Team Focker Watch Chat - in the 11th Hour

[askelton]

OK, I"m doing planning. Which side of Innoventions has all the new cool stuff (Waste Management, etc) East or West.

The one with Storm whatever? On the left as you're walking in.

completely forgetting about the liquid cucumber proceeding to dry - until the moment the paper towel touched my cheek...

And so my friends, I'm off to peel...and to plan...

Oh, and I think we broke the dog. He jumped off the boat yesterday after D (he's becoming really ridiculously worried when D's in the water)

Oh no! I hope he's alright. It's funny Reid is the same way when we're swimming. He gets very upset when someone swims underwater, but he'll go under water to swim.

Have a really busy week this week, it's Ellie's last week at her school so she has lots going on. Monday is her show in the evening, Tuesday she's going bowling followed by BBQ and water fight. I'm playing in a golf cup followed by conference call and taking E to dancing. Wednesday is our anniversary and Jess is going into London to the Natural History Museum with the school, we then have to pick her up before going out for a meal. Thursday is Jess's Birthday and Ellie has her leavers disco in the evening. Friday morning is Ellie's leavers service then she has a sleepover party and Jess is going to a friends too. Then mid morning Saturday I'm dropping the girls at David's work before going to my friends golf course to play her invitation then we're all going (in separate cars) up to Suffolk to stay with my Dad. D is staying till Monday, me till the following Saturday and the girls for 3 weeks

No kidding!



Still watching the Tour. Today's the last day in the Pyrenees, love the mountains. Next week... the Alps.

First, HOLY COW Jo! I'm exhausted reading all that! Whoa. Have a good time with your dad though. How nice.

LL: Yay! Good for you, planning. That makes me feel *almost* as good as GOING to Disney. Almost.....
Your mask story killed me! LMBO!

CE: Sorry you broke Linus. That boat sounds fun but tons of work. Not exactly a "relaxing" weekend activity! Enjoy your alone time.

Kat: The underwear guy cracked me up. At least he had the body for it....
You guys look like you had a great time.

Who'd I miss?
Well, last night I had Sheila and Peggy over for pizzas (homemade), salad and we had brownies for dessert. Sheila brought bloody marys and they were YUMMY! We watched He's Just Not That Into You. It was cute. I really enjoy spending time with those two girls, though. They make me laugh so hard that my sides hurt.
NotBob emailed me to say he climbed Mt. Fuji and that he's exhuasted. He couldn't stay awake to call me. LOL He'll call me tonight sometime.

Well, today we're going to the 4H Fair. It's the last day so we're out of time. Gus wants to go see the bunnies at the show. It's a day, I guess. I have TONS of laundry to do and he's having a friend spend the night tomorrow night. At least it will be a relaxing day.

Hope you're all well.

I had a great day. KC was off again. I was up early and watched Confessions of a Shopaholic (it was OK) and then KC woke up and said "get dressed we are going to Coney Island!" So off we went!

Sounds like you had a great time. The Cyclone looks scary!

Our worst fashion victim of the day. KC pretended to take my pic. What was he thinking?????

. We are still going tho! [/QUOTE}

You guys are too funny. I told them about your comments on them working together and they said to say that they act like that all the time, even when not together.

Happy Saturday my Focker Friends!! Aaahhhh...Saturday night...

Hi LL

completely forgetting about the liquid cucumber proceeding to dry - until the moment the paper towel touched my cheek...

But in between all this...I dug out....the binder....

Yes, THE binder...

The binder that contains the most valuable information and paperwork I have....well, ok - I do have a box for the other important stuff...you know...the birth certificates...the marriage license...things you DON'T want to lose....coughcoughcough...

Sorry - something stuck in my throat there...

This very binder I have not opened since I returned from our November trip. Perhaps for fear of juju...I don't know, but I finally opened it....

Oh, and I think we broke the dog.

Poor thing

Errr can't remember But some of the new stuff is meant to be awesome and definitely worth taking the time to do!

THanks Disney Mom

I forgot to tell you all I lost my golf match on Friday I played well though and better than I'm meant too it was a good match so I can't really complain!

But I knew this. DI dyou post it on FB

The sleepover went fine, the girls are all gone now. They didn't keep me awake but I'm shattered for some reason. I did wake up to find 2 of the girls had drawn all over themselves and thank fully didn't get any on my sofas. But I did think it was a bit rude going in my drawer and taking the pens also one of the pens was my expensive caligraphy pen (one that does fancy writing) but it looks fine thank goodness!

Why? What were they thinking?

The girls have their youth group BBQ in a little while, parents can go too but they don't want us too, yep we're loved

Wednesday is our anniversary

Mine and Jims too!

The one with Storm whatever? On the left as you're walking in.

Yes, Thanks!

==================================================

Not much on the genda for today. Mostly . Jim did the grocery shopping on Friday so I don't have to do that. It's a nice day here, so Jimmy may want to go in his pool or under the sprinkler or something.

I will probably do some more planning. I figured out 10 days out--I'm going to try the online check in. I'm gonna shop around for rental cars. I already have one booked, but someone told me prices will drop as the trip gets closer, so it can't hurt to look.

I will check in later. Hope everyone has a great day

A freind who can make you laugh is the best kind

Aw, poor guy. All this traveling must really screw with his body clock. Mt. Fuji sounds cool though. Did he take pics

I don't have much laundry this week for some reason I gues becasue Jimmy has spent most of the week in a bathing suit.

THe Fair sounds like a fun, as long as it's not too hot out.

 

[DisneyJo]

No kidding!

I know I've had to write it all down Enjoy the Tour De France did you know I went and watched it a few years ago when it came through England? We waited hours and they were past in seconds

First, HOLY COW Jo! I'm exhausted reading all that! Whoa. Have a good time with your dad though. How nice.

I know

Went for a long walk and picked the girls up, they had a nice time. We're now just chilling and I'm hoping at least Jess will have a little sleep!

 

[Hedy]

========================================

Thanks to V and T I subscribed to Ridemax. Let me tell you this thing Rocks! If it works as promised I think this may our most stress vacation yet

I have my third load of laundry in the washer. So while I have been doing that I have planned out all of our days for WDW portion of the trip. I have made my mousekeeping envelopes, thanks to Tracy (MrsK) - she is a wonder with the computer and graphics.

My next task is to start on the packing lists for me and Jimmy! I'm on a roll baby

Good Morning!

So last night I went down to see the Fire Show which is part of the yearly Buskers Festival held here in town. I went with Alek, Erich and Erich's friend Jessie who just showed up at the house as we were leaving so we felt it rude not to invite him.

It was quite fun and entertaining, it is crazy what people will do with fire. The grand finale had a bit of excitement when one of the performers on a flaming pogo stick lost balance causing him to crash into two fire jugglers and then he and his flaming stick landed right on the edge of the crowd.

In this act the one guy is juggling fire and his partner then take a running leap over his head and snatches all of the fire sticks from the air. Very impressive!

Here's some video I took:

Hi Fockers,

Lazy Sunday here, I have all three pugs

Just saw LL's binder, OMG why am I not surprised That thing is great!

Kat - I thought Astroland was closing, some sort or redevelopment was going on? Did that not happen?

So Murph has this thing that takes old slides and loads them to your PC. She is thinking of going to Israel again. Mom, Dad and me went in 79. Here's in 7th grade:

With Dad, like the Dorothy Hamill haircut

With Murph and some Israeli soldiers

Not sure what's up with my attitude

Mom wants to show this one to the foot doctor, I loved my Candy Clogs!

We took the kids to the Drive-in theater last night - such fun! I haven't been to one in years. They're pretty much obsolet here, save for the one we went to. It was a great/cheap family night ($17 ). I picked up a pizza and a bunch of goodies to munch on whilst we watched Ice Age 3 and Night at the Museum/Smithsonian. Evan and I curled up in the back of the SUV and fell asleep during the 2nd movie.


Sorry, peeps, I only read the last 2 pages.... here's what I remember:

Jo - Sounds like a busy week! Glad the party went well! Happy belated Birthday to David!


Lessa - Awesome pics! Looks like fun!

Mo - Nice 'do, sister!

Kat - OMG, that banana hammock pic was hilarious!

Janet - I told you Ridemax would curl your toes!

Deb - I did read about your old boss. He sounds like an *******. Good riddance. What a tool.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

 

[puggymom]

Hi Mo

Sounds fun and I'm pleased you weren't near the fire bit!

Jess had a nice long nap this afternoon, she so needed it, Ellie didn't though she went swimming in the neighbours paddling pool

Me too.


****************
We're back from the 4H Fair in record time. We even stopped for ice cream on the way home. The animals were all cute! I took pics, which I'll load on FB.

It was scorching in the sun though. Of course I forgot to put on sunscreen (on my arms) so they're burnt. Oh well. Not too bad, and thank goodness the boys were DONE with the fair in under 90 mins. The crowds, the dust, the game theives and they're YELLING at you to come play, the crazy looking ex-con carnival ride operators....you know the crowd..... Blech.

They've gone off for a bike ride around the neighborhood though, so I can enjoy the quiet for a minute. SD is having a friend over tonight. I am having left overs for dinner so that's easy. That's about it.
