Actually, they are very nice, and have already offered to help. 
Their kids are living in the pool, so that is nice for them too. They had spent time in Yosemite, and had driven in from there. 
But it does make me feel old, since I'm now a Great Aunt!!
Good Morning Ladies! Sorry I've been MIA. It has been a very busy week with my sister and nephews here. Yesterday I picked up my nephew and his 3 month old baby at the airport. Forgot how much fun it was to hold a newborn. What a sweetie pie!
So I have a houseful and trying to work and take care of everything. At the moment I am unable to post on this public forum what is going on with the custody battle. I know that it would probably be ok, but you never know who would be reading. But I do have some news and I'm really want to tell everyone, so if you want to know please let me know and I will PM you.
I love newborns. Other people's newborns!

I was working earlier on DS work list....I have decided...while his intentions were good...the sneak part was not...so..we are going to have a mother son moment...we shall bond together....
I will talk and watch while he cleans the garage, shed, carpets upstairs as well as the stairs....and when we close down the pool, he has to be the go fetch it boy...and the one in the cold water to lift the stairs out...he has been instructed to say, here let me help you...and not mention that I have told him to do it...and when DH says, why is he suddenly doing all this, he has to answer, because I just wanted to do something nice....

Mgmt. reserves the right to change, add or modify any of the jobs listed above because I can and or for my amusement.....
that is the letter given to him.....
I can just see that. Ummmm excuse me MR Giraffe. Mr. and Mrs. Jones would like more interaction down in room 2156 so if you could kindly move down there between 7and 7:15am each morning. Do it or else you'll see a pink slip on your desk in the morning.
which they never ARE!LOVE the letter to him! Perfect
I've heard great things about POP. We've never been. It wasn't open when we moved back but both my CM friends and just friends who have gone have stayed at POP and have all loved it. Yes noisy but I really dont go to WDW to relax anyway. The only other place I've never stayed at is AKL but this does not appeal to DH at all. I brought it up and he looked at me like I had just pooped in the living room. He is NOT an animal person at all. I think it might be cool. I had 2 friends stay there though with savannah view rooms and neither of them saw animals. One even complained.
I didn't really find it all that noisy, although I'm sure if your room is near one of the pool sides it would be a bit noisy. We were facing the parking lot and found it to be very quiet.
The Pop is a fun hotel. I love looking at all the retro games and toys in the lobby.
Please eat a piece of tie-dye cheesecake for me!
Who, me?Where is she going?
this question was assuming she doesnt look here again and that was truly a drive by post!
Ya know I'm not a fan of cheesecake at all but I've hear so much about the ins and OUTS of this cheese cake that I'll do it for YOU!
I've had this cheesy smile all morning. Like I just realized in a month and a half I'll be at WDW for 2 weeks baby!
Who, me?
We're going to the ocean!
We used to go every summer, but haven't been the last two or three years. The timing of this trip worked out so well because of that, and because:
1. DS7 had wanted to go to DL on his birthday, but didn't want to deal with heat or crowds (neither did we!) So I planned so we'd to to the ocean on his birthday!
2. Since our DL trip isn't until Dec., I really wanted us to do something this summer while the kids had time off. This short, local trip is a great solution, and the kids will be happy just to dig in the sand, walk on the beach, whatever for 3 days. We also find it very relaxing... or as much as one can with two young children anyway.
3. My neighbor friend and her family have been at the same location this past week. They're in a condo, so she invited us over to their place tomorrow night for dinner. She's going to bake a cake for DS! The kids are BEYOND EXCITED to actually have other kids they know that they can play with there!!!
4. We planned the trip so that DH would only be taking 2 days off work. Then it looked like he might be taking a business trip this week, and I was ticked. The business trip didn't happen, but then it looked like another work issue might mean DH would have to work today and part of tomorrow, so we'd have to drive there separately. Fortunately that didn't turn out to be the case either. (DH worked late last night.)
So we're all going, together, and we get 4 days in the sun and sand, WOOHOO!!!!
OK, well maybe not the sun. It's a tad chilly at the beach, plus while there will be a sweltering heatwave in Seattle, it will be cloudy off and on at the coast. But no matter, it will be a blast anyway!
