Tia - you did a fabulous job with the party! I'm very impressed!

Amy - I hope everyone is on the mend and that it stays away from Kevin.

Hi all,

There's no way I can get caught up tonight, or this weekend, but I wanted to let you know we're finally safe in Huron.

A nasty vomiting bug traveled through 3/4 of my household starting with Alyssa at 2 a.m. on 2/15, Matthew at 5 a.m. on 2/15 and finally me, around 9 a.m. on 2/15. I'm still not convinced Kevin is in the clear, but for whatever reason, he's still been spared. We had to delay our trip a bit, but we all seem much better, and we'll make the most of the two days we're here.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend...I'll try my best to catch up on Tuesday!

Amy

Yikes! I hope everyone stays healthy, and glad to hear your travels were safe. I hope Kevin escapes it!

ESPN club. Great food, huge portions and reasonable prices

We also like Pecos Bills, ABC Commisary, Flame Tree BBQ, Electric Umbrella, Trails End, Earl of Sandwich.

That's one I forgot! I haven't eaten there, but it's supposed to be really good! One day I'll make it over to Ft. Wilderness...

And finally, some pictures owed from the last couple of months...

Terra's Christmas dress that I made...

Snow Phil...

More great pics! I love Snow Phil.

The party looked like great fun, and a lot of fun, creative effort on your part. The plates particularly were awesome IMO! Great job, Mom!

Great party pics! Terra looks so adorable too. Please wish her happy birthday for me.

Night all. I have strep and a sinus infection (gotta love those 2 year olds I teach), and I'm calling it an early night. Besides, we stayed outside almost 7 hours today. Phew!

Well, I think that I'm going to see if I can sneak out of here for a few minutes and just spend some time with some quiet. If not, then maybe I'll go take a hot bath or something. While I'm surprised that I wasn't stressed out by the time the party started, it was still a busy couple of days and I'd love a few minutes to myself. (We've got Kassie's party at the indoor pool tomorrow so the fun isn't over yet.)

Good night everyone!!

 

[Tammi67]

I'm going to head to bed and read a new book that I got from the library. Talk at y'all tomorrow. Goodnight.

Thanks again for all the help with the codes everyone!

Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm so happy that it came together so well in the end since until yesterday many things were just ideas in my head. I thought that the plates were going to be the hardest part of it all, but they actually turned out really easy once I mastered trimming the "white" out from around the characters I copied in from clipart, etc. Some quick cutting and gluing this morning and they were good to go!

 

[Tinkaroo]

I did most of it by memory but had to go back to the menu Bob secreted in his jacket pocket to see what the sauces were on two of the selections. Remember, this is ME you are asking.... it has to do with FOOD!

Still....very impressive!!!!

A blanket of for health and peace at your house, Denise!

I think I'm going to head to bed, too. I didn't accomplish hardly anything I needed to do today, so tomorrow after church, I need to get my hiney in gear. Goodnight, DDA!

My favorite cs are:

MK- Casey's(love the hot dogs!)
AK - Pizzafari(love the bread sticks!)
AK -Flametree BBQ(Riley's favorite)
Epcot -Sunshine Seasons(ate here for the 1st time n Oct. & will be going again!)
Epcot - Lotus Blossom Cafe(fried rice & egg rolls, yum!)
Epcot - San Angel(nacho platter)
Epcot- Tangierine Cafe(yummy shawarma platter)
Epcot - Youkshire Fish Shop(love the fish & chips)

Ok, I'm in need of all your favorite CS or cheaper TS locations. We are trying to plan some places to eat in June if we can talk my sister into eating out. We are doing CRT for breakfast one day. We'll probably do Ohana for dinner one night for the ambience. We are trying to avoid the family style or buffets because of the cost.

 

[tinknme]

Wow that sounds good!

Since Lindsay did a mini food review I will do the same before I head off to bed. This was a prix fixe meal tonight and the cost was $50. It included an appetizer, a soup or salad, an entree, dessert and a beverage (tea, coffee, soft drink).

Appetizers were: warm artichoke, sundried tomatoe and goat cheese dip with coriander dusted pita chips; baked mussels with almond breadcrumb stuffing with a lemon aioli or skirt steak with a balsamic reduction and gorgonzola. Soup was asparagus and lime and the salad was a lettuce wedge with cracked pepper bacon and crumbled gorgonzola. Entrees: Chicken breast stuffed with almonds and apples, served with a pancetta and roasted tomato cream sauce; peppercorn encrusted NY strip with a cognac sauce reduction; and pistaschio encrusted Mahi-Mahi with honey pistaschio butter. Dessert: marble crumb cake with vanilla bean ice cream or deep fried cheesecake dipped in Belgian chocolate.

It was really an outstanding meal. Service was not up to the level of the meal but they are working on that. All in all, a very pleasant evening!

If it was there while I was posting this morning, I did not notice it either

I must have had a cookie issue or something because I swear that it wasn't there when I was posting with you guys. I evevn thought that I was missing something from one of the posts between you two, but went back and couldn't find it.

 

[UP Disney]

Thanks for all the help on the CS. I've also added Beaches & Cream to the list. This is going to be a much different trip with my sister. I want to make sure we are prepared for different scenarios because I don't know yet whether she will be eating in the room a lot or will eat out with us or what.

 

[UP Disney]

Becky is on her way home. I'm almost falling asleep in my chair. I want to be in bed! However, I told her I would see her when she got home. I've been gone for 5 days and she usually likes to get a hug when I return. We'll chat tomorrow.

 

[tinknme]

I told you not to mix your drinks!

I have to ask, though... are Woody and Jesse in bed together?!?!

 

[tinknme]

Amy sorry to hear you have all been sick! Hope you can relax & enjoy your time with your families

Tia what an awesome looking party! I love how you decorated the plates

 

[tinknme]

Night everyone!

 

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

Wow! The sickies are running rampant! I have talked to more people today that have been sick, or are starting to get sick!

Please stay away from us!

We celebrated my Mom's birthday today, and had a good time. Leighanna's birthday is next Saturday, so I still have some more planning to do to get that all done! I know my party will be NOTHING like Terra's! Way to go Tia on such great ideas! I might have to copy a couple of those!

At least the sun was shining brightly today! Leighanna wanted to give all her Aunties and friends a big cyber hug!

And yes Elin, I think this IS the technical board!

Jennifer! Congrats on your . They will be so much fun!

 

[tinker1bell]

With all of this talk about eyes of the children, thought I would add mine. I have blue eyes that sometimes change to green. Hal has brown. our daughter has blue-green eyes and the boys have brown. Howie's DW has brown but both the grandboys have blue. Guenna's DH has brown but their son also has blue. I love it that I was able to have all the grandkids with gorgeous blue eyes.

 

[MrsHeg]

Good Morning DDA,

I'm sorry to read that so many are under the weather, PD that everyone gets well soon.

 

[tinknme]

A late Happy Birthday to your mom Tom!

Here is a big right back to Leighanna!
