DDA Chapter 14

[MrsHeg]

What a day. The best part is that it is over

MIL called. It appears that they have scheduled the wake for 6-8 pm on Friday, yep on Halloween I cannot think of a worse day of the year to have a wake. The funeral will be on Saturday at 11 am. We are torn on what to do. We did not care for the man, but feel that we should be there to support his mother. On the other hand we feel like we have an obligation to our kids to take them to Halloween activities. My Mom will take them to bowling league on Saturday so Chris and I will attend the funeral. Do you think it is ok to skip the wake? I wonder how many people will even show up on Friday for the wake?

Could Chris go to the wake and stay with his Mom and you take the kids to their activities?

Happy Birthday Christopher

He could, but he doesn't want to. He wants to go with the kids.

What do you think of this for a kitchen border?

LOVE it!

 

[PNO4TE]

I thought everyone had early voting?

We have had it a few years.

I never heard of it until this election, so i am pretty sure we don't have it here!

Gary & I were married 19 years ago as of yesterday.

Congrats, Janet! (and Gary)

Heidi-stay warm!

I made Leighanna a little Halloween outfit for school today. She will wear her Bo Peep tomorrow for their parade. She doesn't have school on Friday.

She did spill a little orange paint on it at school. She was painting a picture of a pumpkin for me, so she is forgiven!

SO cute! I wanted to make something for Emma but I couldn't find any Halloween fabric I really liked.







So I've been crazy busy again this week at work but the end is almost here. And we've got the 3 kid's teacher conferences this week, Joe had a Halloween party on Monday, and Emma had a birthday party this week so it's been a crazy week.



I did order my dSLR last night and while I really want it I can't help but wonder if it was the smartest move given the state of the economy. I guess I'll be busy this weekend trying to figure it out. It is supposed to arrive tomorrow-hopefully UPS won't try to deliver it when DH is at Emma's parent/teacher conference as it needs a signature.


AP rates came out for Jan & early Feb today. I could NOT use it on my AKL CL room-I do have AAA but AP would be about $50 more off per night. When I first booked the room I told myself that I would be happy with the AAA discount as I knew that AP was not likely but now I am wondering if I should just stay at Pop. I could get Savanna view room at AKL with AP for about $570 less than CL but I really want to do the Sunrise Safari and I do enjoy CL service. I think I'll just keep what I have for now and hope they will offer more discounts or maybe there will be cancelations. I can always switch to Pop in a few weeks if I still think that would be a better option for us.


I finished Joe's Martian costume this weekend and made Lizzy a pirate head wrap, sash, and vest. On Halloween for Joe's Martian we'll add glow bracelets to the cuffs and arm holes. There are tabs for them on the costumes. I don't know if Emma will be Buzz or a pirate on Halloween.

I would like to thank all of you who offered a design. My first thought was actually Maxine since we didn't have time to do a characiture of me!!!!!!

I think the voting has ended and we are going to go with the design that Tom came up with. Even Ray has agreed to wear the design!!!

We just have to decide on what color shirt to wear and to use a border or not

Tom,

could you add

Team Private Summers

over the picture?

Thank you so much

I think at least Chris should make a quick appearance on Friday, to support his mom.

 

[Tammi67]

He could, but he doesn't want to. He wants to go with the kids.

Unfortunately, death is not convenient.

We do, it's just called absentee voting. It's not as strict as some of the others. For instance, if you are working or commuting 11 of the 13 hours that the polls are open, you could absentee vote. http://www.sbe.virginia.gov/cms/Absentee_Voting/Index.html

 

[Tammi67]

Bernadette - great costumes!

 

[Tammi67]

Good morning.

 

[Pooh67_68]

We don't vote early in my area, not sure about the rest of Pa.

I'm pretty sure that NYS doesn't.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Happy Belated Anniversary

Gary & I were married 19 years ago as of yesterday.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Well then I must have old DDA info, sorry about that.

Heidi-I forgot to say...got your mail yesterday!! Though it was to my grandparents house, they brought it over right away!!

 

[Pooh67_68]

So cute, and the outfit is too.

I made Leighanna a little Halloween outfit for school today. She will wear her Bo Peep tomorrow for their parade. She doesn't have school on Friday.
