GOOD AFTERNOON!!!!!

Gina! You have really been busy!! The set is beautiful, Jenna is adorable and Jacob's castle is FABULOUS!! WOW! I don't think I could have came up with something like that! My first thought was to head for the legos!

Not much to report....Steve got his bonus today...FINALLY....so we'll be paying off the cruise and booking our flights just as soon as the check clears at the bank!!!

Oh! I did get a "panic" phone call from Jennifer today. Apparently, there is a stomach virus going around school that has left 10 - 12 teachers out and 40 some kids checked out today. I am not sure that ALL those kids were sick. How many were checked out in "panic" mode?? Anyway, I called Connor's teacher on her cell and asked what the sitch was. She said it was true that there were a lot of teachers out, but she was fine and that she sent 2 kids home yesterday and the one boy that didn't come in today was a teacher's son...who was also out today. She said that since they are in a portable, they have the luxery of only 2 classes sharing the bathroom and that they are being very diligent in cleaning it and making sure the kids are washing thier hands. I told her, I just can't have Steve getting sick. Can you imagine if he were to start vomiting and loose stools? HELLO! He'd be in the hospital for sure! Anyway, I left him at school, didn't sign him out. Although, he is asking to stay home tomorrow. We, as a family, CAN'T let him stay home. We've already got the letter in the mail from the BOE saying he has missed too many. The BOE "probably" won't close school tomorrow because we have already maxed out our snow days. If the kids don't go everyday left, the school loses money. However, they can't afford to keep the kids there either, as they are dropping like flies!! Pink Eye is also running rampent down the kindergarten hall!! Nice, huh??

Gonna make burgers on the grill tonight. I just hope the weather holds out! As Eyeore says, "Looks like rain".

OMG!!!!!! I would be freaking out! I hope the boys don't get sick Michele! or else you're going to have to lock Steve up in a room where the boys can't go into LOL hope everything works out!
 
I am you??

Are you going to be home tonight?? I'll call you so we can figure out the last minute details??!!!!!!!!!!
Any chance that anyone is going to Hard Rock???:rolleyes1

I hope everyone is having a great day!!!
We're waiting for a couple of Meagan's friends to get here and then we are leaving to get our mani's and pedi's!!!!
Meagan just screamed!!!! She is on the other computer and she found out this boy she likes has been accepted to her school next semester!!! She is literaly bouncing in her seat squealing because he will be at the same school as her!!!!! Teenagers!!! LOL
 
OMG!! You guys are too funny. Everytime I check in we are on a new thread.:lmao:

I have an unrelated question: for those of you who stay at SSR, how is the experience?

I'm planning a trip in Oct. (while we are cruising:thumbsup2) for my brother, SIL and 2 boys, 9 and 7. This is their first WDW trip - in fact, it's their first trip anywhere. They are total newbs so I want their trip to be magical. They are somewhat on a budget but don't want to stay in the values. I talked to them about renting points and they are cautiously interested.

So I'm looking for points for them and I have a feeling that SSR might be all that's available.

Any of you DVCers willing to help me sen this young family on a dream trip?

Thanks!:flower3:
That means you need to check in more often!!! :rotfl2: :lmao: Oh wait, it might mean that you have a real life!!!!:lmao: :rotfl: :rolleyes1

About this DVC points thing. Is renting points the only way to stay at a DVC resort, or can you just "book a room" in a resort??

You can just book a DVC room if there is availability, but rack rate is very high!!! A 1 bedroom at the BWV in October is around $500 per night I believe. Renting points works out to be MUCH cheaper.
 
Allen,

I love the photo and with my pic. in the background you for sure score points for that one...LOL!!!!!!!! If we are near there then I will for sure get you one. Not sure where we are going for sure yet. I am going to google it to see where it is..!!!!!!!!!
 
It's official! Jenna gave her Panama presentation today as her last assignment for 2nd grade. She is going to miss the last two weeks of school.

This time tomorrow we will be at SSR and getting ready to board the boat Saturday for our trip through the Panama Canal.

We will be much more "vocal" when we return.

Our friends that our going with us the on this cruise told us the other day "Only 157 more days"!
 
Allen, that photo was toooo funny!! I hope the ladies will pull through for you!

Kristin, I am sure you are happy that Bruce is home! However, I bet Bruce wishes he wasn't! The man no sooner gets home and you've got him hauling mulch!! :lmao:

Candy, have fun with the girls tonight!!

gouodux...ENJOY the cruise!!!! Can't wait to see the photos when you return!

We are just sitting here making our final plans for the cruise! and watching the Indians beat the Yankees!!
