Sure! I'll get it finished, and I have a box of stuff. My younger son is the one who really wants to do this, and he picked out the FE fabric with me the other day.

Good morning all! Three weeks from now, we'll all be working our way toward Port Canaveral!

[luv2plan]

Good morning!

OK, I will do FE too, but I'm going to hang a gift bag on my fish, either Disney or Pirate. That will work, won't it?

It's supposed to be 60 here today!! See you all soon!

 

[luv2plan]

HI Erin, no we aren't with the U of I.
We actually live in Mahomet, which is about 8 miles west on 74.
My DH is a video game programmer, he works on Neil St.
I stay home, but I do a lot of work with the PTO (PTA) at school.

 

[ILuvJimny]

We wouldn't mind doing the FE exchange, also, though I would probably do something simple to hang on the Fish by our room. We leave in 2 weeks to do a week before the cruise in Orlando, so I am running out of time to get things done. We are: me and DH(older than Erin) DS15 and his friend15.

I manage a recreational soccer league for kids currently with 1700 kids and 220 teams, which start playing games right after we get back from Florida. I have to have teams, coaches, uniforms and schedules all done before we leave on the 19th! Am I insane?

 

[luv2plan]

That's why I was hesitant about the FE, the actual hanging FE, I couldn't see how I was going to do that. But, I was at the dollar store the other day & they had gift bags w/pirate design on it, and I thought, hmmmm, that could hang from the fish thing, and people could put notes or whatever in the bag, right? So, I will do it if I can just use a gift bag as my mailbox/FE.

CAN'T WAIT!!

I was thinking of using a cute gift bag also! I guess great (and busy) minds think alike!

 

[Vegaslover]

I was planning on getting the kids a little something.

I suppose we don't have to get technical with when we do the actual exchange. I think other posts actually have the day each person is supposed to deliver their gifts. Too complicated for me.

 

[Vegaslover]

I'm making a list of who we have so far for the FE with Room numbers:

Erin -2652 two sons Greg (16) and Andy (13)
Luv2plan - 7510 two sons Max(5) and Gray (9)
Vegaslover - 6581 one daughter Elsa (4)
ILuvJimmy - (room assignment not known) one son Erin(15) and friend (15)

ILuvJimmy, do you have your room assignment yet?

 

[luv2plan]

Thanks for compiling the list!

I agree, with only three days, I don't think we need to assign days.

And my name is Dana, my boys are Gray (9) Max (5) and my Dad is Gray, too!

 

[Vegaslover]

I really like the name Gray.

I'm Lydia, my DH is Dan, DD is Elsa.

 

[erincon23]

We love gift bag Fish Extenders! I must be nuts... mine is still all in pieces laid out on the dining room table. Although I must say, I made it easier on myself today, I bought four little canvas bags and cut off the handles to make the pockets.

Great start to the list!
- Erin

 

[luv2plan]

I am getting really excited about the FE! I'm doing some shopping tomorrow!

I'm going to see Confessions of a Shopaholic with a friend while the kids are at school tomorrow, then going shopping for a bit afterwards.

Woo Hoo!

 

[luv2plan]

Vegaslover - Thank you! for saying you like the name Gray.

It is my dad's name, so I wanted to name my son after him. I'm just glad DH liked it too.
It was my grandfather's name as well & his mother's maiden name.

Actually, my dad and I are planning on going to Las Vegas this summer together, just for a weekend. I haven't been there in three years.

 

[Vegaslover]

That is a neat family tradition. When we meet I'll tell you our family tradition with our middle names.

We are going to vegas this summer too. Just me and DH. You should be able to get a good deal.

FE Group,

We are in room 2101 DH is Curt, I am Jean, DS15 is Jarom and his friend is Kurt. We are celebrating Jarom's 15th Birthday just before the cruise starts and are taking the cruise in honor of our 30th Anniversary coming up.

20 days and counting!

What fun this exchange will be! It will be just a little added treat to an already amazing cruise!!

 

[luv2plan]

I was shopping today for FE goodies!

Little Elsa is going to get spoiled! A little princess is so easy to shop for!

All these teenage boys are a bit more tricky!

It was 73 degrees here today! I can't believe it! Have a great weekend!

 

[erincon23]

Does anyone have any food allergies, in case candy or something similar ends up in someone's FE? I can't eat walnuts, but other than that, we're ok.

Erin

 

[luv2plan]

Nope, none here ~ Dana

 

[Vegaslover]

No food allergies here either. Dana, you are so sweet to think of Elsa. You are right! Boys are very hard to shop for, but I think I found something they all will like.

 

[ILuvJimny]

Also no food allergies here. Unless you count how the boys can suddenly be allergic to vegetables at dinner time!
