Happy Memorial Day all!

mac - hope everything is going ok - you guys are in my thoughts and prayers - pm me if you need anything!!!

barb - just price things to sell, like stuffed animals for 50 cents, clothes for a 1.00 or 3.00 for name brand items. GOOD LUCK!!!

lori - glad to see you back around - the lotion is working WONDERFULLY for Court! Who would have thought I need your address, so can you pm it to me??

marciemi - CONGRATS on the 19th anniversary!!!! Sounds like you guys had a wonderful mini getaway and dinner!!!

I put our pool up on Friday and the kids (well at least the younger 2 beans) have been in it all weekend so far. The water was a bit cold on Saturday, but much better yesterday. Its one of those above ground pools that you put the water in and it rises on its own, kwim? It is 15'around X 42" inches deep (I think) and they wanted to use their boogie boards in the pool yesterday - I said "hey where do you think you are? this isn't like the HRH pool you know!!" They got a kick out of that!

We had a really wicked lightning show right overtop of us last night and guess who is terrified of lightning??!! Yea.....me!!! It was kinda funny trying to keep the kids calm when I was shaking in my flip flops!!!

HOpe everyone is having a great weekend and I will catch you all a bit later!!

Well, no Memorial Day up here but heck, I don't really work anyways, so it doesn't matter. Hope you guys all have a great day!!!

Hugs and kisses, Mac. Hope today is better!

[bubba's mom]

Morning all....happy holiday..... Don't forget to take a sec and REMEMBER ALL WHO HAVE DIED FOR US TO HAVE THIS DAY vets!

Thanks for the advice y'all about yardsalein' ..... i was goin' thru Bubba's clothes last nite and 99% of 'em are in really good condition. No stains or pulls/pilling, etc.... and, yes, quite a few name brands in there too! Whatever doesn't sell, I'm donating...so, either way, this stuff is NOT going back up in my attic!

hey Tracie....that WAS a wicked storm last nite, huh? We got it thru here early evening.... but, i didn't have to water any plants last nite either I do believe there was a lightening in the back field behind our house...it was 'bright' and 'loud' too! (i jumped it scared me)

Since we spent the day rippin' apart the attic, nobody felt like cooking yesterday....just threw burgers/dogs on the grill. Last nite i marinated ribs, so we're having baked potato & corn on the cob w/ them tonite....

marci....sounds like you all had a wonderful time...and no, i've never heard of anyone winning a BIKE! How excited your DS must be! (and Happy Anniversary to you and Mr. marci )

DM--still waiting on that TR...please let me know when it's dun

mac.....hope you're having a "good" day.... (and you finally managed to get some sleep!) ...try to enjoy the day w/ the family.....

well, off to continue pricing yard sale stuff.....
(here's a pic DH took of me starting to sort last nite..down in our family room..& yes, I do have a sofa, loveseat and weight bench down there..you just can't see them! )

 

[damo]

oh my.

 

[tlinus]

WHOA NELLY!!!!

Good Luck with the yardsale - there is NO WAY any of that stuff would make it back into your attic.....betcha ya got ALOT of room up there now, huh??

P.S. - love the Flyers thing AND the shot glass collection on the walls!!

 

[loribell]

Hey everybody! Happy Memorial Day to you all!

marci - Congrats on the 19 years. Wow, that is great about the bike! Sounds like you all had a great time. I will get those rattlesnake pics up as soon as I remember to get a new cable to hook my camera up to the computer. I will get an email to you asap!

tracie - so glad the lotion is helping bean #2. I have been thinking about bean #1, how are things going for her at school? I hope things have gotten better for her. They get out of school the end of this week don't they? Mine got out last Friday.

mac - I hope things are getting better and you are getting some sleep now.

I think we are grilling steaks tonight.

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone! You guys are really great!

 

[bubba's mom]

P.S. - love the Flyers thing AND the shot glass collection on the walls!!

i told ya's we had a LOT! ---and, NO, NONE of it is going back up!

thanks...the Flyers thing is pics of DH and the Flyers Alumni when he played ice hockey w/ his guys against the Flyers Alum team. He's got pix w/ some of the old famous guys and i took those pix and the program and tickets and "scrapbooked" that "poster-size" display for him. (That room is turning into his hockey room soon...he even wants to display the autographed sticks on the wall)

nice of you to notice....i didn't think anyone would look THAT closely....but then again, i forgot who i was showin

looks like you are selling the stroller.........guess bubba outgrew it.
i hung on to lots of baby and children things once.

put an ad in the paper that said, "Everything But the Baby yard sale"

i sold everything as everyone came just for baby and kid stuff.
unloaded the cribs, walker, bassinets, clothes, toys, etc and made $900 on it.
anything left i gave to the Purple Vets organization. they came a week later to pick it all up.

 

[bubba's mom]

yep mac...considering DS is tall enuf to ride Hulk & DD, he has, in fact, outgrown the stroller

every year our development and the neighboring/connected development have a yardsale the first Sat. of June. NOrmally, i'm at DH's company picnic, but this year, picnic is the next Sat...so, we are finally home a year to participate they DO advertise in the 2 adjoining towns' papers...altho i like the phrase "Everything BUT the baby"

and like you mac, what don't sell, is either trash or donated!

well, better keep at it.....

 

[bubba's mom]

btw....just came across MR. Potato Head anyone want him? I wonder if the Disney peeps are ticked cuz they came out w/ a Spiderman costume for Mr. Head ......

 

[macraven]

bubba's mom, i need your help.
send me the link to the Where are YOu thread so i can post that frapper map on the hhn thread i started some weeks back.

someone named phil mentitoned about one of those maps for the dis.

i thought i could start a thread for those that will attend HHN and they could post where they are coming from with the push button and they do a regular post for that site on the dates they are coming to hhn.


i can't find the thread you started in the UO forums.

but then, i can't focus and need help from you if i can.

or if anyone can post that old thread link of where are you would help me.

DH & I at Benihana's celebrating our anniversary, wearing our appropriate DIS colors!

DS12 riding the Segway for the first time:

Still got to take a pic of the bike!

Hi all- Happy Memorial Day to all!

Last evening, we went to an indoor pool party- it was for the kids.
Today we went to Woodfield Mall so DH can buy at least part of his birthday present- some polo shirts for work. His birthday isn't until Thursday.
Also stopped at Game Stop(used to be called EB Games) to use the last of a giftcard to buy DD a nintendo DS game she has been wanting for awhile.
We also stopped at this new store called Cub's Clubhouse. Has all this Chicago Cubs merchandise in it and shirts, etc. Didn't buy anything there tho, just looking around in the store.
Unfortunately, didn't go into the Disney Store (or is that fortunately we didn't go there) I wish they would have a Nickelodeon store or Universal store in malls. If there is one, it isn't in Woodfield I know there is some kind of Nickelodeon store somewhere in downtown Chicago, I think on Michigan Ave. Forgot to check out the new DVC store that is supposed to open in the next couple of months in Woodfield. Oh well.


marciemi- Congratulations on your wedding anniversary!
Glad you enjoyed Benihana's! and Great America, too!
Congrats on your DS winning the bike, that's awesome

bubba's mom- happy early garage sale! Lot's of stuff to go thru

Hi to everyone else

Gotta get the kids' stuff ready for school tomorrow
