DMM where on earth are you at? 2 hours to Orland? You close to Wis border or west? What is halfway?
Oh my goodness. (DD just watched Annie) The sun is actually peeking out here. Haven't seen it in so long, forgot what it looked like

i'm in Rockford, about 15minutes outside of Wisconsin! YIKES i know! hahah!! i live right by Magic Waters!!!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Alright now that i am caught up!

Godd morning everyone! how is this wednesday going??
I have already gotten the kitchen tidied up from breakfast and stripped the beds! I LOVE new linens! autumn 'helped' me make the new beds (which meant she made it longer for me to make a bed!!). Then i tossed them both in Gabriels criv while i vacuumed! They loved it! Now Gabriel is asleep and Autumn wants to sit in my lap and type (which of course is taking forever!!).

Today is a simple library and big park day!!! hopefully Autumn will take her nap a bit early today so we can go around 2?? we'll see though!!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

I'm thinking of giving my mom the keys to my place and having her let the carpet shampooers and cleaning crew in to do the DEEP CLEAN while we're in WDW! that way everything can air dry properly

now i just have to get mom to agree!!!! I don't want her to feel wierd!

 

[Bunchkin]

Oh no! Maybe someone else can drop a plant on my head!! I say we get together at the nice, not smelly, with no sticky floors McD's in Frankfort! HA!!

How about it Bunchkin?? Is there a weekend in your future where we could all meet up at either the scary McD's for the fancy McD's?

We'll make sure we go somewhere where there are no falling objects to worry about Sue!!!

This weekend and next weekend are kinda open.
But not the 3rd or 4th weekend in Sept, and then we are on vacation!!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

I'm thinking Breakfast for dinner today! since we only had waffles and peaches for breakfast! It's simply, quick and super easy!!!

Dh made it into work today and he just called to say he is sleepy well DUH! he's crazy

My mom comes back from Europe on SUNDAY!!! she e-mailed me and let me know she changed her flight to come home from Germany instead of the UK!! she said it was cheaper AND fit more with her schedule

ahh my mom traveller of the world!

Hello everyone! So, I think the sun is trying to pop out over here, but I don't think it's going to last. It's supposed to be cloudy for the next few days, according to WGN radio

Thanks to everyone who sent kind thoughts my way

Mac - I'm sorry to hear you're down, too. I know I'll probably see you on the 16th for sure. I'm off Friday the 22nd of September and DH is going to be out of town but that's a Friday and I'm sure you work
I like that you take your cat with you to bed! Aren't pets just wonderful? I was feeling down last night and I was playing with my parrot, Baby, and she was just being a goofball and making me laugh. They really do sense when something is wrong with you! Normally, she likes to play rough and bite, but last night, she was sweet and cute!

DMM - Your Mom works for McD's? COOL! My friend's husband works there. You mentioned that family thing at Six Flags? I was hinting at my friend that they should take me as an adopted relative, but I don't think she got the hint. I've been wanting to go to GA so badly, since I haven't been in years.

i could handle Yorktown or Oak Brook!!!!! both only about an hour from me!! and i can combine it into a visit to my mommy since she works at the MCds headquarters right there!!

Oak Brook has a Cheesecake Factory! YUMMY!

 

[Bunchkin]

I can do any eveing this week, or not this weekend, but the next. we are visiting H and some friends for the long weekend.

 

[paintnolish]

HAHAHA!!! welcome to my WORLD!!! DDDDDD dora.... she's got her backpack right now and when you push his mouth he sings the backpack song so i have heard it about 20 times already








IN A ROW!

Isn't it a shame when the batteries run out? We have to princess Dora with the growing hair (among many other Dora things) that sings.

The Frankfort fall festival is this weekend!! Have you ever gone? I love it! I wanted to go this year, but not if I was alone..

I changed my sheets on Monday, and I was tempted to put my Halloween sheets on (yes, I have halloween sheets for our bed! )
But I figured it was still too early

If anyone wants to see what caused me to gain 5 lbs in the last week, check out the food pics thread. I've been adding somethings on there. My most recent addition was the ice cream cookie sandwhich from Main St Bakery. 2 big cookies and 3 scoops of icecream. I ate the whole thing, too.

Been to Rockford once. Friend of mine lived there for a short time. It was a few years ago during all the construction on the toll (yeah, I know. When isn't there construction?) Anyway, it took 2 hours to get there and 3 to get home. Traffic!!
Would have to mapquest Yorktown. Oakbrook takes me about an hour and a half.
Bunchkin, when are you going to California? If you have a Costco card, look into the CityPass. We went to DL last summer, and the CityPass was cheaper for DL even if you didn't use anything else in the booklet besides the Disney passes. There are also passes for Sea World, the SanDiego Zoo or Wild Animal Park, and Knott's Berry Farm. We didn't have a Costco membership but bought one just to get the passes and still saved $$$. Check it out online. Is this your first trip to DL? We loved it. Great for young kids. Smaller parks, easier to walk around. The fireworks were awesome-sorry to all the WDW fans (and I am one so no bashing!!!) but Remember Dreams Come True beat Wishes.

I forgot about that! The weather should be nice, too. One year when we went it was so hot!

I seriously doubt you gaines 5 pounds. Everyone knows that WDW food doesn't count! Zero calories! Negative calories, in fact, because you're doing all that walking

yup she has worked there FOREVER! haha!
On the 8th we're going to GA with the company! it's ooo fun! i love when they rent out the park! the lines are non-existant and it's soooooo great!

Sorry she didn't get the hint

 

[Princess Mindy]

what is at the Frankfort fall festival? I've never heard of it, but it sounds nice. Too bad I'll miss it, but please tell me about it!

 

[DisneyMommyMichelle]

Oak Brook has a Cheesecake Factory! YUMMY!

DELISH!!!!

Bunchy, mom better bring home some goodies!! otherwise i won't allow her a ride! hahaha!!!

Isn't it a shame when the batteries run out? We have to princess Dora with the growing hair (among many other Dora things) that sings.

I did do alot of walking, while pushing a double stroller, all while sweating my butt off. It could have been worse! Have you seen the big cookie?!? I don't even want to know the calories and fat!!!
