May 10, 2008 New Ship Of Thieves...May 2008 Repo Thread...Part 6

How old is Wilson again? I'm letting my two older boys check-in and out together...if it works, we can add Wilson to that mix some days. Our rules (I think) will be as follows:

1) We need to know where they are at all times.
2) If they check-out, they need to go where we are or back to the cabin. No exceptions.
3) First time they aren't where they should be, check-in/out priveleges gone.

Any advice on the check/in & out thing? I believe in the buddy system and really don't think much can happen to them if they stick together. I like the idea of them getting some freedom....goodness knows kids don't have much freedom anymore. There was a thread on this a few days back....

I don't know if this will work for anyone but ---

On our first cruise my DSIS's kids were 12 & 14. She kept a legal pad on the desk in the cabin and all of them (DSIS and DBIL as well) were required to "time log" where they were going every time they left the cabin. That way if any one was looking for the other they just went back to the cabin and checked the log.

As a second benefit, once they were home they had a journal to sort pictures by and do the scrapbook.

We have blizzard warnings for tonight. They are predicting 9 to 12 inches before it ends tomorrow. I think we have already had close to six. More snow than we have had all year and the worst storm in several years.

Well great. That means it headed our way. The daffodils are coming up and the azaleas are budding.

 

[Mom323]

Well, Angie just called and she is on her way home.



I am patiently waiting .

Yippee!

Did your avatar change? Who is that cute little girl? (Angie?)

Brooke will be five, almost six and Ethan will be a young eight. They aren't involved in the yahoo group but they are each emailing one person and have met at one of the meets and we will see one of them at the meet in April. Ethan is really out going but getting to the age that he thinks kids don't want to play with him. Brooke is extremely shy but loves to play by herself or with others. If they have any kind of crafts or coloring she will probably want to do that. Neither of them would get along with the "tweens" but I know what type you are talking about.

I highly suspect when the kids find out that we (that's the royal WE) are hanging around with each other that they will tend to do that too. I know Molly is happy playing with the little girls still. Wilson for sure is happy with boys his age and older. He is a bit serious sometimes. I'm sure the boys will be happy to meet each other too.

Holy Cow! I don't normally do this . . . but I've been doing nothing but thinking about this cruise all day! I went back to our pictures from the last cruise and found these two door signs my sister made for us. I just loved them. Let's see if I can get these to show up.

These look great! I guess I need to go throw mine away and start again!

That's a good idea - might do something like that if we allow them to venture to other places...they are 10 & 8. I'm thinking the arcade could be another spot they can go to (until they run out of money!).

Nan, LOVE that photo of Wilson!!

I glanced thru the badge book but didn't find anything that directly related to our travel, I'm not giving up. I'll ask a friend that finds a way to wiggle everything. And for sure Molly will bring her vest. I think I'll have Wilson bring his scout shirt too.

I was at our SUM last pm. Our Membership Specialist told us about the new age guidelines and hinted at the upcoming program changes.
It's all about Journeys.

Last pictures, I promise!

You can almost see me on the balcony way up there!

And this is what I want to be doing right now! I can't wait to get to CC!

 

[Mom323]

I am going to start posting on the new thread now. Connie

New thread Yikes. I can hardly keep up with one thread let alone two.

We were thinking of doing this with a magnet on the door so that the other people we are going with, in a different room, would know where we were. Then someone brought it to my attention that people would know you weren't in your room. Does anyone think that would be an issue?

Does anyone know what the romance package is? I have a friend that is going on one of the one week cruises and she heard you can book early if you have the romance package. She can't seem to find it anywhere.

That's the ? of the year! Nobody knows why some get a room and others don't. I booked the 31st of Jan 2007 in the morning.

 

[Mom323]

I'm not sure that they offered it for this cruise, and the early booking went away for sure, I looked into it. We did it last time. I do like the robes, I might get it just for that cool robe, anyone wanna split it with me, Paul doesn't want the other robe

There is also the Romantic Escape at Sea - this one includes a spa treatment, a dinner at Palo, and early booking. But I can't find it! I know it wasn't offered on our cruise, but it is still supposed to be available for the 7 day ones.
