October 11-18, 2008 Disney Magic Parrothead Pirates in Paradise Chapter 11

I'm more like you. When we travel, I have every minute planned, every meal reserved, etc.

I am not quite THAT bad... LOL! But I do like to have some idea what we are doing each day... Palo is reserved for our adult times, we have our trips reserved, and when we do WDW we play it a little more by ear. I reserve one adult meal for the trip, and one character meal, the rest we play by ear....

Absolutely you are a good mother! You do realize first of all that staying in and recovering her (and your!) health is an important priority...

2nd of all, pizza is a wonderful food! It has something from all of the food groups! Diary, grains, meats, fruits and veggies... in fact, it is a perfect food! LOL! Feel better now?

As for exciting days... I am playing around online trying to decide on how I want my haircut to be next week... going to do something different with it for the first time in... MANY MANY years. Patty (good friend and hair stylist) said that since it is "virgin hair" as in never permed or dyed she can donate it! I am SO pleased about that... (it is currently nearly waist length, going closer to shoulder length!).

hows that for exciting? The boys are arguing with each other, Sean feels icky still, Kaj is being the mean big BOTHER, and Brian has retreated into his inner sanctum.

I might just go take a hot bath....

wow goodluck getting your hair done! I'm sure it will look great!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not joking. I hate not knowing exactly what we are going to be doing. I think what I hate is spending actual vacation time trying to decide what to do. Plus, I think you miss some of the best things by not planning ahead.

Hey guys! We're back from Labor Day vacation. Just went to a local resort and swam a lot and had good food. It was kind of cramped with 2 little kids and 2 adults in the room....got us to thinking how tiny it will be for the 4 of us in a Cat 11. Oh well. Motivation to stay out of the cabin and play, play, play.

Exciting Hurricane weather ahead. Hope everyone stays safe. No telling what Oct will hold.

Gail and Heidi,
What we mean by a Mystery Cruise is....with the hurricane season in full swing, sometimes ships cannot follow the itinerary they have planned. We are "scheduled" to go to St Marten and St Thomas, however, if the Islands receive a lot of damage or weather does not permit docking, we'll go on to somewhere else. Unfortunately, that means that Castaway Cay might take a beating too, and if it's not ready to take on passengers, then we might be stuck at sea another day OR docking somewhere else! Hence, where we go might be a mystery!!! As of right now, I am hoping our itinerary stays the same since we have never been to either Island, but if we end up elsewhere, then that just gives us another reason to booko another cruise!!!! LOL

Okay, Connor and Steve are off to practice, and I "started" to clean, but didn't get very far. It seems no one can get anything done without me!

 

[TexasGirl]

You are right. We were just using that term today as we were driving home. That our cruise might end up a "mystery cruise" and become a Western, etc.

 

[pinkygirl]

You did it! Congratulations on beating out that sneaky pirate Allen! LOL!

LOL Thanks Heidi........I wasn't even trying!!!

I DON'T like Ike! Ugh....this is not looking gooooood!!!!!!

Got the upstairs as clean as it's going to get tonight. LOL It's livable again, although, it REALLY needs dusting...not going to happen. I did put our shirts in the suitcase!! Does this mean I have officially started packing?? Time to finish downstairs.

Hi everyone!

TIme for my every 3 week check-in!

Have been busy as always. Can't wait for cruise time but we have something every 2 weeks until then.
2 weeks from now we go to Kalahari water park in Sandusky, Ohio for 1 night. DD won a gift card from the summer reading program at the library. Two weeks after that is DD's 6th birthday party and then 2 weeks after that we have the cruise.
Now, I just need to get magnetic printer paper so I can print out our door magnets .
The FE exchange stuff arrived and I have to sort through that.

Since we home school, 1st grade has been keeping us busy.

Hi Nita!!!!!!!!! glad you had fun!!!!!!!!! got any pictures????????

No, we didn't take the camera. It was out of batteries. Mostly would just be kids floating around.

One super thing...DS did great on his potty training. It was kind of a dry run on how he'd do on the big vacation/cruise and he was perfect. No accidents. Not to be gross, he would even let us know when he had to go when he was swimming and would get out like a big boy and do his thing in the rest room. Think he's ready for the Mickey Pool and Oceaneers Club.

So....school and work tomorrow. Labor Day weekend flew by quick!
