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.

yes I think Ike should go back home!!!! LOL

and I would say that yes putting shirts in a suitcase qualifies as starting to pack

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 Denine!!!!!!! good to see you!

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!

congrats on the potty training!!! that's great that he knew it was time to go LOL

Ahhhhhh!!! I am never going to get all my chores done! LOL I went out to water my flowers and the neighbor caught me and started asking about who I use for my lawn? ah? ME? LOL so we talked about that, then she was showing me her peach, apple and pear trees. Before I knew it, she had the ladder out and I was up picking fruit! LOL Now I have a HUGE bowl of fruit I am not sure what I am going to do with! Had I got this yesterday, I would have make a cobbler for the party today. Maybe I'll have time to do something with it tomorrow!

going to make some burgers for my budding football star!!

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!

Okay, now this makes sense. I wouldn't mide mystery this way. I thought you guys meant to book a cruise not knowing where it was going until you pulled up to the ports. Now I would never do that, unless someone else was paying.

I already miss Shauna. Has anyone heard from her?

Hey Allen, be honest, were you lurking when we hit #2000?

I dont know, it might be kinda fun to book a mystery cruise of that sort too... they could come up with some fun theme's to go along with it perhaps. Not feeling my most creative right now... but I can imagine that it could be interesting to have some surprises happen of that sort!

When you got off the ship, what direction would you go in? How would you have any idea what was offered or how to get there or how long it would take?

the cruise directors would have to have something in place....say the next stop was St Marten....have 4 different stations set up throughout the ship to let people pick excursions and have information available. It could be done and might be fun!! If worse came to worse, staying on ship is not all that bad either! LOL

This could be done, but it's not for me.

Staying on the ship isn't a bad idea. On our last cruise, we stopped at costa Maya, Mexico. We didn't plan an excursion and planned to just do some shopping. We weren't impressed with what was available and were back on the ship less than two hours after getting off. We had a blast. Merkie spend most of the day in the pool. From time to time another child would come along for a while, but for the most part she had the pool to herself.

I think a mystery cruise sounds like fun!!!

Evening all. Just got back from TGIFridays for our anniversary dinner. Anyone ever try their Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie???? Oh yum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steve and Matthew are out driving now. I am trying to cope with the thought of school starting tomorrow, I am not ready for that yet. No fun.
And it's going to get cold this week, high of 70 by Wed. I'm not sure if anyones jeans even fit. I'm having a heck of a time finding any for Alexa.
