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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

[purplepeg]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fantas

 

[lisalonglash]

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

 

[declansdad]

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

 

[Hypermommy]

Looks like a great schedule! There is one thing I noticed, however.... on the 20th.....

O'Hana's for dinner
MK to watch Spectro and Wishes
This is Peg and families last day with us

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

Love the way you think...I forgot there was 2 kinds....I really should try both

Nice....We have never been lucky enough to watch from there...can't wait to hear your review on that

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

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

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

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

 

[Queenofallthings]

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

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

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

Jasmine playing Rockband

The group rocking out

Jasmine and Thomas

Such concentration, love to watch their faces

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

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

 

[Queenofallthings]

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

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

Jasmine and Thomas "chillin" by the pool

Jasmine and Thomas cooling off

Kayla and her boyfriend Drew

Sitting down to dinner...so yummy BBQ hamburgers

Eric printing off questionairre's that both Drew and Thomas had to answer...they were hilarious...all about dating my daughter and dating my niece....here is Drew taking his....

....now it's Thomas' turn...some of their answers had us rolling on the floor, these boys better have a sense of humour being in our family...they proved they do

Jasmine and Thomas playing Rockband....again

Thomas, Jasmine, Kayla and Drew

Mini Montana, Snow and Jas before Snow's piano recital

MM and Jasmine is Purplepeg's backyard after recital...now is it just me or does anyone else think they really look alike in the pic???

MM and Snow...patiently waiting for Snow's turn

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

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

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