Boo to you & AKV too!! **11/18**52 days to go, freaking out, a bag & next year!**

Hey Melissa, I fell behind, What the heck?!

Anyway, congrats on the weight loss!! Thats so great for you. Chris bought me a Wii Fit for my birthday so I'm hoping that coupled with school starting in a month (ickkkk) and my schedule getting more hectic that I'll drop some weight too. Just 10-15 lbs, thats all I ask for! LOL

You know I love all your Disney Past pictures! I obviously don't know your kids in real life but hearing all about them on here makes it really cool to get to "see" them grow up! :thumbsup2
 
School started in here this week, so last week was prep week for me. Life gets hectic around these parts when school goes full swing as I homeschool the lot of them. Anyways, I enjoyed looking through that last trip from the past. I never would have guessed that there was a housecall service for the doctors.

I keep falling behind on TR/PTR's too! I think its just life!

I'm super excited about losing weight! I would love to look at the pictures from our trip in Jan and not think "OMG I'm fat!" :lmao:

LOL! You do kinda know the kiddos! Throughthe PTRs and TRs how could you not? I love the fact that I can lay my scrapbooks out, go through them and watch the kids grow up!

SCHOOL! OMG! My kids don't go back to school until Sept 10th!! :scared1::scared1: They always start the Thurs after labor day and labor day is late this year!

Having that doctor come to the room was a lifesaver! With DH off on Keys to the Kingdom I didnt want to have to drag DD and MIL to god only know where for a dr! It was expensive but totally worth it! Plus between medical insurance and trip insurance we got almost all of it back!!



Good morning friends!!

I'm going to MIA for a few days! The kiddos and I are hitting the road and going to visit Grandma and Grandpa in PA! Not sure when we're coming back yet! Either Sunday or Monday! It depends on the weather! It's supposed to get insanely hot in the NY area next week! I'd prefer to be home in the air conditioning then at my parents house without any and dying!

If I have a chance while I'm gone I'll come back and post a picture or a fun fact ;)

See ya real soon!
 
That really cracked me up! To think about it, really, $3.50!!!! What the heck can you even get for $3.50 at WDW!! I'm intrigued to know! I may go on a hunt in January for items $3.50 and under!! I can get postcards for less then $3.50 but what else?!

Hmmm....a SNACK credit is generally worth up to $4.00, so you can pretty much only get snacks for that little! :laughing:

1st is that DS2 is practically potty trained!!!

:banana: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is awesome!!!!

I am really hoping we can get Henry potty trained while he's in his 2's - especially since on DCL if a child is 3 and potty trained they can go into the Kids Clubs, and I think he'll want to do that! And, I'm getting to be so done with diapers. We are getting him a potty chair very soon, and he already has words for it and tells us when he's going - or if he has gone. He gets it, so I know that's the first steps! Plus, he almost always stays dry at night and during naps! :thumbsup2

It's gotta be so nice being almost DONE with diapers!

So today, I'm happy to report that I've lost somewhere around 15 LBS and fit into the shorts I wore in 2005!!! Their a little tight so I won't wear them yet but they fit!!! This time last year I could even pull them up!!

I already said Congrats, but this deserves more dancing bananas. :rotfl2: :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

So so great!!!!!!!!! Are you just being more aware of what you are eating/when you are eating, etc? Or are you on a plan of sorts?

I LOVED your Disney memory, what a very magical trip!! Wow, GF Conceriage...:cloud9:

All your pics made me get tears in my eyes. I love the one of your DD making a wish. It's so perfect - what a special birthday she had! I hope we can do something similar for Henry when he's older-a big birthday blow out bash with lots of pixie dust and surprises! :goodvibes

I love that the Dapper Dan's sang to her (it looks like she is the only one on Main Street in that pic!) and the one of her on the stairs at the GF is so precious.

And Ryan meeting Mickey! :lovestruc So adorable!

Love your DS in that fez, too cute!

And the one of your DFIL with his girlfriend...:lmao: What a great shot! It perfectly catches that moment!

I'm so sorry the boys got sick on that trip, but very glad to read it was clearing up right away. :thumbsup2
 

Have fun in PA! Great recap of Ryan's first trip!
 
Hey Melissa:

Sorry I got so far behind.

First of all...congratulations on the 15lb wt loss...that is awesome. It is always so great to be able to fit in smaller clothes.

Second....I love the recap of your GF trip. The kids are so cute and it sounds like such an awesome trip.

Third.....hope you have fun at your parents. I guess if they don't have A/C the probably don't have internet :laughing: Just guessing because that's how my parents house is.

4th....September 10th rocks for back to school. I always think school should start after Labor Day. That's just me and my memory from childhood.

Hmm, so I can get a Mickey bar for what used to be the price of admission :rotfl2:

if he had a word for it and gets it he's ready! My aunt has theory that there's a small window of opportunity around 2 and if you miss it it will be heck to train the child! I'm sooooooo proud of Ryan!! I can't even believe it! He's had 1 accident in the past 2 days and that's it!! He is, of course, still wearing a diaper at night but he's very unhappy about it! I just keep thining about not having to carry a huge bag around WDW!!! :cloud9:

I know this is going to sound weird but I decided I'm not going to be fat anymore! :lmao: Really! It's kinda like a lifestyle change/move! I have to do it for me! DH thinks I'm ridiculous for thinking I'm fat but I'm just not happy with the way I look/feel! So everytime I go to put something in my mouth that I shouldn't I think of that," I'm not gonna be fat anymore!" and I easily put it down! It's become more and more easy and I pick up less and less bad stuff!

I LOVED your Disney memory, what a very magical trip!! Wow, GF Conceriage...:cloud9:

I was sooo excited to stay at GF at all and then to be upgraded was soooo magical!!!!! It was heaven!

All your pics made me get tears in my eyes. I love the one of your DD making a wish. It's so perfect - what a special birthday she had! I hope we can do something similar for Henry when he's older-a big birthday blow out bash with lots of pixie dust and surprises! :goodvibes

That CM was so sweet and the whole wish thing gave me goose bumps!! She put pixie dust in DD's hand and told her to make a wish and blow the pixie dust!


I love that the Dapper Dan's sang to her (it looks like she is the only one on Main Street in that pic!) and the one of her on the stairs at the GF is so precious.

And Ryan meeting Mickey! :lovestruc So adorable!

Love your DS in that fez, too cute!


these are why I take 90000 pictures at WDW! So many magical memories that I'll cherish forever!

And the one of your DFIL with his girlfriend...:lmao: What a great shot! It perfectly catches that moment!

OMG!! That was the most hysterical moment!! FIL LOVE Hoop De Doo and when she came and sat on his lap it made his trip!!!

I'm so sorry the boys got sick on that trip, but very glad to read it was clearing up right away. :thumbsup2

that was terrible! I felt sooooo bad for them! They were both so sick for a little while!Thank god for that doctor!

Enjoy your time in PA!

Thanks!! We're hacing a great time!

Have fun in PA! Great recap of Ryan's first trip!


Thanks! We're having a lot of fun! Ryan's anpping so I can sneak in a little Dis time on my mom's computer while the big kids play with their cousins!

Don't worry about being behind!! Believe me I understand! There's so much going on with everyone all the time!

I'm so happy about losing weight! I hope it keeps coming off!

:lmao: LOL!!! They do having internet! Although painfully slow!

I love the week between the beginning of Sept and when school starts because all the people from NYC who summer out by us start to go home and it gets really quiet! I love to take the kids to the beach then! It's only us! the 10th seems so late though! Scholl always starts the Thurs after Labor Day and Labor Day is late this year! If I didn't hate heat I'd get on a plane to WDW for week the beginning of Sept to kill sometime and have a last bit of summer fun!!!
 
Sorry, I have been lurking too much in the last days, but just wanted to post and say how much I enjoyed the BTMR train names! They are so cute!! :goodvibes I guess I will buying that trivia book one day...

I thought they were too cute to!!
 
The trains names are great - never knew they even had names. Do you know if they are written anywhere on the train?

I was wondering the same thing! If so I'd like to try to get a quick pic of 1 or 2 in the loading area!

WOW I wish we started Sept 10th LOL...however we go back to school next week and the kids come the 24th!!!

YAY on the Weight Loss that is amazing!!!! I definitely know how all that feels as I'm struggling with mine but so far I have lost 12 lbs and I plan to continue to lose!!!

Thanks!! I'm sooo happy that he's doing so well with the potty training! It's been so easy!!

The 10th seems a loooonnnggg way away! I know it will be here before I know it but it seems so late!

I think I set myself back on our trip to PA! All my mom has in the house is junk!! Not to mention going to the county fair and eating all sorts of bad treats :headache: But I'm back on the wagon ;)
 
Hey Melissa, glad to see you're back from PA. How'd it go? We went to the Bronx Zoo today, it was gross and sticky out and the people there are so rude! Like worse than in WDW!!

I never knew that about BTMRR! Thanks for the cool facts :thumbsup2
 
Hi Melissa! :wave:

I don't know what has taken me so long to get over here but I am now all caught up!

You are one talented scrapbooker. I loved seeing all the pages of your past visits! :)

Your family is adorable - so many cute pictures. The sick boys sleeping together, princess waiting for her prince on the GF stairs, sleeping baby pirate, the Aladdin poses, Ryan meeting Mickey and chewing on his nose and I'm sure a few more that I am not mentioning. Adorable family! :goodvibes

Congrats on the weight loss. I am struggling in that regard currently and can use all the inspiration I can get!

A surprise trip. That sounds heavenly. It's definitely something I want to do someday.

DVC! So happy for you - and jealous. :rolleyes:

Can't wait for more!! :)

It was fun but exhausting!!

I want to take the kids to the Bronx Zoo before school starts! I think they'd love it! But we have to pick a not too hot and humid day! I just cant handle that, especially with rude people!!! It's too bad people were rude! Thats what gives New Yorkers a bad name!

I thought the names were too cute!! I wanna try to see if the names are on the cars and take a picture!

Hi Christine!!! Welcome!!

Awww thanks! I love scrapbooking! I have to branch out of doing just our Disney trips! LOL!!

I think my family is pretty adorable too! But I maybe a little tiny bit bias!! LOL!! I LOVE to look back at all the pictures and feel that magical memory!!

I'm super excited to loss weight! I just hate the way I look right now! DH is great because he tells me he thinks I look great no matter what! I looked at some pictures at my moms in PA from my skinner days after DS6 was born and thought how much I want to look like that again!!

I love keeping this trip a suprise! I just hope it stays that way! It's sooooo hard!! Once the kiddos go back to school I'll be home free for the most part! Aside from the fact that my ADR day is a Saturday! :headache: I may have to leave home and do it via cellphone!!!

I love DVC and we haven't even been home yet! I LOVE knowing that there are soooo many more trips to come! I LOVE that DH knows the points are there to be used and doesn't mind using them! I LOVE knowing that we'll have a bigger room! I LOVE knowing we'll have a kitchen and a washer/dryer! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everything!! I could go on but I won't ;)
