Diane~do you think your 2 younger girls are going to go to the clubs much? I can't remember if you have been on the cruise before?? My girls don't LOVE the clubs but they go when we need them to or if something sounds interesting.

Last time Sami was 6 going on 7 and she was in the youngest club, we went to visit but she never went on her own. Becca was 11 going on 12 aand she tried it but didn't like it and signed herself out and then couldn't find us because we were at a show and couldn't hear the pager, she was a little upset by that and then didn't go back. Since there are 8 in our group, including 5 adults, there was always some one to hang with, so we didn't really need the "babysitter" type service. This time they are both in the same clubbut there is so much to do, I;m not sure they will get bored. They may want to go it the others do.

Good Morning Bahama Mama's

Paul & I had a lovely time yesterday. We wandered around the shops, where Paul got some golf shoes and a CD he was after. All I bought were some skull tights for Kerry for Pirate Night

We had a lovely meal last night and a few drinky-poos too

The girls had a sleepover here and it sounds like they had a good time with their friends and they had a Chinese take-out last night

Michele & Laurie - I hope the 'Evil Twins' had fun yesterday, and that Ant enjoyed his party too. I hope we get to see some pics today

Jen - I know what you mean about it being quiet when the kids are away. It was very quiet when Kerry went to Cyprus. I hope she's having lots of fun and that you buy lots of nice things when you go shopping today. How was your Mexican meal last night ? I hope you both had a lovely evening

Suzanne - How did the graduation party go ? I hope you enjoyed your day

Sandy - How did you get on in NYC, I hope Ian enjoyed himself

Everyone - Have a lovely Sunday

Morning Everyone!

Mark and I had a nice time last night. I was DD so I only had one Margo.. It was yummy though!

So I am off in about 30 minutes to head to shop. We have a 90 min drive but it will still be fun! Mark wants some shirts.. Sarah is in desperate need of clothes, and Em will make out well just because!

Ok.. I'm off! I'll check in when I get home!

 

[V4dice]

Good morning everyone!

Mandy - I'm glad you had a nice time on your overnight trip (too bad you bought no goodies for yourself)

Laurie & Michele - Hope you had a great time at your evil twins meeting & I hope Ant had a great party!

Suzanne - How was the graduation party? Sounds like it was hot there! What are your plans for today?

Jen - Have fun shopping - I hope you find lots of bargains!!!!

Hello to everyone I missed

Yesterday was a happy day since we received our WDW confirmations for after the cruise from the AAA agent since we made final payment last week. I can't believe how fast this trip is approaching now that summer is here! Today I should hopefully be around here more since I am going to be attempting to keep Emily in the house (she has one of those annoying high fevers with no other symptoms luckily she has her two year check up with her dr. tomorrow morning anyway). It should be interesting trying to keep her out of the pool when her brother is swimming (good practice for the Wonder since she can't go in the pools there unless she potty trains completely in the next month). Tonight we are off to the Mets game (my MIL is watching Emily luckily).

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

 

[xoxheather420oxo]

My plans for every weekend till the wedding is pretty much a different family bbq every weekend he has such a big family and they love to party....
We are down to the final details we got our marriage license application in the mail on Friday and got it notorized now we have to send it back and they will take care of the rest...I can't believe that its just about 6 weeks away its crazy and I can't wait.

[LaurieWDW05]

OK - so here I am - where is everyone? I was hoping to catch "sail-away" - maybe I missed it?!?!?!?!

So - the twins meeting has come and gone - the pictures from our "photo session" have been revealed - I haven't downloaded mine yet - I'll get to that SOON and post some - I think we got a lot of the same ones though, but I'll see!

Alright - I am hoping SOMEONE pops on soon!
Laurie

 

[mandymouse]

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

Sorry I wasn't around for sailaway last night, I was so tired, so I had an early night

Wow, it's Monday again, so I'll have another feeble attempt at getting back on track with my diet

I'm off to see my mum this morning once I've dropped Becky off at 'work'. This is her last week of work experience, and on Friday she will have officially broken up from school for the Summer (woohoo !!!)

What are you all up to today ? Have a nice day whatever you're doing

 

[LaurieWDW05]

Good Morning all!

I am off to work today! We were supposed to take a 'day trip' w/the boys to Dorney Park - but the weather isn't looking so good, and I totally forgot about the dogs, there is no way I can leave here at 8am and get home at 11pm - I could have my friend come to let them out, but I can't ask her to come back and forth 3 or 4 times, ya know? Anyway, I am going to work today and tomorrow, Wednesday is Ant's bday and his party, Thursday Carm and I will be off again, so we are going to take our 'day trip' then - and head to the Franklin Institute. So, it's going to be another busy week!!

So - the party was good! Ant got some great gifts (lots of Disney $$ ) The twins were united and that was great too! Seems like everyone had a good time! And Michele was worried that the kids would just sit there and annoy her all day!!!!

My sister's visit was great - it was sad to see her go though! Her visits are always so short! But, we'll be together again in 6 weeks for the cruise! It will be here before you know it!!

ONE of these days I am going to catch up! I SWEAR!!! I've been neglecting the boards for a LONG time!!!

Mandy -- enjoy your day w/your Mom! Glad Becky will finally be done for school this week! The poor thing - SO when do the girls start back to school? Do they start later than kids in the US? Good luck w/the diet attempt!!! I was good last week, lost 6 pounds, I think I gained a few back though!!! I just keep losing the same weight over and over!! LOL

Sandy -- how did things go in NYC?? Did you take a sneak peak at JBJ for me?!?!?!

Michele -- have you caught up on your sleep from your "big night out" - I am so glad you guys made the trip down here!!

Veronica -- Let's go Mets!! What a game last night?!?!?!?!? Hope you guys had a great time! Hope Emily is feeling better! OH, and BTW - we booked Spring Training for next year!!

Jen -- I am so glad that Em will be getting the help that she needs! It looks like you are going to have a busy summer - the trip will be here before we know it and you'll get your time to relax and have a few drinks!!

Suz -- How are you holding up over there this summer? It was great chatting w/you and Jen for that brief time last night!

Danielle -- how are things going with baseball? Are the boys almost done yet??? Did you get my email??

Betty -- What did you do this weekend? How is camp going? How is your dad feeling??

Diane -- Have you ever been to the Franklin Institute? I know you (I think it was you) had mentioned you were going into Philly for something. Any tips would be great! Oh, and we were at the Mets/Phillies game on 7/7 - did you go that night too? I see you were going a few nights last week! Look at the Mets catching up!!! I don't want to get too excited about it - they usually do well, then fall apart! UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Sorry to all that I've missed!!

Alright - I need to get ready for work and get out of here!! I will check in when I get there - hopefully I won't be too busy today and I can read a bit more on the boards!!

Have a good day all!!!!
Laurie

Hey Laurie, it sounds like the party was a great success, I look forward to seeing your photos (if you have any that are different to Michele's). I'm pleased that you had a great time with your sister too. Is she looking forward to the Cruise ? I bet your mum was thrilled to see her, as she didn't know she was coming

Well done on losing 6lbs, that's great, I hope that is just the kick start you need. It's nearly 2pm over here and I've been really good, I've only had WW bread and fruit so far today. The weeks are flying by, so if I can't get to grips with it now, then I never will

I'm not sure if my girls head back to school any later than your kids, I think Becky starts back around the 7th September, and Kerry will be back at college a week or so later

Well I think I've got another hour of peace and quiet before I have to pick Becky up (Kerry is out at her friends too - yay )

Have a good day at work, and I'll catch you later

Hi guys sorry I haven't been around much the last week. Things are just crazy between summer activities and baseball. We also had my sister visiting this weekend and Keegan started another baseball tournament. Keegan's team had a team forfeit at noon Saturday and then they played and won 10-1 at 2:00. It was so hot during that game!! I think it was 94 and they have to wear baseball pants, an undershirt and their mesh vests. Keegan plays catcher and he was melting. I made sure he drank a lot and used some wash cloths soaking in ice water to cool down. We went to my parents after the game and just stayed in their pool until the evening.

Yesterday Keegan had another game and it was rained out in the bottom of the 4th. They have to make up the rest of the game tonight. Had they played the bottom of the inning, the game could have been called by the umpire as done. Keegan's team is up 1-0. The team they are playing is 12U (Keegan's is 11U) and I swear two of the other team's players look like grown men by their size and look like they shave! Their pitcher is over 6 feet tall! They might play another 3 games this week if they keep winning and 4 or 5 if they lose. Friday we head to Birdsboro for the state championships. If they keep winning, they will play until at least Tuesday.

We have 3 new employees at work this week so I've been pretty busy with all of their offer letters, benefit enrollment forms and our latest payroll/leave updates.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Laurie, I did receive your email and responded. Congrats on the 6 lbs.

Michele, great pictures of your meet!

Mandy, enjoy your hour of peace!


Jen, I hope you got some great deals shopping

Sandy, I hope your trip to NYC was fun and if you went to baseball you didn't get poured on like we did all night here.

Hi everyone else, have a great day/week!

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

Morning Ladies, Glad becky is almost done..sadly nicole has all summer long..ugh. Laurie, I gained 4 pounds from ant's party.. I waited until today to check hoping it would be less.

Well i am off to pick up nicole in a few then sarah from her sleepover i will catch up later.

Hey Michele, I'm sure you'll shift those 4 pounds in a few days wizard: Good Luck), at least you had fun putting it on I won't be stepping anywhere near the scales till Wednesday at the earliest after all the food and drink I had on Saturday night

Have you got work tonight ? If so, have fun with LTL

 

[xoxheather420oxo]

Hey question since I know some of you have been to Castaway Cay before. Could you rent a Jetski there other then the tour that they have as an excursion. Like we want to just be able to rent one and go our own way is this possible???

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

Hey Mandy, Yes i enjoyed eating real food that day so i guess i will have to work harder at losing it now...lol. Unfortunately i am working tonight with LTL..woohoo..how i can't wait she is such a ray of sunshine.

Heather, Jeff wanted to do the jet ski alone as well but they won't let u it is only offered with the guide. He didn't bother to do it because of that.

O.k. i am off to the grocery store will catch u all later.
