Sorry I've been MIA, but its been a busy week - not as busy as Mo's week apparently, but I can't check out the Dis at work any more so I have to wait until I get home - and there is so much to do here...

Anyway, it was so much fun meeting up with Mo and Tom and the midgets!

It was bittersweet. I'm exhausted but at least this weekend i was able to get more then 5 hours of sleep.

I KNOW!!! It's the BEST Costume ever! the little girl is SO cute isn't she?!?! I would wear that in an instant!

This is soooo adorable!!! Okay, so we need to totally have costumes like this for our EPIC trip if we do the MNSSHP. Right???

This would be awesome! Can you image ALL of us wearing something like this? can't be too hard?! just need some sort of batter pack thing.

This would be fun.

It would!!!

That is an epic worthy costume!

Sorry I've been MIA, but its been a busy week - not as busy as Mo's week apparently, but I can't check out the Dis at work any more so I have to wait until I get home - and there is so much to do here...

[Chicago Mo]

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!!

Mine was good!!!

Friday: regular work day then dog training job


Saturday: I got to sleep in! WOOO HOO had my coffee while chatting with some fabulous friends. Had my call in with Job #2 who did NOT need me Then it was time for Meg's game.. Drove out there screamed at girls who don't come to practice and weren't doing what they were supposed to. (YET are able to make Girls scouts which started as practice ended) we should have won. but lost in the last minute by 2 points.
Came home exhausted but started cleaning the house and get up more decorations! FINALLY! as anyone know Halloween is one of my MOST FAVORITE holidays!!! It was about 70 out. WAY TOO NICE to be inside. So we went to a haunted hayride!!! The kids FIRST ever real haunted anything. it was 5.00 a person made by the FOP for a small Indiana Town called Whiting it's right across the border and about 15 minutes from our house.
well.... Let's just say it was a little more intense then i had thought...
In Line waiting...


the first round of spookers had Meg in tears... They were BANGING on the trailer jumping on on it and screaming a lot...



Oops.

Sorry Meg... Matt was on the ground (like they can't see him there) Zack was sitting and watching... Learning... and enjoying my misery along with Matt and Meg. Tom was holding Meg and hiding her head. My Mom thoroughly enjoyed watching it ALL

See the guy on the right laughing??? Can you guess who he is laughing AT??


Yeah me.

I did really really enjoy it!!! SO well put together! After about 30 minutes it was OVER. Matt didn't like Jason and his chain saw. Meg didn't like the first part but was Ok with the rest. Zack? He was loving it. So Matt and Zack started plotting for Halloween... Trick or treaters beware of my house...
Went to a small restaurant for dinner laughed.... Anytime Meg Meg was asked about the hayride was " I hated it, I hated everything about it" She doesn't ever say the word Hate. But she likes to be part of the scaring.. just not the scare-er

Everyone slept fine.

Sunday: another call in to the job #2. NOPE!! Not needed Today was the LAST FOOTBALL GAME!!! it was bittersweet as I LOVE did i say love? Adore- this is one Football loving Mom.. I'm glad we will have our weekdays back as the kids had practice EVERYDAY... I will truly miss watching them every Sunday. Especially now the bears are well.. I have no idea who that team is.
The game was A-MAZ-ING! Matt was the captain!!! Meg was dressed up like a zombie for the half time show of Thriller. the boys did a fantastic job and we did win by 4 touchdowns!!!! 3 of them were interceptions!!! i can go on and on but I won't.

after the game we went home for showers Tom went to work and we needed to figure out a game plan! It's Sunday with my babies! They picked the buffet... Fine.
came home watched pirate fairy and the toy story Halloween special.

Today is another call in to the job #2
Want to get the rest of Halloween stuff up- get some pumpkins Meg has basketball practice some girls will be standing with their arms up in the air for 5 minutes...

I have a BOAT LOAD of editing to do!

I will try to get an update tomorrow!!! PROMISE!!!

PRAYERS ARE STILL WITH THOSE WHO NEED IT!

 

[that's nice]

Hey Mo...

Just read through all your updates.

What an adventurous ride to Florida. I did the drive to Florida trip when I went to Spring Break as a 21 year old. I can't imagine driving there with 3 kids (and my wife) They would be complaining after the first hour.

Aren't the new busses just plain and boring?

You wasted no time just jumping into the magic!

So sorry the CM at AoA check in was so unfriendly.

How awesome that the nice CM at Epcot gave the kids 3 plush? I've never seen a slip like that before. She should win employee of the month.

I need to get to Biergarten. I've yet to convince my wife to eat there.

Rain? Rain? Seems like what we were dealing with on our trip too.

Hopefully I can kinda keep up.

 

[sewdisney]

I finally was able to read all of your report up to now. I've enjoyed reading all of it.

I adore your nails. They were so cute!
Beautiful reveal video - so sweet. I LOVED it!
Congrats on your 14th anniversary!
Your children are so adorable – absolutely precious!
Glad you got some pixie dust after that horrible CM!
Loved that Donald did a dance in Mexico. How fun!

 

[disneychic2]

Hey Mo! Sounds like another fun filled, busy weekend for your awesome family! Too bad Meg's team lost, but glad the boys won. And I would have paid to see the Thriller show Meg did!

Yeah, those haunted things can really be intense. When we were working with the youth, we took them to a haunted forest and I actually peed my pants when a guy came up beside me and I thought it was Dan and I grabbed his arm, but when I looked it was some goulish, ugly monster guy. Man, I didn't live that down for a loooong time!!

I'm anxious for your next installment as well. I see that some of you get a lot of DISing done at work. Maybe that's the key for me…get a real job and I'll be able to keep up better!

So, gotta get downstairs and finish up the Anna dress for Caroline. It's sort of become the dress that will never be finished!! Hope to get it sent today as well. I hope you have a great day at work and otherwise!

 

[Pluto0809]

Why do I always feel like I've run 10 miles after reading one of your updates?

Totally on board with Meg! I hate haunted houses/hayrides where they jump out at you. No idea why as I am a thrill junkie so you would like I would like them. I especially hate going with Jim because he screams like a little girl, runs off an leaves me behind. The Haunted Mansion at MK is much more my speed.

 

[JoeyEmmaMomma]

Woot for football ending!
Soccer is ending here this week, and I'm totally excited to have our Saturdays and Wednesday nights back!

 

[Newsies]

Amen to the end of football season. The end of football season means the end of marching band season, and the end of marching band season means I can finally hang out with my marching band friends

 

[mickeystoontown]

I remember the days of running back and forth to this practice and that practice or this game and then another game. John and I were talking about that just the other day. I miss the parents that we made friends with and the chili cheeseburgers from the concession stand but I do NOT miss all the hectic running around.

You and your kids are braver people that I am. There's no way that you would have ever even gotten me to agree to go to a haunted hayride. I'm with Meg and don't like stuff popping out at me. Now I say all that but I have been trying to talk John into going to The Myrtles which is one of the most haunted mansions in the United States. Hunter has been and my sister has been (she even spent the night there and captured the ghost on camera) but John won't step foot on the property. Maybe I can talk Hunter and his girlfriend into going with me?

 

[KatMark]

Just popped in while I had a second to check for an update. Thankfully, here's one report I'm not behind on.

 

[OregonMomToWDW]

Thankfully, I am allergic to hay, so hayrides are out. My poor kids. Deprived of hayrides. I have been on a couple and suffered, so they know what they are like. I am not sure Chelsea would have done the haunted part very well.

I am going to be on here hit and miss. Second day of jury selection starts today and I have not been dismissed yet. Supposed to be a long trial, so we shall see.

 

[Chicago Mo]

Hey Mo...

Hi Tim!

Just read through all your updates.

You deserve a medal.

What an adventurous ride to Florida. I did the drive to Florida trip when I went to Spring Break as a 21 year old. I can't imagine driving there with 3 kids (and my wife) They would be complaining after the first hour.

I tried to make it sound adventurous...
If you surprise them as your walking out and leave later so they all sleep? it's way easier to do.. 21 year old and driving? i can ONLY imagine! must have been an adventure all in it's own!

Aren't the new busses just plain and boring?

I don't like em... Not one bit. where do i sign to get them back?

You wasted no time just jumping into the magic!

Like i had any other choice? The munchkins would have it NO OTHER way. we hit the ground running.

So sorry the CM at AoA check in was so unfriendly.

i do believe her attitude would have been better suited in HM or TOT... just sayin.

How awesome that the nice CM at Epcot gave the kids 3 plush? I've never seen a slip like that before. She should win employee of the month.

I know!!!! She really went out of her way!!! I do hope Disney does something for her. But my ONE letter of appreciation probably won't help.

I need to get to Biergarten. I've yet to convince my wife to eat there.

It a cool experience!!! Gotta try it at least once!

Rain? Rain? Seems like what we were dealing with on our trip too.

ugh you too??? the more i read and listen to people i hear Sept was the worst rain season they have had in years... Of course it was....

Hopefully I can kinda keep up.

AS you can see it is really SLOW moving i'm only on day 2!!! I better get a move on!!!

I finally was able to read all of your report up to now. I've enjoyed reading all of it.

thank you!!! I'm so glad you came aboard and enjoying it!!!

I adore your nails. They were so cute!

Thanks! I was so upset to have to take it off once we were home.

Beautiful reveal video - so sweet. I LOVED it!

THANK YOU!!! it was the best moment ever!

Congrats on your 14th anniversary!

Thanks!

Your children are so adorable – absolutely precious!

Thank you!!! I really think so too. I do love them tons..

Glad you got some pixie dust after that horrible CM!

YES!!! Danielle was Super CM! fantastic person!!!

Loved that Donald did a dance in Mexico. How fun!

Shaking tail feathers is some down home good fun!

Hey Mo!

Hi Stranger!

Sounds like another fun filled, busy weekend for your awesome family! Too bad Meg's team lost, but glad the boys won. And I would have paid to see the Thriller show Meg did!

It was so cute! they walked like zombies on and off the field. REALLY exaggerating the limp leg pull.. It was really cute.
it was a great weekend!!

Yeah, those haunted things can really be intense. When we were working with the youth, we took them to a haunted forest and I actually peed my pants when a guy came up beside me and I thought it was Dan and I grabbed his arm, but when I looked it was some goulish, ugly monster guy. Man, I didn't live that down for a loooong time!!

i think i just peed reading the above...

I'm anxious for your next installment as well. I see that some of you get a lot of DISing done at work. Maybe that's the key for me…get a real job and I'll be able to keep up better!

hey whatta tryin to say?

It does take me about 2 hours to do replies since work keeps asking me to do things for them! THE NERVE!!! an update takes all day!!!

So, gotta get downstairs and finish up the Anna dress for Caroline. It's sort of become the dress that will never be finished!! Hope to get it sent today as well. I hope you have a great day at work and otherwise!

i can't wait to see the dress!!! Please post pictures!

Why do I always feel like I've run 10 miles after reading one of your updates?

Im good for the work out!

Totally on board with Meg! I hate haunted houses/hayrides where they jump out at you. No idea why as I am a thrill junkie so you would like I would like them.

Oh no! I LOOOOOOOOOVE haunted houses. Before Kids we used to go to them every weekend. i swear i had a target on me where ever we went they always zoned in on me!

I especially hate going with Jim because he screams like a little girl, runs off an leaves me behind. The Haunted Mansion at MK is much more my speed.

OMGGGGGGGGGGG i just laughed my head off!!!!! Killing me today!!!

Woot for football ending!
Soccer is ending here this week, and I'm totally excited to have our Saturdays and Wednesday nights back!

Off? No.. We now run right into Boys basketball and VOLLEYBALL!

Amen to the end of football season. The end of football season means the end of marching band season, and the end of marching band season means I can finally hang out with my marching band friends

don't you hang out with your marching bands friends during the season?!?!
What do you play in the marching band??




OK quick funny Haunted house story then an update..

SO EONS ago. i don't even think i was married yet.
a bunch of went to a Haunted house called statesville. Of course i was always singled out, but we have LOTS of laughs at my expense. I maybe weighed 120 pounds I was so cool in my stretch pants and Doc Martin boots. My sister who was a LARGE girl was also a target for the zombies clowns and any other nightmare who would find us appealing for their amusement of the night.
We we were finally at the end of this goolish nightmare and about to hit the exit when of COURSE the chainsaw started jolted my sister into a sprint Carl Lewis would be proud of.
Out the door we went i flew. I do believe there was flash of light behind me. When my ever COOL doc martin failed me on the rock path and SPLAT On my face i went. i turned over and saw my sister coming at me like a mac truck. I laid down flat said a small prayer and watched as she SAILED over me graceful as a ballerina.
Once she touched ground I got up and did like a TA DA with my hands in the air


When i heard clapping...


arena amount of clapping.


Turning around we saw the 200 people waiting in line to get into the house were applauding my sister and i...


True story. We have many more stories like this...


Ok i better get on with this update and start on printing state report which are due on Thursday and the kids haven't started them yet!!!

Any ideas for :

Kentucky

Indiana

FLORIDA! will be filled with ALL THINGS Disney.



Also want to add if you guys can say a prayer for KATMARK. Her Mom is not doing well and she just had a bad time with her Brother. She needs prayers!
