Any Magic Halloween Cruisers 2003 out there?

["Ginger"]

Rae I know it's worth it. We have been through improvements before just not on such a large scale. They will be taking off the top to bottom back half of the house this time. The end results will be a new kitchen, going for the Old World style, a diningroom off the kitchen and 3 new bedrooms on the second level, one being a master suite for me and maybe I'll share it with my DH, LOL. They are putting my laundry room on the second floor too, I'm going to love that. We have an inground pool with a large deck on one side that is going to be extended to connect to the back part of the house French doors leading you into the new kitchen from the deck. All new appl., hardwood floors, new staircase leading to upstairs bedroom, all new windows, all new doors, new siding and such and central air will be added. Yes Rae it will be worth it.

I can understand your mixed feels about your upcoming cruise. We live about 3 miles from Aberdeen Proving Ground, when we go out on the main road, Rt. 40, we see the military trucks carrying the big jeeps and trucks. The ones that we have been seeing on the news. We can hear and feel, my old windows rattle, them testing explosives. They have done this for along as I can remember, but now I am noticing it more. I wonder if it is testing or the real thing. I have decided to stop watching T.V., CNN and the other news stations. I'm starting to drive my DH crazy with all my What if's. Maybe you should do the same. Have you got a DCL tape or DVD to play?

My DH Scott is still here thank goodness. Not sure what the next few holds for us??? The boys and I are still in Florida and should be heading back to NC next Friday as long as it is ok to fly. I do know that Scott has access to certain reports and to ease some of your minds the travel you are planning should be fine with no threats.

Go and enjoy! I know I am having ot be SO careful with what Chance see's. Now that he turned 5 his light bulb is coming on and he did see the paper and made a comment about why the Marine was in the picture and of course I said practicing because that is what he is use to seeing.

The good news is that Cade (fingers crossed) seems to better. His 4th week on antibiotic and he seems to be improving.....yeah! I hope that all of you are well.

Remember, even if you don't support our President or the war these men and women had no choice when made to go so SUPPORT OUR TROOPS. They are men and women with families that need our prayers, letters, care packages and support.

Glad everyone is well(ish)!

We got our reports yesterday and they think I am capable of getting all As of A*s in my exams next year so it was good!

We have a competition with choir next weekend, first round. If we get through that then we go to the second round in London and if we get through that then we sing at the Royal Albert Hall in London!

I've never really watched the news, I just get updates in the morning on breakfast TV and then I check on the bbc website for any big developments but before the whole Iraq thing I didn't watch it much.

I started shopping for our cruise. The Disney Store has a sale going on or on going. I got a cute outfit for Ashley. I was hoping to find her a Halloween costumes, no such luck. She has it in her mind that she is going to be a lady vampire. AUGH!!! Something I'll have to sew.
The weather is beautiful here today. Yesterday too, I got some flowers planted.

I was talking to Mom about what we are going to wear for Halloween. I said that I was thinking about going as Mother Nature. Her eyes bugged out and she said, "NO! That's disgusting!"

She thought I was talking about "Lady Godiva"!!!!!!!


HAHAHAHHAHAH!

Rae

Good Morning All, What's going on here on the boards, I'm having problems. Also not getting any email notices.

Rae you make me laugh. I have been thinking about a few costumes DH's not much into it though. Last year we took our costumes and never put them on. I am going to this year though with or without him. Sometimes he can be such a fuddy duddy.

Got to go running to get Ashley on that bus. I am off to the gym.

 

[JLSE50]

RAE: What does a Mother Nature costume look like?

GINGER: Can you go to a second hand shop and get an adult small sized black dress to use for Ashley's costume? And maybe even two dresses and make the cape out of the skirt of the second dress?

TIFF: How is Cade? the travel home?

EMMA: Good going on those grades!!

Have a good day all,
Jan

A mother nature costume sounds interesting!

I meant to tell you Jan that you remember that email you sent about teacher who got her class to write things they liked about each other on a piece of paper? Well I sent that to some of my friends and within a week the lad I sit next to in Biology told me that by the time it had got to him it had been through 300 other people!

We got told this morning that the year tens break up on Friday for 2 weeks study leave while we do our year 10 exams and then we have 2 weeks off for easter along with the rest of the school. A month off!!!

 

["Ginger"]

Jan sounds like a good idea but Ashley is only in a size 5 for little girls. We are hoping she grows to size 6 before the cruise so she can wear the new clothes I bought her. I'll be looking for a long flowing night gown something in black or something I can dye. I'll make her cape that should not be hard. I've been wondering just how long she going to wear those fangs. LOL.

I see Mother Natural wear a beautiful white gown with vines growing around her arms, leaves on the gown, birds in her hair and grass growing on her feet. Oh! little animals trailing behind her.

 

[JLSE50]

GINGER: I remember how tiny Ashley is. But I did not know if a second hand dress in a small size could be altered more easily they sewing something from scratch. The nightgown sounds like a good choice.
I like your Mother Nature ideas for Rae. I wonder what animal she will have sitting on her train????

EMMA: Neat about that e-mail traveling so far. Glad you and your chums liked it.
What will the Year 10s do with those four weeks? Study leave means what? Do they have to start hunting for permanent jobs then?

Have a good day,
Jan

 

[Rose_Greenthumb]

Study leave is basically where we have to go in for our exams but we are off school for those 2 weeks. It's really a trial run for our exams next year.

 

[JLSE50]

EMMA: You are a level 10 this year? So for two weeks you are home except for exam days and then for two weeks you have vacation? Wonderful.

Jan

 

[Rose_Greenthumb]

You got it Jan!

 

[rae519]

I am definitely going as Mother Nature!!!! You will just have to wait and see my costume - except for Jan, of course, who is coming to my house next month!!!!!

I figured out what Mom is going to do - are you ready for this?

A prisoner of love!!!!!! She is going to wear black slacks, a black and white striped big shirt, have hearts on it and have handcuffs hanging off one wrist!!!!

Give me a second and my mind just.....goes...goes...goes!

Hope all are well in cyberspace and around the world.

Emma - what's the boyfriend crush scoop lately?

Ginger - I'm only funny on line, I'm rather shy and quiet in person.

Tiff - Love you, baby! Thanks for the pm and take care!!!!

Rae

 

["Ginger"]

Rae when Jan comes to visit don't show her your costume cuz if you do then we'll never be able to talk her into coming on the cruise. I love the idea for your Mom.
Jan I do have to go to the second hand stores to find something to go with my costume. I will keep an eye out for Ashley but I really am not a seamstress. I thought the cape wouldn't be hard, no sleeves.

I hope everyone is well. See you all in a couple days Tuesday is my day to work.

 

[rae519]

Well, Ginger, it maybe hard for me to keep this from Jan - but since you are a fan of Joe's....well, I still remember the days of pantyhose and that fur coat - love Broadway Joe's style!

Ohhh, yeah, Ginger - "work" - that's one of those four letter words that we can't use on this forum!!!!!!!

Okay, anyone interested in Early Dining with me, Mom and Michael - speak up now or forever hold your peace! I'm shamelessly canvassing for dining mates!!!!

Rae

Hi all
Just wanted to pop in and say hi. Just got back from my 35 week OB check up. I have been feeling horrible the past few days, well turns out I have a touch of bronchitis!
So he gave me a script for some z-pak ? and said to take robitussin. The cough is Killin' my tummy! Hurts like &*#(#&&*#..... LOL Lets all have a pity party for me!!
Rae, we are going to be in early dining on our cruise......maybe we can be dinner mates I warn you though, it is not pretty eating with 3 kids 8 and under! There is bickering, sloppiness, sleepiness, and last but not least mominess! HEHE

I can't believe you all are thinking about your costumes already! I doubt I will be able to get my DH to dress up, and I'll prob just use my poodle skirt from last time I dressed up, and go as a mouseketeer. The kids? Well who the heck knows?? Thats still 7 months away! LOL

Emma, must be nice to have such leisure time I visited England once, when I was a girl scout. We went to London, and I absolutely adored it! I think it was about 14 years ago, when I was 13. I have always stated that I wanted to go back, but, well then I met WDW and unfortunately, well you know the way it goes! LOL

 

[rae519]

A taker! Wow!

I'll pm you, darling!

Rae

 

[JLSE50]

GINGER: If I see Rae's costume it will not stop me from coming on the cruise if the money is there. You can count on that

EMMA: I tried to send you an e-mail and it came back. Is your address changed?

TIFF: How are you all?

DZNEPRINCESS: How are you feeling now? Poor baby? Bronchitis! And pregnant! and couging Poor lady!!
(is that enough sympathy?)

I still think you need to share among yourselves what your costumes will be like Rae is doing so that if any of you can get together and be a group of something, you will have a better chance to win a prize. Like if MICHAEL goes as MIKE from MONSTERS INC and DENA'S ASHLEY wears her SULLY costume again, they should go through judging together!!

Jan

 

[rae519]

I like the idea of making a group presentation for the Halloween festivities STILL!!!!

Jan, you do need to coordinate this for us!!!! HINT HINT HINT!
