DIS Dads DDC XVIII - Spring Fever!

[wasnotafan]

Typically that means that he has more money going out of his budget (paying bills, etc) than he has coming in (salary, tips, etc). Although it is kind of rude to be nosing around in other people's financial matters.

I don't worry about identity theft. Nobody would want mine!

On a positive note even though the men's NCAA bracket is falling apart the Lady Vols and Lady Bonnies won and in the Not Invited Tournament the Vols are still playing.

Lunch time!

Busted open the Disney cookbook yesterday and whipped up a batch of Flame Tree BBQ rub and sauce. Grilled some chicken with yesterday and am finishing off the leftovers today.

This is probably where I'd say something like "Living the Dream", but I'm still sitting at my desk at work. And the chicken will be gone in 10 minutes.

But it was a fine ten minutes...

[that's nice]

That smilie might be a long lost relative of mine.....

I figured you might appreciate its application in this instance.
It may need to start making appearances in your Nemesis Challenge thread.

Ummm....

I'm sure it will show itself on that thread in due time.

So is this your way of declaring your loyalty to Team Barry, now that I've decided to join Team Tim?

I just order my DW the Kindle Fire for her birthday. Being as her main want was for a way to browse the web while watching the telle in the evening, I didn’t see the need for the additional bucks associated with the iPad. It’s also a good excuse to finally get around to installing a wireless router in the house and upgrading the rest of the gear.

LOVE my Kindle Fire. DW has been borrowing it too much lately... so I guess I have to get her one. Sounds like a Mother's Day gift to me! (She has an Iphone AND a Laptop, so I can probably get away with a 3G kindle.. i think)

Got a PIN

Got no money

and

One would hope not. What are they going to complainer about with an infant…

overly aggressive poo production?


Or is this for the five year old.

This was the 5 year old. There was a report card too! Mostly development stuff. DD got "Good" in pretty much anything and the teacher has no problems with her at all, thinks she'll do well in Kindergarten.

Well, I finally got my stitches out today.

Only 3 more weeks until I get some more!


My DD4.5 has her kindergarten testing today. She's young, but of course, we think she's a pretty smart cookie and very mature for her age.

Wish us luck!

Good Luck! Our DD goes for her screening next week!

You guys are chatty today. Must be a workday.

My DD4.5 has her kindergarten testing today. She's young, but of course, we think she's a pretty smart cookie and very mature for her age.

Wish us luck!

Its a Trap. They are not testing her but really just checking you out. Be on your best behavior.

This is the week of the big office move. The trucks will be arriving soon. I am scheduled to move next Monday, but know it will be chaos this week. I have everything packed up, except for pictures of my dds and a few other personal items that will go with me in a last box. I plan to walk over to post office to stop mail and Courthouse to pay taxes to escape the madness.

Good luck with the move Norm. Started sorting through taxes. I hate doing taxes. Math is hard. Will probably just estimate it and pay the estimate and extend it through October.

My mom has been talking for over a year about taking a trip for their anniversary. They're taking my wife and me (and the grandkids, of course), my sister and bil, and my other sister who still lives at home. We're going to be staying at Coronado Springs Dec 1 - 8.

I don't know what the code offer was. I know that mom had been looking at prices and packages and then all of a sudden Saturday she found out she could get it for a few thousand less than she thought, so she booked it. Must have been a 35% discount for a moderate, I guess. Either way, it was good for up to 3 rooms, and that's what we got. We're getting QSDP, probably do a few TS meals out of pocket and planning to go to that other park in Orlando for 1 day during the week.

I'm pretty pumped about it. This is the first time I've ever had a chance to go twice in 1 year (Dec 3, 2011 / Dec 1, 2012) so I'm excited about that. In the past is has always been 3 to 4 years between trips (or longer). Also, my parents have been saving up to take this trip for a few years and are covering the hotel/ticket/dining package expenses. We'll just have to pay for gas to get there, a hotel room coming home and our Universal tickets or any other odds and ends we need to pay for along the way.

Very cool Andy. Forget Norm adopting DD, will your mom adopt me?

I offered him some help, but he doesn't want it.

His response was, he's letting the "girls" do the planing in case something goes wrong, that way they can't blame him.

In a way, he's not wrong....

Smart man in my opinion. Maybe you should give him a cool hint and when he pulls it off, the family will think he is a star.

On a positive note even though the men's NCAA bracket is falling apart the Lady Vols and Lady Bonnies won and in the Not Invited Tournament the Vols are still playing.

My bracket is burning in hell right now but... The Gators are in the Sweet 16 after demolishing Norfolk and the Lady Gators pulled and upset in the Women's Tournament. So things could be worse.

Lunch time!

Been thinking of bringing out the grill for some chicken. Have to look and see if the recipes are on line. Love Flame Tree. Just imagine yourself by the picnic area near there overlooking the water and Everest.

This was us there when she was 14. Man has she changed.

Does your plate look like this?

 

[baseballmickey]

Good question - I dunno?

Probably the basics - letters and number recognition, basic comprehension, calculus, etc...

I thought the whole screening thing was weird too. I thought we just needed to show that she had her shots!! Now they test to see if she needs special education. At 5?? I think they all do at that age. Our school sent us a letter giving a brief overview of the types of things they are going to test her on.

[/Nemesis Mode – Off]

That’s great! I’m really glad to see your entire family get to head out on an adventure like this. Happy Planning and congrats on another Christmas at Disney!



[Nemesis Mode – On]

Blah, blah, blah… whatever…

 

[afwdwfan]

Very cool Andy. Forget Norm adopting DD, will your mom adopt me?

I'm sure we could work something out. DVC points are for family to use too, right?

 

[baseballmickey]

I tried yelling "crescendo" at my van one time, but it didn't go any faster.

you have to start at Adagio and work your way up, doing the patting along with it, or it won't work!

(oh, and your car has to actually be "Rocket")

I have a co-worker heading down to WDW this weekend.

Party of 14.

This is his first trip.

Well, that's one way to do it.

In other news: Dole Whip t-shirt, anyone?

love the shirts... to buy or not to buy???

If they could put a dole whip on one side, and bacon on the other... it would be our new official shirt!!

 

[afwdwfan]

Well, technically, Barry's van is a rocket.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Naaaaa…
I’m still neutral. Heck, I ain’t getting my @$$ out there and running a marathon, so who am I to pick one over the other. As you started out to do, I’ll just harass ‘em both as I see fit.


Besides, I was using the “smiley” in question in a response to Barry, it just happened to suit Tim as well in a different way.

As for you joining Team-Tim…
I have no dog in the cause of that fight either. I even defended you to Barry about the Purdon’t comment earning him your wrath in the first place (to which he rightly point out: “hay, it was funny”, and you never cut funny).

Now as to just why I was defending my nemesis in the first place...
that one I can’t answer.

I’ll chalk it up to a momentary lapse of reason.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Sound like she must have as good a grasp on theoretical physics as the rest of the little Einsteins apparently do. Congrats!

Well, technically, Barry's van is a rocket.

I think it might be more a “delusional” then “technical” belief, but since we’ve all accepted it as gospel, I guess the description can be applied.

Very good. And funny.

That's great news! Congrats!




Classic!



Been great weather to get out and play some ball.



My DD would LOVE to go there. I think she has watched every single episode that's on Netflix. She turned to me and DW last week and claimed that she knows what she wants to be when she grows up... a PICKER!


I know that feeling. Got an email from Southwest for 25% off... couldn't use it either.

It was fun but mike , frank and danielle were not there but it was nice looking thru the shop !

Just long enough to open up a bunch of credit cards. Banks won't loan to people because they are too risky, but they'll give out credit cards without verification.

Lunch time!

Busted open the Disney cookbook yesterday and whipped up a batch of Flame Tree BBQ rub and sauce. Grilled some chicken with yesterday and am finishing off the leftovers today.

Tim ruining to the pizza place. You eating BBQ chicken. Good to see you both training so hard.

I got DW for her birthday. I really liked it. But, then I got my iPad. I ended up going with the gen 1 because it was $300. So, the kindle was not quite a $100 less. Of the two, I prefer my iPad over her kindle. But, I use this more for web browsing where she likes the e reader feature more. The keyboard on the kindle is not as good as the iPad.

In a way, he's not wrong....

So, is he one who plans on something going wrong? We had no plan in honeymoon, DW planned first trip with children, and then I took over from there.

I'm pretty pumped about it. This is the first time I've ever had a chance to go twice in 1 year (Dec 3, 2011 / Dec 1, 2012) so I'm excited about that. In the past is has always been 3 to 4 years between trips (or longer). Also, my parents have been saving up to take this trip for a few years and are covering the hotel/ticket/dining package expenses. We'll just have to pay for gas to get there, a hotel room coming home and our Universal tickets or any other odds and ends we need to pay for along the way.

It's pretty cool. We've done two trips a year for past 3 years. It was great. This year, we're trying Disney HHI Resort instead. I like trying something new, but hope I won't be regretting not making the 2nd trip home. Maybe there's a way I can talk her into a summer trip? But, With that new DVC contract and cruise next year, I know that's not in the budget.

30% off at select hotels 5/24-8/14 or free dining with purchase of 5 night 6 day magic your way package.

How many in your household? Maybe we can commute and split gas. Forget that previous post about the budget.
