Hi all-
Haven't posted in a few days. Been busy catching up on some emails and other things going on at home. My kids also play on the computer, which we only have 1 computer, never bought a laptop yet DH says too expensive to buy a laptop right now.


Hi Mac and everyone

Damo- enjoyed the pics of your son and his girlfriend
They make a lovely couple!
Congrats on his graduation!
I know, silly comment, but he looks Italian. Are you guys Italian? I'm full 100% Italian


Marciemi- enjoyed your pics a few pages back of Mirror Lake, Mount Olympus and Noah's Ark! Last time we went to the Dells(summer of 2005), we went to Noah's Ark for the first time and really liked it! Never been to Mt.Olympus
amusement park, but I get a ton of those WisDells emails w/ the discount
codes to stay at certain hotels/ resorts at the Dells. I get a few of the emails that if you stay at a certain resort next or near to Mt. Olympus, you get the discount tix to Mt. Olympus. Probably why it's so crowded there.


Loribell- enjoyed the pics of the snakes. I don't care for snakes or any reptiles or bugs in general. yuck! I do enjoy pics, tho.

wwessing- My kids don't know and haven't gotten into Webkins yet.
I've heard of them but I don't know much about them, other than the webkin characters talk on the internet of some sort?
Where in the Chicago area do you live?

Hope all that are at UO are having a great time!

Great pics, damo. Wish I looked half as good as his date at my prom. Does anyone else cringe at the sight big 80s hair and poofy sleeves and crinoline slips when looking at their prom pics? Yee gads. It was a wonder I had a date at all.....

Amen to that! I couldn't agree more!

Damo-you sure did make a pretty baby! His girlfriend is gorgeous! I should hunt up a pic of DD's prom, she was a sophomore but went with a jr. 2 more years and then I'll just have one in school, and he'll just be going into 1st grade lol

Here's how old I am-my prom dress had a hoop skirt and I carried a parasol. I looked like I belonged on top of a wedding cake. Those pics are under lock and key in the attic

It's cloudy and muggy here this morning and I guess I should start on a pre trip report and start repacking the suitcase, but I can't get motivated

Morning everyone.

We made it through yesterday without rain until about 9 last night. Woke up to rain this morning. Yep, it is now 17 days in a row with rain. The wheat harvest that was going to be so good for DH's cousin is done. They won't be able to get the rest of it in before it is ruined. They got in a little more than half of it.

It's good to see you Rose. Hope all is going well.

Hey Tracie can we come up to swim? Hmm, might be cheaper to just swim here. With all the rain we can probably swim in the yard!

Hey Holly, you sound like me. When my oldest graduated from high school I had a 1 yo in the stands with me. The oldest has graduated college and has been teaching for 3 years now. She even has a 3 yo of her own. My youngest is now 8.

Well, talk to you all later. I'm taking the youngest & 2 of her friends to see Nancy Drew this afternoon.

I think everyone should post their prom pics here!!!

To all those with little ones left at home....I'm jealous!!!

DH & I were flipping around channels last night, and guess what was on? Jurassic Park.

Awesome, right? You betcha

Guess what channel it was on?

AMC, American Movie Classics, the channel I used to lovingly refer to as "the black and white channel."

While I'm thrilled JP has made it to "classic" status, sure made us both feel old to see it on the channel we usually watch Wuthering Heights on.

Believe it or not, I didn't go to prom!

Do they count as "little ones" if they're bigger than us? I'll be glad to share a moody, depressed 15-year-old (because his girlfriend's at Disney right now for 10 days and the day before they get back we leave for Michigan for 8 days!). Any volunteers?

I'll trade you one 16 year old girl that just bleached her hair white and is now threatening to be homeschooled until her hair grows back AND I'll even throw in the 4 year old who thinks it's incredible fun to pee on the linen shower curtain in his bathroom. Deal??

 

[damo]

Believe it or not, I didn't go to prom!

Neither did I but it sure would be fun to see everyone else!

 

[Holly Goheavy]

The Mummy is on SciFi channel Friday night. Gettin ready for Imhotep...

 

[tropical depression]

I'll even throw in the 4 year old who thinks it's incredible fun to pee on the linen shower curtain in his bathroom. Deal??

I don't at what age that stops sounding like fun, but I can tell you it's not 37.

It's cloudy and muggy here this morning
I guess I should start on a pre

Well, it would be a change of pace at least! I'll take the 4 year old to have some one littler than me to boss around (although I still outweigh the 15 year old - not that that's exactly a good thing ). After dealing with DS's girlfriend over the last several months, I think the last thing I want is a 16 year old girl though - I'd end up taking everything out on her that DS takes out on me because his GF takes out on him - follow?

Mac - it's a balmy 67 in this neck of the woods too. DS12 had a golf tourney up in Crivitz this morning and it was COLD - he was in pants and a windbreaker, but a whole lot of shivering kids in shorts and short sleeves! Still, it's an improvement over the 90-whatever we had 2 days ago, don't you think?

No flippin way ... mine are shredded and burned. Yes, they are THAT bad.

 

[yankeepenny]

my still hurting been 8 weeks &^@#$%!)% toe for

Count yourself lucky- it's been rainy non-stop here and parts of england and n. ireland are really badly flooded- what happened to the summer we saw a few weeks ago!
