I guess I need it now ;)

[tink2020]

Well, it's off to bed for me! After getting in town this morning and working at the apartment (straight up until 10:30 or 11:00), I remembered whenI got home TONIGHT, about my tests on Monday.

Denise - can I stow away to Disney when you go? That sounds better than finishing out my few weeks here!

Kate - I don't think I mentioned it, but your Mickey plate is adorable!

[CheriePenguin]

Well I finally finished ironing all my T-shirts and my Disney Mom bag ! :smooth:

And we're now down to single digits on our trip countdown ! :cool1:

Most of the shirts turned out pretty well. I used Avery light (for white) and dark (for colors) transfers, and ironed them on top of my dryer.

My very first shirt transfer (light) got yellowed a bit at one edge because I went over it too much with the iron when I thought it wasn't sticking. And all the white shirts ended up with a few little dark fuzzies in them - wish I had read the note about using a lint brush! I didn't see any fuzz on them prior to ironing.

My Disney Mom bag initially turned out great - though the light transfers aren't as clear as the dark ones, plus the texture on the bag made it slightly fuzzier as well. But I of course couldn't leave well enough alone, and decided to add two more smaller images, and in the process must have touched the design with the iron and smudged it a bit - not too bad, but a bummer.

I used Kate's "Walt Disney World" with block lettering and the characters on the back of the bag and on the back of DS's white shirt.

I used Denise's "4 Parks" design (I just added the names of the parks to it) on white shirts for me, DH, and DS.

I tweaked someone's (Kate's?) "Dreaming of a Disney Christmas" Pooh design, and also included some of Kate's Disney ornaments, on a red shirt for DS.

I used Kate's Santa Mickey MVMCP 2005 design on a green shirt for DS.

I made a custom MVMCP design on a lime green shirt for myself - meant to put Kate's "Snow Lumpy" design on the back, but miscalculated and ran out of transfers!

I put my Disney Mom design on a navy blue shirt too, with that cool 3-D Mickey head with the clouds (can't recall who designed that one) on the back.

And I made a Pluto shirt to replace an old one I had that I always called my "Lusty Dog" shirt - since Pluto's tongue was hanging out! :goodvibes

I also put a Chip & Dale clip onto the pocket of a long sleeve maroon T-shirt.


You can see photos of most of the shirts and bag at my photosite:
http://cheriepenguin.photosite.com/DisneyShirts/


Busy, Busy, Busy now trying to finish getting ready for the trip and the holidays - so I haven't been able to keep up much on the boards anymore.

Thanks for all the cool designs and ideas ! Maybe I'll run into a few of you while at WDW !

[dumby]

cheripenguin you shirts look great and so does the bag. Hope you all have a great trip. Make sure to take lots of pictures to share with us when you get home.

[disneyeveryyear]

Wow!

I was gone for a little over a week and had 100+ pages to catch up!

I didn't take notes, and don't know where to start.

Denise - house looks great, kids look great, glad surgeries went well.

MissMissy - if you have anymore questions about bad pap - pre-cancerous, etc., send me a pm. I can answer questions about this and more.

Kate, Amy, Kevin, Alyssa, Nick and Julia - glad to know tonight was a big success. Hope you can make a lasting friendship out of this! Not sure what to call this - not really internet dating, but close.

We had a great trip! Everyone who had given me grief about matching t-shirts sure preened with all of the attention we received. When repeatedly asked where we got the t-shirts, everyone replied "we made them". Obviously this was a royal "we", because I don't remember anyone up tie-dying with me and DD, or ironing for an hour on end. Oh well, glad to know they were proud of them! I have packed them up into zippy bags for our trip next year. Have 3 already done, can think if we want to add any by then.

I think I saw one of the DDA designs on the TTA Tuesday, it was a large group, but I couldn't get close enough to ask them.

It's bedtime now, it took me almost 5 hours to get caught up, but glad all are feeling better now.

[Steamboat Marti]

Welcome back !! Now lets see some pictures!!!

[miss missy]

I have a hair appt. Tues. and I am getting ready to go back to my natural darker color. I do the foiling thing. I have it highlighted to cover the gray, but then I always have to go in for a root job. I don't know which is worse. Every few months I come home with a different color. I either get bored being light and go darker, or I get bored being dark and go lighter. But I do find that the dark lightens drastically with me in about 3 wks.
Thanks! My DD says it makes me look younger... I dunno, I just hope it lightens some!

[miss missy]

Well I think game night was a HUGE success - final score

Julia - 1

Welcome home! :love:

[lmartin2711]

WOW, Saturday night was an early night for everyone. Kate......the shirts look great as usual. The kids are adorable......was that a "potty seat" I saw Alyssa sitting on.....I mean I know she wasn't using the potty seat just sitting on it......I don't want the "poop patrol" to get on to me. Where did you purchase your Mickey plate?? I love it!!

Lynn

[bengalbelle]

I just got home from the Wiggles and Dinner......called my brother to find out about BAMA and AUBURN......AAAGGGGHHHH!!!! I can't believe Auburn beat ya'll. I would have much rather gone against BAMA in the SEC than Auburn. I just can't stand having to go up against them again. I know you must be bummed out over it but ya'll really did have a great season and something to be proud of. Pleeeeease tell me you are pulling for the DAWGS over Auburn in the SEC.

by the way...........How was your Wiggles show?? Ours was great.....Haley and Jake had matching Wiggles shirts and loved it.

Lynn
Unless LSU loses to Arkansas next week (and they shouldn't), LSU will be playing Georgia in the championship. The only reason they "look" behind Auburn when you see the standings on TV is because Auburn has played one more game than us. Things will even out next week.

[itslisa]

It's game night. Julia (4?) is going against Kevin (30something?). Should be interesting. They've been trash talking all week :rotfl:


Doh -- I KNEW it was game night too!!!

[itslisa]

All 5 of us love this game. It is what we always play on game night. The kids like to play it when they have friends over because they know that no one can beat them. They are disney addicts just like mom and dad.


Tell me more -- is it a DVD game? And boys like it too? Is it about the movies or the parks???

[itslisa]

Well I think game night was a HUGE success


Oh my gosh .... what a night! :)

[itslisa]

Of course game night would not have been complete without shirts - so I made the kids these shirts!


What GREAT shirts!!!!! And I love your plate! NO! You are NOT a dork!

[tink2020]

Tell me more -- is it a DVD game? And boys like it too? Is it about the movies or the parks???

Scene It came out a few years ago. It's DVD game with a board component. The original had clips from various movies, whereas the Disney one obviously has Disney clips (very recent and also Old Yeller, Apple Dumpling Gang, etc (older Disney movies). They also now have TV (both general and certain TV series) the WB, Turner Classic Movies, Music, Sports, etc.

As far as the board goes, you can get trivia questions (off of included cards), or 'My Play' or 'All Play'. My Play is a clip from a movie and a question that follows (on the TV screen). All Play are usually word puzzles, rebuses, "who's missing from this picture", "ID the movie from these pictures", etc.... no clips involved.
There are a few more rules towards the end, but that's the general idea :rotfl:

We bought Scene It for my BIL a few years ago, and the entire family LOVES it! I think between a few of us we have about 6 of them.

www.sceneit.com is the website :)

Well, another day in the never-ending saga.....

I have too much to do to chat (have I said that before? :rotfl2: )

Yell if I'm on here for more than a minute or two today!!!! DH is putting stuff away all day (supposedly;)) so I can cram for two exams... and I haven't had time to read for class in over a week! : :headache:

[itslisa]

And as for shoes, what do I do? I pictured him in "bear" feet
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!


What about thos big slippers they sell? Maybe there are bear ones?

[itslisa]

UNSPORTSMANLIKE!?!?!?

Is requiring that trivia questions actually contain the correct answers unsportsmanlike? --Kevin

OK ... I have GOT to know ... what was the question? And what was the given answer?

[itslisa]

Oh - and I think Julia might have a little crush on Kevin - when she got her Christmas dress this week - she asked if she could show it off at game night - when I said yes - her answer was "Kevin will think I look so pretty!!!"

A LITTLE crush? Ya think?????? :lovestruc

GORGEOUS!

[tmfranlk]

disneyeveryyear - Welcome back! we want pictures!!! Did you get to see any Christmas decorations/parades/etc before heading home? If so I'd love a preview. Even the THREE days we have left are too many.

cheriepenguin - your shirts look great. I had to come to the difficult decision yesterday that I simply wasn't going to be able to get our shirts done by Wednesday morning and returned my supplies in exchange for more Disney spending money. That just means I have a year to get them made for next year! :)

tink2020 - good luck with your exams! Get studying!!! You can do it!!!

itslisa - I'm with you, I'm dying to know what the disputed question was on game night.

Well, we just got back from the laundrymat. That crosses off the first of many things that have to be done before we leave on Wednesday morning. Terra and I are getting ready to pull out the suitcases so that we can put the clean clothes staight into them. If I don't, Terra will end up wearing them all before we leave. If you don't watch out, she'll change clothes 4 times a day. It wouldn't be too much of a problem is we didn't have to walk 1/2 mile to the laundrymat.

Is this something you made from a previous trip? Or something you purchased???

[tmfranlk]

Is this something you made from a previous trip? Or something you purchased???

I bought a whole series of DVDs (all home videos, but pretty well done) from a guy off ebay. I think it was a total of about 15 DVDs and includes all 4 current parades plus the old Epcot Tapestry of Dreams, Wishes, Illuminations, a bunch of retired rides and several stage shows (mostly older ones). There is also a tour of DLParis and some other random things. Fantasmic is on a DVD that someone on the Mouseforless sent me when making me a copy of his Small World video for Terra. I also have a few DVDs that a friend made form VHS that has the Main Street Electrical Parade.

I would love to make more videos on this trip, but I don't think that will happen for a few more years. Since I almost always travel alone with Terra it doesn't leave much attention for filming as well. My goal is to do it when we take our big family trip (my whole family) in May 2007.

[legalslave]

Where's Denise? She hasn't been on at all today and not yesterday (at least not much). I hope the kids are all okay.

[ksoehrlein]

Game night sounds fun! Maybe I need one here in Helena, AL. It was a Helena resident (ksoehrlein) that linked me here when I questioned her about a birthday shirt. Thanks for starting my addiction.
Hi there, WeLoveTheMouse! Glad to see you've been keeping up with this thread.

I guess we'll have to hang out at the Galleria Disney Store until one of us stalks the other! That's how Kate and Amy met. Or I guess we could PM and e-mail. It would be fun to meet in person.

[Tammi67]

Of course game night would not have been complete without shirts - so I made the kids these shirts!

here they are in their shirts

we are so glad that we live close enough to Amy and Kevin for game night!!!!! I hope there will be many more to come!!!!
Kate - The shirts came out great! Where did you get the t-shirts? They look like nice ones. You are lucky that you have DDA buddies to socialize with.

[Tammi67]

Tammi67 -- my oldest son will turn 10 on December 2nd. I can't remember -- how old will your son be?

Duh -- just saw he is turning 6. His birthday is coming up soon -- hope it's a great one!
Happy bday to him!

[JnEsWDWMom]

Just wanted to come out of lurkdom to say thanks to Kate! I gave my niece her Sweet Dreams Princess Grace matching nightshirt and pillowcase last night for her birthday and they were a big hit! Thanks so much for the design, Kate! Hoping to get the birthday shirt and trip shirts done this week. We leave in fourteen days!!! Yeah! Hope everyone is doing well.

[my3princes]

Tell me more -- is it a DVD game? And boys like it too? Is it about the movies or the parks???

It is a dvd game. The boys love it. Questions about disney movies, theme parks, music. It is a lot of fun.

She left BEFORE we got our new board!!!

DEB: I got the kids shirts at walmart for 2.47 - I think they are pretty nice - they are the walmart brand - have to go get more today b/c Julia wants a princess christmas shirt

The question was:

are these the lyrics to this song:
Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam

and the song played was A pirate's life for me

and the answer said true:

the lyrics are actually from the song Arabian Nights from Aladin - which Kevin knew

Yeah, that's definitely wrong! :rotfl:

ETA: did whoever entered it for sure push the right buttons to get the song to play? we've done that before.... entered the wrong "code" and had the wrong song play (which would obviously affect the answer on the card)

Hi there, I am ordering shirts to put my disney design on for our upcoming trip. (By the way thank you so much julia & nicks mom, I love it) I am giving the shirts as Christmas presents. My question is, do you think the guys would wear lime green shirts or should i just get white?

[Blueeyes101817]

I need to check on this thread more often..it takes me sooo long to catch up!!

[disneyeveryyear]

disneyeveryyear - Welcome back! we want pictures!!! Did you get to see any Christmas decorations/parades/etc before heading home? If so I'd love a preview. Even the THREE days we have left are too many.

Christmas was beginning to happen in quite a few different places.

MK - Christmas decorations are up on Main Street. I love the garland they use. As of right now, the main tree is set up down by the castle hub. We heard it was due to the parade, and other reasons, but it will supposedly be moved back to the train station circle soon. They are also playing Christmas carols on the Main Street speakers. The 3:00 parade is the regular snowglobe parade. I don't think they start doing the Christmas parade until MVMCP is finished.

EPCOT - Christmas decorations up in front of SP with poinsettias, etc. The walkway to WS is covered in lights. The entrance to WS has the big tree all lit and beautiful. Most of the countries don't have too much up yet for Christmas, but the American pavillion had the huge gingerbread house in the restaurant, and a tree outside. They were setting up for the CP when we were there Thursday night. Illuminations is as usual.

AK - Big tree out front with the beautiful animal ornaments. We saw Jingle Jangle Jungle Parade. It was fun to watch. Lots of Christmas carols being sung.

MGM - really decked out for Christmas. We were there Monday the 14th for the inaugural Holly Days Stars n Cars Motor Parade (or whatever it is called). It was really cute and very Christmassy. The big guy was even present in the last float. The Osobrne Festival of Lights also started on the 14th. We walked through it after Fantasmic and enjoyed it snowing in Floriday. DD6 saw Santa Goofy and Pluto back there. The park is also decorated with trees, etc.

We stayed at OKW, and it was midweek before we saw some garland go up on light poles, and the lobby still wasn't decorated when we left on Friday a.m. We ate at WCC in the WL on Sunday night and they weren't decorated yet either.

I am going to download some pictures so I'll be able to add some soon!

Thanks for the update! We can't wait. I do have to admit that I was disappointed that the parades were changing over so early. Terra's favorite parade is the Jammin' Jungle Parade. I was hoping that she would get to see the regular one the first few days that we are there and the Christmas one later in the week. Oh well, she likes the animal puppets most so those should at least be the same.

I'll look forward to seeing your pictures.

[MazdaUK]

Did you wash them BEFORE you put the transfers on? T-shirts tend to shrink a little, so that could be why your transfer crinkled.

Yes, I washed and ireoned the T-shirts before I put the transfers on. They are only cheap Primark ones - £1.50 for Christian and £2.50 for Josef. perhaps I should buy dearer ones next time.

[lmartin2711]

Unless LSU loses to Arkansas next week (and they shouldn't), LSU will be playing Georgia in the championship. The only reason they "look" behind Auburn when you see the standings on TV is because Auburn has played one more game than us. Things will even out next week.


I feel certain that ya'll can beat Arkansas. That is a defenite. I would like to know from Denise that if the SEC is UGA and LSU who she is going to pull for. Let us know Denise??

[CheriePenguin]

Thanks Dumby and Tmfranlk for your comments on my shirts and Disney Mom bag! :)

I will definitely take lots of pictures, and hopefully be able to post some once we get back.

Tmfranlk - maybe we'll run into each other down in WDW ?! We'll be there Nov 28 - Dec 5.

I spent 3 more hours outside putting up Christmas Decorations this afternoon. We had a beautiful day here, temps in the high 50s and the sun was shining. I still have some more decorations to put up outside and all the candles in the windows, but I took a few photos of what I've done so far.

If you click on them a larger photo comes up.
The third photo has a blow up Santa sitting on an igloo and the candy canes to either side, very blurry.
Some are blurry, I can't seem to not move when taking them. I guess I need a tripod. I will take better photos once I finish decorating.

Oh yeah, I also got all the bedrooms completely cleaned for the birthday party. I feel like I actually accomplished something today.

You were really busy today! It was a gorgeous day here with highs in the low 60s. Beautiful day, but I was inside making my Mom's recipe for Chex Snax Mix from the 1950s. One thing crossed of my holiday list. Oh, and I finished my Christmas shopping this week too! Now, on to the Scotch Shortbreads and then I am done with cooking for Christmas. Of course, our DDs are both coming home for Thanksgiving, so there will be that kind of cooking this week!

It really was kind of a whirlwind, potentially pointless, definitely unneccessary few days of drama. I'm sure you can find out more on this thread or the craft board, but we're not talking about it anymore :rotfl:

Denise's kids had surgery (replacing tubes in their ears) on Thursday. All three of them. Rees also lost a tooth.

Um.. some new designs were made. Kate, Amy and their families had a game night.

Virtually everyone was sick.

I'll be back later. Busy weekend, but do you notice something new in my siggie? Looks like I'm having some luck with DH after all! :cool1:

Going Oct 18-22. Want to do MNSSHP one night This needs to be CHEAP (we're cancelling our summer trip to Hilton Head to save money). Thinking a wing room at the CR would work great. Any other suggestions for resorts? Would the BC/YC be great for SAB? I don't know if he'll go for the $$ though. I told him we'll have the tickets covered (they're left over from this trip). So it'll just be the room, food, and driving down.

Oh, and this opens me up for a whole new range of t-shirts! And costume ideas. Deb, bring on the ideas!

Denise,

We are going Sept 30 -Oct 9!!! We did MNSSHP this Oct & it was sooooo much fun we are doing it again. Your kids are going to love it!!! (& you too!!!)
My DH & I wore orange shirts that were made from here & I got alot of people asking me if that was the official mnsshp shirt & where could they get it! Halloween is a great time to go.

Deb,

Love the decorations, thanks for posting the pictures!

The Food and Wine Festival is also going on then and BC/YC would be ideal for walking into Epcot to sample the wares! A wing room in CR would be very convenient for MNSSHP, though. Decisions, decisions! How fun :teeth:

I do have a question for you all. We could go earlier (for value season) and the kids miss 3 full days of Kindergarten. Or go Oct 18-22 when the kids have 3 half-days for teacher conferences. That means I'd have to schedule their conferences for a different time.

Since they've never been in public school before, is it better to miss 3 full regular days or 3 half-days which means I'd mean the conferences? which ones would the teachers be happier I chose?

As a teacher... :goodvibes ... I would say they would probably rather you did not go at all! BUT, we know you will. Conferences can be rescheduled easily. So I would opt for those half days. Unless there is a terrific difference in price between Value Season and any specials they might be running.

It only costs me $200 for us to go in regular season vs value. I was thinking they wouldn't be doing as much those half days anyway. Just didn't know how big a deal parent conferences are.

Thanks!

At our schools they are important, but can be scheduled any time. I would ask around to see if any neighborhood friends have input about these. I agree that there would not be a lot going on those half days in kindergarten.

I have time to be on here tonight and no one else is here (except Denise) and we are approaching the 13,000 post. I may have to post memos to myself and get that post without any hoopla!

I'll be back later. Busy weekend, but do you notice something new in my siggie? Looks like I'm having some luck with DH after all! :cool1:

Going Oct 18-22. Want to do MNSSHP one night This needs to be CHEAP (we're cancelling our summer trip to Hilton Head to save money). Thinking a wing room at the CR would work great. Any other suggestions for resorts? Would the BC/YC be great for SAB? I don't know if he'll go for the $$ though. I told him we'll have the tickets covered (they're left over from this trip). So it'll just be the room, food, and driving down.

Oh, and this opens me up for a whole new range of t-shirts! And costume ideas. Deb, bring on the ideas!
Denise don't pass up the MNSSHP.
We had the most fun.
I'm hoping they have it 9/30/6.
That's my 50th B-Day.
The kids will love it.
I think the 3 Musketters would be cute.
Or maybe Woody, Buzz, Jesse.
I also think the Mary Poppins penquins would be cute.
