How many are in her class Andy?
Thanks for sharing a very special moment with all of us. You and Momster look very proud. (and skinny how much have you lost)

Somewhere around 265 kids but only about 240 were at Convocation. I felt bad for one girl that was there. Lina told us her parents didn't feel like coming, so they stayed home. How horrible, how can parents do that to their child, makes me so.............


Yes, momster and dadster are indeed very proud!!!

This is a copy of the ad that I designed to put in Lina's yearbook this year. It is all of her school pics from K-12th and the words to the song "In My Daughter's Eyes" which was selected by Lina to be included.

This copy was scanned into my computer, it looks much nicer in the yearbook.


Now I really am signing off and going to bed!!!

Don't tell anyone, but momster & dadster paid a ton of $$ for this full page ad to be placed in the yearbook.​

Now I am really crying. Thank you so much for sharing this evening and the ad with us.
Unfortunatly the story about the girls parents not going is a very commen thing out here. As a matter of fact the ex has not showed to numerious events for the kids over the past few years. Well I should say ever since the started school. She is just very hit and miss with what she shows up for.
It is a very sad thing.

So my DD Sarah is going to her grandparents house for about a week. I went to make sure she didn't pack everything she owns, well she did. She is going to be gone for 6 days and has 6 bags packed, needless to say she has been instructed to pack 1, maybe 2.

 

[Karen Mouse]

Thanks!

DS will be 9. We will have a few 9 year olds. He makes friends easily (more so than DD). They will have lots of fun!

We'll have to get them pm'ing or emailing each other nearer the cruise date so they know each other already.

Not to worry gang. I'm fine.
Nancy's cabin did get caught in the twister but ended up landing on my twin sister. We called her BigBrunette. Sorry to say she didnt make it.
Now if we could just get back those ruby slippers Nancy stole from her. They
are a family heirloom.
Thanks for all the pm's and calls.

Well, good morning folks.

Its a very lazy start for me today .... I woke up at 5am when Neil went to work, then couldnt get back to sleep for ages.. the next thing I knew, Ellis is walking into my bedroom at 9am - 9am!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was all dressed, bedroom tidy and bed made and everything

The sun is shining, so I'd better get my lazy *ss up and dressed and start whats left of the morning!

We're baking a cake today for Fathers day on Sunday
That'll do the diet the world of good

Talking of diets.... I slipped up last night and had a glass of wine and a bag of crisps and we're eating out tonight

Oh well, keep your fingers crossed that I at least stay the same of lose a teeny tiny one pound.

 

[Karen Mouse]

Ellis has his next karate grading on Sunday - please keep your fingers crossed for him. He'll be a solid red belt if he passes

As soon as Lina saw this pic last night, she nearly landed on the floor, in a fit of laughter.........

 

[Verandah Man]

Lina is going to be a party animal this weekend. Last night, after I got all the pics loaded into my Webshots account, I had to take Lina to a friends house that she went to grade school with. The girl moved to another school district in 5th grade, but she(Ashley) and Lina have remained close friends. Anyhow, Ashley graduated last night and was having a sleepover grad party. Hazel and I dropped Lina off at Ashley's around 11pm, Ashley goes to a very large school and had around 400 kids graduating last night.

Lina has two more grad parties this afternoon to attend. Since tomorrow is Father's Day, ther are no grad parties planned, which gives me a day to rest!!!


Have a funfilled weekend everyone!!!

 

[Karen Mouse]

Brownie points for Ellis!!! BTW, I love his name!

Thank you!... We came across it because Walt Disneys middle name is Elias. I liked it but Neil didnt, so we compromised and went for Ellis

Its not very common over here at all. I've only ever met 2 others in 8 years!

Good Day and Happy Flag Day

​

Never heard of flag day, but happy flag day to you all!

 

[Karen Mouse]

I've been having a vague attempt at doing my itinary for xmas

Its driving me nuts

Every day during xmas week its EMH - what about the poor suckers who stay off site???

I've almost given up on booking ADR's... every restauant I like the look of has blooming peanuts on the menu... I guess its crowds and counter service for us then

I think we'll skip all the parks on xmas eve and go shopping? - or am I being crazy? - do you all have the last minute shopping rush like we do over here? Would you avoid the shops xmas eve?

Dont know what to do xmas day either.

I hate this part of the planning - it gives me a real

 

[Karen Mouse]

Right, thats it... no more planning - s*d the ADR's, the sun is shining - I'm taking the munchkin to the park before we bake the cake

Anyone doing anything nice for Fathers Day?
