It looks like they had a great time, Marielle! Very nice pictures!

Good Morning . . .

I am waiting for Amy to get ready so that we can leave . . . she is not feeling the greatest this morning, but I told her, I cannot handle two little girls on my own - especially when they need to use the restroom!

BTW - I am NOT in favor of her challenge.

Hopefully we will be leaving soon - but unfortunately, it looks like we may get some rain. It just figures, no rain for about a month, until I plan to take my daughter to an amusement park!

All that talk about massages last night . . . BTW Kim, I am just like your DH . . . I don't think I could handle a male masotherapist - heck, I don't even go to a male doctor now. I have (for whatever reason) a stronger belief that a female can be more professional and clinical. Heck, it even took a lot of persuasion by Amy to get me to go to a masotherapist in the first place. I know someone may say that we are not comfortable with our own masculinity - I have absolutely no problem with people doing whatever they want in their own personal lives . . . but, call it what you want, I just would NOT want a man laying his hands on me!

Of course, it really doesn't matter since I am too cheap to have one anyway . . .

outlet shopping

ok now i'm confused again... (doesn't take much)

i thought you said you were flying today. or am i mistaken?

i know you said you are going to the aquarium on fri. When are you going home? (you could pm me)


Had to wake up DD today with....(in the immortal words of nemo)

TIME FOR SCHOOL, TIME FOR SCHOOL

Marielle -- great pictures...looks like a fun time.

So far the storm path has shifted right. The 8 am advisory had it listed as a TS. Let's hope for all in the path that is stays a TS or downgrades further.

Monday morning - aren't they fun. We have auditors here as year end is quicky approaching. This will drastically cut into my DIS time.

 

[87Heel]

Thanks, all. I had fun with the "white shirts at the beach" photo session (well, for as long as they would cooperate!!)

Good luck at the park John. That's one we haven't done yet, but as coaster fans, we really should.

Another accomplishment this week was that DS is making potty progress!! Now he'll go every time on our prompting (but haven't advanced to him telling us yet) and he's staying dry in between. Yesterday he stayed dry through the drive from Little River SC to our dinner stop in Alexandria VA (he slept through our 1 pitstop earlier). He will turn 3 on Thursday... what a birthday present!

Good luck with the auditing, Vanessa!

 

[87Heel]

The auditors aren't tracking DIS time, are they?!!

if you go Saturday...i can probably scare the family into going too...

I haven't been there since a trip in MS. DH and DD have never been.

 

[lbgraves]

Caroline said that she can go on Saturday too. I will let DH know that is the plan.

goodness I hope not or I should just pack up my office now!

 

[becka]

Becka- Your DD is always welcome to stay with us at CC while you and your DH go to SB for awhile. I am sure she will play with the kids or even take a nap at eh beach. Don't worry about it, you would also be amazed at how behaved children are for other people!!

Thanks for the offer Amy but while it would have been nice to go to SB for a little while it is not the end of the world for us. I think she will take a nap while we are there so if DS is in the club and DD is napping we can still enjoy some quiet time there on the family beach.

 

[becka]

I've grown to love Lean Cuisines. Have you tried the Chicken and Penne Pasta one? It's so delicious and even comes with a yummy apple dessert all for about 330 calories!

I don't think I will ever grow to love them but some of them are not half bad. I really like the southwest club panini sandwich. Unfortunately it is expensive so I don't get as many of them as I would like.

If it works out like it usuallly does...we will all be in the same area of the family beach anyway.

 

[becka]

Well you guys were not too chatty last night so I caught up.

I really should get to work but I am sure I will try to check in later in the day.

Great pictures Marielle!

I hope Ernesto goes back out into the ocean and stays far away from anyone!

I hope John1/Amy have a great rain-free day!

I hope V is not being tracked by auditors!

I hope Lisa starts to feel better about her trip soon!

Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of "quiet time"?

I can't imagine any place this group is at as being quiet!

That's what DH is afraid of.... ( I might have to send him over to the other side of the island)

One time we had dinner at Palo and happened to get sat next to another Dis'r i had been chatting with. (she was a chatty Libra like me...) Her DBF and my DH were not amused with all the chit chat. You could tell they were the more quiet types.

So i have to promise DH some (that'll be hard) non-DIS group time on the boat. (maybe a couple spa trips)

I wanted to try the SPA villas but haven't won the lottery or found any banks i could rob for the cost. Maybe just a regular couples stone massage and some rainforest time. Although some of the other massages sound good too...

does anyone know if you can get the stone massage done at the huts on CC. or are they just the other kind?
