12/09/06 Cruise Continued ~ Pirating Bananas DIS Geekorama Part 2 Part 6

[Jhalkias]

I think Aaron could be a good Will Turner ....he would have to darken the stasch and wanna be beard ..LOL but its all in fun ...John you will have to lighten yours a lil bit , or let the grey show Just kidding

OK, just an FYI - because I get asked this all the time . . . No color in my hair. I am beginning to get the slightest bit of salt in my stache, but not much grey in the hair. My father (now 84) did not start turning seriously grey until his 60's . . . must be good Greek genes!

Yes, but like Amy said....there is nothing on. I don't even want to watch Lifetime tonight. I'm only half listening but she is pretty psycho!

Watching Turner Classic Movie channel. John Wayne and William Holden are on.

Do you eat those sandwiches Bella? Would once a week be enough for you? It sounds so weird but I suppose it's about as nutritious as peanut butter and jelly.

Actually I was never a fluff fan as a child, not big on marshmallows however once this came up here I decided to try it again

Becka, many, many people take their kids out of school for a week in the early years. We took DGKs out every year for DL in May and sometimes for WDW in Dec. After DGS started high school we did not. He is now in honors classes and earning college credit as a junior in HS, so I guess it did not hurt him academically to miss a week now and then. Family is just too important and you go when you can go. I will have to add though that they did not miss much school other than those trips.

I may have said this before, so skip if I am repeating myself . .

We took DS out for a week every year from 2nd grade to Jr year in HS. He did fine. On one cruise he came back and the next day got the highest score on the biogenetics test. Teacher said he should have taken the whole class.

We would never change what we did with him and school and he has been fine. At this point, we will probably do the same with Sophia. My only caveat would be if my child were struggling in school in any way. Everyone has to gauge their own children, and what is best, but I think for most kids it does not hurt, and in many ways may enhance their education. Just think how much they will learn about pirates on this cruise!

[kimerinc]

Hey! I found some smileys in costume.

 

[Bella2000]

Also while checking the DCL website, I decided to add up everything I have booked. Ummmmm.... I think I will have to decide between the massage and the dolphins.

That's why I asked the question about paying in advance of cruise.

 

[lillygator]

we're wtching the Prefontae movie...in case you didn't know DH ran track all through college, 2nd in the state at one point.......makes for some very slow movies sometimes although I like Steve P!

 

[Jhalkias]

Look what I found on Ebay!

Are you going to make Aaron wear that after he shaves for his pirate costume?

[Bella2000]

So John1 unless I ended up in your spam/junk colum how many "F"s did you count??

 

[lillygator]

Becka - did you see the one with the tutu and leggings with that top? It's sized 18-24m

No I just saw the shirt.

 

[Bella2000]

Now isn't the time to wonder whether I took my zyrtec this morning but my itchy nose and watery eyes don't think I did.

 

[becka]

I just went back and saw it V. Cute but I already have some black leggings she could wear and she really would not need the tutu.

I can't believe that I forgot to tell you guys about my WM find today!!!! Sorry...but they don't have that many good deals & this one is a doozie!!! Has anyone seen the Disney pillow panels that they have for $7 or more? Most of the princesses, Buzz & Woody, the castle, Pooh, etc. Well, DD convinced/conned us to get her Jasmine a couple months ago. I walked by the craft department today just to see what was on clearance & I was stunned to see them marked down to $1.50 each!!!! The packs of 4 pieces of fabric were marked down too!!! I got the fabric for Buzz & Woody for DS's pillow that I picked up a while ago. I also found Aurora, Snow White, Cinderella, Belle, The castle, Mickey, & princess Minnie. They also had beaded trim marked down to .45 for 3 yards! I found a light white fabric with glitter running thru it to put 1 1/2 inches around the panels and back the pillow. I am so excited!!!! When I put DD's shelf up and clear off the stuffed animals from her bed, I am going to line these up against the spindle headboard that is attached to the side of her twin bed. I am thinking that she will like them.

 

[lillygator]

LIsa - what a great find!

We will have to figure out how to get you a beard ...grey the stasch then red and blonde to get the right color ...lol Just For Men is perfect ..LOL and youll have no problem going back to black ..LOL

 

[klineyqueen]

I disagree, and I am wondering if I should grow it longer. I would love to "go all out" and dress the part, but $

The glasses could be a problem, I can't see without them.

Awww...come on...shave it for your DW! It will grow back!

 

[lillygator]

I just love the sellers who list Bucs things as "pirate" things with no mention of the bucs!
