Taking the girls to see this little non advertised indie movie called Brave tonight, anyone else heard of it? :lmao:

Good Morning David! Got to meet Merida while I was in DL.

Good Day Men!

Morning all....nearing the end of the end of a busy week. Heading to Sarnia tonight for a little R&R after work. Things should be winding down soon, one week of school left :woohoo:

Must be some indie film, hope the word-of-mouth is good.

We plan to see it next Friday, right after school/work, as a "passed the year" thing. It'll be Audrey's first time in the theater. :scared: We already picked them up Merida dolls from the Disney Store yesterday to surprise them with after the show.
 

Very Adorable... Hopefully she learnt that hard work, perseverance and dedication pays off.

Now off to Grade 1.

:thumbsup2

Hell, only off to JK, slow it down there :lmao: I hope she's learned that too, I really really do :lmao:

At least she'll be in the same school as her sister now, that will help things out. Make it simpler for pick-ups/drop offs too.
 
Audrey graduated from her daycare today....so proud of her...


Great time was had by all. Best of all the storm held off till it was over, which was good, it turned out to be a doozy. :thumbsup2


Congrats to Audrey! Those are some great pictures.



Morning Gents! Happy Friday.

Didn't know people went to Sarnia for R&R. ;) :rotfl2:
 
Hopefully thell figure it out before some parents ruin it.

One of the man jerk leader has a 10 year old, so little hope. At this point, I'm hoping my youngest can make it thru while the program is intact. She lead the rec league in scoring last season (20 goals), but she doesn't want to practice.

Whoop there it is. NBA Champs.

A great way to close it out. Who would have guessed Miller would hit 7 threes? What are the haters saying now - LeBron only has one ring so he's not as good as Steve Kerr and Derek Fisher.

Random observation for the day (as I relaxed in front of the TV) - it's amazing how sometimes a single drink (in this case, a gin & tonic) can arrive in multiple glasses. ;)

Never got into gin much, although I do like the sloe gin fizz. My single drinks stay in one glass; however, the liquor level appears to fall and rise in that same glass mysteriously. Must be some pirate magic.

I don't think the position comes with an assistant. But if it does, I'll recommend you. :thumbsup2

Great. I can handle it.

Is that Braveheart? What movie are you referring to?
 
Peanut Butter and Beverly! I'm really getting fed up with the ADR process and Disney dining. I tried making ADR's at my 180 day window and had some issues. I finally got all of them that I wanted except Le Cellier, which they weren't booking yet. I was told to watch the Disney blog for when those ADRs would open up. I saw last week, they posted that the EPCOT restaurants that offer CP packages would open up their ADR's on 6/24.

Last night I get a text from my mom telling me she heard that they are doing ADR's for Le Cellier now. :confused3 I get online and look and there are some available for dinner and there was 1 2:05 lunch available the week we are there, but on a day that doesn't work. I'm :furious:. I played by their rules and planned everything over 180 days out and then got screwed by their system.

That is all


Happy Friday.

That stinks.... Keep trying often, you never know when a cancellation will happen, and a table becomes available.
 
Whoop there it is. NBA Champs.

I’ll say Congrats to the fans of the Heat and the city of Miami.
I think I’ll stop there though.

And you should be.
Congrats to Audrey (and to her proud parents)

I’ve heard something about this obscure bit of cinema. May have to look into it.

Yah for Friday… Half a day at work, half a day getting things organized and when the DW gets home...
we’re off for a mini trip/adventure/simi-vacation.
I need the change in scenery.


Good Morning David! Got to meet Merida while I was in DL.

Good Day Men!

It’s my job to give you a hard time, but…
I’d be just as :furious:.

I play by the rules about 95% of the time, and get screwed by those that don’t about 65% of the time.

What comes around… dosen’t go around…
And that is even more frustrating. :sad2:

Yup. The sad thing is how to incorporate that into your parenting. My mom taught me that hard work in life pays off. I'm not sure how old I was when I realized that was a complete lie and it all came crashing down. Do you lie to your kids and give them false hope? Or, do you tell them the truth that life is mostly about who you know and how pretty you are?

I've got a curly haired redhead who is really looking forward to this. The problem is she spooks easy. She doesn't like Beauty and the beat or Little Mermaid. I'll try and hold her off until I know how scary it is.

Well done Audrey. Those were some cute photos. :thumbsup2

Yep, that’s a tough one.
Rule-3 in our house states: Life’s not fair (and mom & dad can’t fix that).

If were I smart, I’d have taught my young’en to be a selfish monster.
But I just couldn’t do it, so I taught him resilience instead (mostly by example).
 
Morning, dads

@Andy - that stinks. Hopefully an ADR at Le Cellier opens up for you. If not, just wait outside, and make conversation with someone who looks lost. Get their name (and the time of their ADR), and then send them off to the movie while you go inside. ;)

@BigTikiDaddy - congrats to Audrey! Those are some great pics.

@Norm - Gin drinks are mainly a summer thing for me. (Not sure why, actually.) Anyway, yeah, pirate magic is surely responsible for that glass magically refilling itself.

That's a tough one. I tell them that they need to try hard, and work at things, and that it generally pays off in the end. But, on the other hand, I have let them know that life is not fair, and we are very fortunate to not have the short end of the stick in a lot of ways.
