247 is my number......

I would LOVE to see the photopass scrapbook pages. I didn't know you had to pay for extra pages and I so know that SIL will not want to do that. Why do I even bother??? :sad2:

If I remember right, you get 20 pages, then each additional page is more $$

NOW, if I remember right, it was $69 or so $79? You can do the same thing through Walgreens, Ritz, Kodak, Snapfish, etc. for around $19. Same concept, a 20 page book without all the Disney clipart, but still a book for $19 I think. That might be an option?:confused3
 
My Guess is 549

I have never had the time to scrapbook and I am not very artistic. I am going to make a t shirt for DS's 1st birthday for me DH and DS. We will see how that goes.

Hope everyone is having a good day. DS has been in his crib for 1hr and still wont nap. I hate leaving him there,but the DR. says if he is not crying leave him there. I am not sure I am agreeing with this. Any suggestions?
 
As for the movie, Thanks so much, but I would like to leave it for those with little ones, too. DGS has a copy already here. Thanks so much! Mostly, I want to thank you for putting the positive energy out there and reminding us to RAK whereever we go!!!!! I think alot of you are much nicer than I am - the only thing I can remember is giving someone my place in line at the grocery store, and picking up and hanging up some shirts that fell on the floor at the store.

Well, I KNOW of some of your random acts of kindness - so please don't sell yourself short!;)

And, I too, would love to see pictures of the photopass scrapbook. Maybe that's what I'll do for my June trip!

Ok - off to get my ****ies squished!:scared:
 

Cammie - good luck with the squisher! Anything fun afterwards - you need a treat for sure!

Cammie & Tammie - out

Anyone else having issues with the weightloss ticker? I can't get mine to update. Today is the first time I've tried. I weighed this morning and GAINED almost 5 lbs :sad1:

Maybe you can only lose, not gain - it doesn't count, kind of like if you eat standing up it doesn't count! :goodvibes
 
Okay, here are my scrapbook posts - I had some of these rotated, and then they are turned around again - sorry.

You get to customize two lines on the lower right corner:

Sorry some of these are blurry, but you get to choose your background for each page, then the characters you want, then the layout - so you can have 1-4 pics on each page, depending what you want to do. You can journal a little, but mostly just room for a phrase or two. You also get to fill in some of the pics owned by Disney which are on the photopass site for sale - like Minnie here, and I'm not sure if I posted it, but I have a good night pic of the castle and fireworks in the book, cuz mine didn't turn out well.

Thanks for sharing! Very cute! Yep, the lack of journaling space was my issue, but I would have probably splurged for this otherwise!

Don't they also have "standard" photos to throw in to? Like different pics, characters and landmarks? For some reason, I thought that was an option too.

Good job Tammie - looks great!!!
 
Thanks! Yes, I edited in about those Disney owned pics while you were posting your comments - great minds think alike! ;)
 
Okay, here are my scrapbook posts - .

Oh, and I wanted to add this for you non-scrapbookers who have thought of dabling into it for your Disney albums... It can get very pricey, very quickly. When you buy your album for $15-$20, papers at around $0.5-$1 a sheet, little Disney charms for the papers that are generally around $4 each, you can see that $70 isn't really that expensive compared to what you may be out trying to do it "cheaper" yourself.
 
Hi Girls,

Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well!:surfweb:
Hi pal! Glad you are still stopping by!

I'm home! Plane landed at 6:30 pm. Camera has 350+ pix on it and photo pass has 74 unedited. I'm going to be busy.
First Renee I'm glad to see that you still with us. DH had tv on last night and they were showing the storms. At first glance I thought they hit you.
The random acts of kindness--I nominate Cammie for sending a beautiful ress to my DD. :)
I will get my trip report set up soon. Oh the laundry piles await....

Glad you are back! Can't wait for more. Love the monorail pix!! So cool!

So DH just dropped his buddy and family off at the airport for their Disney vacation. He calls me on the way home and says, "I want to go on an airplane. I want to go on vacation." SORRY! We're still paying off the last vacation and haven't even started saving for the next one. He's not going to trick me into planning another vacation to Disney even though he knows how badly I want to go everyday!
How is it going with work ending??? Hope all is well!

See you all are such lovely ladies for doing nice things for everyone! I got some nice ideas of things to do for others from you too. I love the idea of helping with yard work Tessa. That is always such a chore! We like to do unexpected things to help other people out too. We had our roof redone last year and we ordered all 15 guys pizza and drinks for lunch. They were so excited (after they got through being skeptical at first). I gave an offer of help to a 37 week pregnant woman to do her errands, or let her son come to play at our house. I didn't start a fight with my mom, even though I should have...:rolleyes1
Get this, we bought a new grill to replace our old one. Well my mom calls the morning before she is to watch the kids that night and TELLS me that she is coming to pick up the grill. She knew I wouldn't say no since she wouldn't watch the kids that night if I did. Granted, I would have given it to her anyway, but I HATED her method.
One other thing I did once was take a whole sack of DS shoes - He wears a 2 now, so it was like infant 4's through size 12 and it was a BIG birthday bag full. I took it in and handed it to a mom at DS school that had a 3rd unexpected boy after she had gotten rid of all the kid stuff.
Like most of you, I just really enjoy helping other people and knowing in some way I made their day better.
SO...

Kara
Tessa
Cammie
Laura
Tina
Jillian
Tammie
Erin (I'm putting her in since she is at DLP!)

Pick a number, one to 1000 and we will get a winner for the MOnsters INC DVD! Tessa - if you don't mind, being our other gal from across the pond, you get to pick a number for Erin too.

Good luck everyone!

DD is getting into BARNEY. Ehhhh. I SO dislike Barney. Of course she is going to love him....
Of course!
You know who else bugs me...Caiou, Doodle Bops (kind of) and Teletubbies!
I know some people are anti WIGGLES but I love the guys!!!

OK I am going to go with 437!
You are so sweet to do this whole little thing. Very nice! Makes me want to be nicer!


Cammie...good luck today. Reminds me I have to make my follow up appointment for June. I actually have to call the dentist too. Yuck!

Have a great day girls.

I will be back!
 
Tammie love your scrap book and Cammie I resent you the email...
Anyone else not get my stuff just let me know!
 
here is another option for the pictures. I got this link off of babycenter.com. I have never used it but I plan on looking into it.

Still recovering from getting home last night. Tonight is photo editing night. DH says he will help me get my website up and running. Hopefully that will be easier than doing photobucket.
 
What a day!!! I've spent literally about 8 hours editing photopass since yesterday! We ended with just over 750 photos! Woo hoo! :banana: Then SIL found the photobook and I've been tinkering with that, uploading some of my own photos (we took 450 pics ourselves!!!) and it looks really nice! Now let's see what she has to say about it...... She put pics in there of just her and DH where I put in a bunch of the kids. Sorry, this trip was not about me and DH, it was about the grandparents and kids this time. Not that SIL and BIL would know - they just used them as nannies - DH and I about lost it a couple of times! Calm down, Kara - deeeeeeep breaths......

OH, I can tell she's ticked off now. I removed a family photo that she put in, because my husband (her brother, the son of the people paying for the trip!) was covered up by someone else. I put in one where their baby was sleeping in the stroller, and she just emailed and said that wouldn't work because the baby couldn't be seen. Yes, he is there, just asleep! This could get fun now.....:scared1:

OK, the big blowup of the week happened on our last day. It started out with her yelling at her DH all morning. Who knows why, but they basically waited to pack up their car right when we all were ready to head to the bus. Very poor planners, and so inconsiderate of everyone else in our group. Actually, MIL and FIL were fine the whole trip. Just SIL and even BIL which I didn't expect.

Anyway, we had a couple of issues throughout the week. Like they told us they were going to MK on one day, DH, Dd and I went to Epcot (of course!), MIL and FIL left early to go to MK, hoping to meet SIL and BIL. Well, we were getting off Test Track and we see BIL sitting there with the baby. They didn't bother to call anyone and tell us where they were, and MIL and FIL are at MK to meet them!!!!

DH is so mad he doesn't even want to hang with them (thankfully!) so we leave. Get a call a couple of hours later from MIL who says they're on their way to Epcot, and then SIL apparently called MIL to tell her to call us and have everyone meet them in Mexico where they are getting ready to order lunch. No problem, right? WRONG!!! We are at the American pavillion, and start to head back to the WS entrance by Mexico, assuming they are eating at the cantina there. No. We get there, and FIL is about to explode he is so mad. SIL, BIL, and nephew are inside San Angel Inn and haven't even ordered yet!!!! So we now rushed to meet them and have an hour to kill. AND they gave the baby to MIL and FIL cause he was fussy! WTH???? I swear, I'm not making any of this up! BIL said he "screwed up" and thought that was counter service, but DH told me that BIL was mad we weren't eating there..... so it was intentional. I could care less where they eat - it was out of pocket for them. But to call and tell us to come and meet them and then pull that?

There were many issues along those lines, but the big blowup came Saturday morning. DH called his cousin (actually it's MIL's cousin) who lives in Orlando (my US hookup!). They haven't seen these folks since they came to SIL's wedding 8 or 9 years ago. We had all agreed to head to their house around 3ish on our last day for a cookout. DH is on the phone telling his cousin that we're planning to leave the park between 2-2:30. SIL spins around and says, "I thought we weren't leaving until 3! - When did the plans change and why wasn't I told?" DH and MIL tried to talk to her and she blew up (right in line for Peter Pan! I was so embarassed to hear an adult behave this way!) and said that they weren't going to go - because "this is it for DS - WE can't come back whenever we want." Hmmmm, nice slap in OUR face, huh? Apparently we just road trip to Disney every weekend. Then MIL said that was fine and we'd apologize for her. Holy Cow - then she screamed that there was no reason to apologize for her - she wasn't doing anything wrong..... It got ugly. In the end, they went with us, but they drug their feet so we didn't leave the park until 3:00. Then we get back to POP to get our car, and SIL and BIL decide to go inside and use up snack credits!!!!! AND SIL had to pick up a package in the gift shop. Now why in the heck didn't she get her package that morning when MIL and I walked over and got ours? Oh, that's right, CAUSE SHE WAS STILL ASLEEP!!!!!!!

So we waited in the parking lot for them for nearly 1/2 hour. That was just her way of "winning." She's such a witch with a capital "B."

OK, see this look? It's what we got most of the week if we didn't agree with her on something.....

Which is what led to this....

OK, since I've beenplaying all day, I still haven't even showered - and it's 2:30!!! DD will be home soon! Gotta run!
 
Okay Kara, I give. Why did they go? To leave DS with the grandparents the whole time:confused3 Seriously, if they wanted to go with a group, you go with a group and participate in things as a group. If not, you decline, and go on your own. And that look of hers in the photo. I'd need a beer bigger than that one sister! :lmao:
