I just went to the Yahoo site to look at the pictures. It's great to be able to see everyone!!

Monica - That chain is great!!! It's so bright and colorful.

I will have to take some pictures of my kids so I can post them. Maybe I will work up the nerve to have my picture taken - something I have not done in a long time

Take care everyone and have a MAGICal week!!!

Good morning everyone Hope you all had a WONDERFUL Easter weekend We had a big church service.... Normally our church has 6 different services each Sunday, but on Easter we rent out a huge auditorium from our local University so all of us and others can all attend one big service... Just our church alone is over 5000 members. After church we came home and got ready for friends and family. They call came to our house and we always have a pot luck lunchen....YUMMY!!!

My oldest daughter brought her "man of the month" LOL boyfriend home... You gotta love 23 year olds But to be fair the guy seemed nice...but they all do in the beginning Then after everyone went home Hubby "cleaned" the kitchen for me... It stills needs a lot of to get it all the way clean, but I will work on it today. Then he took our twins out back and played baseball with them. We have a neighbor who is a coach for highschool baseball, and has said the boys are VERY GOOD/NATURALS. At four years old they can hit the ball over 60', which is good I guess?? LOL ask me about "girlie" things and I could tell you all you want to know, but baseball??? LOL not so much

Since our girls go to a private school they are on spring break all this week, so Mom will be going crazy lol but I do love them soooo very much lol.

My oldest daughter took mine and hubby's picture yesterday and I actually sorta like it...which is RARE for me...so I will try to figure out how to upload it to yahoo so you can all see and be disappointed lol I am my own worst critic...

hope you all have a great Monday....

Many and to all.

Howdy everyone,
Hope everyone is well and had a great holiday.
We just stayed home and relaxed on Easter. All the kids are grown so I peeked out my window and watched the neighbor kids do their egg hunts.

Saturday we went out and got some furniture for our family room. The only furntiure downstairs was 2 dining room tables and a china closet, so we needed something there. Nothing fancy, just nice and comfortable!!! which is what i wanted. Plus DH got his big screen TV for that room too. It is going to be delivered today sometime.

That was our weekend, nothing exciting but still nice to sit outside and enjoy all the beautiful sunny weather. DH just finished 8 weeks without a day off between work and moving and such, so he really needed to relax some.
We are starting another week, you all know what that means, we are one week closer to our cruise!!!

Welcome aboard Georgeat - I'll look forward to taking some time to view your site. I am sure the canal trek was terrific.

Veronica - my understanding is that we simply need to be on the transfers manifest and we are good. To get on the list, be sure you purchase the transfers. I have then confirmed that you simply tell the front desk at check in that you are heading out to the ship on Saturday morning and they will get you set up accordingly. It sure sounds easy - I am hoping the reality is as simple as what I have been led to believe.

I've not yet done the chain - I am thinking with the size of that BIG one, I may have finally been rewarded in a little bit of procrastination!

Or depending on the DCL rates - maybe having PB&J for dinner is how one affords the cruise fare!

Wow Congratulations.... I have no idea what it would be life for my hubby to book anything without me knowing about it.... for that matter not sure I would want him too And secondly I can't wait till the day we can just jump up and go somewhere without weeks of planing... Heck just to go to the grocery store is a MAJOR undertaking in my house Congratulations again.. I am looking forword to your trip report when yall get back.

Many and all.

Awesome!! I'm going to have to rethink my aversion to living in Florida if it means a person can go on more Disney Cruises.

It will be bittersweet when the time comes that dh and I can go off without making arrangements for the kids. We have a great time as a family but it's not like dh and I don't know how to enjoy ourselves without them. We were a couple for ten years before we had William.

Scott, yes, I agree. Procrastinating, in this situation, may be for the best if you are doing it by hand with scissors and crayons or markers. It was much easier using a computer and a paper cutter. I can see why you would want to do it the former way. Very educational!

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Scott,
we lucked out on the price.
DCL had some Florida resident rates left for a few rooms to fill up the ship, it is off season for them. We got it 1/2 price!!!
One perk to living in Florida!!!!

Ok I think I am in the right place. Are you all talking about the western 7 day cruise from Aug 27 to Sept 2? If so, then that's the one I will be on!!! My family of 5 will take our very first Disney Cruise! I have three girls ages 8 5 and 9 Months. So any tips for the newbie?

 

[yazee1]

Hi, There!

Oops, I think you clicked on the wrong sailing date. We're sailing on September 23rd.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Howdy everyone,
Hope you are all doing well today.

Monica, I know what you mean about being bittersweet when the kids are grown. That is why we invite our married kids and grandkids sometimes to join us, and when we dont ,we always comment what agreat time they would be having if they were with us. The first few times were very hard for us when we did something without them. You always know that day is coming, but it always comes too fast.
It is hard for us since both the girls and families live 3500 miles away and we have to foot the bill for them to come and see us because it is just not in the budget for them yet. And when you invite one, you have to invite 2 families, which gets spendy. Usually it's an every other year thing and we try to go to see them once in between their trips out here. Our boys are both in florida,so they are easier to invite. But like I said when we invite for a cruise or a visit it is for all 4 kids and their families .

Well it is hot again today in florida, around 90 I believe. I am trying to whip up a door sign for our quickie cruise next month. But I cant seem to get it just the way I want it, so guess I will work on it more tomarrow.
Have any of you guys finished any door signs yet, or is it still too early for you? Any easy good ideas would be appreciated.
Kathy

Just wanted everyone to know.... My babies [twins] are the big 5 today. They were sooooo happy they told every stranger they saw... We are having their party after church on Sunday, but today they are actually going on a pre-school field trip to a place called bounce about...which is a HUGE [warehouse] indoor jumpy house extravaganza...

I hope everyone has a great Thursday...

Many and to all.

to the two 5 year olds!!

Happy birthday!! Five is so special. My daughter was so excited to turn five last month. She was psyched for days weeks before! She was a little disappointed to wake up on her birthday and not be any bigger.

I copied my pictures from the hard drive. I'm at a loss as to how or if you can add them from a website. I'm guessing if you have them on a website, then they are probably on your hard drive already. Then it's a matter of knowing which directory they are in. Of course, if they are on the website but not the hard drive you could save them to the hard drive and them upload them to the yahoo group.

Off to Scouts. Be back later.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Tell the kids HAPPY BIRTHDAY from all of us!!
Birthdays are so special when your a kid.

Not much going on around here today, lots of thunder and lightening tonight. A sure sign our weather is changing for summer. We have thunderstorms almost everyday in the summer.

Enjoy your evening everyne,
Kathy
