MagicBands + Margaritas + Muggles + Minions = TRP. New TR link is up! 10/31

Have a great trip to DLR, sounds like fun.
I will be at WDW in May too, quick 3 night stay at SSR. I'm say hi if I run into you somewhere. I am so looking forward to the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot. And hoping to get to ride the Mine train too.....:rolleyes1
 

Well, part of it may be school stress related and I'm just the convinient outlet.

Just when I was ready to toss him out the window....

Huge argument about him going to help load the truck last night...he "couldn't" because he had too much homework.

Tough. He made a commitment, not the directors fault the truck was late, they are short people and everyone is required to help load.

His choice to do stage crew and spend time after school on that.

And then got to the homework.

I made him go load the truck. I went and helped load the truck.

On the way home I get the

"Keeping good grades is really hard!"

"I'm struggling with xxx" in school, casually tossed out.

A thoughtful, engaging conversation ensued with a fun brainstorming session.

He came home excited, in a great mood, ate and got right to work.

I even got a "thank you, that helped a lot!"

Had we not gone to load the truck, he'd have sat on the couch the entire time staring at his ipad...stuck in the same spot and in the same bad mood.

I may keep him after all. :goodvibes

i am glad the source reared its head and it just wasn't teenage syndrome.:rotfl2:

Also glad that a "teachable moment " became available and you were able to reduce some stress for him.



Have a wonderful trip. YAY for a ride to the airport. :thumbsup2

Yay for the ride is right! Made my night when that magically happened :)
 
So loving your thread...My DH and I have 4 kiddos between us ranging in age from 5 to 8. My stepmom actually adopted me:) I have been running 1/2 marathons and in the midst of planning our 1st WDW trip I decided to train for a full marathon. I have been to Disneyland hundreds of times growing up in Cali but I have been told WDW will take me breath away. Can't wait to finish reading or catching up!
 
Coming out of lurkdom to say great TR Cynthia and hope you have safe travels.


Holy Moly - that IS a lot of stuff! :scared1:
I can't believe it all even fit. When I got there the big instruments were in and the concept that all of it would make it in was a bit mind boggling. That picture is not showing it completely full and done yet though it was towards the end.
Also coming out of lurkdom to say it must have been a man packing all that equipment and luggage to make it fit if my household is any example. Let the flaming begin ladies! :rotfl2:

Going back into lurkdom now as I dodge rapid refill mugs, suitcases and a broken memory card coming my way! :sad2:
 
A quick poolside hello :) having a good time. Wore the crew out yesterday with a sunrise service to park closing kind of day, but accomplished everything our (my) list and then some. Have definitely had some drama but some very magical moments too!
 
Love, love, love the band uniforms. Your son is so lucky.

Band sweatshirt, bad memories. Sarah took her sweatshirt to band camp and another student tried to claimed it. They were not trying to steal it, just everyone's shirts were in a pile, yep on the floor like your earlier photo and since they all had one, someone just grabbed one which was the correct size and decided it belonged to them. When I asked Sarah where her overly expensive shirt was she said she lost it in the room. I made her start asking her roommates to check for her name. Yep, someone else had it. I do not know who lost their shirt but I am glad we marked all of Sarah's clothes with her name.

"One time at band camp...." Sorry, couldn't resist. :lmao: Hopefully I'm not the only one who will admit to seeing that movie. ;)

Glad you had a nice time! I can't wait to read about it! :cool1:
 
:woohoo::woohoo::woohoo: for being able to go back to bed!

Glad you are having a good time, but not glad about more drama.

Which of them are you admitting too. I'll say I've seen all the ones with the original cast ond only Band camp with the spinoff ones.

I won't admit to which ones I'm admitting to. :lmao: Okay, I think I've only seen the original cast. Was that two or three? :confused3
