Good morning and Happy Easter! Welcome Grumpy Family! Jen, I just saw your 30lb. ticker awesome job! We had a really late night last night at the crab place, we were supposed to be celebrating birthdays (5 of them) at dinner. They have a bar on the other side with dart boards and a pool table and one thing led to another and we ended up still there as Easter morning came. Yes, 2 kids in a bar on Easter morning after midnight. I know where my mom of the year award went! At least they had fun playing darts. So when they were awake at 8:00 AM my hubby and I were playing the how long do you think we can stall them game. Did you snuggle the dog? I'm getting ready to go out running even though I'm still tired, we'll see how long that lasts. I just downloaded the couch to 5K podcast and am interested to try it, so off I go.

Mornin' everyone! Happy Easter! We are staying home alone today, nothing to do, but just sit around and be lazy and eat LOL! No family to annoy us or anything. I have a 21 pound turkey in the oven. A little overkill for the fact that only 3 of us eat turkey??? LOL. I had to cook it eventually, and we'll have leftovers for a month!
Jen, I am so jealous, a last minute trip sounds like so much fun!

Okay - I am going to try to catch up with things. Thanks to everyone for all the compliments about DD - we do think she is pretty special!

Well, I will be leaving in about a half hour to take Meagan to the oral surgeon. I'm a little nervous!!

How is Meagan? I read a bit later that she had some suffering with it. Haven't gotten further to see that she is better...hope that she is!

Just spoke with Jen I am soo jealous they decided today to leave for WDW!!!!!!!!

Kristin - Thank you so much for letting people know that I went to WDW! It was such a crazy deal...thought I posted here but turns out I forgot! Guess that is what happens when you plan, pack and leave for WDW in 3 hours!

I'm behind on the thread, is Jen on her way to WDW now? I'm here now on my Spring Break. we are at Kidani. It rained yesterday afternoon and this morning..... But other than that thecweather is great. A little chilly at night though.... Well I guess it wouldn't be chilly for those of you from Mn!!!!

We were there! How did you like your stay? We had great weather the whole time - could have been a bit warmer but we were happy for the sunshine!

Good Morning! We just got back from the Bon Jovi concert and wow what a great show! We got a private suite for our group of 20 and it was so nice not to have to worry about our jackets/purses. We had a stocked bar and food buffet right in our suite. We also had our own private bathroom! So this is how the other half lives. I can't believe Jen just up and left us for Disney, I guess we can forgive her although I'm a little jealous. I'm trying to convince myself that another year of AP's is a good idea since we'll be going at least twice over the next year. Still not sure since it'll be almost $1,500. I need to buy a place in FL so I can get the discount. Those lucky Floridians have all the good deals!

Sounds like the concert was fun!

Yep...I did just up and leave you all! Totally crazy trip and I am writing a report about it. I am with you about having a place in FL to save on my Disney addiction!

Here is a Dream update from Facebook, this is soooooooooooooo cool!!!

http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/bl...15580&CMP=SOC-DCLFY10Q2DCL_SocMedFacebook0012

Well, I said that I was going to update the website and instead I went to WDW! This looks great and I will get it on the web...hopefully within the week. Thanks for sharing!

Looks nice! I wonder what the big finale will be? Maybe they are going to flood the place with water so that we can all have an after dinner swim while leaving the restaurant. Okay. Probably not.

Holy nice weather Batman!! 75 yesterday, 72 right now!!! 70's again tomorrow!!!

Erika - Glad you were able to enjoy some nice weather here too!

Alright - going to read some more posts...

Shmoo, I think there was talk of splitting the group since we do have so many people in it. There are 36 familys on it now, 38 with you and Jude. We split the group on our last cruise and it worked out great.

I think we might have to talk more about splitting the group. I want everyone who wants to be a part of it to join in but we also want to keep it manageable. I am sure we will wait until we get a bit closer to figure this all out. I will take my cue from all of you and make lists for us according to what people want.

So I haven't been around here for a while. What'd I miss?

All kidding aside, I'm hoping to jump back in a bit more so I'm ready for our cruise. We're a family of 5 and I hope to do the FE. It was a blast in Nov.

Off to find the website info I received a loooong time ago to try to catch up. There's no way I can go back and read everything.

Welcome back! Let me know if you need the website info again!

Well I've just got in and the school holidays have now offically started!!!

We dont go back till April19th

I'm doing a happy dance all round the house

Hope all is well across the pond

Enjoy your holiday! I love time off of school!

Today, Hanna got her ears-pierced I am soo proud of her. Her two little BFF's came along with her and they were soo VERY CUTE holding her hands while she had it done. She looks sooo VERY CUTE!!

I bet Hanna looks so cute! You should post a photo!

Looks like a full crowd!! Fastpasses for the Aquaduck?!

I think tomorrow brings us to 500 days - who's hosting the party?!

YIKES! I was gone and I missed posting it for us! So sorry everyone! I will not miss this Friday as it is back to work tomorrow.

WELCOME to our group! I will send you a PM with all the website information soon!

WELCOME HOME JEN!!

Missed you. You'll have to give me a call and fill me in on how the trip was!!

Thanks Kristin! It was good to talk with you today - it was fun to share some of the highlights (and low points) of the trip.

Hi everyone and Happy Easter
The bunny came to our house in the middle of the night and left little droppings all over the kids rooms. Oh lucky us, the boys woke up around 7am and the noise was non stop. I gave up a half hour later, sleep is overrated anyways
Still busy as ever at the Pinky abode. Yard work is underway, set up the gazebo and took out the BBQ yesterday so I guess it's official, winter is over

Sleep is overrated! I am looking forward to it tonight though! We left WDW at 7:30 AM yesterday...drove straight through and got home today at about 8:00 AM. I did take a short nap today but boy will it be great to sleep in my bed tonight.

Hello Terri!

Thanks for noticing the clippie! I was so excited to discover that I did not gain weight at Disney...I actually lost 2 pounds and it feels great to finally reach the 30 pound point. I am amazed at how much more I like my pictures this time now that I have lost all that weight.

Let me know what you think of the couch to 5K podcast. There were 2 you could download...I know that I loved the one we used. Good luck with it and let me know if you need some support!

Mornin' everyone! Happy Easter! We are staying home alone today, nothing to do, but just sit around and be lazy and eat LOL! No family to annoy us or anything. I have a 21 pound turkey in the oven.

Jen, I am so jealous, a last minute trip sounds like so much fun!

Oh, we should have kept on driving and come to your house for dinner!

Our trip was totally last minute but we did have a lot of fun. I will share more about it soon!

Happy Easter everyone!

I was really excited that we were there for the Flower & Garden Show. We all loved the topiaries! We didn't take a huge amount of photos but here is one of the family...

Have a great night everyone!

Hello all!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!!!
Welcome new cruisers!!!!

Jen, welcome back!!! Meagan is doing much better now. The swelling is gone, she is still bruised on both sides, and she still can't feel her bottom lip on her left side, so I am going to call tomorrow and see what the oral surgeon says. I hope it's not nerve damage.

We felt a little rocking and rolling from the earthquake down in Baja. Nothing big. Just enough to rattle the nerves. It does have me a bit worried though. All of the earthquakes that have happen seem to be moving closer and closer to home.

Candy - Sorry to read that Meagan is still not doing great. I had a horrible experience with my wisdom teeth and feel bad for her. Keep us updated!

As great as it was to be at WDW, it is good to be home. I am getting ready to go to bed right now and believe me...I will be crashing.

Have a great night!

 

[kritter]

Jen, love your photo....and your TR...

Candy, glad your all ok with the earthquake and all. Sorry, I did not call you back I started packing since I was stressing out that I had not started yet and we leave in a week!!

Let's just hope California doesn't fall off into the Pacific! Should I be buying some land in Arizona?????
Sorry to hear that Meagan is having issues with the surgery, hope all is well with her soon.
Jen, glad you're home, can't wait to read the TR. BTW you look great in the picts. I must feel great to be 30 lighter!

 

[uncw89]

Jen, Great pic! What day were you at Epcot? I can't wait to read your report.
