Goog Morning!

Thanks for all your kind comments.

CelMom - Yes 2 have brown eyes and 3 have blue eyes. I especially like that 2 of them have dark hair and blue eyes.I I have blue/green eyes and Chad has light brownish eyes. I just hope my brown eyed beautys keep their chocolate colored eyes and they don't get lighter. Sometimes you can't even see Kaleb's pupils.

Wendy - I thought your siggy pic was different too. Before he said anything about it. I thought that one didn't even look like you.
Do you need me to send some money for shipping since it's a heavy box?

Last night was the first night of the season we were able to open the windows. I LOVE sleeping to the fresh air.

I still didn't get a "good" night sleep though. At about 12:30 Isaac started crying. I had vowed that I would change him, drug him(teeth) and put him back down without nursing him. However, before I even realized what I had done he was in bed with me nursing. I was so tired I didn't even realize what I was doing.

Ringworm - Okay, anyone who has had it. Did it start like a bug bite welt that itched like the dickens and when it went away did it leave a messed up pigmentation on the skin? I am beginning to think mine isn't ringworm. But I don't know what it could be.

Marita - Hope you feel better. Isaac has a snotty nose, poor baby.

Peej - Good idea for the Sub.

Twinkie - Where the heck is the sling pictures?

 

[MommyPoppins]

That night was even worse than the night before. Isaac got up a couple times, the neighbors were up ALL night. At 4am they were singing, loudly on their balcony and making up fights with each other about keeping people awake. Chad called about them and someone came right away. After that they decided to go to bed. Again I allowed the boys to make as much noise as possible the next morning. This is about what we woke up to. I actually didn't take any pictures from the beach this day because it was too depressing. I took this yesterday. It didn't actually rain on Sunday though. Just windy and cloudy. Nasty!

We decided to go get some real coffee and breakfast. We found a McDonalds not far away. Got the boys breakfast burritos and we had coffee. Then we found a Denny's down the street. The boys ate again. We went to the John D MacArther state park that was down the street from the hotel. The have a little nature center with a short video about the park. We learned some neat things like the "cigars" we always see at the beach are actually red mangrove seeds. We actually saw some hanging from the trees this time. God designed them so perfectly and we got to see that design in action. They are long and the bottom end is a little pointed and weighted. So when they drop from the tree they fall straight down and sink into the soft ground and root. Look what we saw on the nature walk. It dropped down and poked straight through that leaf and rooted. How awesome is God's creation?

Some other pictures from our walk.

And I was able to take some nice pictures of the boys since they were dressed in decent clothes and there was no one around. lol

I think Isaac could feel sand. He was started to freak out.

Chad took this cool picture of Jeremiah before we headed to the nature center.

When we left there we went back to the hotel and went out to the beach. We were the only people out there. It was miserable. The waves were scary big and it was sooooo windy and cold. But we ended up having a good time and then we we to the pool for a couple hours at the end of the day. Again we were the only people there. lol. That night Isaac started running a fever. So Chad had to go out to the 7-11 to get some infant drops. $8.49 cents. Here is little Isaac after he fell asleep next to me waiting for Chad to come back with the medicine.

Poor baby.

So that's the end. We got home around 1:30 yesterday.

Oh yeah, on our way home we passed this:

Mony, YAY and EEk a srppropriate toythe kids 3 hour reheasals???

MommyP: I'm so jealous you can just pick up and leave and go somewhere like that in a moments notice and in a little time.

Thanks for sharing. I loved all of your pictures, the kids are just darling.



Peej: I feel like I'm taking a major test at least once a week. And I don't like that. This week is just midterms. Be happy you are done with school, and not having to go through it, later in life.


Have a great day everyone, my son is hanging over me literally to use the puter.

I got a smack for that comment.

 

[pumba]

[Sandy321]

shhh everyone's sleeping!

few minutes left of internet - dh turned off the keyboard back lignts, so I cant see what I'm typing! Its still dark in here- I keep jumping up thinking I hear the maid carts rolling - I forgot to hang out the do not disturb sign!! (and if I open the door, everyone will wake up!)

DD felt great yesterday - the weather is exceptionally gorgeous! We did eat around the world - dd enjoyed the cheeses... she bought a beret in France (she is designing her halloween costume, now I need to find her a red or black striped shirt!)

Again, we're taking it slow - and enjoying every minute!!

More Hugs, and prayers and peace Javamom Celery, Celerymama

Mony woohoo on another test down - for the ones yet to come!

MommyP loved the TR and the pictures (they werent too big!)

PJ at your note!! and as a sub (note I may be a tad stubborn) I really believe that kids are "good" - they may just be.... curious.... um... adventurous... um... well anyway, when I see notes like that - I totally ignore them (grateful yes, but I try and connect with all the kids - and I try not to ask any of them for help.... lol I said try!! I love my job tho!!) and have fun lesson plan shopping!!

UMA new picture??? Hope you got a goog nights sleep!!

Marita looking forward to the tea - dd almost wanted to cancel - we were debating which adr to cancel - I picked Mama Melrose - she wants to do Fantasmic - it was touch and go, right now Its a GO!! I'll call you later today when I know for sure!!

It sounds like your job is getting interesting!

After our exessively long dinner at Le Cellier (honestly if they didnt have such good steaks!) We checked in at 7:15 for our 7:30 adr, and didnt get to a table until 8:10! Which throws off my whole watch Illuminations plan - but the rude people were entertaing.... then our waiter said go out and watch we'll hold the creme brullet, in which I discover dh doesnt like crowds!! He sat and waited for us, we didnt stay for the all of illuminations

(maid just got here - I caught her in time - dh and dd still sleeping)

So after illuminations, and dessert - (best maple creme brullet, LeCellier brought dd a huge candy cup filled with chocolate mousse!!) we were stuffed - made our way out of the parks, enjoying the colors of the fountain... when dd heard MK had pm emh - "Please daddy, oh please daddy, maybe we can ride pirates??"

Yep, we headed to monorail (no lines its 10pm) got to MK - making our way upstream (so many leaving, hundreds, probably thousands) NOW, Studios emh went to midnight (we got there at 9pm and left at 10 ) Why cant MK stay open till midnight - yes, its crazy crowded around here!!

Got to do Pirate's with no wait, and only one other family in our boat - then we ran to Big thunder - waited maybe 5-10 min - and now its 11~~ but dd is giggling and laughing... dh is still worried about work, networks and has to take a phone meeting soonish! (he worked till 3am!)

so today is sleep in, see how dd feels, make our way to Studios for Fantasmic (park closes at 7pm - mind you AK closes at 5, MK at 6, Epcot at 9 - no emh that I found - really on special party nights, cant they keep ONE park open later?? It feels like a "Mickey's got your money - and wants MORE!) (that was a grumble because we're not rich!!)

We enjoyed David Letterman and Jack Hanna last night - too funny with animals!!

I'm sure I over bored y'all!! It s nice to have someone to talk to while the snoring is going on!!

 

[MommyPoppins]

Sandy - Sounds like you're having a good time. I'm jealous! We debated going to the World this weekend, but chose the beach instead. Way cheaper.

 

[TwinkieMama]

Sandy- Sounds like fun! My neighbors just got back. Said weather was perfect but the parks were crowded.

MommyP- I loved your beach trip report. You guys take awesome pictures! Of course it helps to have such adorable photo subjects You look great (as usual) too here is mad props for looking so cute.

CelMom - Yes 2 have brown eyes and 3 have blue eyes. I especially like that 2 of them have dark hair and blue eyes.I I have blue/green eyes and Chad has light brownish eyes. I just hope my brown eyed beautys keep their chocolate colored eyes and they don't get lighter. Sometimes you can't even see Kaleb's pupils.

[I still didn't get a "good" night sleep though. At about 12:30 Isaac started crying. I had vowed that I would change him, drug him(teeth) and put him back down without nursing him. However, before I even realized what I had done he was in bed with me nursing. I was so tired I didn't even realize what I was doing.


Twinkie - Where the heck is the sling pictures?

1. Eyes only get darker, not lighter and pigmentation is usually done in early childhood so don't worry about those beautiful brown eyes. I love that Isaac's hair is almost red. He looks a lot like Gabe in some of those pictures... identical strangers

2. About the automatic nursing... BTDT.... even last night. I swear I am on autopilot. We are not sleeping well either. We all have colds and suddently my through-the-night-baby is waking up several times a night. Maybe it is teeth too? hmm...

3. I had technical difficulties but I see you showed me up with your "if you can't find the camera just get a new one"..... I'll see what I can do today. I have been wearing the sling everywhere and get lots of compliments someone at church wished she had a friend like you


Hi everybody else! I have a cold. Ugh. Also first grade starts spelling tests this week. Each spelling test has a theme: this week is SPACE PUP.

 

[TwinkieMama]

to make up for my lameness at sling pics here are punkin patch pics from before the camera broke

 

[TwinkieMama]

also notice how the biggest and littlest boy have the same look on their face

"What in the helk did I do to deserve this family fun trip?"

 

[NAB]

Wow I wake up to all these great pictures!!

Twinkie-- for some reason I thought only one of your girls wore glasses, at least they are different and can't be mixed up. Nice to see you again in a picture. Lovely family you got there. Are you sitting watching a show or something?

Mommy P-- what great pictures of the boys. Your new camera takes great pictures, now you have a back up camera... or will you be returning this one.

UMA-- isn't that one of the pictures you asked us to pick from awhile back, but people didn't want you to change. Change is good too, I love it.

Marita-- one of these days your going to go to sleep and sleep for the whole day with all this sleep your losing. Hope you have better luck tonight.

Sandy-- glad your having fun. Too bad about hubby working though. It is really cold here today so I would trade place with you in a heart beat. It feels like winter today with the wind.

 

[babynurse1]

I was here for a twinkie family sighting. WooT! Absolutely adorable family. You guys are the epitome of cuteness.
I see The Dh traded in the Colts hat for a Duke hat. That is soooooo the dh.

Snarkbritches: Of course you can have a gym. you earned that one. AND yay for your kiddos.

Peej: Thanks for the Peyton pic. I still "lof" him even though the Colts lost badly on Sunday. You saw a cute movie? ME TOO!

Celery and Java:

Wendy: Gosh I'm glad Rob mentioned your new pic cuz i have dial up and have disabled signatures. hee hee. wait. did you call me a dork a million pages ago? well, i never. joking people, joking

MommyP: Your boys look so sweet. i love the pic of Isaac on the pier with drool dripping off of his chin. too cute.

Alrighty gang, I'm gonna have to end this thing cuz i got places to go and people to see. have a great day.

 

[TwinkieMama]

I see The Dh traded in the Colts hat for a Duke hat. That is soooooo the dh.

He is a man of many hats. Of course you are just teasing about the Duke hat.... you know he wouldn't wear a Duke hat unless it was part of a Halloween costume or something. That is a Durham Bulls hat.


Good morning Nab! Yes both the girls have glasses, usually one pair is broken. I did have them pick out very different frames because their prescriptions are pratically the same. Yes, we were watching a show.... a really cool performance of music from the 1850s played on period instruments by men in period costumes (using big ol' amplifiers of course ) It was great. They had a banjo, a violin and the bones. The world champion bones player was part of the trio. He is from St. Louis. I wonder if he also is a parking lot attendant for his day job :

Hi everybody else! I have a cold. Ugh. Also first grade starts spelling tests this week. Each spelling test has a theme: this week is SPACE PUP.

Jeremiah's eyes used to be as dark as Kaleb's and they are lighter now. That's why I worry. My blue eyed babies eyes getting lighter with age too.

I noticed that about Gabe and Isaac. How strange! One of the pictures I have I actually said to myself,"Wow it looks just like Gabe." I don't know if I included that. I'll have to check.

Someone at church can have a friend like me for about $70 bucks.

 

[UtahMama]

Wow I wake up to all these great pictures!!

UMA-- isn't that one of the pictures you asked us to pick from awhile back, but people didn't want you to change. Change is good too, I love it.

Good memory Nab!
Thank you! Welp, until I figure something else to stick there, I guess it'll do. Just got sick of that particular picture (so I stuck a near same pose up instead?? LOL)

Wendy: Gosh I'm glad Rob mentioned your new pic cuz i have dial up and have disabled signatures. hee hee. wait. did you call me a dork a million pages ago? well, i never. joking people, joking

Dorkus!

Twinkie- Your oldest (eldest) son will grow into his knees and elbows soon. Poor little Teen-man!

The youngest does look like the oldest You and the girls are adorable !!! Goldenchild is getting so big!

I'm mildly amused by the background folks, as I always am.
Love Family-Fun!!!

 

[Bloodhound]

Great family outing...I love going out to pick the jack-o-lantern and baking the seeds(eating part)

 

[celerystalker]

I'm so glad I get to hear about my brother's possible diagnosis on a message board.

My mom and I keep different hours so it's hard to connect. I was going to call her at 3 this morning when Riley pup woke me up, but I decided to be a good daughter instead.

Anyway, my brother has been released (I think), so when my parents get back from picking him up, maybe I'll know more.


Twinks - what kind of theme is space pup? What are the words? I'm weird and nosy.

Mommyp - Great pics! That camera takes awesome photos!

 

[RobInBigKC]

Oh Joy, I am up again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It may be time for some Nyquil....

Maybe you can have some of Breezy's Ambien?

Wendy: Gosh I'm glad Rob mentioned your new pic cuz i have dial up and have disabled signatures. hee hee. wait. did you call me a dork a million pages ago? well, i never. joking people, joking

While not REALLY a compliment, this is about a positive remark as I've ever gotten from the BBN so I wanted to highlight it. Not often you see those words that close together in one of her posts.

UMA-- isn't that one of the pictures you asked us to pick from awhile back, but people didn't want you to change. Change is good too, I love it.

That's what I said! I asked her who gave her permission to change her pic like that!
