oh oh oh!! i feel the excitement here and i
it!! we are heading south for a
disney cruise!
ok -- sorry for that. had to let it out! what a week!!
nancyr100 to our cruisin' group!!! I have a DD age 10, her name is Paige. she posts as 'distinkerbelle' on the kids thread, she started it. She is in 4th grade and is way excited too and ready to chat with kids about our cruise. your DD can feel free to PM her on her account, she would LOVE a PM (private message) or have her just jump in the conversation. my oldest DD, taylor is still not into the whole DIS thing, she is too wrapped up in being a teenager i guess.
i also have a spreadsheet for our group to help you keep track of who is who and whose kids go where,etc. If you'd like to be a part of that, PM me the following info and i'll send you an updated list: Username, homestate, names of family members with kids ages, accomodations for Friday night, transportation, Deck/stateroom, dining time and email. Of course you don't have to include any info you'd rather not share, and i can keep your email private if you prefer
ok, my brain is going many different directions, let me try to get ahold of my thoughts
Val -- you are looking so pretty!!
for your photo, try right clicking on the 'thumbnail' of your picture, you know the one where you see smaller versions of your photos before you expand them individually. is that too small to post? don't be afraid to post on the technical board for this type stuff, there are some great tech geeks on the dis
if i can ever catch you online i'll try to help you too, if i can. i'm not fab at this type stuff though
and oh YES! i forgot the servers do cut up children's meals!! i was most happily stunned when our server stopped me from cutting Paige's steak one night, i was taken aback. then i realized he was going to cut it for her....you got it! this is MOMMA'S vacation..............oh yea............
curlybop-- i love that Barbie goes on vacation without shoes
that is too cute. i was sooo sad when Paige declared Barbies just not cool anymore. i loved my Barbies and neither of my girls shared that
maybe i could be on your flight and play too
and what a great idea to wrap each little travel gift!! i'm sorry i don't have great little kid ideas right now..........
back to my week -- i swear i'm trying to get everyone fit and healthy for this vacation but the mojo is working against me! Taylor had an orthopedic appt this week, she has an injured knee and has to have arthroscopic proceudre done. she is 14 and has worn out her cartilage in her knee already! we had to push it back to May b/c neither her or I could risk embarktion on crutches! Paige is recovering this weekend from her ankle injections to calm the swelling/pain from her JRA and then DH had a cortisone shot in his elbow tonight. ok this is most likely TMI -- sorry i'm just like ok, no more health issues please. we have a VACATION planned
boys night - - i love the visualization of them playing that dice game from Pirates!! hehehe and girls night -- you know it! i'm there
She is slightly mad at me because I was laughing at her and the doctor who kept making her move her arm ( or try to) to see what was wrong. He kept making her stretch out her arm an dhand an dfingers and she was tearing up and laughing (kinda of)(you knw when something hurts, but you don't want anyone to know, so you try not to cry and so you laugh - that was her). But it was kind of hilarous.
How do my posts always end up so long?!?! I guess I tend to give too much information...Sorry!
I have made a "homemade" version which wasn't quite as bad, but still has that distinct smell...yuck! Go ahead & laugh at me now, all grossed out by Play-Doh. 
he came with twelve pairs of shoes for the princesses. Goody, goody. 
For now, I have an older suitcase, and that's where all the Barbie stuff lives. If she wants to move it from room to room, just load it up and wheel down the hallway.
