10/4/08-Buccaneers Take the West! Cruiser List in Post #1

[karibritt01]

We do have a fish exchange. Denise (Mommaluvsdis) is keeping the list of who is delivering on which days. There are some DIS meets planned... butI have no idea when they are! (I'm the lowly step-child of the group... they don't tell me anything! ) Feel free to be over zealous. We love it!

Welcome Christine and family! I have a DS 13 and a DS 10. There is a forum for the kids for our cruise. Your kids may want to look it up.

Only 1 more day of school for me and then hello summer . I am so ready.

Hope everyone has a great evening and terrific Thursday!

Happy Thursday! Hope everyone is having a great week. We are extremely busy today... not even sure why am at the computer now, honestly! Today is Tucker's 10th birthday. YAY! He made it without me killing him! So today I have to clean the house so DM and DMIL can come to dinner, make and decorate the cake, cook dinner, wrap presents, and get all the laundry done so we can pack for vacation. WHEW!! I better get started.

Hey Everyone! I've missed this place a tonne! Been so busy just as you all have and finding it tough to keep up to date with all that's been happening here!

Welcome to all the new cruisers! I can't believe how close it's actually getting! Yeay!!!! As for the events I would LOVE an update too about what everyone's got planned and I'm seriously contemplating the fish extenders if there is still room. Any extra details on that would be great if I'm able to participate.

Thanks for any updates and hope to be on here a bit more in the next while, these three keep me hopping but most activities that they are involved in are finally wrapping up so I should have more free time to come a visit!!!!

Nicole (and family!)

Okay, I have to apologize for not doing my part in keeping us on page one. Steve was home last week and we painted our two spare bedrooms and, of course, my carpel tunnel flared up and I'm just now able to really type well. I did return Christine's PM but want to give her and her family an official welcome to the group!

Christine,
Did you want to give FE gifts? If so, I have two days that only have 2 other people down for gifts and that is Wednesday/Cozumel and Thursday/At sea. Let me know which you'd prefer.

Lauren,
How's your dad doing? My stepmother was told her cancer is stage 4 but she's decided to go ahead with chemo. Thank you all for your prayers and concern.

Congrats to Drew, Gail. These days, it's quite an accomplishment to receive that HS diploma.

Okay, a shout out to all our teachers. Thanks for the invaluable job you do. My best friend is a teacher so I know that hard work and dedication it takes. So, once again, thank you!

Happy Friday everyone! I second Denise in thanking all of you that teach - after having 3 children get through, a teacher makes all the difference in the world. I will never understand those that teach and do not like children - and yes, they do exist, my kids had them and come to think of it, so did I. My middle one had such an outstanding teacher that he decided that was what he wanted to do - and teach history no less. I can hardly remember birthdays much less all those other dates. So - thanks again.

What is everyone up to for the long weekend? DS is headed to my parents in Ohio after work tonight so we are short one worker (although he did install a dishwasher for me last night so I guess I will let it pass). I should do the shelf in my closet that I didn't get done last weekend and get the odd stuff I have found (winter stuff) put away. I leave for Fargo, ND Tuesday morning so I need to get stuff cleaned up before I leave as the graduation company will be here next Friday.

Well, hope your Friday flies by at work and then slows down so you can enjoy your weekend. Stay safe and enjoy!

Happy Holiday Everyone!!

I am going to take today off and work some on Saturday / Sunday / Monday. For some reason I have had a headache I can't seem to shack. Don't know if it is something I am eating or just something in the air I am reacting to.

We are still getting closer and closer one day at a time. Janet and I are only about 120 days out to when we leave for WDW. I have so much I want to do to get ready but only time will tell how much I can get done. Lois

 

[karibritt01]

Good morning all! I made it through yesterday... what a long day! I got the house clean, dinner was good, and Tucker had a good birthday. Wynn left this AM to go to Indianapolis for the race. The kids and I, and my mom, are going to Charlotte, NC this weekend to visit my sister. I am so ready to relax a bit.

Lois - sorry you have a headache. I get bad headaches as well as migraines. With a regular headache, Advil works well. But if it doesn't respond to Advil, then it is usually a migraine. Excedrin migraine works good for that most of the time. At the very least it keeps it manageable until I can take my migraine medicine. (I have to take that after all my daycare kids leave because it knocks me out! )

 

[Mrs. Gumdrop]

Welcome Christine! I would be interested in potentially participating in some of the activities you mentioned. Maybe we could organize something?

Lois, I didn't realize you were doing a back-to-back. How wonderful! By the time we are tablemates you will be our resident expert.

Thanks for asking Denise, my Dad was continuing to improve and getting stronger. I am a little concerend because I just called the VA hospital and they said he has been gone for a "couple of days"!!! Clearly I have not been call often enough! Can you tell we aren't that close? So now I am trying to track him down.

Unless Dad has taken a turn for the worst DH and I are planning to head down the Charlottesville VA for an overnight trip. We are celebrating out 2nd anniversery and nothing says Love and Committment like a walking tour of Monticello right?

I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend!

Happy Friday Everyone! I've got company coming for the weekend! The in-laws will be here shortly, the kids are super excited to show them the dvd about the cruise since they haven't seen it yet! I'm still interested in info on the fish extenders, I couldn't send a pm to Denise so hopefully she'll see this! I would love to do the thursday if that works. Please let me know the details about what I have to do! Thanks!

Have a super weekend everyone!

 

[karibritt01]

I couldn't send a pm

Get to posting! I think once you have a post count of 10 you can PM. You don't have anything going on around your house anyway, right?

 

[cruisinwith3under5]

No, not at all, never do!!! LOL I realized that afterwards, I'm finding a bit more time these days so hopefully I'll be posting more. How do you get the ticker to work at the bottom of your signature???? I've created one and can't seem to get it to show up....yes, I'm new at this! LOL

 

[cruisinwith3under5]

karibritt01 are you participating in the fish extenders?

 

[Grandma4ever]

karibritt01 are you participating in the fish extenders?

Only need one more post to be able to PM. You are using the wrong link for your ticker so go back and copy the other links and one of them will work. I think one says it is for message boards and I think that is the one you can use.

This is for who ever is keeping the list for the fish extenders. Please add stateroom 2560 for Janet and I. Let me know if you need anything else. Lois

 

[karibritt01]

The ticker: use the IMG code link.

Fish Extenders: You betcha! I don't know yet what I'm bringing... got a few ideas rolling around. Or maybe they are rolling me around!

 

[cruisinwith3under5]

yeah me too on the idea front, hopefully I can still participate! How old are your kids? Mine will be 5, 3 and 1 at the time of the cruise. They are soooooo excited already, can't stop telling everyone about it.

 

[cruisinwith3under5]

we are also doing the MNSSHP on the friday night before, it'll be our first trip to disney for our whole group all 9 of us! Have you done the halloween party before? Some tips beforehand would be greatly appreciated! We've got our tickets already and also make dinner reservations too!

 

[karibritt01]

Tucker turned 10 yesterday. Avery is 5, and will turn 6 in Cozumel. She loves telling everyone that her birthday party this year is in Mexico. I hope she isn't expecting anyone to come to her party!

You're fine getting in on the fish extenders... no worries! Denise has been busy lately and hasn't posted much, but she will get you added to the list. i'm sure that won't be finalized until much closer to the trip.

Will your older 2 be using the kids clubs any? Mine are very excited looking at all the activities. I think we are going to have to force them to spend time with us!

 

[karibritt01]

We are going to skip the Halloween party. I would really like to go, but... we are doing Sea World all day Friday. I think trying to do MNSSHP would be too much on everybody. Plus, I can't justify spending $350 (both parks) in park tickets the day before our cruise. We are going to go to Fort Wilderness for the campfire/sing-along that night. I am hoping we can ride the Haunted Hayride, but haven't seen the schedule yet. If not, we will probably go back to our resort (POP) and swim.

 

[cruisinwith3under5]

I feel the same way, they are so excited about the kids clubs, we've watched the dvd a million times already just so they can see the clubs again and again. I'm sure we'll have to force them to spend time with us! That's great your daughter's having a birthday in mexico, I'll also be celebrating my birthday on the day we set sail! Pretty exciting b'day present! My oldest McKenna is turning 5 on the 14th of June and my youngest Hayley will be 1 on the 12th of June. Carter will be 4 in December. Perhaps McKenn and Avery will hang out together in the club! Have you done a disney cruise before?
