2006 DVC Member Cruise - SSMC06 - October 22, 2006 Part 3

[MarkRG]

Mary--you have to post pictures!!

Here you go, a total shot of everything:

And since Mary's not home, I had a special guest to model:

 

[MaryJ]

I ordered the ash grey T-shirts for Ken and me, a long sleeve T-shirt just for me, and the ornament.

 

[WDWLVR]

I had Mark take a close-up of the ornament and mug. The ornament is the same size as the ones you can get at WDW. The mug is a nice large one (not huge but larger than a regular one).

 

[RRBB]

I didn't ask David what he wanted, but I ordered the green shirts for the two of us and the white - since that was the only option - for Ian. I'm thinking of attempting to dye Ian's green though.

 

[WDWLVR]

I'm really happy with cafepress. Ordering was easy, communication was great including e-mailing a tracking number, and packing was nice and secure. Diana I know I've said it before but thank you for doing all the research that got us here. Great choice and I can't wait to see everyone in their SSMC06 gear!

I'm off to Disney tonight with my girlfriends until Wednesday AM and I'm getting excited. I managed to pack in a carry on and a bag - now let's see what the airline lets me get away with.

T shirts - I am thinking of getting the pink cause I like it but then I'll be the only one. Matt said he wants ash or white so that's what he's getting.

Julie, you are so lucky with all the trips you take. Quite the jet setter -- I wish I had done that back in my early days. Have fun at WDW!

What, Matt won't wear pink? I think we should challenge some of the men on this cruise to see who actually would.

I haven't ordered anything yet either. I just mentioned to Gary on his way out for the night that we really should do that. The free shipping expires today and something tells me that we're not going to make it this round. So, if anyone else gets a discount, I'd appreciate if you'd pass it along. Things have just been so crazy for us lately with the boys in various activities. Cameron now begs for a night when we get to stay home for the entire night.

Speaking of staying home for the night, Cameron babysat Walker the other night while Gary and I went to CPR class. We were just down the road and my neighbors were home. Our regular babysitter wasn't available and short of calling out a favor, we didn't have anyone to stay with the boys. We have to recertify every year for my daycare licensing so not going wasn't an option. If there had been a problem, Gary would have come home and brought them back to the class. Fortunately, Walker was on his best behavior and Cameron didn't let his authority go to his head. I suppose it didn't hurt that I threatened both of them with severe groundings if they misbehaved.

I also have a very strange thing happen this week. Coming out of pickup up Walker at school, a bunch of ducks were sitting in a pond. All of the sudden, these ducks start flying out of the water and two of them slammed right into a brick wall of the building by the pond. I have never seen that before. One of them recovered and just kept flying. The other was like a ton of bricks and hit the ground. Walker wanted to go over and check on the duck, but I was afraid of what state it might be in and whether or not it would be scared enough to attack. So, we waited and watched. It took a couple of minutes, but we did see the duck stand back up. It truly looked like it didn't have a clue as to what happened and I suspect it was knocked out in the process (can that happen to ducks). We watched a while longer and did see it walking, very slowly around. It still looked dazed when we left. I tell you, it must be mating season! All you ladies should tell your DH/SO that they are lucky they don't have to fly into brick walls to get your attention.

Very nice. They look nice in ash. It's nice to see the finished product.

I'm thinking we'll probably order the white since we're limited to that in Walker's size. The big decision for Gary is the t-shirt/golf shirt. I have no idea which one he's going to prefer.

The mugs look awesome too!

Is anyone thinking about the sweatshirt? I kind of am for myself.

And.....Mark, your model is cute!


I second what Mary has said. Thanks Diana!!!!

 

[Diana Lyn]

Thanks Mark and Mary for posting the pics! I'm really impressed with how great everything came out. I'm also glad we went with cafepress because now that the initial set up is done, my job is done. I don't have to worry about anything. I can just sit back and relax while waiting for the cruise.

I don't know when I'm going to place my order, I still haven't even begun to think about what I want to get. The mug looks amazing! As a side note, there are other mugs available, so if anyone would like to see those, I can put them up on the store.

Thanks for all the compliments about the store!

Mike and Mary,

Those pics look great! Thanks! Now if only remember to order my things. I was all set to order yesterday, and a friend called. One thing led to another we talked forever. LOL! Oh well, I will have a lime green shirt before we sail! Thanks again!

 

[BCVOwner2002]

How cool is this? I just realized I can get to this thread with my new blackberry! Now I wish I charged the battery before leaving for Philly. Mark and Mary the pictures of cruise stuff looks great. I'm going to order when I get home tonight. Have a good day everyone. Annmarie

 

[4Gus-Gus&Figaro]

Morning all!

 

[curtdennis]

Happy Saturday all -


Here I am, once again accidently inflating my spouse's post count by forgetting to log her off. Anyway, she would wish you all a good morning, if she were awake right now. Me, I've been lurking more than posting this week.

Hope all are well or on the mend.

Have fun with you weekend projects, parties or activities. I'll be here all day (at work - gumble, grumble)....

 

[WDWLVR]

Good morning!

Annmarie - that's great that you can pick it up on your blackberry. I just got a new PDA that has wi-fi so we can keep up with the thread after our cruise while at Disney.

Had a lot of fun in chat last night. Had a nice visit with Chris (sanddune) who isn't one of our regulars.

Amy- good luck with the party today!

Diana - have fun at the circus and your crop!

 

[Diana Lyn]

Diana - have fun at the circus and your crop!

Morning all!

Thanks Mary.

Amy have a great party! I can't wait to see the pics!!

I'm heading out to step class now then I'm off to the circus at 10. Did I ever tell you guys that clowns scare the heck out me? Oh, the things we do for our children.

The immediately after the circus, I'm heading to a crop. I'll be home around 11 pm. I'm already tired.

 

[Stitch#1]

Good Morning All!!!
I had fun in chat last night! I would have liked to have stayed longer but I really needed some sleep.

To all Scrapbookers - Happy Scrapbooking Day!!!!
My local Scrap store opened at 6am so of course I stopped by on my way to the bank! I only spent $27 .

Well today we will be having on & off showers here. Nick & I will be heading out shortly. We our going to Barnes & Noble to here my friend Jen talk about the book she wrote, The Boy who Grew Flowers, then we will be going to Stockbridge Mass. with her and her son to go to the Norman Rockwell Museum to see the Dinotopia Art exhibit!

Have a great day everyone!!

Missed chat again. Hope you guys had fun! Deanna had a soccer game and then after the game, one of the girls parents invited the team over for a bon fire. Needless to say we didn't leave there until midnight - but we had a great time!

 

[iluvdisney]

Someday I'm going to have enough energy to stay and chat with you longer on Fridays - I'm just so tired lately - hopefully my upcoming vacation will re-energize me - I sure do need it! Where's that crazy bunny with the batteries when I need him???

 

[cgcw]

So just how late were your all in chat?

I know I left about 10 when Walker & Gary came home. But I did stick around long enough to say goodbye --- twice, no less.

 

[tinkerbelle77]

Morning all!

Sorry I missed chat...Couldn't resist a little Cinco De Mayo celebration. (at least I thought it would be little) I way over stayed my time frame, and way overdrank my limit. So I am feeling it here at work this morning. But thats my fault. Hope everyone has a great day! Its beautiful here.

Hey everyone! Well, the birthday party is over, and I'm officially exhausted. The kids had a good time, and we got some cute pictures of Madison. I'm so glad that birthdays are only once a year!!
