Coming from the Great White North in August WE'RE BACK.2nd DAY PTs1&2POSTED PAGE 23

Sorry to hear you are all sick Disneybrat. That's no fun.

Snow White and I returned last evening from our girls time away in Fargo. For some reason this trip I really noticed the Fargo accent.. I don't know how many other times I've been there but this is the first time I noticed. We had a lovely time. Shopping, eating, pool time and I got to read some of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I wanted to re-read it since it's coming out soon. The Canadian dollar not being at par any more really cuts the shopping budget. That and Jasmine's boyfriend wanted some cologne from Abercrombie at $50 US! I seriously need to look at bifocals or progressives because I had my contacts in that day and had to get Snow White to read the price tag..I could only only see some blurry black stuff on the bottom of the box I hate to get old....er. Snow White took some really great pictures when we were away. We will have to post them on here. She had lots of fun in the pool.

The Fargo trip sounds like fun!! DH said that he would like to head down the weekend of the 18th, so I am looking forward to that! Can't wait to see some of your pics from Fargo!!

 

[Queenofallthings]

Oh Peg you are funny!! First off, Jas is thrilled you got that cologne for Thomas....he now smells like her favorite store...and secondly, Thomas is thrilled....Jasmines snuggles with him all the time....ALL THE TIME He said Ìt`s like a love potion....to be young and in love

As far as Peg`s budget, she really doesn`t have one!! Actually, when Jas and I go to the states shopping, neither do we We get that glazed-over-eye-look.....you know the one

Unfortunately for Dh I am very familiar with that look.

Unfortunately for Dh I am very familiar with that look.

See, I knew you would know the look....let DH know how lucky he is that we all live far away, imagine if we all lived in the same town, we could have girl weekends.....he is having heart palpitations now isnt he

 

[Diamondintheruff]

Should you or your clan happen to decend upon Toronto or even Ottawa you must PM me. I will gladly pop over to see you and perhaps we can all practise the look together.

By the way I get the same look in my eye when I'm faced with a desert buffet. Have you checked out the new fireworks desert package at MK?

The possibility of us being in Toronto just may happen, we have family there! It would be wrong not to practice the look

I have checked it out and I think I gained 5 pounds

 

[Queenofallthings]

Whew, it's been a few days since either Peg or I have posted....how odd is that, we usually have something to say

Firstly.....WE LEAVE ONE MONTH TODAY This time next month we will be boarding out flight in Toronto....Jasmine will probably be crying and I'll be wondering if they'll give me a cocktail when I get on the plane

Got my cast off on Mondayonly to find out once they xrayed that yup,,,,still broken. Anyhoodle, he didn't put another one on as he said he was leary of immobilizing it again and to just try and exercise it to strengthen the muscles again....ok!!! I was just happy to have use of both hands again. But, loser that I am, smashed it as I was getting into the car....a few tears may have escaped my eyes Oh well, he told me no strenuous activity....I'm a mom, what is he thinking I got back on the 28th for another xray, but no matter what, I am not going to WDW with a cast on my hand, I'll just suck it up

So spent yesterday morning at Purplepegs going over our Garden Grocer list, took us a LONG time to do this. Oh well, one more thing to stroke off our lists. Speaking of lists, I really need to get the binder out today or tomorrow and see what I have left.

Oh I have some sad news....my friend and her daughter have cancelled their trip with us B's mom is now in pallative care and we're not sure how long she has, it wasn't a hard decision to make....there will be other trips in our future I'm sure. I do want to re-look at the schedule we had done for the 4 of us as I may make some changes. Jas and I are taking the 21 and 22 as pool rest days after Peg and her family go home, as the 22nd was when they were to arrive. We also had a pool day scheduled our last week so I think we might do Blizzard Beach instead.....I'll wait until Jasmine gets out of bed and run thisby her

I think that's about it for now.......

Thanks for all the good vibes I totally agree about the last month flying by, then the last 2 or 3 days we're running around like chickens with our heads cut off

Peg was going to have Geodoc give the GG list a looksy over before we sent it in, I haven't heard from her today so I'm hoping it was all good

I have definitely made up my mind that we're doing BB, I think on the 21st, I don't know how crazy it would be on a Saturday, so I think for sure the Friday.

Have a great weekend too, we'll chat soon

Boy we haven't been here for a while! had a great time in Fargo, I have to upload the pictures from Snow's camera. Today we were at Tinkertown(local small amusement park) with some friends and had a great time. Parking lot was packed but no real lineups. It was cool and being a Friday I think most people were headed to the lake. Score for us. 4 hrs later we headed home. I'll see if I have any pictures of the kids alone because we went with friends and I'm not sure she would enjoy her children on the net! The new Ferris Wheel is up and running and it;s not my favourite ride since I'm afarid of heights I had to go on because Mini Montana is not tall enough. We were on for a long timeAnyway, also went to pediatrician today for annual weights and heights and Mini Montana needed her TWO before Kindergarten shotsHow well did you think that wentShe actually did pretty well, I always explain to my kids about them before and she knew but seemed to have forgotten. As we left the playground this morning I mentioned that she was going to get two shots. She started crying and I in my infinite mother wisdom says there is nothing to cry about now, you can cry when you get them IF they hurt but no screaming! She did really well. Tinkertown afterwards certainly helped
Did we mention we all went to the Jonas Bros. concert here last week? It was lots of fun, MIni Montana was more excited thatn anyone. I forgot to bring a camera but Jasmin actually got up close and personal when the boys came out sign autographsI'll have to get some on here for you guys. I am really feeling the crunch now, I have to get my park cards done, the binder organized (everything is in a folder), update the packing lists, send in the Garden Grocer order, hopefully we didn't order too much
Queen is worried about our luggage getting lost moving resorts but I pm'd two people and they said it went very smoothly. Why pay for a cab when that money could be put toward a tropical alcoholic beverage We have a baseball game (as spectators) this weekend but I'm hoping to find some time to update with pictures to tide you over

 

[Queenofallthings]

Ahhh Peg, what I don't do for you....

Here are some pics from Jasmine's close encouter with the Jonas Bros. She called me from her cell and I thought she was being mugged...lots of screaming. All I could think of is I've left my baby in downtown Winnipeg to fend for herself.....nope....just 2 feet from the Jonas Bros is all

I didn't think you would need captions.....I also don't want to bore you with too many, she did take 200 pictures Sure takes you back to your first concert though She spent $40 on a shirtbut it was her own money so what could I say

Now back to the matter at hand....our trip to the WORLD!!!! I am so uneasy about that luggage transfer from SSR to AKL I hope Peg fully understands if anything goes wrong I will torment her over it

We decided that Jasmine and I are going to send our beach towels and bathing suits with Peg so when we arrive we don't need to wait for our luggage or load down our carry-ons, we can just go to the room, change and swim

Jasmine works today at 2 so I am hoping to get the binder together, index cards finished and finalize the packing lists, I'm sure there is stuff I still need to buy but can't for the life of me think what that is right now

 

[Charleston Princess]

My daughter would have died from happiness on the spot!!! What a great experience for Jasmine!

I don't think you need to worry too much about the luggage transfer -- from what I understand it goes pretty smoothly (of course those could be my famous last words -- I am knocking on wood as I type this ).

Ah yes, brings me back to the Bay City Rollers!

Yeah, I know....I'll say it was your fault if the luggage transfer doesn't go wellI did ask Timandlesley and dddisrunner and they both said it went very smooth so we'll go with positive vibes and it'll be fine

I thought I would post some assorted pictures of some things we've done lately. Hope you enjoy them! Snow White took all these pictures, I think she did a magnificant job!

I hit post instead of adding more pictures! Oops. Here's some more.

Snow White enjoying some woodland company!

Another friend!

The next several pictures are of the pool area and I took them so they are not the quality Snow has! She loved this pool it was so much fun. She got blisters from the net trying to get across the log slices.

This is how she resorted to getting across by jumping on to them.

Our room, it had two queens but I was packing at the time.

Space Aliens restaurant. Snow loved this place.

More shopping places.

Traffic stopped for our resident geese to cross.

Some pictures playing at the park and bonding with ducks.

Hope you enjoyed!
