Having a GRAND time - The Official GF Chat Thread PART 2

I know I am so glad we got that for you. You guys are going to love it.

I don't know a whole lot about it and can't give you a review as I have never done it so if its a bomb don't blame me

This is how I looked at it, the line for the killo. safari can be well over an hour long... in the hot june sun its a quick 5 minute ride ...maybe shorter as I never timed it. They don't stop so you can take pics and you stay on a certain path and what animals are on the path are the ones you see. I figured sitting in an air conditioned bus for an hour to see animals sure beats standing in the hot sun for an hour
Savannah LOVES animals and I know she will get a kick out of it. I am not sure about your toddler... maybe pack him some quiet things to do in your diaper bag before hand .. just in case!

Lesley - Honestly I kept telling myself that I knew your children, but it was impossible. I have seen those pictures!!!

I love everyone's pictures, but it took my 1 hour to catch up from yesterday!!!

I was very good friends with my DHs older brother for years. I really didn't know his younger brother, I just knew of him. I was dating a musician for years, he did a lot of studio music for famous people and he played all over NYC for famous people too. I took the Disney cruise with a half a dozen friends and my now DH came (not the musician - too busy).

I always worried about life not changing with the musician and the drugs and alcohol thing was over the top. It was a MUST, famous people hate for you to say NO! So anyway, I finally meet the younger brother and we just hit it off, he's 1 1/2 years younger and has never let me forget it. It was the best decision that have ever made. BTW the musician got a girl pregnant 1 month after we broke up, she was about 18 - 19 (a groupie), he married her, got a great job in the city and now they have 3 girls. So I guess everything turned out well for everyone.

Musician HATES WDW!!!!! DH LOVES IT!!!

yup I couldn't be happier with everything you helped me with for both trips
it is great having you right there.... within phone reach to make the magic happen

I can't tell you enough how magical our Feb trip was for the entire family! It was so much more relaxed than when we had done Disney before... I would always get stressed out but NOPE NO MORE I get the special special treatment now

I, too, dated a bad boy and married him at age 24. That only lasted three years. I would really regret it, if I didn't feel that life lesson helped pave the way to my wonderful husband. My best friend introduced me to my DH on my birthday. I was down after going through the divorce, and she invited me out with a group of her friends/co-workers. What a great birthday present that was!

DH and I have been married for 11 years. We never get to get away for our anniversary the bad thing about having a Christmas wedding when you got kids!!!!

 

[Alicnwondrln]

garden grocer is great. I have used them several times and tell people about them all the time. They have some nice discounts to.

If it were just drinks, I wouldn't do it but we need diapers and swim diapers and all that "fun" stuff!

Good Morning Ladies!

Tete~ great story!
Lesley~ but did you join the mile high club?
:

Good gravy Brook! I can't believe you asked that! well at least you kept it low key until a few pages into this thing

You bet I did! Many times!

Even *gulp* when I was actually working a flight!!!!! They don't call em cockpits for nothing!!!

That was funny but also scares the crap out of me! I have fears of flying and you just gave me a while new reason to not trust pilots....

My boys are talking about mother's day in the next room and they don't know I can hear...
Ryan: what are you getting mom for mothers day?
Donovan: not sure i haven't decided yet
Ryan: well it is this weekend you better think of something
Donovan: I guess I can get dad to take me to walmart tonight
Ryan: our mom? walmart? your kidding right?
Donovan: She doesn't care what I get her as long as it comes from the heart...
Ryan: Have you ever met our mother?


I love easedropping.. they are hysterical sometimes

So last night we were watching tv and I mentioned to DH that there were a ton of Mothers day comercials on and that if someone forgat they were helpless..... He said oh I was wondering what kind of panties are those you like so much from VS ::Crickets......:: I told him what type they were and then said I prefer to buy my own underwear..... WTH! I flat out told him I wanted to start building a Pandora bracelet and told my sister to flat out tell him what I wanted. How could he not get it

I was a wild girl in my flight attendant days.... now, not so much!

Your pregnant with your 4th child....... Yea, you've really calmed down

The rest is history. We are so much in love and I am so glad we found eachother. My husband always says our life is like the song from Garth Brooks "Unanswered Prayers."

I like that one and 'God bless the broken road'.

 

[praline3001]

Oh please mandy don't even pretend to play sweet and innocent!!! you know you were thinking the same dang thing

I will be doing the Wildlife Discovery Excursion next Saturday (the 17th) and I will let you all know if it is worth it. I believe you have to be 3 in order to do it though...

[mandymommy4]

Brook thinking something and asking it are two different things

 

[mandymommy4]

Yeah my diaper days are over
my diaper bag days are over
my stroller days are over

DD2 is totally done with diapers ( except night time) She came and told me yesturday every time she had to go pee pee and poop. I took her to the potty and every time she did her business. Am I supper mom or what She potty trained herself and just let's us know I am so in love with her I even blogged about it!

Edit to add she was in panties all day, so cute!

 

[praline3001]

I found my daughter was soooo much easier to potty train than my boys! I have heard girls are easier as they dont like the dirty factor and they like cute little panties... boys could care less..well at least my boys

Please let us know how it goes! I have been curious over it... never heard about it before. As i said, she loves the animals so I took a guess she would get a kick out of it.
