Calling all Fireman wives!!!

[slo]

I'm slowly starting to lay the girls clothes out for our trip.
It's exciting to finally do this - we need this vacation!!!!!


Karen - I tried telling myself that the caramel apple was healthy when I ate 1/2 of Stephanies, so I decided to eat mine, and that's when I had the guilt. Oh well, I only have them once a year, and it was sure yummy!!!!
**I hope you are able to find a good weekend - I always enjoy it when Kevin and I go away for a weekend
**CHEAP FRAMES just kidding!!!!

MK - Good to see you!!

CB - Kevins FD Patch is by, or on, the firetruck in Epcot. We took a picture of him standing by it. I hope Marcs patch is able to make it into the firehouse - that would be cool!!!!!
**Kevin is excited about the statue that you spoke of - he's buying that when we go
**I"m glad they are giving you a better discount for the holidays - that'll help you so much!!!




Well, I gotta run and get ready for work - I have to get Ms. Katie to daycare early today so she can go to the pumpkin patch. I sure hope the weather holds out for her - I"m nervous that it will rain.

Have a good day!!!

CB - that's great about the better discount! Jim took a patch to the store in MK years ago. Are you going to take Marc to visit the fire stations or E1?


sandy - I know you are excited for your trip!! Are ya'll doing MNSSHP?

Today is my anniversary - 15 years. Jim & I agreed to not do anything, but he didn't comply! He got me some roses, cards and an Edible Arrangement, which is very cool! and yummy!
Today is the opening day of bow season, so Jim will be going to hunt. I hope he kills a big deer. He hasn't killed anything in years and he is getting a little discouraged.

Happy Anniversary Karen and Jim!!!!!

I always tell Kevin to not buy things for me too, and he always does Unfortunately for him though, I always keep my end of the bargain, and all he gets is a card

Good luck to Jim hunting
My neighbor hunts, and he gets something all the time - maybe Jim needs to come up here We currently have a big coyote in the forest next to us, and my neighbor is thinking about shooting it, which I am all for!!! This thing is large, and we are nervous about it hurting our kids, or me when I'm out at night with the dog. When he has a clear shot, he's taking it out, and then having it stuffed for his house.

We are going to MNSHHP on the Tuesday before Halloween.
It was so crowded when we went before, that I'm hoping and praying it's not like that again this year. I had to really talk Kevin into going this year, because he didn't like having to pay more money, to have the park more crowded than what it is during normal admission. If it's jammed again, I doubt he'll ever go again

Well, I gotta run and go workout
Have a great day everyone!!!

 

[slo]

Hooray....it's Friday!!!!
This means I leave a week from tomorrow!!!!


Well, I must run and get some work done around the house
I never have time after work, so I"m doing some housecleaning this morning.
Have a great day!!!!

Hey all......

I finally found my camera cord!!!!



Allow me to introduce you all to Sophie




This was taken the day after we got her

This was taken after Sophie and the girls went for a swim.
For those that don't know - that is Stephanie holding Sophie

Finally - poor Sophie is forced to play school with Stephanie.
This is at work in my office
Don't you love how organized the girls shelf is

We are really looking forward to this vacation - we need it!!!!!

Marcs going to be here the first through the 6th at port orleans. Im so excited to see marc and I think both of us need to relax and just have no worries. Ive been working 6 or 7 days a week to save up and marc has really been working and trying to find a second job.

Im very excited about this trip because I got the room for 60% off and I got the dining plan for $20 a person per night. Only 2 more weeks!

 

[Idroveallnight]

Well hello happy vacation planners!
Sandy - Sophie is too cute! Are ya'll doing MNSSHP?

CB - I know you are ready to see Marc! I don't know any career FFs that don't have a 2nd job! It's just a shame they don't make more!

Homecoming was today at the park. It was a very looooong day! I think it went well. No major problems. I feel like I could sleep for a week! See ya'll in the morning!

 

[slo]

Last night my BFF came over with her DD and so did our neighbors, and we sat around a fire until 11:30pm We had so many laughs, and ate way to much food (smores especially ). Needless to say, this is a very bad food weekend!!!!!


CB - I bet you are excited about Marc coming That'll be great when he's there, and I can't get over how much of a discount they gave you on the room and dining plan - that's awesome!!!!!

Karen - I'm so glad that Homecoming went well I hope you are able to relax today.
**Thanks for saying my little Sophie is cute I just love her!!!!!
**Yes, we are doing MNSHHP on Tuesday - the girls are very excited!!!! Katie is going to be a ladybug, and Stephanie is going to be a Devilish Diva. They are looking forward to doing the trick-or-treating again.


Well, I gotta run and get ready to go out to breakfast - pancakes here I come!!!
Have a good day everyone!!

 

[slo]

I had such a nice weekend!!!!!
Yesterday was such a nice day. We went out to breakfast, and then went to the local pumpkin patch, where I took some nice pictures of the girls Then we went to my mom's for dinner, which was my favorite pizza and birthday cake We shared some good laughs, and it was just an overall great night!!!!!



I can't believe we are leaving at the end of this week - thank goodness!!!!
Even though this weekend has been good, it's also been very weird, with weird things happening. Kevin finally asked me if we are living in the Twighlight Zone - so this weekend can't come fast enough!!!



Well, I must go work off all this pizza and cake that I ate yesterday.
Have a great day today!!!

 

[Idroveallnight]

Good morning everyone! It is nice and cool here this morning - very fall like!

sandy - pizza and birthday cake sounds like a good combo! Whose birthday were ya'll celebrating? Maybe this Twilight Zone weekend was getting you ready for the Tower of Terror?

It was my birthday
I turned the big 37
Before I had the girls, my bday was SO important. Now, I get so into their birthdays, that I could care less about mine

Have a good day!!!

 

[Idroveallnight]

sandy Happy Belated Birthday!!

 

[CelticBelle]

Happy birthday! I love october babies! You should get a birthday button at wdw even though its a week late.

 

[slo]

Well gang, I finally turned on my furnace this morning - it's cold in here!!!
Kevin and I said we didn't want to put it on until after vacation, but it was 58 degrees when I woke up My hands just can't deal with that, and I can't wear gloves inside - that wouldn't work well


Question.........
Do any of you feel the need to pack unneccesary food to take on the plane? I do, and I don't know why, but I do. The girls have several snacks (2 of each - one for both ways), and I bought myself some things last night at Walgreens. In the end, we don't eat all of them, but I feel the need to be prepared - weird I know!!!!


Thanks for the birthday wishes!!!!!


Well, I'm off to do some more packing
Have a great day!!!

 

[CelticBelle]

They allow you to pack food onto the plane? I thought you can only have what you purchase at the terminal?

That is for drinks. I wish I could take my own beverages - that would make things so much easier. I always have to make sure to buy waters before we get on board

Hey all.....I"m leaving in 2 days!!!!

I'm almost ready, but not - it that makes any sense
I'm feeling pretty comfortable about what I have lefted out to pack, but I"m not comfortable with how I"m leaving the house. I normally like to dust and vaccuum before I leave, but there's no way that is going to get done, and I"m not going to stress myself out with doing it I did clean all the bathrooms yesterday morning, so I just need to touch those up tomorrow night. I will definitly vaccuum and mop the kitchen floor - I must come home to a clean kitchen floor!!!!!!!



Well, I gotta run and get ready for work
We need to leave early today so I can take Sophie to the groomers. I was going to wait until we got home, but she accidentally tore my mom's coat yesterday with her long nails, so I decided to go now (my mom is watching her while we are gone, and I don't want her ruining anything else. She probably wouldn't, but I'm paranoid now )

Have a great day!!!!

 

[Idroveallnight]

Hi all!

sandy - Let the housework go!! I think it's better to have the snacks! What if you get delayed and are stuck just sitting on the plane? What if somebody drops their snack on the floor? You just never know!! How exciting that ya'll are about to leave! The weather here is cool, but not cold. I can understand you needing the inside warm for your hands, it would be hard to cook breakfast with gloves!

 

[slo]

Hey all - I'm leaving tomorrow!!!!!!!
I leaving with a pretty bad cold though - so that doesn't make me happy
I"m taking Zicam, Sudafed during the day, and Nyquil at night (well not tonight, because I won't wake up then to leave at 4:45am). I"m trying to fight it, and I hope the Zicam will help. I do not want this cold lingering for our entire trip

The girls are 100% packed, after I had to revamp 50% of everything I had laid out. The reason for that is because I looked at Orlandos weather and it is going to be low 80s Sunday, high 70s Monday, low 70s Tuesday and Wednesday, and I'm assuming similiar weather for the rest of the week. So I had to replan, because I had shorts and tank tops out for the girls. Now they have all short sleeve shirts and capris

This morning I need to change all our sheets (I like coming home to clean sheets) and pack my suitcase (which needs to be slightly revamped too). Then tonight I need to pack our carry-ons, vaccuum and scrub the kitchen floor, and then go to bed. I hope I sleep, because I can never sleep the night before we leave. I'm always so paranoid that I didn't pack something, that something is going to be left on, that I won't hear the alarm and we won't get up on time, and the list goes on and on - I"m such a worry wart!!!!!!




Karen - It would be hard to cook breakfast with gloves!!!
**I am going to leave the housework go (except for the things I mentioned). I will do the rest when I get home, which will help alleviate some stress





Well, I gotta go jump in the shower and get myself moving - I have a lot to do before I go to work
Have a great day!!!!
