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

[lbgraves]

If we have time and/or the energy after the picnic we might run by Wal-Mart and pick out a booster seat for DS. I keep putting it off but I really need to just bite the bullet and do it. I think I keep making excuses for putting it off because I think he might be safer in his nice 5 point harness car seat but he really is getting too big for it. Legally he could have been in a booster since mid-May.

I think that everyone goes thru this. I just couldn't believe that he would be as save in that. Actually the hardest change was when he was too tall for the highback booster. I went to the fire house to have them make sure he would be ok. Be sure to get one that will lock the strap to the side of the seat so that he wont be able to get loose.

They are calling for 87 as the high here tomorrow. I think it just might be the last of the hot weather since a cold front is moving through and the highs for the next 10 days are not forecast to rise much above 70. The high for Tuesday is only supposed to be 62 with lows in the low 40’s. Brrrrr! I might have to turn on the heater that night.

Today it is finally not raining! It is overcast though. Tomorrow is a pool party for DH's work group so I hope that the 80s is true here too.

DS has a birthday party to go to on Sunday afternoon. I need to go out and buy the birthday boy a gift. I asked DS what he likes and he said trucks really quickly. He then started talking about Bob the Builder so I think I have a good idea of what he would like. Now I just need to find something in my price range. I have been giving things in the $5 range. Is that reasonable for preschool classmate’s parties? I never know how much I should spend.

I think that $5 is reasonable. Kids that age have so many little things. You can get alot of things in that range. I always kept a tub with clearanced toys in it so it was easy when the parties started. There sure were alot of them in PS. There haven't been any in elementary school so far.

but you wouldn't do that to a fellow Geek...would you...That'd be like mutiny or something.

RESPECT THE CODE.... ARGGGGG

(Besides there are way bigger offenders out there with there fifty some eggs and stuff like that.)

I was just answering the question.

 

[lbgraves]

We still have an assortment of each. I am partial to DVD because of having DVD player in the car, but we still have our VHS. DrHug has been converting some of our family VHS tapes to DVD. DD's wedding etc. It is time consuming though and he has not gotten very far with it.

DH has started doing that with our cruise tapes. I want to learn how so that I can work on the kid's birthday tapes, baby videos, and our wedding tape too.

 

[lbgraves]

So why is this my responsibility? Grandparent's Day . What do you mean "My cousin mentioned she received a card" ended with raised eyebrow.

Another Halmark Holiday.

 

[lbgraves]

I gave in and ended up going to Target. I found a ton of little things....3 JBJ books that we don't have (DS will be THRILLED!!!), lots of dollar section Disney princess goodies, shelves for DS's room, GBA Mario Party 50% off!!!!!, and some cool outlet covers for DS's room so that I can get rid of all the car stuff. Everything I bought was on clearance. Oh, I also picked up a kid's snorkle set for 75% off and some speedo goggles too.

Oh my, have a come to the end of the thread. I usually spend 35 minutes of my lunch just catching up, now what? It has only been 10 minutes.

[lbgraves]

I know that the weather is beautiful here & we will probably be outside after I bring the kids home.

 

[pjpoohbear]

I went to the kids section to see what the JBJ books are all about, us Aunts need to be up to date on these things. So, could not find anything, help! Author? Age Group?

Pj

Ps. this is the way I got started on the HP books, now I am waiting for the last one with bated breath. She needs to get that book out soon or she may lose fans. I know it is coming next year, maybe, but it has been a long wait.

 

[MMcCarthy]

we finally are not suppose to have rain all weekend. I get to leave work in 14 minutes give or take a minute. Tonight I play softball at 10pm. I hate these late games especially late in the season. The field is right by the river and it gets darn cold. OW just put on layers and do your best.

tomorrow we actually get to sleep in. DH says all we are doing tomorrow until DS's soccer game is cleaning the house. I wish he would realize that I do that each night and really have no desire to spend any of my weekend doing it. DD just informed me that she will not be going to the soccer game due to homework. OW at least she has her priorities straight.

sunday we are planning on going to the renaissance faire but the bengals are playing. I think DH will probably take one of those little tvs with him. our van has a DVD player in it but no tv. I can't wait it sounds like loads of fun.

everyone have a great weekend.

Missy, I did get the package mailed on Tues. It is coming regular mail and is a padded envelope. Should be there in a couple of days.

 

[MrsMork]

DrHug is in the shower and then we are going to town to visit with friends who have their grandson visiting. He is a few months old and we have not yet seen him. GS lives in CA and this is his first trip to grandma and grandpa's.

summer is over? what? Tell that to FL!! It's hot as all get out here!

Tonight, not sure what we are doing....

tomorrow night is a HUGE game - UF vs Tenn...starts at 8, so I'll have to get out my Gator candles and start the chanting early.

My plan was to go shopping in the morning, maybe WM to get some cruise stuff....travel toiletries etc. I'm sure the girls will love to be drug around!

Don't forget your tent and your black light....

I am sure DH or I will be around for some of chat.

Actually I think I will call the computer now so it will be me here for chat.

DH - sorry you can't say I didn't call it first!
