Looking For Control Freaks & Worry Warts - We're still here!

[MickeyMomOfThree]

Hope everyoone had a noce night. We had under 150 kids which was surprising since it wass a beautiful night.
My camera is not fixable, it's a bummer because last year I dropped my camera. I was so mad at myself. but the screen cracked and to repair it was more then to replace it. So, we replaced it and I have been sooooo good about always putting it in the case. My husband took it out of the case and noticed where the break was. It was perfectly lined up with a snap (so you can snap it to a belt) on the case, so the case actually broke my camera!!! So, what do you do? We've spent thousands ppn this trip, waht a bit more to replace the camera I guess. So, we are ordering it today and then I am going to go get a really good (snap freee) case for it.

Today I am starting to get ready for our trip (now that Halloween is over). My first stop is cleaning out my car and removing the extra seat. I need to do this anyway because I have to pick up all the cookies my troop sold next weekend. Plus, today will still be a bit warmer, but that is supposed to be changing. Tomorrow I will probably start packing. We leave in 19 days so it is coming fast.

The surprise stay at DLP was fun to hear, and you thought you were the one doing the surprise. The Marie hat is cute.

Have a good day everyone. DH is going to take the kids toHome Depot for Kids workshop so I can get some stuff done, but if I need a break I might stop back.

Happy November....

too cool! Ahh to live so close. I love the tunnel. That looks like one heckva thing. Granted I've never left the united states.

Yes i had never been on the tunnel before but i have to say it was so quick, much quicker than the ferry and a lot less choppy hahahhaa

Erin, what fun!!! Looks like you had a wonderful weekend! I'm so glad you kept the "cat in the bag" so DD was surprised!

I know i can't believe i kept the secret especially after completely blowing the 1 about going to WDW for her b'day

The surprise stay at DLP was fun to hear, and you thought you were the one doing the surprise. The Marie hat is cute.

Thanks, yes we had a great time and yes i had a big surprise too always fun .. The Marie hat was cute and also very necessary it was freezing on the thursday, it snowed in England whilst we were away but France just froze

photo time...then off to a day of girl scout training.

Laura i can't see your pics they're just little red crosses?????

Had a blast last night!

We loaded up the golf cart with a cooler, then met two other carloads of folks and all dove up to one of the more populated sections of our neighborhood. We're way in the back and there are only about 10 houses in a big section back here, so we drove to the front of the neighborhood.

PUlled into the area and a lot of other people were doing the same thing. Cars along the entrance and kids EVERYWHERE!!!! I drove the cart with my neighbor riding with me, and Jeff and the other parents walked with the kids.

We had a really fun time. Then when we finished up with that, everyone came to our house and we sat outside and continued our little Halloween party. Then another neighbor stopped over.... so we ended up with a nice little shindig going on. The kids played upstairs, eating WAAAAAY too much candy of course.

Oh, and did I mention that Jeff and I dressed up???? We had a little Freaky Friday role reversal! it was Ally's idea, but she didn't know we were actually gonna do it.

Every time someone looked at me they said I reminded them of Ellen DeGeneres. And they just whistled at Jeff. Then a police cruiser was driving through the neighborhood, too, giving candy to the kids, and he looked Jeff up and down, and I said, "You're not vice, are you?" And a good time was had by all!

I'm having camera issues too. Jeff got me a great camera for Christmas last year and I love it! Except that when I use the flash the photos look grainy. Like these. I think it's operator error in my case though!

Glad everyone had a good time! Hey, where is Pam these days?????

 

[DizzyErin]

Hate to bring a downer but i really need somewhere to vent this too and thought you all wouldn't mind

Longish story but i'll break it down

My friend who i have know all my life (literally 32 years) got engaged recently, i was over the moon happy for her and couldn't wait for the wedding. She text me about a month ago saying they had a date for the wedding, when she told me i almost died, the date she had picked Chloe and I would be in Oklahoma, so i cried lots and lots and lots and told her what had happened, she couldn't believe it, so the very next day i get in touch with the people i booked my flight with to see if by any chance i could change my flights, my luck was in they managed to change my flights unfortunately with a cost of £350 but she was worth it, i could not imagine being anywhere else on that day!! So i messaged her the good news and she was sooo pleased!! I recieve the invite saying, very low key, registry office not church, not many people, not formal etc etc, they're both a little off the wall so that was all good, they were hiring a big cottage to hold the reception in and was gonna be a small event, sounded lovely and i was sooo excited. Then a couple of weeks ago she messages me to say the venue had cancelled so hold off on making plans of somewhere to stay and she'd keep me posted, again that was ok we just held off on making plans.

So i'm in Paris on thursday night and i get a text through from her saying that the venue had cancelled and they were struggling to find somewhere else to accommadate the people they had invited, so unfortunately they were now making the wedding to family ONLY so yes i was uninvited ... I am so very upset i cannot believe that she did that, i understand money is tight etc etc but i would have paid for myself and Chloe, for goodness sake i paid £350 to be there already!!! I am sooooo mad and so upset that i just don't know what to message back as a reply


Ok vent over, sorry such a long post but needed to get that out of my system thanks for listening

 

[Debbie6221]

Hi Ladies..
Glad you all had such FUN Halloweens!!! Love the pix (couldn't see yours yet Laura) and I loved all the fun stuff you guys did. We had a blast too. It was unseasonably warm and just heavenly. I kept saying that the kids didn't know how good they had it considering we pretty much were in parkas when we trick or treated. Hopefully I can post some pix later.

Kara...Jeff was the scariest of all!

Erin glad Paris was so fun. Sorry about your wedding dilemma. I would have been pissed too! Really pissed! So I understand!


Bye for now!

 

[Debbie6221]

Don't we put the clocks back tonight.......

 

[Debbie6221]

Kara...with that eye shadow did Jeff want to be an 80's women???

Laura...saw your album... VERY cute!!!!

 

[DizzyErin]

Erin glad Paris was so fun. Sorry about your wedding dilemma. I would have been pissed too! Really pissed! So I understand!


Bye for now!

Don't we put the clocks back tonight.......

Our clocks went back last weekend .. so is all dark earlier now ggrrrr!!!

Thanks Debbie i just don't know what to say to her ... I am really pissed but also really sad too

 

[Debbie6221]

Exactly....maybe for now you just need to let some time pass to cool down.

Notice how I am not cleaning yet!

 

[DizzyErin]

Yes thats very true .. just wish i knew what to say when i do cool down you know

Oh no leave the cleaning yuck yuck yuck

 

[Debbie6221]

Hopefully she's SUPER apologetic and you will say something like ...you had to do what you had to do.....

 

[DizzyErin]

Yeh hopefully .. just glad i didn't cancel my trip all together or i'd be doubly pissed believe me

 

[Debbie6221]

Yeah hopefully .. just glad i didn't cancel my trip all together or I'd be doubly pissed believe me

OMG I know...I thought originally you were going to say that she changed the date back so that you were going to have to change your tix again!

 

[CRdisMom]

erin im sorry to hear that your friend has caused so much ruckus in your life.

Hopefully y'all will be able to see the photos now

 

[MickeyMomOfThree]

The wedding thing is quite annoying, glad you didn't cancel all together and enjoy that trip!

The photos are very cute, all of them are that you all have posted. Cute butterfly, cute puppy dog, cute all around... And what a beautiful princess at that royal halloween pool party.

 

[soontobewed07]

I would be very upset with your friend if she is your friend you should be able to express that. My best friend is like a sister and as so I would expect to be invited to a family only event.

Sounds like everyone had a great halloween.

Kara- Love the pics of you and Jeff too darn cute!!! Just love the Halloween pool party

Laura- Those blond babies are just so darn cute.

Here are a few of Badookie it was a late night he didn't get to bed until 10pm but he had a blast!


First Trick or treat

Showing off his Loot

Lunch Today

 

[karajeboo]

Jillian - how cute!!!! I love his expression in the lunch pic - is he always so happy???? Just wanna squeeze him!

Erin - I would be very pissed too! I wouldn't respond at all right now. After all, it's not like you have to RSVP to being "un"invited, so I'd just let it ride for now. I'm sure she wasn't intentionally trying to hurt you, and no doubt she completely forgot about you changing your plans for her, but still. It was a bit unthoughtful on her part, if ya ask me.

Laura - Love the girls pics too! I think Katherine looks like the pouty cow - too cute!

Cammie - I wanna see pics of the Jonas Bros!

Debbie? Pics????

Yeah, our little impromptu party after trick or treat left me feeling not so perky yesterday.

Obviously didn't make it to Disney yesterday - we just had too much to do around the house. Actually got a lot done, too.

 

[soontobewed07]

Kara- No Luca is not always so happy he is a little monster most days, but what almost 2 year old isn't??? We squeeze him all of the time. He now hugs us which melts my heart!

Today is our lazy day! It is just me and Luca as Mike is working. I am going to clean out his playroom and the office. I will let Mike mop the floors. We always have Sunday dinner with my Parents since they are only 2 blocks away. So today it is a nice pork roast w/ green beans mashed taters and pearl onions. YUM!

I got an early Birthday present from Mike I am sure he is feeling guilty about the other things going on. He said he had it planned for a while. It is a 3 stone diamond ring and I LOVE it. I wish he had kept it until my birthday (dec.) but sweet.

Hope everyone else is doing well today

Are we still planning a dismeet for Sept? I just need to start getting money saved up. Let me know.

 

[MickeyMomOfThree]

Thank You for the Turkey!!! So cute and reminds me of where we will be for Turkey Day! (Not that I need reminding!!!)

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!!!
