Team Focker Watch - v.9 in which all great mysteries shall be revealed

Me and Mo

I miss Mo!

This weeks photography class is on landscapes. I enjoyed walking through the park looking at things in a new way.

Isn't it amazing how much more you "see" through the camera's lens?!

After actually getting Jim to agree to look at Menu's and help me actually decide something :, you may all take a moment to take that in) We have decided on the following meals for our trip...in no particular order

Chef Mickey's - Dinner
Kona - Breakfast
Crystal Palace - Lates Lunch seating or earliest dinner seating
Capt. Jack's - Dinner
50's Prime Time - Lunch
Garden Grill - DInner
Boma - Dinner

Not planning any TS for AK day. We always do (look away T) Pizzafari for lunch and then swimming and dinner at the hotel on this day. AK is always an energy drainer for us.

So, what do you all think!?

I like it! We're planning GG again, too.

Looks good. Well, except Garden Grill. I'm afraid to try that place. My Dbro loved it, yet Andy and Waldo hated it.

We LOVE it! It's not fancy food, but good and fresh.

Now Capt. Jack's doesn't appeal to me in the least.

It wasn't on my radar, but we stumbled in last Dec. and had a really nice lunch. Their crab cakes were super, as was the Bloody Mary with which I washed them down!

I forgot to mention that because of the AI opening yesterday, Ryan Seacrest, Justin Guarini , and someone else were at MGM today. I may have seen them, but I don't know what they look like. Apparently other people were impressed though.

Johnny Depp was there, too!

The damage wasn't as bad as we thought.

I'm so glad!

We don't celebrate Valentine's Day. I'm off to catch up on chores.

Ditto for me Kate. Only, Gramma appears to have bought me a Valentine's present. I haven't opened it yet.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Morning! I'm marinating hair color and have to go rinse it out in a few. Otherwise, I'll probably hang around the house today. Spent last evening with my friend (Char, form my old TRs), drinking a few Cosmos and being silly. T, we were on FB - I should have popped over here to find you! Hope you're feeling okay this morning.

It does sound like she's talking to Sarabeth and trying to help. Maybe I just want to think the best of people. Anyway, yes, I think she, or you, should talk to the teachers again, but it doesn't sound so bad to me. She listened when there were people that Sarabeth said she didn't want to be closer to, the boys aren't on the list... I'm trying to look on the bright side! Good luck.

Katt I have to agree with CE, I've been through similar with both girls, there are always nasty kids and if SB has a couple of good friends, which it sounds like she has, then she's very lucky

When we got home, I realized I did not put the alarm on AND the back door was unlocked. I didn't tell dh.

Whoops, I did that a few weeks ago, is it our age?

I just started watching so I'm not sure. In the one we just saw, they were racing Germans.

I lile it when they race across countries in cars versus aeroplanes etc, btw pre accident Richard had short hair now he has longer hair!

I was relieved that he said it was only a kiss on the lips - as in, I didn't try to "speak French."

I just got done with Lindsey's V-day party and 19 5-6 year olds. I am beat!

OK you win

The boys got home and had 2nd quarter report cards. Good all around, hooray! They're both reading above grade level. Buzz needs some handwriting practice, but we knew that. His listening and math are both up from 1st quarter, too. Woohoo!

Fantastic

Me and Mo

Love this photo, I can't believe how much I hadn't seen before, great photos!

We always do (look away T) Pizzafari for lunch and then swimming and dinner at the hotel on this day. AK is always an energy drainer for us.

We always go to Pizzafari too! Oh and we loved GG the characters there were great

And Maddie really hasn't said much about anything. She did mention she's OVER BBB - well, that and we found out they're adding BBB to DLR. Help ME!

I now say my two are too old!

Here's a question since we are new to the DDP...how do you keep track of what credits you use and to make sure you aren't being charged more credits than you dhould be. I just read a TR where the writer was saying they had to concierge several times to get credits back, etc.

As others have said it tells you on the receipt, one tip I always do is I don't allow charges on the girls cards, so when using my credits I always use their cards so that they have to use credits not accidently charge my room!

Gus won best overall!!! He was pretty happy about that.

Photo???? Well done Gus!

I'm actually looking forward to it, except for the fact that we have to meet at 8:30 am.

Wow have fun!

I forgot to mention that because of the AI opening yesterday, Ryan Seacrest, Justin Guarini , and someone else were at MGM today. I may have seen them, but I don't know what they look like. Apparently other people were impressed though.

5 of my Mom friends were there for the launch, it looked fantastic and the man that was in charge of all the stars was the guy who was our gust at dinner at the HBD and then helped at my photo shoot!

So, on our first overnight, Mrs. Tracy will be helping out at the campsite until dark and then checking into the nearest hotel.

So Mrs Tracy is that what they call you? No Brown Owl?

Hi all!

Hi Heather!

Jo - I get days like that. Just leave me alone! How was golf?
.

It didn't happen, course closed again, I should be playing tomorrow!

We make it back to the hotel. We didn't speak the whole way. I jumped in the shower and got dressed for bed. As I pulled back the sheets Doug grabbed me and said he was sorry. He literally got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. He started crying and said he thought he had lost me and he didn't want that to happen again. What a way to sucker a girl. Of course I said yes and that I was sorry too.

Awwwwwww

We're in a the lobby waiting for our friends to meet us so we can head over to the convention/competition. We meet at 7am with our director and the competition is over at 11pm. We'll be tired, but happy.
Have a great day.

Wow, have fun and good luck to B!

Off to Dora the Explorer Live iin about an hour. Should be fun and then I think we are going to go to the Mall

Have fun!

Sounds like you had fun V!


Phew can't believe how long it takes to catch up here! I took Jess to the range for her lesson and it was flippin freezing, hopefully I'm playing tomorrow, this is the 5th time trying to play this match!

Hi Fockers, I'm back from the Motherland. Angela and I had a wonderful lunch, it was great to spend some time with you Angela!

The trip home,well, it was not the wonderful end to a wonderful trip. Let's just say I sat on a runway, then sat some more on the same runway and sat a little bit more on the runway, then the captain said air traffic in NJ still wouldn't give him clearance to take off, soooooo we sat some more. Then we finally took off about the time we were supposed to land and then just outside of Philly, the captain announced there was a traffic jam and we were in a holding pattern. So I got home very late and am now doing laundry and lots of pug hugs. I did miss my boys.

Once I get settled I'll post the highlights (and some lowlights) of the trip.

What did I miss here? I hope all is well with my favorite imaginary friends.

Oh and Tracy, in 13 weeks I will be on the left coast Are you ready for a Jersey girl visit?

 

[1Princess1Prince2006]

Angela - Great pics!

Kristal - Great engagement story and glad the roof damage wasn't all that bad.

Janet - Have fun at Dora!

CE - Feel better!

Mo - Welcome home! Sorry about the end of your trip but can't wait to hear more about it!

to all I missed and to all who need them!

HAPPY VALENTINE"S DAY!

My babysitter took the kids last night and I went with a friend down to Morgantown for a WVU basketball game. He and I had a lot of fun and I haven't been to a basketball game since high school. The kids ended up spending the night with the sitter since I ended up getting home so late. It was sooooooo nice to sleep in!

I'm now just waiting for the kids to get home and surfing around on the web. I cleaned up the house some and got the kids gifts ready. No big plans for us tonight. I don't know if we'll go out to dinner or stay in. None of us here are really all that into Valentine's Day either.

Hope y'all have a good day!

 

[sorul82?]

T is the WW Cheer leader.. . I need a KICK in the pant to get motivated again... But when you are having trouble walking... exercising is even harder.
Dang it... I guess I am going to have to go back to Orthopedics... BUT I CAN NOT DO KNEE SURGERY AGAIN... Not now

Too bad we don't all live in the same area so we could exercise together. Then we'd all be skinny, drunk and fluent in Spanish.

 

[englishrose47]

Welcome homeMo !!!Sorry about the runway wait !!!

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Just a quick drive by to say

​

Welcome back Mo!!

 

[DisneyJo]

[askelton]

We would have way too much fun with those!

Mo, we could have stayed at MGM longer! I hate sitting on the plane.

 

[jcc0621]

Hope you all have a wonderful day!
MEL

You too

Have a great day all!

You too

I like it! We're planning GG again, too.

It wasn't on my radar, but we stumbled in last Dec. and had a really nice lunch. Their crab cakes were super, as was the Bloody Mary with which I washed them down!

The menu looked small, but decent

Johnny Depp was there, too!

Really

As others have said it tells you on the receipt, one tip I always do is I don't allow charges on the girls cards, so when using my credits I always use their cards so that they have to use credits not accidently charge my room!

THere is no way I am giving charging privliges to Jimmy

Phew can't believe how long it takes to catch up here! I took Jess to the range for her lesson and it was flippin freezing, hopefully I'm playing tomorrow, this is the 5th time trying to play this match!

Hope you can play tomorrow!

Ugh, this is always my fear when flying for Jimmy

Once I get settled I'll post the highlights (and some lowlights) of the trip.

Uh oh, that doesn't sound good

GLad you got it back!

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

We are home. THe show was really cute and Jimmy liked it, so that is the most important thing. His favorite part was when Diego showed up. He is very impressed that he and Diego have the same name

After the show we headed over to the mall for a bit. Didn't buy anything, just window shopped. THe Disney Store didn't have anything great on sale and this particular store is really small so really. We did discover that a new incarcation of the Power Rangers is starting on March 7th, so you know what that means...new action figured coming out with them

We then went to Ruby Tuesday for lunch. I love their salad bar .

Just hanging out the rest of the evening. Who's gonna be around?

 

[englishrose47]

The girls are hungry and getting impatient!! Taxes done today and I am VERY Happy We are getting enough to pay for our Sept Disney trip Yahooooooooey !!!! With little good planning and some deals we may even have spending money!!

Happy Valentines Day!


I have been swamped the last few days and haven't had a chance to say hi! I hope all is well with everyone. I kicked off our big spring fundraiser yesterday for the PTA and it was a hoot! We are getting ready to head out to a movie and dinner at a steakhouse. I never get to go on dates with my hubby, let alone on V-day! So I am really excited to be able to go.

I will check in tomorrow. to all of you!

 

[puggymom]

Thanks for the welcome home.

I wanted to warn other DVC owners, I just posted this on the DVC boards, but I was double checking a change I made to my Sept reservation and noticed I was overcharged points for this week's stay. Looks like they charged me for Magic season which starts tomorrow and not Dream season, it's a difference of 5 points, and of course I noticed after member services is closed for the day

OMG!

I am sick. We didn't stay out very late last night, and I slept horridly and just want to lie down. I think after basketball I'm just going to laze around all darn day long. The boys and I will do pizza and a movie since we didn't last night.

Hope you feel better soon, CE!

Sorry T. After Jimmy's bath I just crashed!

T, I hope you're feeling okay this morning...

Hi Kate - yes, I'm feeling better after a LONG nap this afternoon!

Not much going on here. We don't celebrate Valentine's Day. I'm off to catch up on chores.

Andy & I don't really celebrate V-Day either. My kids do enjoy passing out cards and goodies, though.

Morning! I'm marinating hair color and have to go rinse it out in a few. Otherwise, I'll probably hang around the house today. Spent last evening with my friend (Char, form my old TRs), drinking a few Cosmos and being silly. T, we were on FB - I should have popped over here to find you!

[Hedy]

Had Mordie's 13th birthday party today. I got him a Flip, which he was thrilled with. Everything went smoothly, save for Mordie coming an and going "Ferdie made Uncle Mickey cry. He said Mickey Mouse isn't real."
I, of course, responded as all loving Disney aunts do "FERDIE IS A LIAR!"

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

Isn't DIego James in Spanish?

I didn't know that.

 

[jcc0621]

I didn't know that.
