Denise - I believe you are avoiding the question

what did your doctor tell you?

You look adorable in your pictures - as do your kids!!

[Blueeyes101817]

I love all of the pictures of the Halloween kiddies!!! we dont get any trick or treaters here so this is good!!

Denise--Hope you are feeling better

You guys post so much that i have to read a ton to catch up :)

Denise - I believe you are avoiding the question

I didn't go. What's the saying Physician heal thyself? Had so much to do today that I didn't have time. I'm using my old inhalers, and feeling a little better (as evidenced by the picture!)

Welcome to the Boards Julia!!! We can't wait to see more!!

[julia & nicks mom]

Welcome to the Boards Julia!!! We can't wait to see more!!


Marti - I didn't realize you speak fluent Julia!! :rotfl:

for those of you who don't here is a translation:

Brantley-Kate: Thank you for sending me stuff at WDW - I love it! You look beautiful in your Ariel costume! I love you very much!

Alyssa: I miss you and love you very much! I want to come to your house (turns to mommy - "wait does she have a dog" "yes" - "does she have a cat?" "yes") continues typing - I would like you to come visit me at my house!

Julia (who was one - then two - then 3 and now 4!)

(those are the actual words she told me she was typing!!!)

So, did everyone have a good Halloween? I hope you all got lots of treats.

[julia & nicks mom]

Disneyeveryyear - I will have to respectfully disagree with you!! :rotfl:

this is the cutest Buzz Lightyear I saw tonight!! Although yours is a very tight second!!

Why is Julia always strangling poor Nick??

[julia & nicks mom]

Why is Julia always strangling poor Nick??

:rotfl: I know it appears that way -

usually she is doing one of two things - trying to make him stay in the picture (which is rare b/c he is a total ham!!!)

or normally she is hugging him!!!

[karebear1]

Why is Julia always strangling poor Nick??


:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I thought the very same thing!!
Although, I must say I firgured she was only loving him! ;)

[my3princes]

We did a safe trick or treat at a local mini mall then did some trick or treating in the neighborhood. You have already seen my kids in their costumes. I have to tell you that since we did the MNSSHP twice they weren't really into trick or treating tonight. I felt like we were forcing them, but thought they'd feel out of place at school tomorrow when all their friends are talking about what they did last night.

Deb

[PNO4TE]

Since my two DDs live away from home and their costumes might not be "G" rated :rotfl: I decided to post some from my classes today. We had a ball!!

what a great costume!!!

the one year I went to a Halloween party in a less than family friendly costume - I got hit on more than you can believe (everywhere I went!!) it was a lot of fun to play that part - but was so sad that accentuating my accents got so much more attention than I normally did!!! But a lot of fun!!!

also - do you ever have times when someone's screen name just clicks with you? seeing your pictures did that for me!!

[Steamboat Marti]

I've promised these since our trip a couple of weeks ago. I went as the same thing today...

I love the rest of the pictures everybody is posting...keep 'em coming!!!

[CheriePenguin]

Thanks for the kind words on our cow costumes photo! (Disneyeveryyear, Steamboat Marti, Tink2020, and all) Still haven't figured out how to make it smaller in the post.

All the other kiddies were so cute too! And the pumpkins look awesome! I found those Huggies pumpkin templates, but we didn't end up carving ours (was going to do Cinderella's mice).

Triplefigs - your whole family looks awesome all decked out for Trick-or-Treat!

Tammi67 - I thought Peter Pan and Cinderella looked exceptionally cute!

Julia & Nicks Mom - Julia's post was just TOO cute! (and Julia and Nick's costumes are too)

Disneyeveryyear - love Buzz's snazzy glasses!

We always have Trick-or-Treat Sunday, usually in the afternoon, though some communities have been moving it to evening. Ours was evening, so we went to my Mom's for just a few houses (and of course Grandma's house) Sunday.

I finally bought some T-shirt transfer papers (Avery - some light, some dark). Didn't get a particularly good deal, so just got a small pack of each to try.

We have another short family visit trip this weekend, then just 3 weeks till Disney! :bounce: Hope I can at least finish my "Disney Mom" bag and shirt. And I was working on a variation of the "Dreaming of a Disney Christmas" - I think it was Kate's design. Plus I'd like to do a Mickey Mouse 1st trip shirt for DS, and some others, but I'll see how far I get and how they turn out!

I bought lots of shirts, and may buy more and make some as Christmas gifts too. It might be fun to do them when we get back to keep some of the Disney magic alive.

what a great costume!!!

also - do you ever have times when someone's screen name just clicks with you? seeing your pictures did that for me!!

Kate -- Thanks! :wizard: The hat, gloves and shoes/slippers were purchased at WDW, of course. But the robe was made by the mother of one of my students! She saw the one I had made of plain red poplin and said I needed a grander one than that. Wasn't that thoughtful?!? :love:

As for my screen name... I can thank DH for that. 15 years ago when we were starting with AOL I wanted something other than my first initial and last name. He decided to play around with what I do for a living and came up with the "pianoforte" idea. Mr. Smarty Pants, isnt' he? :rotfl:

Love all the new pictures! We're trying to schedule flights, hotels, etc to like 12 places in 3 months (and waiting on 9 more!) ...... so I'm pulling my hair out and won't be on much tonight! :crazy:

Eat some candy for me!!!

Elin - looks like you had a lot of fun with your students (sorry I didn't post your pictures but this post is getting way too long!) Lots of superheroes, do they have superpiano skills too?

Marti - great costume! P.S. I love your new signature photos!

Momof2OH - I look forward to your photos tomorrow. I have loved looking at all of these tonight.

Here's my little pirate:
http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/data/500/78718pirate_2-med.JPG Bengalbelle - your pirate looks great - must have been warm today, I see that he is barefoot! Her "shades" are a pair of "spyglasses" that we had in the gift closet, but were a lot cheaper than Buzz's actual goggles.

http://www.wdwinfo.com/photopost/data/500/32871DalmationTrickTreat.jpg Amy - Alyssa is the cutest puppy! I love the fact that you all dressed up. That is so wonderful. She will hae these memories forever (keep the pictures). P.S. Love your new signature! Tell Kevin he did a great job with it.

GREAT Halloween Pics!! Everyone looks fantastic! :)

Amy - what does the back of Alyssa's bag say? It looks like there may be something cute back there.

[Tinkaroo]

Hi, guys!! Happy last few minutes of Halloween to all of you! It looks like everyone has been busy - hope you had fun tonight!

I'm writing with a "challenge" for someone. I purchased a Tinkberbell sweatsuit at the WOD store in DTD last month - it's gray/pink reversible, with a small pink Tinkerbell sewn to the right breast of the jacket.

The challenge - I didn't like the shirts they were selling to compliment the sweatsuit, and would like to wear just a white or light gray t-shirt underneath the suit with the same Tink (just her silhouette in pink) a little bigger in the center of the tee.

Anyone want to take a shot at this? I realize it might be a tall order, and I have no idea how to go about it. I found the following on Disneyshopping.com - it has the same Tink on the bag and eyemask that my sweatsuit does: http://disneyshopping.go.com/DSSectionPage.process?Merchant_Id=2&Section_Id=14735&Product_Id=190659

TIA if anyone is brave/willing to try!!!!!!

Slightly off topic -- but since when has that stopped us -- has anyone tried using the Mosaic programs that are out there?? That's where you input your pictures and they create a larger image. I downloaded one and I want to try it out - has anybody done this? How hard is it to use, especially for the computer challenged???

I have used one before - it was andreamosaic - I think it is really easy and that you don't need a lot of computer knowledge to do it!

[Steamboat Marti]

That's the one I downloaded. I printed out the pdf file so that I can read while I'm not on the computer. Are there any tricks? Any advice before I start? What would you recommend as the main picture??

[rosiejo]

Why is Julia always strangling poor Nick??

:rotfl: you took the words right out of my mouth! - Love the frankenstein tigger where did you get that from? I have a mini beanie tigger dressed as a mummy :goodvibes

Great pictures guys - Amy you all look adorable esp Alyssa - and I love your new sig pictures. Denise - I finally get to see what you look like :0) Great costume!

We only had one knock on the door last night - 2 kids with a pumpkin bucket, no costume! Only gave them some sweets as they're my neighbours kids and we know them :rotfl: I'd completely forgotten it was halloween and had to go hunting through the drawer for some chocolate!

Maryjeanne - your shirts turned out great - and those kids are so cute - have a great trip :goodvibes

The DDA do have some really cute kids :goodvibes

Here's my little



He looks great!





Tammi67 - I thought Peter Pan and Cinderella looked exceptionally cute!



Thank you. I thought so too, but of course I am biased.


Kevin & Amy - you all look adorable. Alyssa is too cute!

[Tammi67]

Hey Deb -
I am patiently waiting for installment #3 on the trip report.....:rolleyes1

[PNO4TE]

disneyeveryear - ALL of my students are superpiano players too. :rotfl:

[KMH1]

I love everyone's pictures and costumes!

Thanks for the compliments everyone! And don't worry, I won't have to tell Kevin that you like our new signature, because he lurks at work! :teeth:


Amy - what does the back of Alyssa's bag say? It looks like there may be something cute back there.

My mom bought Alyssa's trick-or-treat bag from Pottery Barn Kids (you know how Grandmas like to indulge! :goodvibes ). The back of the bag is a gauge that says things like "just getting started," "almost there," "full," etc.). Alyssa insisted on carrying her bag all night...after an hour, she was dragging it, because it was so heavy, but she still wanted to carry it! :)

Have a good day everyone!
Amy :)

[MazdaUK]

Love the pics of you all in your costumes! DS(5) put on his light-up horns. picked up his "devil stick" and ran to the door every time to hold out the basket. I didn't get a lot of stuff in as we only had 2 calls last year (it was very rainy). We had about 5 or 6 groups this year - maybe next year I might let him out, but he's got a nasty chesty cough and it was very damp.

Love the Christmas Lumpy - now what can I use that on.......

Back to work :badpc:

Sorry about the red eye, didn't have time to fix it this morning.

On another note, got word from the transfer paper lady, seems they lost my order, but not my payment. They are sending it out today via two day delivary. Sorry for the delays, but hopefully everyone will have their paper by the weekend.

Hey Deb -
I am patiently waiting for installment #3 on the trip report.....:rolleyes1

Sorry, It's been busy around here with Halloween and all. Since we finally had a nice weekend we had to do all of our outdoor preparation for winter. Now that I know someone is waiting I'll move it up on my priority list.

Rosiejo: Only 2 TOT? Wow. You are getting so close to leaving for your wedding. I'm so excited for you!

Macntosh: What great costumes! Your DD is just beautiful. You all three looked terrific!

Karebear1: I will be so sad when they get too big for this. I'm trying to savor every second of it now!

Deb: I want the next trip report too. :teeth:


Hope I didn't miss anyone in all these new pages! If I did, I apologize now.

OMG! Did you see my ticker? I just noticed it. I leave 4 weeks from today! I'll be waiting at the airport for our 11:30am flight. I'm too excited.

So, where is the CHEAPEST place to buy color cartridges for my printer? I did a test in BW last night, and it looks like it will print the designs just fine. My color one is empty. Any suggestions?

Oh, and what is formica? How do I know if my counter tops are that?

office depot has a generic of printer cartridges and I think it works pretty well!

Formica is an overlay on countertops - it is the most common type - or there is like granite or corian - those are solid all the way through

if you want = take a picture of your countertop (try to get a corner) and I will tell you if it is

You can buy small pieces of Formica at Home Depot or such to use. I'm thinking about picking up a piece, so my wife doesn't burn her hands on the stainless steel again.

Ok, I really want to get these shirts taken care of. How long does it take to have the shirts delivered? And which ones again, Kate (brand and site)?

Denise - this is the site I used and the link goes straight to the shirts I got - I really like them

http://www.blankshirtstore.com/women/anvil/978/?idcust=755861501

if you order today (and soon) - you would probably get them tomorrow or Thursday

Mac – What a beautiful family you have. Your costumes are great.

Deb – I have been enjoying reading them. I know what you mean about the yard work. With the nice weather we spent the weekend re-sealing our deck and I had to transplant all my potted plants, or should I say jungle, that I keep our on our screened porch, so I could bring them in for the winter.

Denise – Speaking of user names, it wasn’t until recently when I figured out what the “figs” meant in yours.

Kate – Do you know where I can find long sleeved tees for kids? I don’t see them at blankshirts.

That will work for DS but I don't know about DD. She is a size 4. I'm afraid she would swim in it. I guess I could order them from there for the 3 of us and then look around Walmart, Target, Michaels, etc. for her. Thanks.

I'm afraid the length is going to swallow my three on those T's. The width is ok, but the lenght is a good 4 inches longer than their regular shirts they wear. Any other suggestions for kids shirts?

[julia & nicks mom]

for the boys - call your Old Navy and see if they have any of their ringer tees left - that is what Nickes shirts are and I LOVED them!!!

I got the hanes stayclean for most of Julia's and also the walmart brand tees - I liked those too - they have been clearanced here

I also liked the shirts I got from Hobby Lobby - although they were 50/50 and I really think that makes a difference

I need to take Julia to school - I will research a little when I get back

[triplefigs]

I just had a brilliant idea! I'm going to go raid my kid's closets and get out all of their short sleeve plain t-shirts and use those to make the DDA shirts. By next summer, those will all be too small anyway, and I'd have to buy new ones! That'll at least cut down on buying shirts. And I think I have some old plain shirts that I may be able to use for me. Good excuse to buy new clothes next Spring! :rotfl:

[CheriePenguin]

So many more cute trick-or-treaters! :earsgirl: :earsboy: They all look great!

KMH1 – Alyssa looks SOOO cute and the three of you make such a cute Dalmatian family!!

Macntosh – You guys look awesome! I love all 3 of the costumes!

Triplefigs – thanks for the comments!
Maybe we’ll run into you at WDW – we’re there about the same time, and going to MVMCP Dec 1st too.


Regarding the formica – would any kitchen counters work, or would it have to be formica? :confused3 I might have a wooden cutting board, mostly unused, that I could use the bottom of.

Here is our family pic. Mya loved telling everyone that mommy was "the evil queen and daddy was the dopey"

Sorry about the red eye, didn't have time to fix it this morning.

On another note, got word from the transfer paper lady, seems they lost my order, but not my payment. They are sending it out today via two day delivary. Sorry for the delays, but hopefully everyone will have their paper by the weekend.

Cool costumes!

Glad the paper lady finally came through. Not good that she didn't respond to your FIRST email. Argg hate that!

Are you sure your not watching me!! I leave in 4 weeks too LOL! AND I just went to walmart to get INK today!! I hate when I need ink! I have Lemark and it was 20 for black and 33 for color... OUCH! I think the black was ok, but I grabbed it anyway so I wasn't stuck over the weekend.

Formica... hmmm ask DH, maybe he knows, were just girls hea' :rotfl:

Nothing too major. One night the DDAers from Ohio got all goofy talking about their state, some new shirts made, everyone had good Disney trips, posted our kids (and us) Halloween pics, Marti and several others have been sick but are on the mend.

Glad you're back and safe! We missed you!

Great Halloween pictures everyone!

I don't have pictures from yesterday yet (I have a 35 mm not a digital..I still have about 10 Disney pictures on the film that is still in the camera ..some from LeCellier & our last night in Disney). Here is what my guys wore to MNSSHP.

Katie is a 20's flapper, Daniel is a Met player, & Sophie is Snow White!

if any of you go to Wendy's and are not using your cups for the airtrans promotion - could I entice you in any way to send your certificates to me? We are hoping to collect enough for a trip to the west coast in the spring

Thanks!!!

I posted our tentative plan here:

#569 on December 2005 Info, Code, Dining board

Not sure if any of our other days/places will match up.

I want to make it to the 6:00 meet just prior to the Night Before Christmas show at MVMCP Dec 1st (I know you posted that you can't make that one due to your ADR). We're eating @2:40 at Whispering Canyon, then snacking/eating around wherever during the party. I don't know if DS will hold out long enough for us to make it to the later evening meets (fireworks/carousel). I hope we get to see the fireworks, but am not sure if we'll be able to get to a particular place at a particular time with him that late.

Were you originally planning to stay at WL too, or am I remembering incorrectly?

In any case, it would be neat if we run into each other there :) and if I see you (or think I see you!) I'll be sure to say hi!

Don't worry, just struck me as funny (would be an awfully pretty boy {in my unbiased opinion}). She has finally just accepted that she is a girl and will be one the rest of her life.

DS11, decided that he wanted to go to grandma's and help her hand out candy (her arthritis makes it difficult to get up and down for the door). Didn't dress up at all (unless you count an 11 year old boy who is starting to get an attitude as a costume).

I spent 10 minutes trying to get her to pronounce "Darth" correctly. I finally just gave up!

I also think that any 11 year old boy willing to go help his grandma instead of trick or treating can't have that big of an attitude!!!

I'm afraid the length is going to swallow my three on those T's. The width is ok, but the lenght is a good 4 inches longer than their regular shirts they wear. Any other suggestions for kids shirts?

Denise - I took a picture of Becca and Alysha wearing the size 3T Gilden shirt so you can get an idea of the size. It's quite roomy!!

Becca is barely in a 2T - she just turned 2 and is about 23 #s. Alysha is 4 and wears a 4T - she is about 34 #s and just over 40" tall.

I raided my girls' dressers too!! That purple and yellow one you saw yesterday with the Pooh flower were old t-shirts, as well as Becca's pink sweatshirt.

WARNING!!! Using the old ones worked great for colored t-shirts. I used a white one and as I ironed a bunch of stains showed up!! Old white ones should be fine for spray painting though.

Thanks for the pictures. My trio are 34-38# and 42-44" tall. I'm thinking the 4T may be the size to get. Do you think the 3T would allow for 2 more inches in height? I'd rather them be short than long. I found 2 orange and navy Old Navy Ringer ts and 2 blue for the boys in their closet. Only 1 hot pink in DDs closet, so I do need to order some more shirts.

[triplefigs]

For kids, is it better to have the design on the front or the back of the shirt? They have old Nemo shirts that are getting too small. I could put a design on the back of those. Yes or no? And we have the Disney logo shirts from this summer that I could add a design to the back. Will they get noticed, or be a waste of time/money?

Like it!! I wish I was home so I could play on photoshop! WAAAAAAAA

[bengalbelle]

Bengalbelle - your pirate looks great - must have been warm today, I see that he is barefoot! Her "shades" are a pair of "spyglasses" that we had in the gift closet, but were a lot cheaper than Buzz's actual goggles.

LOL, I didn't realize until I looked at the pictures later that he was barefoot. I was rushing him out the door to get some pictures and we had not put his shoes on yet. I'm sure it's painfully obvious, but I made his costume and there was a lot of blood, sweat and tears put into it. OK, no tears but a little bit of blood and a whole lot of sweat. I sew home decor but not clothes :blush: . Anyway I was rushing to get a picture of him before the costume fell apart since he had already worn it to MNSSHP! We did put shoes on him before we went trick or treating, and it was pretty warm when we took the picture :blush:

Like I said before, I love the shades. They totally "make" the costume. Off the top of my head I don't remember what Buzz's shades/goggles look like, but I'm sure they're not cooler than those!

[miss missy]

Am I the only one who missed the announcement that we now have a new board for photography here???? COOL!!!!!

Funny about the shoes! My mother went to work the other day in TWO DIFFERENT shoes!!! Same style, two different heals LOL She worked all day like that!

[miss missy]

Dum Ditty Dum ................. so the first time I am around, no one else is! I am always talking to myself on this board!

OK fine! :badpc: Be that way! I think you all smell of ...........

POOOOOOOP

There I said it HA !!!!!! :rotfl2:

and just so you know, I am over here at work, with tears in my eyes laughing at that last post .... I think I am really losing it!

Denise,

Thanks for the note about my gang....your house looks great!

[bear74]

oh man you guys were a chatty bunch sunday night after I went to bed. I finally got to start reading the boards around 4pm today and I had 16 pages to read. finally caught up.
Will post pics of DD as JoJo when DH gets home.

[tmfranlk]

Well, until Bear74 gets her Jojo's pics up, will mine do? If I was a little more ambitious, I would have gone along as Goliath. Maybe next year! :)

As for where to purchase printer ink your best bet is probably somewhere online even if you buy a generic type for your printer. Certain printer brands it is much harder to find genric ink for than others.

What I suggest you do is find out what type of cartridge you need for your printer and enter this number or letter combo into google's search engine window. If you don't know what this number or letter combo is you can go to amazon.com and type in your printer type. It should pop up with printer ink as a choice to purchase, it should have a number or letter or combo of both. Cut and paste this information into google's search engine and go through a few different sites to pick out the lowest priced ink.

Just had to show off our Halloween decorations before I take them down. But that means it's closer to our trip!


I'm impressed. I did great with the costumes, but the only decoration is an uncarved pumpkin that a neighbor gave to my kids. Wait until Christmas though, I have so many decorations that our electric bill doubles.

tmfranlk - your jojo is VERY cute!!

I noticed the Aurora in your signature - we met her at CRT and the Tea Party at the GF - in all our previous trips we have never met an Aurora we really liked - until her

Just in case you were all wondering - Belle did have Mrs. Potts trick or treating with her for a little while!!

[MinnieMouseMom]

Cute! Nice rosy cheeks. Was it cold there?

It wasn't horribly cold, but it was rainy.

My son turned 8 on Halloween..we had a really cute party. The Bus O' Fun came. This guy converted a school bus & put a bunch of different games inside...there was a glass booth that the birthday child went into and money was blowing around and however much he grabbed in 30 seconds was his to keep. Needless to say he's $17 richer...he thought that was FABULOUS! Then he organized a bunch of different games & had a pinata. I was nervous having never done this kind of party...but happy with the results. Everyone was happy & I'm ready for bed!

Thanks! I totally agree with you about that Aurora. She was the best I've seen at WDW or DL.

We saw a Belle and her Mrs Potts at our mall too!

[tmfranlk]

I was thinking the same thing. I was really wishing we knew someone to go as Goliath, but we don't live close enough to team up with the cousins.

Just had to show off our Halloween decorations before I take them down. But that means it's closer to our trip! Denise - the house looks great. Are you going to decorate for Christmas before you leave or after you come home?

When I was 11 I HAD to go as "a boy". That's all, "a boy". :confused3

But the best part is, two or three houses in a row in my dad's old neighborhood said "You're son is getting so big!" :rotfl:
Jennifer - that is too funny! Last year she was a boy cowboy! One year she did MNSSHP as Woody, she refused to be Jessie, she was going to be Woody!

here's a christmas design

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b162/kfeldmann/christmas.jpgKate - I love this - how come there aren't any special designs for the 2nd of November? Just because it's not a National holiday?

[Blueeyes101817]

OMG! Did you see my ticker? I just noticed it. I leave 4 weeks from today! I'll be waiting at the airport for our 11:30am flight. I'm too excited.

So, where is the CHEAPEST place to buy color cartridges for my printer? I did a test in BW last night, and it looks like it will print the designs just fine. My color one is empty. Any suggestions?

Oh, and what is formica? How do I know if my counter tops are that?


i think well be g etting there the same day!! or close!! ill be there on Nov 29! :cool1: im also doing MVMCP on the first!

How cool! You arrive the same day as us. I think there are 4 of us DDAers doing MVMCP on 12/1! We need to schedule a DDA meet that night!

[triplefigs]

Denise - the house looks great. Are you going to decorate for Christmas before you leave or after you come home?

Thanks! I usually decorate over Thanksgiving weekend, but I'm going to do the inside of the house (it takes me a few days I have so much Christmas stuff) that I'll probably start next week. We'll do the outside after we get back. We're worried that people would notice the lights etc not on and realize we weren't home.

[Steamboat Marti]

I also think that any 11 year old boy willing to go help his grandma instead of trick or treating can't have that big of an attitude!!!



Ditto! That impresses me!!

[triplefigs]

They look great!! I want the pumpkin light covers!

They are just plastic Pumpkin faces that I tied on to the lights.

Me too! He deserves all the candy for that attitude. You've done a great job parenting to have those results.

[triplefigs]

Thanks, everyone for the nice comments about my house. We decorate for every holiday. At Easter I hang about 100 or more Easter Eggs from the large Crepe Myrtle tree in front of the house. It's so much fun!

[disneyeveryyear]

LOL, I didn't realize until I looked at the pictures later that he was barefoot. I was rushing him out the door to get some pictures and we had not put his shoes on yet. I'm sure it's painfully obvious, but I made his costume and there was a lot of blood, sweat and tears put into it. OK, no tears but a little bit of blood and a whole lot of sweat. I sew home decor but not clothes :blush: . Anyway I was rushing to get a picture of him before the costume fell apart since he had already worn it to MNSSHP! We did put shoes on him before we went trick or treating, and it was pretty warm when we took the picture :blush:

Like I said before, I love the shades. They totally "make" the costume. Off the top of my head I don't remember what Buzz's shades/goggles look like, but I'm sure they're not cooler than those!

Here are the official Buzz goggles, but at $9.99 plus S&H, I figured, the ones I had would be fine. http://disneyshopping.go.com/DSSectionPage.process?Merchant_Id=2&Section_id=14418&Product_Id=140460&Searchstr=buzz&Page=3

I thought his costume looked great. Most years I make the costumes, but I had previously looked at the Buzz Lightyear pattern and knew it wasn't going to happen. I was able to buy the costume including s&h for less than $20.00 off of E-bay last month, so I decided to let her do it.

House looked great Denise. One question though, not a speck of disney decorations? Whats up with that.

[kadaten]

:wave2: Thought I'd share my Halloween kids and shirts :)
DD was Aurora, which meant DS had to be Prince Phillip! ("Heir to the Throne" costume from WalMart, but to him, it was Prince Phillip, and that's all that mattered!)

Halloween tie-dye is a different colored variation on my shirts from a couple years ago :)

I also love the idea! Something different and they come to your house, it couldn't be easier. Do you think he would come 200 miles down I-55?

[disneyeveryyear]

Me too! He deserves all the candy for that attitude. You've done a great job parenting to have those results.

Thanks for the kudos. He is really a good kid, and he came up with the idea of helping grandma. We didn't even have to ask him.

However, this pre-teen attitude gets a little old some days.

I finally got them both to bed, yeah, some quiet time on the DIS and TGM for mom!

Where did you get your JOJO costume? I like yourhat better then the one that came with ours it wouldnt stay on and when it was on it would only fit the back of her head. we got ours from disney online.

[KristineN]

I was surprised he didn't charge extra to come to me...he's out past Worth...I'm near O'Hare. Fine print said something about a 10% charge past 15 miles.

[KMH1]

Sorry to interrupt all the picture sharing. Everyone looks just so great in their Halloween costumes. But, I finally got back to doing a design and thought I would share my latest creation done for TanaL for her upcoming Thanksgiving cruise.

Night all. Tomorrow's my long day with teaching pre-school, then DD ballet, and then church dinner and I teach 4 year old choir afterwards. See ya tomorrow night before Martha Apprentice and Invasion!

[CheriePenguin]

Hey wait wait, I am going to MVMCP that night too !! I am eating at... let me look... LTT at 420... oh well look for me that night ladies!!!

Thanks Denise. With regard to the monorail design, we actually did not do that one for us. We did it for some friends. We did get several comments, however, on the two that we did for us. Several people asked where they could buy them.

Did you wear the one with Goofy holding the baloons? That's my other favorite you did (has Epcot and I think the castle on it)? They are so vibrant. What color shirt did you use?

It would be really neat if we could all meet - at MVMCP Dec 1st, or sometime during our trips!

I'm so unsure about how things are going to go - our first time to MVMCP, and with DS (20 months) who may or may not "go with the flow"!

At present we're planning to eat at WCC (WL) @ 2:40, then get to the party around 4:00+. I want to try to make it to the MouseMeet with Ray Sharpton at 6:00 just prior to the Mickey's Night Before Christmas show. I think there were two other meets scheduled for fireworks time and 11pm, but I'm not sure if DS will make it that late.

Any ideas for when and where we could try to meet? Not sure if I can guarantee I'll make it, but I'll sure try!

[itslisa]

You guys are so funny sometimes. I swear it's a RACE to 10,000 posts at this point. :)


I've got this great graphic of the Sword in the Stone and I want to personalize it somehow. What I *really* want it to say is PICK ME PICK ME but I'm looking for something a little less obvious. :)

Anyone have any ideas? If it helps - my DS's name is Ben.

Anyone have any hints on getting picked?

Yep, wore that one and the one with the photographs of the four park icons. We did both on white shirts. And you are right, the colors did turn out very vibrant.

Here's Alyssa showing off hers with Chip and Dale.

I know the last post was OT, but Marti and I find ourselves often talking about these boards and you guys even when we are not online. Even though we have only met a few of you on our last trip we still feel as though we know you all and we if we all lived alittle closer to each other we would probablly hang out and have a beer or two. Anyway just wanted to share with you all.


Can't sleep, as SteamboatMarti has run out of steam again and will be making another trip to the Dr. later this morning.

Talk to you all later...

I have to log on at least twice a day to keep up with you lot!

Funny about the shoes! My mother went to work the other day in TWO DIFFERENT shoes!!! Same style, two different heals LOL She worked all day like that!

I did this once for a charity event we were organising - two black patent shoes, two different heels! Sat with my feet under the table manning the door for most of the night :rotfl:

You think that's bad, last year we were on our way on vacation and had gone 5 minutes down the road when I realised I was wwearing my slippers :rotfl: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: (No wonder I was comfy :rolleyes: )

Oh blimey I'm nine pages behind already... how many pages will you guys crank up in three weeks!

Just wanted to login and say goodbye - thanks for all the best wishes.

Have a fun three weeks - hope you're all feeling better soon and those about to embark on their own WDW trips I hope you have a FANTASTIC time :cheer2:

Oh yeah - and just in case anyone does spot me you might like to know that my "real" name is Clare - Rosie is actually the name of my cat :rotfl: (Just so you knwo why I might not answer to it :) )

When I was 11 I HAD to go as "a boy". That's all, "a boy". :confused3

But the best part is, two or three houses in a row in my dad's old neighborhood said "You're son is getting so big!" :rotfl:

LOL! I kind of did that this year. My daughter went out in a group trick-or-treating, and while she was out another group of her friends came to the door. When dd came home, I told her they had been looking for her and told her the three names of the girls that I knew and then said that there was a pretty blonde girl with them that I kept thinking that I should know but couldn't place. It turns out that the "pretty blonde girl" was actually a boy!

To all of you ... Make sure you read all the way down to the last sentence.

It's National Friendship Week.
Show your friends how much you care.
Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND, even if it means
sending it back to the person who sent it to you.
If it comes back to you, then you'll know
you have a circle of friends.
HAPPY FRIENDSHIP WEEK TO YOU!!!!!!
YOU ARE MY FRIEND AND I am honored



Matthew, Marti and Paul :goodvibes
:sad: We do have a wonderful circle of friends here. Right back at you all.

It would be really neat if we could all meet - at MVMCP Dec 1st, or sometime during our trips!

I'm so unsure about how things are going to go - our first time to MVMCP, and with DS (20 months) who may or may not "go with the flow"!

At present we're planning to eat at WCC (WL) @ 2:40, then get to the party around 4:00+. I want to try to make it to the MouseMeet with Ray Sharpton at 6:00 just prior to the Mickey's Night Before Christmas show. I think there were two other meets scheduled for fireworks time and 11pm, but I'm not sure if DS will make it that late.

Any ideas for when and where we could try to meet? Not sure if I can guarantee I'll make it, but I'll sure try!

im flexible, so let me know! it all depends on who comes with me though--if its my mom, im coming to the meets--she knows im addicted to these boards..one of my friends may come and hes never been do disney so he doesnt know im a psychotic disney board person, so if he comes, i may find it more difficlult to meet..but well see!!
as of now, im planning on the 11 or 1130 meet at the carousel....let me know if you think of more :)

Rosiejo/Clare -

Best wishes to you and your DH2B. Here's to a magical wedding and honeymoon and a lifetime of happiness and love.

I have to share these pumpkins photos with you. I was done carving pumpkins, and then on Monday (Halloween!) morning someone here posted a link to a site with these two patterns on it. I had to go out to buy two small pumpkins to carve. (And confirmed my husband's opinion that I am completely nuts).

It's a little hard to see them, but they are the castle and a mouse from Cinderella.

Here is the castle lit up (next to my ds's bats).

And finally...here are my little Dash and not-so-little princess princess: . She really wanted to be a Disney princess, but she probably would have needed an adult costume which I couldn't afford. I have always sewed the costumes in the past, but even that was going to be way too costly.

Sorry to interrupt all the picture sharing. Everyone looks just so great in their Halloween costumes. But, I finally got back to doing a design and thought I would share my latest creation done for TanaL for her upcoming Thanksgiving cruise.

Love it! Awesome job!

[miss missy]

I know the last post was OT, but Marti and I find ourselves often talking about these boards and you guys even when we are not online. Even though we have only met a few of you on our last trip we still feel as though we know you all and we if we all lived alittle closer to each other we would probablly hang out and have a beer or two. Anyway just wanted to share with you all.


Can't sleep, as SteamboatMarti has run out of steam again and will be making another trip to the Dr. later this morning.

Talk to you all later...


Thanks for that post. What's the matter? Sick? Let us know. Hope it goes away REAL fast too.

[miss missy]

I have to log on at least twice a day to keep up with you lot!



I did this once for a charity event we were organising - two black patent shoes, two different heels! Sat with my feet under the table manning the door for most of the night :rotfl:

You think that's bad, last year we were on our way on vacation and had gone 5 minutes down the road when I realised I was wwearing my slippers :rotfl: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: (No wonder I was comfy :rolleyes: )

Ya, My Mom was hiding under her desk that day too! Funny, slippers! I hope they wern
t big Mickey head ones! LOL

[miss missy]

Oh blimey I'm nine pages behind already... how many pages will you guys crank up in three weeks!

Just wanted to login and say goodbye - thanks for all the best wishes.

The tshirts are all ironed and packed... all that's left now is to parcel up the cats and send them off to their "grandparent's" :0(

Have a fun three weeks - hope you're all feeling better soon and those about to embark on their own WDW trips I hope you have a FANTASTIC time :cheer2:

Oh yeah - and just in case anyone does spot me you might like to know that my "real" name is Clare - Rosie is actually the name of my cat :rotfl: (Just so you knwo why I might not answer to it :) )

Bye everyone - see you when I get home :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

I might have missed you! If not BYE and have a blast! 3 weeks YAY!!!!!! :cheer2:

RosieJo
You have planned this for a very long time. I hope that you have as much fun on your trip as you have had planning it. The planning is done so relax and take in every moment. Your wedding day will be over in a flash. I got married 13 1/2 years ago and there are so many memories that seem like they happened yesterday. We had so much fun at our Wedding, Reception and post reception reception that we almost missed the flight to our honeymoon which was the start of my Disney Obsession. :banana:

Best Wishes on your happy day.

Thanks Paul and Marti!!!! I loved those poems......I speak of all of ya'll to my husband as my "Disney Buddies". This is a great bunch of friends. It would be amazing for all of us to be able to get together for a weekend.

[karebear1]

Clare- Have a safe trip and a wonderful wedding! I'll be looking for you at AKL on Friday!

[julia & nicks mom]

Rosiejo - I hope you have an AWESOME trip, BEAUTIFUL wedding and WONDERFUL Marriage!!! We will miss you!!! I can't wait to see pics!!

Marti & Paul - that was a great post!! We do have an awesome group of friends here - we really do need to plan a HUGE DDA meet - maybe we could figure out where everyone lives and find somewhere we could all easily get to - which of course might be WDW!!!

We really do need to think seriously about all of us getting together. We are all in FL, NC, GA, OH, NY.....where else?? We could do a long weekend Feb or Mar after the Holidays are over. What would be a good "center location" for all of us??

Any feedback??

[karebear1]

I'm from Oregon..... but my DD is a flight attendant for Southwest- so I can fly anywhere SWA does for free!

[momof2OH]

Here's the pics of my two dressed for Halloween. DD decided she wanted to go on Sun (didn't give me lots of time to get something together) so she was a simple devil. DS had to be Mickey.

I'm from Txas. I think their are a few of us from here as well.
Claire have a great wedding and honeymoon.

[julia & nicks mom]

this is not central for the Texas DDA's but for the rest of us DC would be pretty convenient and a fun place to go!!

[WeLoveTheMouse]

HA! I knew that would get you out of lurkdom. Come on, this is the best Bama's been in a LONG time. That LSU/Bama game on the 12th is going to be a showdown to say the least! We are supposed to get tickets, so keep your fingers crossed we can go to Tuscaloosa!

Roll Tide
I missed all the fun talk! Still haven't caught up but I had to post now too. It is going to be a fun game! We will be out tailgating on the quad before & after. We are cooking up some Cajun food to celebrate. Hope it still taste good after the game too. I hope you get your tickets. They are very tight around here. You can almost always find them down there for a price as you know.

Between Halloween, my DH had ear surgery & the posting frenzy I am trying to catch up on 50 pages. AHHHHH!!

[mommykds]

RosieJo - Have a wonderful wedding & honeymoon! Best wishes!!!!

Momof2Oh - I love your Disney kitchen! Great pictures!

Paul & Marti - Great post! Seems like you do get to "know" one another around here!

Beth - love the hidden Mickey's!!!

Denise - Can't wait to see your Christmas decorations!! Usually we do lights on the house & bushes (white) but this year my Dh said we should kick it up a notch! Maybe an inflatable Santa Mickey on the lawn? :teeth:

[Pooh67_68]

Any DDA's know where I can get a Disney Thanksgiving picture for my siggy?
I went to geocities, but they don't have Thanksgiving. :confused3

[itslisa]

Rosiejo (Claire) - have a great and safe trip. Good luck ... and don't forget the 2 pence for your shoe!


Lisa

[bethbuchall]

The hidden Mickey's were an accident, and I didn't notice them when I was taking the photos. As soon as I had them up on my computer, though, they popped right out at me.

Clare--Have a great trip and a beautiful wedding!!!

Your Welcome. I have had those for quite some time, but I believe they came from this site: http://clipart.disneysites.com I don't know if they have any others.

I had gone there, but when I put the picture in my photobucket account and posted it, it posted very, very small.

She is too cute! :goodvibes

[tink2020]

My son turned 8 on Halloween..we had a really cute party. The Bus O' Fun came. This guy converted a school bus & put a bunch of different games inside...there was a glass booth that the birthday child went into and money was blowing around and however much he grabbed in 30 seconds was his to keep. Needless to say he's $17 richer...he thought that was FABULOUS! Then he organized a bunch of different games & had a pinata. I was nervous having never done this kind of party...but happy with the results. Everyone was happy & I'm ready for bed!


What a fun idea! It sounds like you all had a blast!

[tink2020]

They are just plastic Pumpkin faces that I tied on to the lights.

How creative!!! I loved them!

[tink2020]

:wave2: Thought I'd share my Halloween kids and shirts :)
DD was Aurora, which meant DS had to be Prince Phillip! ("Heir to the Throne" costume from WalMart, but to him, it was Prince Phillip, and that's all that mattered!)

Halloween tie-dye is a different colored variation on my shirts from a couple years ago :)

I know what you mean! DH and I were talking last night about something and a few of you came up. He said "you've never met these people, right? how do you know so much about them? :earseek: " :)

Actually, it's full-strength Mountain Dew :blush: :rolleyes1

Non-diet pop is my stress "food". That and ice cream, but I couldn't hardly get that at the hospital and carry it with me all day!

This is sort of rediculous, though.... but that's what you get when I have to read 9 pages :goodvibes

[tink2020]

Hey! I'm caught up.... and now I must go again. Well, in a few minutes anyway. I apologize in advance if I have to go on a posting frenzy again tonight/tomorrow! Just trying to keep up!

Must go continue packing.... and look for a storage unit.... and read a million pages for a test (i'm a little behind) ......

Elin - if you have a bunch of crazy ladies (and a crazy man or two) wearing Disney shirts come knocking at your door, with suitcases in hand - sorry, it's my fault....:confused3

[tmfranlk]

Where did you get your JOJO costume? I like yourhat better then the one that came with ours it wouldnt stay on and when it was on it would only fit the back of her head. we got ours from disney online.

I actually made her Jojo costume. I started it last year when they sold out so quickly and then we ended up not going out. I jsut finished it this year. If your DD will be wearing her costume more and you can sew at all, the hat was really easy to make. I can send you a link to the directions I used. I actually ended up making it a little too small since I didn't listen to my instincts, hence the barretts holding it on. :)

I totally agree with this point! I've been very frustrated in that I'm not getting my email notifications and when I try to check in to see what's new, the T-shirt thread is always at the top. (And yes, I've already been through all of the Tech Board help with my email issue but they haven't been able to help.)

If that's the worst thing that that person in the quote has to worry about... :rolleyes2
