The kids are begging to sign the cards for the cruise group. Off to referee!

Do you feel like Tom Sawyer and the white washed fence?

 

[klineyqueen]

Brandi - could Jake wear a short Size 5 navy Capt's jacket and pants?

He could grow into it. He is just now in a size 4. He is tall but rather skinny.

 

[klineyqueen]

I am in total catch up mode. I hope you guys all had a great weekend!!!!

 

[klineyqueen]

I am starting to hit total stress out mode. I do not have a single gift wrapped. I do not have a thing packed. I still need to make some calendars for Christmas. STRESSING OUT!!! I still didn't even start my term paper that is due on Saturday!!!! AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!

 

[brack]

I am in total catch up mode. I hope you guys all had a great weekend!!!!

Right now I am just the opposite because I have had a very free weekend here in NC. I have been able to read and post almost all day long, everyday!

It didn't help me with any s though. I think the turkey "poisoning" slowed my reflexes all weekend!

I'm in the midst of printing out Christmas Card address labels when I hear the front doorbell...

We received our cruise documents!

WOO HOO!!! THAT IS AWESOME!!!! We are still waiting for ours!

 

[klineyqueen]

Hmmm....I have to decide if I want to address them by hand or print them out.

I am printing mine out.

 

[klineyqueen]

I went to a fight one night and a hockey game broke out!

We are going to a Hershey Bears game on Wednesday night.

Here is the doorsign I have been working on for the kids. This will be their 3rd cruise with John's DD.

That is great! What a beautiful door sign. I really love it.

 

[klineyqueen]

Yeah i think that's what my mom thought when she spelled my name with a "K". I can never get any cool personalized stuff or anything....

When DD came along i wanted to name her something more common but DH wouldn't let me. When she a baby we never had an issue with her name but when we moved from State College all of a sudden there were boy Devin's (diff spelling) all over the place.....She even had a Devin in her K,1st and 2nd grade class.

Jake or Jacob is on everything. Then there is Eliza...I always joke that I will buy something with Elizabeth and scrape off the beth part!!!!

 

[Jhalkias]

Good morning everyone!

John, the kids love the house!

Well, now the inside is done . . . all but Sophia's Princess tree that we will wait for her to come and do.

What an AWFUL Brown's game . . . glad I didn't go . . . 30-0! Congratulations on embarassing us in our own house Missy!

I would be stressed, but I am too tired to be stressed!

Nice John! Love your house.

Do I need a tripod???

Caroline . . .

You only need a tripod now if you are going to take pictures like those I took of my house. You do not even need one for the show pictures if you set the camera right . . . I did not need one last year, and frankly, it would be a pain to carry around.

I still took some sunset pictures on the top deck . . . I just braced the camera on a railing, and "Took what I could Get"!

There is a neat flexible one that may be worth it, Carla mentioned it once . . .

Here it is on Amazon.com:

So did John or did John not get an upgrade?


I just checked...we didn't.

 

[Jhalkias]

I wonder how those who slept in the stairwells the night before will be feeling at this point?

Ready to "Run for the Hammocks"!

[Jhalkias]

Good Job there John

Nice sneaky there CJS!

Today I had to buy something for my shuffle. I got an adaptor to use to charge it when I am on the trip. You guys have me hooked already!

 

[klineyqueen]

That is what the beach bag is for. DD is good at the quick changes in the bathroom.

I have 'rella and Snow White for DD for this trip.

 

[klineyqueen]

I need to package up some stuff I sold on ebay. I will catch you guys tonight.

 

[Jhalkias]

OH MY!

I also got a 256 flash drive for $5, it is some brand I don't know, Ativa? Is that at least decent? what I need?

I'm sure it will work V . . . I don't think brand matters . . . my only question would be is 256mb ENOUGH? I have a feeling there could be lots of pictures to share.
