Hi everyone,

I know I'm late to the conversation and new to the boards, but I wanted to add my name to the list. My wife and I booked our cruise back in March and have gleaned some good (and very encouraging) information off the boards here, particularly regarding food allergies for our two children, aged 5 and 2.

This is our first cruise. We're very excited, and maybe a little overwhelmed.

Hi ! Welcome! I'm Jen and will be traveling with DH Mark and daughters Sarah 7 and Emma 2

 

[sarahsmom73]

Happy 13th Birthday Angelina!!!!

Hope you have a great day!!!!

Morning everyone!

We made it to the last week of school! Report cards are done... Now I have to help with the end of the year slideshow.. Did any of your kids watch Camp Rock? The music is pretty good! We are going to add some of that today..

The kids have half days and I have soooooooo much music to file.. I hope to have everything packed by the end of Thursday so I can walk out on Friday at 10:30!

What's new and exciting?

Evening Ladies, Wow almost on page two today. Well no bbq for us today my uncle was working on his car this morning and got his hand crushed in the motor . They went to the hospital and it is broken in several places..he is on pain meds and cranky so my aunt decided to cancel. So we ended up shopping and driving my kids to all their various friends houses. Fun fun. Well i am off to work with LTL and her non girlfriend.. .I will catch up tomorrow. Have a nice night everyone.

Uh oh - poor guy! LOL SOOOOOOOOOOOO did you get anything good when you went shopping??? Anything exciting at work last night??

Good Morning Bahama Mama's (& a Bahama Papa now too )

Well no-one was around for sailaway last night so I hope you were all having a nice evening

I'm off to town with my mum this morning, and then I'm meeting up with one of my best friends, who I haven't seen for 6 months as she's been juggling two jobs. She's got this week off work, so we're going to my fave restaurant for lunch - I can't wait to see her

No other plans for today, so I'll catch you later

Have a great day everyone

Morning Mandy!

No sailaway for me last night, my mom was down all day - her bday was Saturday, and being there was parties galore, we celebrated yesterday. ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.. we went shopping to get some curtains for my family room - there were just blinds there since Carm painted LAST January - I kept saying I wanted to get something for that window and just couldn't find anything - so finally found something! So that was good!

Have fun w/your friend this afternoon, I love a girl's lunch! Especially w/no kids!!

Did you finish all of your shopping for the upcoming trip this week?? She must be SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited to go!

So - today, Carm and I are BOTH off! We are heading w/the boys to the Jackson Outlets to TRY to do some cruise shopping - mostly stuff for the boys, I deal w/myself later, and Carm actually picked up some shirts for himself a while ago. So, we'll see what we find! I did pick up 2 pairs of shorts for Ant and 3 shirts the other day. So, he is doing pretty well! I had some stuff in his closet that is brand new that I bought a few months ago that he has never worn also. Dominic is another story - he has NOTHING! LOL Gotta start from scratch w/that kid! He hates to shop and try stuff on, so it's ALWAYS a project, and he is between sizes - so it's hard to judge. Shirts are ok - I can grab whatever, but it's shorts - UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

So, we are heading out early to go shopping, hoping to be back by 1ish - Dominic is supposed to hang out w/his friend this afternoon.

Work for me tomorrow - then, Carm and Dominic are going w/ our friends Scott and Lenny to the Mets game - SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - I am working and meeting them all at our friend's house (it's our friends that we usually go visit on CCD days up north) - they live about 10 mins from my job, so, the 4 guys will go to the game, and Toni and I will take the other two boys for dinner, then Ant and I will go home!

Oh, and not sure if I told you this but............................ the boss is heading to Italy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He leaves on Thursday!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alright - gotta go back a few pages and catch up on the rest!!

 

[LaurieWDW05]

Alright - let me start off by saying this....

I scrolled back, hit all of the "+" to reply to a TON of things... got to the LAST one - and got booted from AOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO - here is the short version:

Mandy - the graduation party was OK - uneventful - my MIL made eggplant parm - so, that was good! LOL This Dr. Who has me intrigued - have to try and catch it - SANDY - when is it on and what network??

Michele - sounds like Cristina had a good time - and next time I think you should have Jeff come and pick you guys up! LOL OH - AND - did Cristina get her new car for Father's Day? Not sure if you mentioned that.

Sandy - Glad Tori likes her suit - no problem picking it up! WOO HOOO for the end of soccer!! You must be THRILLED!! One less thing to do!!

Betty - Sounds like you had fun over the weekend - What did you think of Kung Fu Panda? I thought it was pretty good! Don't you love adult conversation - it is a wonderful thing! But, usually during adult conversation - what do you talk about????? KIDS! LOL

Jen - I got you in your last posts.

Suz - Where are you??

Veronica - HELLO? Are you out there???

Danielle - Pics?? HELLO?? LOL

Diane - Hope all is well w/you!

Pam - I still haven't seen your pics.

Mary Ellen - Hi - how are things w/you?

Did I get everyone? Not sure - sorry if I missed anyone!

BTW - did anyone see Get Smart over the weekend? I want to see that - LOVE the "Rock" - maybe if we catch a rainy day this week I'll take the boys.. I am only working Tuesday and MAYBE Friday - if I can bring the boys - the boss will be gone, so it should be ok - but, I want to check w/my mother first - OF course she SHOULD say yes - but, we'll see!

Hey Laurie

It sounds like you've had a busy weekend, I'm sure it was fun celebrating with your family. Have fun shopping today, do you think it's easier buying clothes for boys than girls (girls are a nightmare sometimes )

Yes Kerry is all ready for her holiday now, she's just got a couple of dresses to pack tomorrow and then she'll be leaving home at 4am on Wednesday morning I've just dropped Kerry and her friend Bex down at our local Chinese all-you-can-eat-buffet as a treat for finishing college for the year (so that's 1 less person I have to cook for later )

I've just got back from a lovely lunch, and a bargain it was too. There was an offer for a 3 course meal for 7.95 (approx $15 ea), so I had filled potato skins to start, penne pasta with bacon, mushrooms and a creamy sauce followed by cinnamon waffle with ice cream - it was delish So I guess my diet will be starting tomorrow It was great to see my friend, and we had a good laugh while we caught up with each others news

Will it be party-time when your boss goes on holiday ? I bet you'll be glad to see the back of him for a while

Have a great day with Carm and the boys, and I'll catch you later

Happy Birthday Angelina!

Welcome to our group Jonschweitzer!

Jen, Brennan and I watched Camp Rock at a friends house Saturday and it was cute. Brennan really liked the music.

Derek's on night shift this week so we are going to try and do some stuff this week with the boys in the mornings. Brennan has his all star tournament this week with games (an hour away) tonight, Wednesday and Friday. Keegan has all star practice tonight, Thursday and Saturday. Looks like tomorrow is our only free night and we have an old family friends stopping by. Brennan will be done after Saturday, but Keegan's games will go through mid August. They both start football conditioning July 28th. They are extra early starting this year. I was hoping for some kind of sports break! They are both done with their regular season baseball teams so that's now 5 less games a week!

I managed to upload pictures on our kodak gallery site. I'm going to post the link and hope it works. It should come up with a little picture that looks like a slide that you can double click on without joining the site. The last couple of hundred pictures Brennan took using my little point and shoot digital so there are a lot of ducks, It's a small world and toontown signs--- http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=11ts6mtz.2db2t09z&x=0&h=1&y=-a2d7gs&localeid=en_US

Afternoon ladies-

Mandy- I'm so excited for Kerry, wish I was headed out on holiday on Wednesday too - tell her we expect to see pictures

Michele- yup, I'm still a busy bee. It's good though 'cause I will need all the $ when I get home from this vacation

Laurie- Hope you have fun shopping w/ the boys. Ian absolutely hates to shop, unless it's for toys - Dr Who is on BBC America on Friday nights. The season is almost over though. I think BBC America is about two weeks behind what is actually on in the UK - We haven't watched Camp Rock yet, but we have it recorded

Heather- great pics thanks for sharing

Danielle- Thanks for the link, I will have to check them out when things slow down here

Hi to everyone else
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELINA
