Hey, it IS pretty quiet on here today! I guess everyone is actually busy doing real life stuff! I suppose I should too! Need to catch up on the chores I have been neglecting ! Be back later!

I wanted the HM but I didn't see it. That is DH & DD favorite ride. Not so much for me or DS. Get sick thinking about it. Although it is the only ride picture that Chuck bought last year. But only because I look like a total moron in it screaming eyes shut hands on my head.

Okay - why are we so quiet today? Did I put the brakes on something? Sorry if I did. You can tell me to go away.

I don't know about everyone else but I've been too busy wiping runny noses all day to be on here And of course as I type this- nap time has come to an end. So much for a few minutes to relax!

Good afternoon Snowbirds!

I've been busy totaling and counting money for our PTO fundraiser all day. Been there since 8:00am and just got home (almost 2pm) and I have to go do it all over again tomorrow!

Now I will go back and try to catch up on the last 5 pages.

I'm here! It was a crazy day! I never did get my in! UGH! 4 hours of Arabic, immediately followed by school runs, lunch making, a meeting across town, a violin lesson, supper, showers, and bedtime. Scot's reading to the little munchkins now. Ahhhhh. Finally, quiet. I do have Arabic homework. Blech. And other work. Blech. Why can't I play online all day?

Hope my Snowbird Peeps are well out their in cyberland!!!

There must be a lot of money to take 2 days to count!

Thank you Shelly for the link for the camera. My interest is piqued and I must find one! I hope I can find one here in Ontario. I thought I saw one at the store I work but thought it was just a plain over priced camera due to Hannah's face on it. Little did I know. I may have to go back to work just to check it out. I usually have the rule of not going back once I am done but I will have to break it for a special camera. If not I am off to Wal-Mart. I think that sounds like a great starter camera. My DD is 9 and it would be right up her alley. Thank you for the website link. If I can't find it up here, I will send it with the Grandparents who are true snowbirds and see if they can find it. They winter near West Palm Beach so they might find it in their travels.

You're welcome! I hope you can find one!

One quick question- do you earn the reward dollars when you charge or are they issued when you pay the balance. We may put the vacation on the card for the points and to take advantage of the 6 months zero interest but may not have it all paid off til tax refund time, depends on how my hubby's business goes this winter. So would I have the reward points if it isn't paid off fully?

I think you earn them when you charge.

I tried to do this yesterday, but my attic was too darn hot.
I am in the same boat. My kids dont know we have booked a trip to wdw.
I hope they dont found out either. DS is always clueless, but DD is so in tune.
Are you planning on wearing winter jacket to the airport? I am like what will I do with it when we get to Fla.?

I have been thinking about that too (the winter coat thing). I think we might just dress in a bunch of layers, unless it is really freezing out then we would have to wear the winter coats and look ridiculous when we get to Florida!

Okay!

So here I am!

Finally!

My evening was unexpectedly railroaded by yet another trip to the ER! This time not for me! While at school today my DD5 had a little fall and bumped her chin on the play equipment outside at lunch time. The teacher didn't think it was too bad, put a band aid on it and called it good. When I picked her up at the end of the day she told me about it and I looked at it and it didn't look that bad so I let it go. Well, at swimming, half way through her lesson, the lifeguard pulls her out of the water because her cut is open and bleeding quite freely! He calls me into the first aid room and tells me I should take her to the ER and have a docter look at it! Okey Dokey! So we wait 10 mins for DD7 to finish her lesson and then go home, grab DD5's health card, DH (whom I had called on the cell on the way home) had a bag all ready with toys and snacks and we were off! Too make a very long story really short, we waited and waited, finally saw a Doctor, she got 3 stitches and we arrived back at home before 9pm! We left the house @ 530! I AM EXHAUSTED! I needed to vent and I knew I could get some love from my snowbird peeps! Well, I am now off to bed! As peaches would say - Catch ya on the flipside!

OMG I am so sorry you and your DD had to go through that. I know trips to the ER are the worst! Hope she is feeling better.

There must be a lot of money to take 2 days to count!

Yes, too much!

Hi Glo! WELCOME to the Snowbirds!

Several of us are already in a photopass share, but there are still some that have interest in starting one. That's why I directed you here! Hopefully you can all work something out!

If you all decide to do this you can let me know and I can get it all set up on the January Photopass Share thread. You would just need someone who is willing to take the "Lead" position (collecting money, preordering the CD, copying the CD's, mailing, etc.) and about 5-7 people to join in.

Thank goodness you ladies weren't as talkative as usual! Only about 3 pages to catch up on. I had to work til 2:30 today then go to my DD's school for a room parent meeting. Now, I have to get dinner together and then go to my parents house to help tie ribbons around the favors for my sister's wedding! Ah!

Sharon- I will read up on the Grand Gatherings events and probably send you a PM sometime tonight. I would LOVE to be including on that.

 

[Momof2Disneyboys]

WOW quiet afternoon in here today. . . That's unusual!

I will talk to you Snowbirds tomorrow after I get back from counting more fundraising money!

Have a good night everyone!
