Team Focker Watch: Lucky Number 13!

[tazdev3225]

Listen People in England speak perfect ENGLISH!!!Jo and I can't help that you americans slaughtered it !!!
The roads are often very twistee !! Rumor has it they tied a carrot in front of adonkey and whereevr he walked they made the road

I agree about the way we speak the language. My mom calls it American.

:
Good morning all. Nevr got the chance to check in yesterday. It was a long day with the funeral for my uncle.
Watched Cake Boss, hung out with neighbor on the porch for a bit and then headed to bed.

That sounded like a long day with the funeral and then back to work today.

I watched Cake Boss last night because I lived in Little Ferry for 2 years when I was little. I actually lived right up the street from the lake and his house was about 3 blocks away.

+++++++++++++++++++=
Morning all. I have been MIA for a few days. I checked on and off but was too tired to reply.
I haven't done much since the last time I was on. I didn't go to the ball game. Haven't made it to the pool because I would have had 4 kids 5 and under yesterday and today Mikey is sick. Have off from the kids for tomorrow and thursday and may go to the pool alone just to relax without them. Taking a mini vacation next week down the Jersey shore for a few days with friends. I will need a vacation after that. We have traveled with these friends the past few years and it wears my brain out.

Hope you all have a nice day.

Good Morning all !! Off to work soon !! Tonight I have to represent the Agency at "CRIME NIGHT"Not the best neighborhood ... but I assume the police will be there

Steph is babysiting Kyle, his friend Ethan and a 3 year oldSo far no BLOOD has been shed

I'm excited about my DC Dis meet next month !!!!I am driving with A Disser and meeting several others there !!We will be staying in Hagerstown for 2 nights !!

 

[DisneyJo]

That's good to know but if we're there 2 weeks, maybe we want to go somewhere else too?

Oh definitely but you may want to hire the car after the London part or choose a hotel on the outskirts so you don't need to drive in

Listen People in England speak perfect ENGLISH!!!Jo and I can't help that you americans slaughtered it !!!

:Good morning all. Nevr got the chance to check in yesterday. It was a long day with the funeral for my uncle. Since I wasn't really familiar with the area where the church was, I drove to my brothers house and rode with him and my sister in law. Becasue of that I had to leave my house at 7:30am to get there by 8:30 when needed to leave his house to get to the church by 9:00, which is when the viewing started. We got there at 9:25 Traffic was awful. The church was in NJ, but then the cenetary was in PA so that was another long drive. Then afterwards, there was a luncheon and that was back in NJ. I didn't get home until 4:30

What a pain the traffic sounded

Haven't made it to the pool because I would have had 4 kids 5 and under yesterday.

That sounds as though it would have been very hard work!

Yikes good luck!


I lost I was leading after 9 holes but I just lost the will to live Honestly I've played sooooo much golf I've had enough and didn't want another match to organise, not the right attitude huh

I need to tidy my house and pack

 

[PrincessV]

Morning! When the heck was I last here? It's been a bit, huh? Sending many virtual hugs all around, though.

Not a lot going on here. We once again got sucked into the vortex of Disney vacations... sort of. We've made a tradition of getting away for Thanksgiving week when I have Leo and tried to go somewhere other than Central FL this year, but failed. But I refuse to call it a "Disney" trip. We'll be off-site in a condo and we'll do some things that have nothing to do with Disney. Like Islands of Adventure. And maybe Gatorland. And outlet shopping. We're even breaking with the traditional 9 Dragons Thanksgiving dinner and going with Tutto! Yep, big changes ahead, big.

 

[englishrose47]

Jo Sorry you lost!!!!

V you are really branching out Tutto for Thanksgiving hmmmm

Dropping by to say, "Hello!"

Nothing very exciting is going on here. The girls are dancing constantly, and we're just hanging out having fun this summer. Next week we have a quieter week, then dance team camp starts the second week of August. That's when things will get nuts for us. It's always fun, though because the girls will find out what dances they are doing this year and learn them.

I hope everyon'es having a restful summer and making great memories!

Morning! Nothing new here. Just wanted to stop here first

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Hi girls! Busy Momma checking in!


Janet - so sorry to hear about your Uncle.

**********************************************************
Enjoying summer so far. The weather has sucked, but we made it to the beach a few times, which is surprising. T hates the beach. I hate sand and I hate ocean water. Put those things together and I'm miserable. But we did find this amazing beach in Laguna, called Crescent Bay, so it wasn't that bad.

This weekend we've got Evan's birthday party and I'm hoping it warms up. It's supposed to be a pool party, but like I said, the weather's been C-O-L-D. Even for me.

Waldo's not been feeling well, so he went to see his GP and was diagnosed with Angina. He'll see a cardiologist next month to see what needs to be done. Unfortunately he's allergic to nitro, so that type of treatment is out. We're hoping he'll just need angioplasty and be back to his "normal" self.

Anyway, I've got to get a jump on the cleaning - my house is outta control. Hope everyone is doing well. Anyone hear from Kristel? I hope Doug is doing better.

Later, Fockers!

Not restful, but lots of fun

To my Dad's for 2.5 weeks, D is coming for the weekend then back to work then up for a week

Have fun!

I know - what's next, Rose & Crown for Independence Day?!

Yep! Leo's getting very exciting about that.

Jim really wants to do this so it is definitely on the MUST do list the next time we go . You will definitely need to tell us all about it.

IOA tip(s) - If you are doing Jurassic Park, Popeyes Bilge Barge, and DUdley Do-RIght (All thumbs up here) bring poncho's or you will get SOAKED. The signed say you "may" get wet. DONT BELIEVE THEM!

Jimmy's favorite ride at IOA was Spiderman and the Cat In the Hat Ride. Spiderman VERY COOL, Cat in the Hat is along the lines of Pooh, but very cool if you are a Suess fan. They also enjoyed Circus McGurkus for lunch. The High in Sky Trolley rides through it!

Hi girls! Busy Momma checking in!

Janet - so sorry to hear about your Uncle.

Thanks T

T hates the beach.

You and me both. Jim likes it. Jimmy likes the sand, but hates the water. Needless to say we don't go

This weekend we've got Evan's birthday party and I'm hoping it warms up. It's supposed to be a pool party, but like I said, the weather's been C-O-L-D. Even for me.

Give Evan our biggest Birthday wishes

Unfortunately he's allergic to nitro, so that type of treatment is out. We're hoping he'll just need angioplasty and be back to his "normal" self.

Good thoughts for Waldo.

Anyone hear from Kristel? I hope Doug is doing better.

You know what, no. I hope everything is okay

+++++++++++++++++

60's !!!! If preferred rooms would be super close to Hippy Hoppy Pool and Classic Hall if standard a tiny bit further . Mowgli bldg is very nice !!

 

[PrincessV]

Yes! You say that like it's a bad thing, lol!

Oh please, video tape it. We will figure out a way to cut out the other kids!

Done! But it's really awful quality and I'm not sure if I can embed it...

Yesterday we signed Jimmy up an additional week of camp. He is going the week of 8/23. He is very excited because it is photography week and Knex/Legos week:yay

:
Sounds like fun!

I'm clueless on Pop, but excited for her!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wow. The talent show was... interesting. LOL! Fun, though. Some acts were great, others... weren't. But Leo's group ROCKED their Grease routine! I can't get the video to post here, but it's awful quality anyway. Will you settle for a picture?! (Video IS on FB, though.)

Depends if they want to be close to the main building then the 70's (Big Wheels). If they don't mind a little bit of a walk the 50's are nice, but we REALLY liked the 80's. (Rubiks Cube). You have to walk to the busses, to the main building, and the hippy dippy pool.... BUT it is quiet.

Request 3rd of 4th floor (and a corner room if you can, they are a bit bigger) not facing the pool. They have elevators in the center of each building so steps shouldn't be an issue.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Good morning! Working from home today, but wanted to check in and say hi! Got most of the work done last night. Want to finish up and then we are taking Jimmy to Dave and Busters for lunch and some fun.

Tomorrow we are going to have his friend Matt all day (and night) so we are going to take them to a place called Smith Playground in Fairmount Park. It is a mansion that was deeded to this foundation as a permenant playground for kids. He just reopened after several years of refurbishment. Here is a link if anyone wants to check it out.http://smithkidsplayplace.org/ The best part is it is FREE

After that we will probably take them to blockbuster and let them pick out a movie or two to watch in the evening.

Hope you all have a great day and a great weekend

 

[jcc0621]

Yes! You say that like it's a bad thing, lol!

We'd be in shorts in that weather

Love it and will check out the video later!
