John, I know of 3 local places with Webkinz in stock (at least they had them in yesterday and Wednesday), so let me know if you need shopping assistance.

I looked up the stores that have them online. We will be on a Webkinz safari tomorrow. If I strike out, I will let you know!

Thanks Marielle!

Good night - I need to get to bed.

Hi Brandi!
Can't believe you are almost finished! Our district is in school until June 15!
Aren't you coming to my area for a scrapbooking show in June or July? I've been working on my cruise scrapbook the past few days.

My mom and I will be attending the Scrapbook Convention at Valley Forge. We are arriving on Thursday and staying until Saturday.

Hey Brandi!

We missed you too!

When we were at our High School May Show (Musical) Amy said we should drive to PA and show up at Brandi's school show! That would have been a hoot!

Have a GREAT time at WDW!

That would have been awesome!!!!! I would have died! Our show this year was over the top.

It is 4:30 AM and I am so excited about the trip I can't sleep. We are leaving at 7 AM. I am worried about a delay or cancelation due to tropical storm Barry. I just checked SWA and we are still on time.We are on flight 2266 from PHL or Orlando.

Have a great week everyone.

 

[MrsMork]

Have fun, Brandi!

Marielle, beautiful girls, especially OURS!

John, happy shopping!

We have started our cleanup in preparation to sell. This weekend is dumpster weekend. I had a huge dumpster delivered yesterday. I stated on one of the garages, sorting into piles of throw away, yard sale (3 weeks from now), keep at the house and put in storage. We have so much STUFF! Hopefully, DD1 and DSIL will be over to help us today. We have 2 garages, a barn, a storage shed and a storage room to sort thru. OY!

The important question is: Do you and Dennis agree on what goes into the throw away, yard sale and keep piles... or do things just get reclassified into the keep pile??!!!!

good luck... what a project!

Save some fun for us! We'll be there by noon on Wednesday.

Hey John,
Stop breaking the clocks at the arena ... I want to watch the game!

We do not always agree. But I must say he was pretty good today. He did not even flinch when I started tossing all the photo magazines from the late 90's! We made a pretty good dent in the upper garage and just a little headway in the lower garage - where the real trouble is. We have Dennis' mom's stuff down there along with stuff left by DS when he and family moved to AZ and then all the junk that our real collecter, DD2 has drug home and stuck in there. It is a MESS! DSIL is such a great help to us, he encourages Dennis to "let it go, Dad" and then hauls it to the dumpster. OY! My lower back is spasming and I plan to go lie down soon. We are on our own tomorrow to continue working on the lower garage and hopefully the barn. When we finally found some chairs to pull up and sit on around 6 tonight, DD said, "How on earth do people GET this much stuff?" 40 years and 3 kids, I told her. She and said I am going to just get rid of it as I go."

Can you believe that?

I MISSED the whole first half . . . we had a previous commitment at a church dinner and silent auction - OY!

BUT . . .

Just checking in from the home of the NBA Eastern Conference Champions!

GO CAVS!​

What a series!

Well I finally have "the plan" for our November trip. I think we must be crazy to even consider this especially with the way my two little ones have been acting today but at the same time I am looking forward to some more time at WDW. It will have been almost 2 years since our last trip by the time this November rolls around.

We don't really want to do 2 full days back to back. Daily afternoon breaks with such short park hours don't do us a whole lot of good so we have tried to vary mostly full days with half days so the kids (and us ) can get some rest - with not too many late nights. In addition I have tried to make ADRs for places that we are not only interested in and that hit the characters my kids want to see but that also seem to have food available that will work for my DS's food allergies. We want to see Fantasmic twice during our visit because it is DS's most favorite thing at WDW. Our favorite parks as a family are MK and AK. We also are not scheduling for any of the special Christmas events like MVMCP or the CP. We may try to view the Osbourne Lights at MGM one evening we are there for Fantasmic if we have time.

[pjpoohbear]

Sounds like a great plan, Becka! I am still in awe that you drive all that way in one push.

 

[Jhalkias]

Just an FYI guys . . .

The folks on our Repo cruise have really taken a liking to Bobby. We are now coming up with a plan so that Bobby can visit as many of the people on this cruise as possible before the cruise.

Bobby has become a true legend, and it would not have happened without Bobby's first crew - the GEEKS!

It's OK... we know Bobby loves us best!

Oh, and does evil Bobby get to cruise the canal, too?

 

[87Heel]

Becka, sounds like a great plan. November will be here before you know it!

Well . . . I actually think we have evil Bobby, since he is the deflated one, but I plan on having Bobby "rise" again.

So, you can bet your sweet banana, Bobby will be cruising the canal (that doesn't sound quite right, but Oh well)!

 

[87Heel]

Bobby/Evil Bobby... I never could tell them apart. You'd think it would be obvious.

Annette and I still have "Good" Bobby here in Baltimore. We're taking him with us to WDW this week. Pictures to follow.

Hey Brack.... Good Bobby could go stay with Arlene and Judy for some R&R if you guys meet up....

Oh, John, you are a bad boy.
