Thanks, the old weight loss is slowing down now, so I'm going to have to stay motivated when those scales don't show a loss

No doubt, I'll be watching the Wonder leave Port Canaveral on Sunday evening 10pm for me and 5pm for you. It's nice that it's the last thing I see before I go to bed

It's great that my girls have got the same best friend, so when she has a sleepover, I get rid of both of them

What front row tickets would be better than a kiss ?? Surely not

I'll try and take a photo of Kerry's dress, it's really pretty, in cream. I doubt she'll let me take a photo of her wearing it just yet, but if not I'll take a picture of it hanging up

Have a great day Laurie

I HATE the scales - HATE them!! LOL

You will have to remind me again on Sunday - I LOVE watching the boat go by! This time, maybe Ant will be home to see it - he would be more excited than Dominic was!!

Front row tickets and a kiss - I'll make a compromise!

I can't wait to see the dress - AND YOUR HAIR PHOTO!!!!!!!!

We will be off and running in a few minutes - SOOOOOOOOOOOO - I'll catch up later!! Luckily it seems as if everyone is busy today - so, there shouldn't be too much to catch up on later!

Morning, Wow u guys were busy posting away this morning. I will be gone most of the day tonight. Woohoo...I will be back around 4.

Laurie have you gotten ridden of the extra child yet?

Mandy, I forgot to ask you how the girls enjoyed the theme park yesturday.

Sandy, You never told me how the dentist went. Did he find and infection?

Laurie looks like you got your wish it is raining here..Thanks

Sorry but i have to get ready to go out so whoever i left out i will catch up on later.

Nope, no infection, he said the bite was wrong so he filed down the tooth. It feels so much better now. Thanks for asking. Have fun today.

Morning everyone-

It's a dreary rainy day here. I'm hoping not to have to go anywhere.

Laurie have a great time shopping. Hope the daycare was uneventful.

Jen, what fun shopping for the little ones. I miss those days.

Mandy way to go on the weight loss. Enjoy your time away w/ Paul.

Kathy asking what a FE is, is not a silly question. I was totally lost when I was first introduced to them.

Suzanne where are you? We miss you...........

Veronica it was fun chatting last night.

Hope I didn't miss anyone.

Have a lovely day with your friend Michele Enjoy your little pamper session too.

The girls had a great time at the theme park. I think they rode lots of rides, had dinner and bought one photo - thankfully they didn't come home with a lot of silly souvenirs that they tend to buy everytime they go

I HATE the scales - HATE them!! LOL

LOL, is it the scales that you hate Laurie ?

Front row tickets and a kiss - wow, you're hard to please

I'll get that photo done soon (of the dress that is, you'll have to wait for the hair one )

Catch up with you later, have fun

What are you up to today ? Have a nice Friday

Yes - kids are all gone and Carm and I will be heading out soon! Going to go for breakfast then run around!

Mmmm, I love going out for breakfast, have fun

 

[sarahsmom73]

Good Morning Jen!!

Sounds like you were busy shopping yesterday! LOL I love the outlet stores!! Especially the ones in Orlando!! The problem w/that is - I buy too much stuff - usually I wind up having to buy another bag to take it all home in! LOL Actually I have a rolling duffle bag that folds up - I usually pack that w/me - so I have an empty to take my 'goods' home -

Wish I had a little girl to shop w/though - I was looking at all those goodies in the stores yesterday - PINK everywhere!!!

Alright, almost time to go! Countdown to departure.. 5 minutes!
Laurie

Anytime you need a little girl fix I'll share!!! Sarah is definitely my pink kid.. She loves it! She was already talking about going back to the outlets to buy some more accessories for the cruise! I am in BIG trouble!

Hope drop off went well! Are you doing your Mommy Dance?

Morning Jen

Thanks, the old weight loss is slowing down now, so I'm going to have to stay motivated when those scales don't show a loss

It sounds like you had a lovely day yesterday, it's great when you pick up some bargains

No doubt, I'll be watching the Wonder leave Port Canaveral on Sunday evening 10pm for me and 5pm for you. It's nice that it's the last thing I see before I go to bed

Ahhh... In 142 days that will be us!!!! Or ..,.3,416 hours.

I HATE the scales - HATE them!! LOL

You will have to remind me again on Sunday - I LOVE watching the boat go by! This time, maybe Ant will be home to see it - he would be more excited than Dominic was!!

I would come watch with you! We would have fun!

Nope, no infection, he said the bite was wrong so he filed down the tooth. It feels so much better now. Thanks for asking. Have fun today.

Morning everyone-

Laurie have a great time shopping. Hope the daycare was uneventful.

Glad your tooth is feeling better! There is not much worse than that.. except maybe a bad back!

You have rain? I have snow!!! I think I am going to lose it!

I'll be back around 4 ish too!

Yes - kids are all gone and Carm and I will be heading out soon! Going to go for breakfast then run around!

It's raining here too! Fields ought to be sopping wet!!

Have a good day!

I LOVE going out to breakfast! We should do that on the boat! We could have a girls breakfast or something!

 

[sarahsmom73]

Well I am waiting for a call back from Boston. Some more of Em's test results are in.. Her carnitine and acylcarnitine profiles are normal. I think that means we can rule out long chain fatty acid oxidation disorders but I want to make sure that is right..

People keep telling me Em is going to end up in a research journal. I'd settle for what can we do to help her! I was nervous last night because she was really fussy and actually threw up a little.. I know we know what to do if she gets sick, but our Pediatrician is in DISNEY WORLD right now. The other Peds know what to do, but I am still nervous.. Em woke up fine, ate well and used the potty! She is averaging 2 -3 times a day over the past couple!


Sarah is chilling out on the couch in her Jammies, eating popcorm, drinking cocoa and watching the Wizards of Waverly Place. I think she will be in her jammies all day!


I think I may do a garage sale at my parents house over memorial day weekend. What ever I make we will use for "extra" fun money for our trip. I really just want to get rid of stuff we never use!

OH YES! MY FE has been shipped! I'll post a pic when it gets here!

 

[mandymouse]

You have rain? I have snow!!! I think I am going to lose it!

I LOVE going out to breakfast! We should do that on the boat! We could have a girls breakfast or something!

Oh Jen, your Winter seems to be going on forever. We've had a mild week here, but we're due for some sleet and snow tomorrow and Sunday - yuck !!

Now having a girly breakfast sounds like lots of fun

OH YES! MY FE has been shipped! I'll post a pic when it gets here!

It's great that the doctors are trying hard to diagnose Emma's problems

Yes, please post a piccie of the FE, there's been some lovely ones so far

 

[sandym]

Jen- I hope they get things figured out for Em soon. What a great job she's doing with the potty. Sarah has the right idea on this rainy day.

Mandy, how's you evening going? Did you have a good tea time?


Just got the email from Ian's baseball coach. Practice will start on 4/12, games will start 4/26. So Laurie I will be joining you freezing. Time to get out the blankets and chairs.

Hope everyone is having a GREAT day!

 

[mandymouse]

Hi Sandy

I think Paul & I will go round to our fave wine bar tonight for a couple of glasses of White Zinfandel, as the girls have got their friend coming round, so if we pop out, they can have a bit of fun

I don't envy you having to go to all these sports practices in the cold weather - roll on the Summer

Here's a piccie of Kerry's dress, it looks lovely on her, but she didn't want her photo taken I think it'll be perfect for our Cruise

[sandym]

What a cute dress Mandy. Kerry has great taste in clothes. Tori will be envious. Have fun tonight with Paul. Christopher and I got away for a nice Chinese lunch yesterday - I'm having my left over rice for lunch right now.

 

[phoenixphantom]

Kerry -Niki likes your dress and she is not really a girly girl.

Breakfast sound good!

I spent the morning running Niki to the 3rd doctor this week. She has had a fever all week and has missed most of the week of school. This dr was for scoliosis ( she has a curvature of the back) that her Ped. wanted checked out, but all is good and no treatment necessary. Becca is in PT for her back and shoulders and now she has shin splints. Sectional are in 2 weeks and States in 2 more weeks, hopefully she can have some down time after that. I am glad she does an indoor sport, althought we never get a day off. They even train when it is 98 degrees and there is no AC in the gym. I laugh when people talk about our kids needing more exercise. Some of them are getting enough for everyone!

Niki and I picked up paint and grout for her new room and bathroom, sounds like fun for the weekend I can't wait to get this project done. We have a reall small house so we are taking an old bathroom in the basement and fixing it up and building Niki a room. Then they each will have their own room and we will have 2 bathrooms! It kills me when my friend complains that she has to clean 5 bathrooms. We have priority seating and call ahead seating at our house

I should be working but having a hard time getting motivated. One of the evils of working from home.

Good thing I'm not much of a shopper, I am surrounded by outlets, Lancaster, Reading and now there is a premium outlet mall that is just like the one in Orlando, it was on my way to the doctor but since it was raining and it is open air like FL I passed and I live 5 minutes from the 2nd biggest mall (I think) in the country.

Thanks girls. I wouldn't consider Kerry a girly girl, but I agree that dress is very cute

Is Nicole feeling any better today, I hope she's OK for the weekend (there's nothing worse than feeling poorly when it's the weekend, it's OK to be ill when there's school though )

It sounds like you've got a busy weekend ahead of you, have fun with Niki's room

I'm so jealous that you live close to so many shopping malls and outlets. It's such a shame that you're not much of a shopper

Enjoy the rest of your day girls

Mandy- those sandals are adorable. Makes me want to go shopping.

 

[micheleluvsmickey]

Cute sandals mandy..

Glad to hear the tooth is ok sandy.

Jen a girls breakfast sounds fun.

laurie, you didn't text or call me today.. You didn't miss me?

veronica, I bet laurie was talking to you again today and forgot all about me... Did u do anything fun today?

Cristina and i dumped our other friend after getting our nails done and we went to lunch without her... She is nice but an hour and a half was enough...lol

I got a couple Fe things while we were out and i finally got cristina motivated to diet and exercise with me. She stocked up on a ton of diet foods and agreed to start walking with me this weekend.... It is much easier to do it with someone.

If only my twin could get herself back on track.

 

[sarahsmom73]

Sandy

I was in your relative neck of the woods yesterday! I was in Nyskayuna for Sarah's appt. with Dr. Fox... It was so nice to see grass!

So it looks like we might have some takers for breakfast! That would be a blast~!


Mark is taking a power nap.. Sarah is putting every pillow in the house on her bed, Em is ticked because I put her on her belly... She is really pushing up though... A little temper would be good for her!

I am waiting for dinner to finish! spagetti pie for us.. It looks like we are in for a string of nice weather starting tomorrow so I hope to get my outside walking going!

Thanks girls, I've got an old pair of the lighter pair, but I can't get them in the shops anymore - thank goodness for ebay

I'm so pleased that you had a lovely day with Cristina Michele, and I hope she helps you to get motivated too

Oooh, I wonder what you got for the FE exchange. No doubt you won't tell me I'll just have to wait and see

Aww bless her, she'll get there, she's a fighter

LOL at Mark having a power nap, Paul is asleep on the sofa too

Enjoy the nice weather Jen, have fun
