May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!! Part 3

[HollyTyler]

So now maybe I Do want to visit this place? Do they do any re-enactments?

(Don't want to go blind though . . .)

So V, do you take after dear old grandma then? Will you be taking any horserides soon?

Um.....does Amy ever read these posts? She just might slap you!

hey - I do love horses...not so sure with my bells on though.


Here's my fam....John's on the couch, Samantha is on the Princess chair (large overstuffed, really comfy, wish I could take it everywhere - chair) and Haley is on the Pooh Bear couch --------------- ALL ASLEEP...but all in the living room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I firmly believe you brain still activates as long as you hear noise, so this is putting a huge damper in my PC'ing, homicide files night.

 

[Jhalkias]

Now, that's a vision I truly hope leaves my head before I go to sleep! I really don't want nightmares tonight!

Sorry . . . .

 

[lillygator]

OK...NOW I'm really headed to bed!

Must.....close.....computer.....lid.

Just.....walk.....away.

Yeah, I'm a nutcase.

your computer has a lid?

 

[Jhalkias]

Beautiful girls! What's a Libby Lu party?

You don't want to know, be glad you have a boy!

I I always pose the kids now, and hate to say it the pictures are really cute.
My girl scouts are trained when they see my camera to say "1, 2, 3, SCRAP IT" I'm a freak!
duh...isn't that how you scrapbook in the first place? okay that's totally my story and I'm sticking to it.

ok, before every trip/event I go to 2peasinabucket to see what I should get pictures of to scrap...

Having said all of that I have no albums completed...I've started about 20 (no joke) but I jump all over the place and never finish them.

.

Whose kids actually take pictures and ask them to scrap it?! My eldest started collecting little trinkets from places telling me that it would go great in a scrapbook. I used to go shopping before trips, but my supply closet is so stuffed I should really sell some stuff on ebay and make some cruise money. I completely adopted the saying "She who dies with the most supplies wins!" Sounds like we need to start a scrapbooking challenge here (like on 2 peas and other sites). Maybe we could do something like that on the other ship of thieves website (so we don't bore others here) and have a weekly or monthly type challenge? Sound good to anyone? And, we will just keep track of how many challenges we complete and we'll just need to plan a DOD celebration (1 DOD for every challenge done For me, I would be sober but some others might get a good buzz going! )

I can see it on the DU site so I am not worried...just wondered if they sent them out at all....

hey, as long as I am on the ship!!! WHOOOO HOOO there's gonna be one heck of a two week party!

But no banana drinks...or banana men dressed in banana suits...or banana anything for that matter.

 

[Jhalkias]

Hey, that's what John was doing last night about our conversations here!!!

Keep talking Libby Lou, and I'll be doing that again!

 

[Jhalkias]

Wow! I see! Pretty cool, but I have to say, I'm glad Tyler's a boy.

Don't say I didn't tell you so!

 

[ulittletinker]

My oldest could care less about libby lu, but my 5 year old could go there every day for a makeover! It is a nice place for a party (NOT in my house) and for the cost, they get some pretty good goodies.

Thank for posting libby lu info. We heading down DLkCa spring-break and we'll be celebrating my 6yr olds birthday. After seeing the pictures of your darling daughters, I think emmy will enjoy it.

Not quite as observant as I would have thought you were...

Good with words - not so good with other "things"

 

[Jhalkias]

Noticing lots of us from the Pacific NW. Now, I know there is no way we outnumber the Cali group, but we shouldn't let them have all the fun with their meets, right?!

Also, I have a general ?????.....since my dd (8.5) won't know about the cruise until December, will she still get a chance to know some of the other kids off this thread? You know, another OCD planner, worried that her dd won't get enough time to chat on-line with only 5 months left!!! Are there many 8/9 year olds chatting already??? Not that I would break my silence about the cruise just to allow her to chat She is just a shy kiddo and I really want her to get a chance to know some kids before we set sail.

Sophia will be eight years old and three months at the time of the cruise, and I am sure she will be happy to get to know your DD. She already has a friend on the cruise in Kim's DD Savannah, and both girls can be rather quiet and shy. She doesn't email much now anyway, and by Christmas, she should be more into it.

I'm sure that is enough time to get to know each other.

I'd like to suggest that we make some actual set time on the ship for the kids to play together, perhaps we can make some pool dates and times set up so the girls can meet face to face (maybe with moms too) so they can have time to share.

Holly I totally understood this but seeing this question made me laugh! We are on laptops and they close...like a lid closing down, get it?

 

[Jhalkias]

Um.....does Amy ever read these posts? She just might slap you!

Amy reads them, Vanessa reads them, and when we are all at WDW together in a couple of weeks, they may take turns.

Actually, Amy has not kept up with this thread yet. She has lurked a bit, but I think it is too far away for her to get really involved yet like her overplanning and over talkative husband. By that time this will be buried - right?

Laptop V . . .

Just got the picture. Thought it was hysterical! Note to self...put away that sweater for trips to crowded places

Keep talking Libby Lou, and I'll be doing that again!

Now, I might be bringing up bad memories, but John...is LL really THAT bad

It certainly is a girlie thing. Disney actually started the Bibbidi Boppidi Boutique (sp?) modeled after it at DTD in orlando.

C'mon V, we all know the banana is your favorite fruit!

I will be on mickey pool duty for two weeks, so just let me know . . . (are dads allowed?)

Jaide just got her own email account (only reason I like AOL, their parental controls are great and they send you a daily update of what sites they visited and who emails went to and came from) and has started emailing her friends from school. She is having fun with it.
Now at that pool date, are the mom's indulging in DOD's?! I think if we set something up in the first few days, the rest of the cruise the kids will be off and going on their own.
