How would I go about doing that - it's a great idea! Just post? Any guidelines/suggestions you have?

Thanks!

Just take charge and put out a post that says: LATE ARRIVAL fish extender exchange. If you are joining the list after the official close of the 1st Fish Extender and you would like to join the late arrival fish extender please send me your cabin number, names of those in the cabin, ages of the children and if they are male or female. Another helpful thing to know is any allergeries. Keep a running list of this information and post it to the thread every so often. You as a group need to decide if you are going to give out the gifts on certain days or just as you want. You will also need a closing date. Some people make gifts and need to know how much to order or buy. Michelle probably has some other words of wisdom. You need someone that is organized and on top of things to do the job. Michelle has been awesome!!!

Welcome ajwaspooh!! I am still finishing up FE gifts for the kids and I would be happy to add your kids. I bought supplies in bulk and have supplies for 4 more kid items. I need your kids names though and a cabin # if you have it yet? You can personal message me.

Michelle, our thoughts are with you and your family.

Yea on the raccoons and hamster.

I finally found a dress. It is black; go figure. I was looking for something brighter but could not do it. Time is going by quickly. I still have yet to get plane tickets. I need to do this very soon.

Thanks Kim, I'm going now to check it out.

Mindi

Checked it out and of course I can't make any of it work. Oh well, I guess we will just drive. I mean with 7 of us going flying would be a significant increase in the price and I just don't if we justify it.

 

[kimmcbee]

Mindi-
I understand, 4 of us are driving down, and 2 flying because of school.. then we are all driving home together. wish we could all fly because that was nice, but not this year.

Well done on getting your tickets for MNSSHP. I have made up my mind as well that I will go, but I am going after the cruise. All going well, I will go on October 18th which will be our last evening in Florida. Payday will be a week from tomorrow and I will but my ticket then.

Michelle- Your family will be in my prayers today, I hope everything goes smoothly.
Except for a something I want to pick up at DTD for my SM, I am completely done shopping and ready to go. I need to find something to do with myself for the next month.
Corinna- I don't mind something homemade, I would welcome it.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Michelle, thinking good thoughts for you and your family tomorrow. FIL had his surgery a few years ago and was extremely nervous about it. After, though, he was so relieved to have the pain gone. He'd been going to Disney with us for years on a bad hip and the next time, though it wasn't but a few months later, he kept up with us just fine!

I finished our embarkation shirts yesterday! We ended up with the men wearing the ringer shirts (white with dk blue band around arms and neck) and women wearing v-neck white shirts. But we match and DH hasn't been grumbling and rolling his eyes too much! Trying to print up the transfers was fun. I did a test (on DDs undies...hee!) and confirmed that I had to print up a reverse image. So, I reversed it all and started printing. At one point, I discovered that there was a "transfer paper" setting on the printer options, so I selected it. Imagine my surprise when my reversed images printed out normally! My darn printer done got all "smart" on me. Luckily, I had a single extra sheet and everything else printed up correctly! Phew!

Today, I get to do a test of my Plan B for my magnets. The paper is too thick for the printers we have. I don't mind, since it's a stronger magnet, so I'm not worried about getting my money back from eBay or anything. But, I have to see how it goes using spray adhesive and gluing (glueing?) the paper to the magnet.

Kids start school Monday and it's DS' first day of Kindergarten. He knows all about the school, since he was there a few days a week last year, but it's still a momentous occassion! There's a meet 'n greet at the school tomorrow, so we'll get to meet his teacher (I don't know her well, since DD wasn't at that school for K). I'm so looking forward to some quiet time where Disney isn't on in the house (eek! forget I said that...that's blasphemy in our house!)

 

[kpflillirpf]

Howdy all! Doing a quick check in. Things started out slow this week but the end of the week so far has been kinda stressful. Hoping all will be over soon. Got a busy weekend and week ahead of me. Then Lil starts 2nd grade on the 31st. And then not much longer we'll be heading to BWI to fly to FL! Very cool. Well, not much more to share here. At least for now. Hee Hee Chat atcha all later!

Up early...staying at a hotel in Cleveland cause that is where dad is having surgery. About an hour and 20 minutes from home! Going down to have continental breakfast and then off to the hospital! He goes in at 11 or so .....thanks for all ur prayers!

TTFN

Yay you got yours!

Well, I haven't been on much because reality of my hectic life has set in (Terri can confirm) now that all three are in school and have homework, tennis, soccer and swim lessons (only Ashley is doing Tennis and Bailey swim lessons)I find myself with zero time! They all three have soccer practice on the same time and days which is immediately following Ashleys daily tennis practice (she's playing for her high school) then immediately followed up by Bailey's swim lessons. Most days I look like this...

When I was tucking Riley in to bed the other night we were doing the math and realized that we have less than six weeks until we leave. We are headed out of town on September 30th, so that makes it seem even closer, and at the same time panic is setting in that I'm not ready yet. I guess 18 months isn't enough time to prepare.

Well, off to another hectic day. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Just thought I would share what I just read on another thread...

[wareagle]

Michelle, glad to hear things went well with the surgery. We continue to pray for your dad as well as your family.

Hope everyone has a great Saturday. Two weeks of school completed for me. The boys are off to a good start. They are enjoying their classes and teachers.

We are celebrating Payton's b'day today (his actual b'day is not until Wed. the 26th). We are going to dinner and then to a baseball game. He is excited about having his friends go with him. I remembered at 8:55 last night to order his birthday cookie. I would have been in the dog house if I had forgotten.

Six weeks seems like so far away, yet I know it will pass quickly. The key word now is PATIENCE.
