08 DEC 2007 - 7 Day Eastern Magic Part 3

[JoiseyMom]

I'm sorry you're having a rough time. We don't have kids yet, but this is one of my biggest fears. I'm pooh sized myself and have been since spending a summer with my grandparents when I was 5 years old. I know when we do have kids, I'll worry about it every day cause I'd never want my child to go through that growing up. But seeing kids today, I know you're a great mom for putting so much energy into making sure they eat well.

I have tried so hard. I have elimanted High Fructose Corn syrup from items I buy at home and trans fats. I buy organic cookies and snacks, ice cream. Junk, but better junk if you know what I mean. I take them to Mickey D's, and they can have soda there and stuff, and please don't get me started on what they eat on vacation. But there is always something to eat in my house. I am going to have to buy some different cheeses and see what they may like. I have to go ot the store to get some carrots..I didnt realize I needed them when I got apples and bananas today. Maybe I will get some grapes too. I don't even look at the fresh produce prices anymore, I just buy them. I look at this way...how much is the candy and chips when you figure the price per pound? Makes veggies cheap in comparison .

I am just hoping he learns and realizes he can't sneak things behind mom and dad's back. Otherwise he is giong to be a very sad little boy.

It's tasty too...tastes just like candy

It's HOT in here! Loved that one. But my all time favorite was the one with William Holden where she set her nose on fire.

Tina and I talk occassionally about how we miss being in college band and all the games and fun times we had with it, but me personally, that's where it needs to stay; in the past. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the memories I have of college, the band, and the friends we had, but I also have a LOT of memories about the 2 hour rehearsal every day, in the sweltering heat, with people passing out, or the exact opposite with having a game in the rain during the freezing cold. I love it, I wouldn't trade it, but I'm glad it's in the past and I'm on to bigger and better things with all of you and DISNEY!!

I understand COMPLETELY where you're coming from. I was born 6 weeks premature and that was the last time I was smaller than I was supposed to be. I promised that if I ever had a child that I would NOT let that happen to him/her. My DB had a little girl and from the day she was born he said she can either eat healthy or not at all. If she gets hungry enough, she'll eat it. And because of that she is a GREAT little neice and she enjoys eating chicken and such and she has actually turned down ice cream and cookies. I'M SUCH A PROUD UNCLE AND I'M SOOOO PROUD OF HER!!!

His favorite veggie used to be green peas. Now he won't touch them. He will eat celery and lettuce, that is about it for the greens. DD loves broccoli and cauliflower. So I hope he will grow into it like she has.

Yay! I'm excited. I just got a text message from my little sister that she actually found my Disney pins! They were one of the things that got left behind when we moved cross country along with boxes and boxes of other stuff that's in my parents' attic. It took her a couple weeks, but she found them!

She said she's gonna mail them, so I should have them in time for the cruise. She also said we're having a yard sale for all the other junk the next time I'm home.

I don't think I'm bringing anything really good either even though I'm bringing everything I have. I didn't ever really get into the pin trading thing, so I just have a few that I picked up here and there. I do have some of the UK Disney Store pins from years back though. I picked them up on a trip to London and Edinburgh. I'm pretty sure they're in the book she's sending.

 

[JoiseyMom]

I have bunches that I really like. I also collect Hard Rock Pins. My HRP are in shadow box frames. I just bought a bunch of different size frames for my disney pins. Now once my walls get painted, and I get teh pins organized and in the frames, I will get them on the walls .

It's the thought...right??

 

[coastgirl]

Stacy, CONGRATS! Nice one, a "thousand"

Joisey Mom, sorry about the treats. That's really upsetting, I hate it when ds gets sneaky. Fortunately he's not yet figured out how to be sneaky enough to hide his sneakiness, so I am trying to build that deep-seated fear that MOM WILL FIND OUT before he's too old for the seeds to take root. (I was CONVINCED my mom would find out, and it kept me out of a lot of trouble.) Anyway, it sounds like your boy will take this seriously. You're doing a good job, Mom.

I tried to visit here for the pirate run after the kids were settled and...my internet was down! Gone! Nuthin'!! And the weekend just starting and a big storm forecast but not even started yet...it wasn't looking good!! I actually had to find my phone book (I always use 411 online, easy than flipping pages!) and call the cable co. I am just pleased it's back. And dh is home! Woohoo! We're all safe and snug and getting ready to batten the hatches...and he came with the parcel from Disney Shopping, new beachwear for the kids, so we can pass that stuff out in teh mornign and talk about using it NEXT MONTH.

Now I'm off to bed. 'Night all.

They use to have a Notebook and you could trade everything you wanted in the book but in Septemeber there was no Notebook

I did trade some CMs and of course DH bought Tons of pins

The one time I saw a CM with pins, they had nothing, I was very sad. I had a bunch of great Peter Pan trader pins that I got at the disney store. I did trade a few at WDW.

Ok, time for bed for me. Nite all!!

Just stopped by to say goodnight. I went to dinner tonight with some friends, including a woman with whom I went all through grammar and high school. We've known each other more than fifty years. That's a very scary thought! Of course, we don't look a day older than the day we graduated high school.

I'm tired and we have soccer in the morning. I'll be back before the game if I get up early enough, if not, I'll stop in after the game!

I'm beginning to think my screen name wasn't the best idea.

I decided to try my hand at personalizing some magnets tonight so they wouldn't "wander away." And it occurs to me that putting "Cruise" right below "Disney Magic" isn't really much of a personalization, is it?

As Reba would say..."craaaaap."
