DDA Chapter 25

[bethbuchall]

I have a million things that I should be doing, but I'm waiting for dh to bring home more sugar so that I can get back to baking. I don't want to start something and then stop it. (Well, that's my excuse anyway...I'm mostly just lazy. )

I ordered a photo book from Snapfish to use as an autograph book just for our CP and Cape May meals. I like how it turned out. I may make another with some of the kids' favorites.

There's the garage door...sugar is here!

Deb,

I can bring all the papergoods, plates, cutlery, napkins,cups etc. Also chips, pretzels, & anything else you think we need.

I am so looking forward to getting together too!

Sounds good. Do you prefer lunch or dinner?

Sounds good. Do you prefer lunch or dinner?

I am fine with either..whatever works better for you & your gang. I am just glad we can do this. As far as food, again, anything would be great. It will be really nice to be able to just hang out & chat & let the kids play.

We are totally looking forward to the BBQ too. It will be wonderful to have time with dear friends. If my memory serves me we decided on July 22. Does anyone have an opinion of time? We will make any time frame work. We have also requested a villa just across the street from the pool entrance. I'm sure the kids will want to swim even though it isn't the themed pool. I'm planning to pick up hamburgers and hot dogs, what else do we want for food. I'm sure my mother will insist on potato salad or deviled eggs too. It should be easy to make stuff since it is a full sized kitchen.


???? for DDA BBQ participants on July 22nd at THV

Who and how many are coming?

Anything I'm missing?



I cannot tell you how excited we are to get together

We're available any time!

Would you like a dessert? How would you feel about me getting a birthday cake at BW Bakery? I would love to be able share a cake with all of you so we aren't eating cake all week BUT I don't want to make this BBQ about DH's bday and neither would he. I could get some other dessert type things??? Or could get anything you can think of-we are taking a town car from the airport and we'll do a grocery stop on the way. Could do a watermellon-we would buy it on the 18th but I think that would be OK. Or I could get stuff to make somores.

Miles and I are having breakfast at Cape May that morning. I decided on that, since it's close to Epcot. It's an EMH morning at Epcot, so we'll all go over. Then the other three will go to join the tour about 8:45, and Miles and I will snag some fastpasses and walk over to BC for the breakfast. By the time we're done, we'll probably be able to get more fastpasses and then meet the rest of the family sometime after that.

CP is one of the few ADRs that I did get for the whole family. I can't not see Pooh and friends. My kids loved them so much when they were little.

I think you'll like Cape May. I don't think they have an omelet station but they have asparagus and these yummy little cheese blintz. Glad you'll be making it to CP too. Great that you could make the Segway tour on an EMH day. That way those taking the tour can give you their passes so you can get fast passes for all 5 of you!

The characters really like the photo books!

Joe & I did a T-shirt for autographs last May. I bought a size large T so he wouldn't outgrow it too much. It still seems a bit big so I think we may use that again this May. The front is pretty full but we've got the whole back to fill up.

Happy baking!

I just go home from getting Emma's hair cut. I just threw in a load of wash. Now I MUST get the Sony cam corder software installed.

 

[lovesdumbo]

The Sony camcorder that my SIL bought Joe doesn't support Macs. I cannot figure out how to do it.

I got them to play using iMovie and I even got iMovie to "archive" them in a folder but I can't open them up from that folder and I can't figure out how to add them to an iMovie project. I've tried finding an answer on the net but can't figure it out.

I have to try to see if they will work on my PC but I have a feeling the camera won't like Vista either.

Should we plan around 3 PM to get together. That would give us time to hang out, let the kids play and we can casually grill when we're all hungry? I think a birthday cake would be a wonderful dessert. Maybe we can make this trip even more magical than past trips for your husband. Time to hang out with other men Should we get beer and wine? I'm thinking of milk shakes for the kiddos (and those young at heart) My kids love milk shakes and smoothies.

Good morning.

 

[Tammi67]

Debbie - I hope those tornados weren't anywhere near you!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

morning!

I was thinking that, too!

Good morning, DDA!

Sounds great! DH had a good time last summer when we didn't do too much park time. He really loved fishing. I didn't even really have to push him to book this summer at all. I know he'll have a great time at BBQ too. I hope he likes BWI. I think he thinks it will be too "busy" but he hasn't seen photos of the quiet pool-I think he'll really like it there-quieter than any spot at the Poly.

Joe & I can check out the cakes at the bakery in May.

DH told me I should book LaNouba with 30% off in May with Joe but I would really like to go as a family in July. With the 30% off it isn't too outrageous for just the 2 of us-especially if we do this instead of a signature dinner. I guess we could go and see if we like it and think it is something all the others would like too.

Hello

I ended up staying up way too late last night watching James Bond 007 with Nick. It was good one on one time. They younger boys stayed at my parent's last night and Chris was in bed before 10 PM. I ended up sleeping in until 11:30 this morning, then went out to joing the wood splitting that was in progress. We got quite a bit split and then went an checked out some wood that someone at the Aquatic Center had offered. It will be some work to get it hauled out, but it could be 10 or more cords of free hard wood when all is said and done. Plus the work part of it is just about the only exercise I get.

I need to get some things ready for this week as I'll be working days at school and either working or going to lacrosse games in the evenings. Busy week to be sure.

 

[Tammi67]

Good morning.

 

[MrsHeg]

Good Morning,

Thanks for your concern, we had some bad weather but the tornados were to the north of us in Yazoo City. Yaoo City could use plenty of prayer right now, last I heard the death toll was ten with lots of destruction.

We spent the day yesterday with the kids and grandkids and had an improptu cook out, my favorite kind of day.

 

[my3princes]

Good Morning

I was up before the alarm today. I'll be working with a severely handicapped boy this week and it is apparently stressing me out more than it should. Between that and the whole Mother's Day thing I can't seem to clear my head long enough to actually sleep. I guess I can survive on 5 hours sleep for awhile, afterall I did it when the kids were babies. The good side is that I'll be making extra money towards the trip this week

Yay for extra Disney money! I don't think it's fair that you should have to work Easter and Mother's Day or the way your seniority is calculated. We don't really do anything for Mother's Day here, so I wouldn't mind working for someone who did have plans.

I went outside just now & found that a deer (I guess) ate the tops off all my pansies.

Now I just have these little stems with no heads....

Good morning, DDA!

I love pansies, and dh usually gets them and plants them for me for Mother's Day. (Well, it's a running joke that a couple of years he goofed and bought petunias instead of pansies). After last year, though, I think I'm going to ask that he does marigolds. Something kept eating the pansies. I'm guess our pesky chipmunk, but it could have been deer, too. Marigolds aren't very tasty and will do much better. I'll miss the pansies, though. Maybe I can do a couple of containers of them.

 

[Tammi67]

I love pansies,

Evidently the deer do too.

Welcome to the country, Anne Marie.
