DDA Chapter 6

[UP Disney]

You're supposed to do this????

I don't think you are supposed to do that. I may have done that once in the 13 years that we've lived here.

 

[UP Disney]

Love you Elin!!!!

The no seats is a deal breaker.

Instead of POTS, we will opt for deluxe dining. I also canceled our Saturday arrival, so that saved huge bucks.

Okay, here's what I was able to get:

Sunday :Citrious watch Wishes from the patio.

Monday: Coral Reef lunch
Rose and Crown dinner watch Illuminations from the patio.

Tuesday: Chefs de France lunch
possibly MNSSHP (this would then count as our MK day)

Wednesday : Jiko dinner (our AK day)

Thursday: Yatchsman Steakhouse dinner

Friday : home

We are doing one day at MK, one day at AK and the remaining time at EPCOT. She has never set foot into AK or EPCOT. I was thinking about adding breakfast at Tusker House.

What do you think??

When are you there Stephanie?

 

[UP Disney]

...all I'm picturing is the inside of your neighbor's house! There is no way to keep all that mud outside!

I was also thinking about what the dog must have torn up inside the house. I didn't even think about the mud they'd be dragging in all the time. I never understand how many can deal with dogs like that.

Why is it that all the men they showed were obese and all the women had tiny perfect bodies?

Perhaps you missed the lifeguards And some of those tatoo'd bikini women were

We started our day with the kids last day of bowling. They invite the local police stations to send officers to bowl with the kids. Colby really enjoyed it, but Nick and Hunter bickered the whole time. From there we went to the bingo hall for the awards ceremony. Nick and Hunter's team which was in 1st place last year end this year in 6th place. They got very small trophies. Colby's team (which Summer and Logan are also on) took 1st place in their division. They were so cute.

After bowling, Nick had a tech crew party to attend. It was at school and they got to use the sound equipment. I think he had fun though he didn't say much (he's at that age where he doesn't say much about anything)

Here are a couple of pictures from the science fair yesterday.

Hunter's display

Summer's display (I think Mom may have helped )

The rest of my day/evening was spent on Nick's room. I ran out while he was at his party to see if I could find a comforter as his old one looked old against the fresh paint. Mom had the 30% off at Kohl's and I was lucky enough to find striped bedding that matched the paint chip I had in my purse Of course it was on deep clearance so I HAD to buy the matching curtains, valance and throw pillow. I even found a rug to match. All for just over $100 which isn't bad if I do say so myself I managed to sort through the books and reload the new bookcase, got the closet doors on and all the other odds and ends done. The only things left in that room is to paint the door casing one more time and find a couple of photos of him and Tuffy for his photo collage. He made a big collage of photos of "his" dog as he still misses him terribly. So here is the big reveal.

This is standing in our clearly unfinished entry looking at Nick and Hunter's rooms

Some of the photos have weird shadows that aren't there in Real Life

Stephanie your dining choices look wonderful! My cabinets need to be cleaned, but I am not bothering with it beings the kitchen is going to be redone. Good excuse right?

Thanks Janet. Yes, I just had my kitchen "freshened" that's why I have to clean all of my cabinets and reload. They were full of sawdust from when the painter sanded the cabinets. The kitchen looks so much brighter now. The cabinets were dark.

This is the furniture we are looking at for the living room. Gary took pictures at the store, but they did not turn out. We are not getting the whole sectional(just the biggest couch section) & the color is not brown(what we want is more of a dark green). There is also a large chair that is not in the picture that goes with the ottoman that we will be getting.

This is the dining room table we have picked out. This is counter top height which will be perfect for us. The fruit decor is not included

Lovely Janet!!

So today I got up and went to the Delegate meeting. Helped clean up and then left to head to the Career Fair event. I came home and went straight to bed as I was exhausted. I got out of bed and I have a temperature of 101.4. But my throat doesn't hurt as much anymore.

I have free tickets for the Reading Phillies baseball game tomorrow. We will see if I feel up to going. I also have a final exam to prepare for and a paper to write. I also should clean a room or few. Screens came out today as it was 76, and of course I am sick. I seem to get sick when it is nice.

I am off to watch a movie, not sure what, though. I guess whatever DVD decides to jump off the shelf.

Hi Becky!!

I made it home safe and sound. It was raining (sprinkling) most of the way in the Lower Peninsula. The roads were wet but not slippery. Within 10 minutes of crossing into the U.P., the skies cleared and the roads were dry all the way home. Just wanted to stop in and let you all know I'm here.

Glad you're home safe Vicki!!!

 

[PNO4TE]

Debbie - I like your new design. I had no idea your DH had such a huge amount of brains!!!

 

[PNO4TE]

Janet - I like your new furniture choices.

Becky - Boy I hope you are not getting sick!

Vicki - thanks for letting us know you are home safe and sound.

 

[PNO4TE]

Deb - thanks for posting all the pictures. I love Nick's bedroom. I know he will too. And Colby looks so grown up! Wow!

 

[my3princes]

Yes, she totally annoys me. I can't put my finger in why though. I watched the first 1/2 hour & then I got bored. First time that has happened with a Disney how but I just couldn't take her anymore.

Elin,
Nice pictures, I was thinking about you last night when Napa Rose came on the show.

Vicki,
Safe travels home.

Kristine,
Hi!!!

Stephanie,
Hi!!!

Hugs to all, I haven't had a chance to catch up & read everything.

I got my hair done this morning ...$140 later... See why I don't get my hair done more often!?

Daniel played ball in the rain last night, they lost 4-0 & we were all soaked & cold. He has a game today but right now its Thunderstorming.
Dana took the girls to the Father/Daughter dance last night. He took no pictures.

My store is on Annex G.

Does that mean you will be out of a job?

I love the furniture. I think that sectional would look great in our living room just as it is shown

I'm glad you made it home safely. We expected rain all day, but the sun was out. Tomorrow I would love for the sun to shine then we could put furniture on the deck and sand the ceilings/walls...I'm sure it will rain.

Nick came into his room after I finished up and asked me if this "really" was his room. He says that he loves it and that it is very grown up

I had the nicest surprise tonight! Kristin called from the highway to tell me that she and two friends from school were on their way to town to take me out to dinner. So, I met them at Cheeseburger in Paradise for a wonderfully fun-filled evening. Then they just showed up on my patio because they wanted to talk some more before heading back to Richmond. What a terrific end to my day.

Vicki glad you made it home safely!

[tinknme]

How sweet! glad you were able to enjoy the evening with your daughter.

Hey, Jennifer... Dripping Springs, TX is on "Unwrapped" on the Food Network! They are featuring "Rainwater" that they call cloud juice and is bottled and sold!

never heard of it

I've been playing around drawing my own stick people, I know Paw Paw has a rather large head.

cute design
Deb - I love Nick's bedroom.

and to all

 

[my3princes]

Thanks for the comments on Nick's room. I got a little sappy tonight when I realized that most of his "kid" things are gone. He still has 2 Mickey Piggy banks and a stuffed Mickey that is actually speakers for his MP3 player. Everything else is gone His room looks so mature. The good news is that he only moved his stuffies to his closet, he wasn't totally ready to part with them yet At least Hunter's room still has the bright colors so you know it is a kid's room. Sappy...I know...

 

[MrsHeg]

Jennifer, I took the liberty of making a stick family shirt for you.

Good Morning DDA,

I have to get my taxes printed and in the mail, I don't know why I've procrastinated so long, they've been done I just haven't printed them.

Deb - I love the work you've done in the boys rooms, they look fantastic. If you ever want to take a trip south I have three rooms that are in need of an update and new flooring.

Steffy - So good to see you, PD on your new DGD arrival.

Janet - Love the new furniture!

Anne Marie - Just in case I miss you before you head out, have a Wonderful trip!

Elin - Sounds like a wonderful evening

Tammi - Glad to hear Nicholas is ok, Bob just keeps proving what a wonderful guy he really is.

Vicki - Glad to hear you made it home safely.

Elizabeth - Glad to hear the news was good about your mom. Sorry about the Diva girl issues.
