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

[princessjv]

I wish someone would tell me IF there is a girls weekend. I have only heard speculation. I'd love to know if I should try to upgrade to AP's while there in 3 weeks! 3 weeks, baby!

 

[ncsjodi]

Jen, I just found out that IpDip II is being planned for that weekend in October. I'm working on trying to get there. It would be awesome to have both a Focker meet and an IP DIP meet!!

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

Jen if you're planning any other visit within a year I think it's worth it to upgrade to AP's. With 2 visits those suckers pay themselves off.

That would be cool My AP expires in Oct though and I don't think I'm renewing this year.

That is the weekend that they keep talking about a girls weekend, I think. We are out of school that following week, but I may be able to swing a little trip alone, if I got a roomie.

I know, I think I should too. We probably will come down as a family in Feb of 10, so that would make sense then, hun? When does your AP expire in Oct?

No it expires in August, the Fockerfest Anniversary.

Oh well. It's time to plan other trips other than Disney.

Right now I have tentative trips for D.C., Vegas and San Fran. We'll see if I can find good deals. Next year the family is planning a cruise to the Panama Canal for my mom's birthday.

Might visit Disney in December, one of my cousins has a bday in December.

So many places, so little money.

hi girls . dawn and jen

so when is this girl's weekend? i need to plan and smoooze it with my husband. i have a plan

 

[carrieannie]

Hi guys!

Jen and Jon, Wow Jen! your really going through some crap stuff. you are one of the strongest (if not THE strongest) women I know. you can handle it, and your doing a terrific job of it and making a great life for you and Jon.

CE, have fun on your trip! did you post that you were going? I missed that one. why 12 people? all in the same house?!

I would love to go Columbus DAY weekend!! that would be awsome. like Jodi said, IP-DIPs and a Focker meet. being able to run it by the hubby is a whole nuther ball of wax.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
We had a great day as a family today! the poor kids havent been out of the house all week during this stupid February vacation week.
yesterday. I took them to the Mashantucket Pequot museam. (Foxwoods Casino) but not in the Casino. it was very nice and they were great! I got some really cool pictures in the observation tower. I`ll post them soon!
Today, Steve had off, so we took the kids over to Mohegan Sun Casino. its a great place to walk around and shop and eat. very themed. really nice shops. I bought a nice Jim Shore figurine of Mickey and Minnie dressed in Farm clothing in front of a farm house. like the painting. then we ate lunch at Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville! first time! it just opened in October. it was so much fun!! Ben took a picture of me hugging the giant blender in the middle of the resturant filling up with(fake) tequilla. the food was great! then Steve and I took turns at the slots. no winnings.

Tomorrow night We are taking Sam to see Larry the Cable Guy. it was one of his christmas gifts. Ben and Annie are sleeping over Steves parents. Steve feels bad about that because they just got back yesterday from 3 weeks in St Maartin. they put b-sitting on the calender before they left so its not a surprise, plus they have had 3 weeks alone. time to mix it up a little. .
off to bed. night!

We've tentatively talked about Columbus Day weekend, for F&W. I can probably pull anything off, if I can have D take vacation time so he's home with the kids. As long as I don't tell the kids where I'm going...

It took 7 phone calls, so I overestimated. And he still got the wrong refried beans, but I can deal.

I have my spices rounded up, and the kids and I are mostly packed, so I'm feeling OK. We've been having some wine and watching some DVRed stuff, so a nice evening.

Sleep well, all!

Oh, and we decided that D would stay with Woody if he's still not good tomorrow. They'd drive up and meet us at the ski hill Monday, and they'd be better about getting there earlier than I would.

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

hi girls

Hi Rach!

We had a great day as a family today! :

Sounds like a fun day Carrie! Can't wait to see pics, especially the Margaritaville ones. They have some good food and drinks there.

Coronado Springs, we're gonna be neighbors with Mel!
3/25-3/28 last night we're staying offsite to save some money

There's a girls weekend in October???

How was slumdog millionaire?

The last movie I saw was Friday the 13th and He's Just Not That Into You. Both were good.

I LOVED CSR!!!
Slumdog was waaaay better than I thought it would be!
I am trying to download both those movies to no avail yet, but I did get mall cop and HSM3!

I think we should all roomie up! I'm def in as long as it's cheap enough and rooming together would save us some $$!

I have wanted to go to both places but we never get around to it. Is it worth it for an overnight trip?!

AND Great Pics Rachel!

*****************************
been sitting here with the a/c on it's so darn hot in here neither of us could stop sweating! crazy huh?

Nothing going on tomorrow just some more movies and relaxing. we plan to order pizza and add our own toppings for dinner. YUM.

 

[WDWHeather]

I've been somewhat absent from the Dis for a while due to finishing college and all that... uh... fun... yeah... fun....???

Anyway, I've been looking for the Fockers for days now and I'm so glad to have finally found you all again!

 

[lazydoxy66]

Shoot guys this is going to be quite the update!

Lessa is a LOTR geek like me. I will check out the MTV spoof.

Jo is creating another golf champ in the family. Says it's nice & sunny in her neck of the woods - Go ahead, rub it in.

Angie loves FB. She also informed us that she has been from one end of the Redneck belt to the other.

Dawn is bummed about upcoming move. She is worried about B adjusting especially. Not going to be easy to get a new house.

JV is very busy. She went to a flea circus today at Tink's school. Well she said it was tiny. She had to help with the tiny ferris wheel or something like that. I hope the mini carnival was fun. She was tired at the end of the day and needs sun and WDW.

CE was freaking out about her family ski trip + Woody was suddenly ill. Has to cook a meal for 12. Got a little Potty Mouth action in. I don't think any children were present. She needs to send Hubby pictures of stuff to get at the store or else he calls her 100 times. Finally, she had some wine, I would guess a lot 'cause she seemed to calm down quite a bit. She is leaving tomorrow for fluffy Maine snow. Have a great time CE!

G-Luv - Needs these and prayers for little Jon. He has the onset of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and had rheumatic fever yesterday. She did have time to tell us that Meeska's kinda ex-hubby needs a Focker foot stuck in the appropriate orifice. She is ready for vacation. Hang in there kiddo!

2 of Mel's boys are still sick. Bob and SD. SD seems to be getting worse with a bad cough. Bob is suppose to head to California on Monday. She posted an OC housewives quiz: I'm very happy to say I am most like Jeana. YAY! I like her.

V is maker her house presentable for a PA friend that is visiting next week. Yeah, like I'm sure it was a real pig sty. She has been playing Wii with Leo and not to be out done by Mel posted the quiz from the NY princesses: I am most like Jill on that one. Not sure how I like that.

T has been grossing us out with Spam Sushi.

Katt took it too far by posting some recipes for Spam. Hey Rosie I don't think those are Irish.

Slate was po'd about something but the Spam made her laugh. I think she said she peed her pants. Oh, nope that was me.

Jodi had a date with DD5 for dinner because DD7 was going to a Daddy/Daughter bash. There is an awesome picture. Hey Jodster, I will be leaving the World 9 days before IP DIP. I was so bummed when I saw that on Enchanted.

Kat has entertained herself with fastfood hopping, book stores and WOD. She found some great Disney bargains. Chillin' Sunday.

Z will be back to the Motherland 3/25-2/28 at CSR. Off site last day. Gonna be travelin' a lot by the looks of it.

Rosie needs Irish dessert recipes.

Rachel wants in on the girls weekend. Posted pics of the new place. Awesome!!

Carrie popped in to say she is having fun with the family at the casinos. Mostly shopping and going to museums. She also has discovered that she gets very attached to big blenders full of tequila. She is going to see Larry the Cable Guy Sunday.

Heather is back and she says she is much smarter. Hey girl!!!!

I just want to say that snow and wind and cold suck.

Hi Heather!!!



Kristel, once again.

Those are tentative trips......

************************************

This night has dragged

But tonight is Oscar night!!!!

....the only one of those movies I've seen is Wall-E

 

[Muffinygood]

Good Sunday Morning!

Kristel, as usual you KILLED it! Great update!

I don't know how anyone is feeling yet, because I'm the only one awake! Today is the bunny pick-up though! Gus will be so happy.

I didn't watch the Oscars. I read a book till about 10 pm and then Bob and I watched two episodes that we had DVR'd of Living With Ed. It's on the Green channel (I know, a republican watching the GREEN channel? I like it ) Then we went to sleep. Very exciting, I know.

I saw Wall-E and Gran Torino. Those are the only two nominees I've seen I think.
So, what's everyone doing today?

MEL

 

[Muffinygood]

Oh, duh, the Oscars are TONIGHT. Gotcha. Well, I might watch....

MEL

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Good Morning everybody!

I'm at work this morning and when I get home tonight Erich and I are making Mom watch Star Wars, have to educate her on the ways of the Jedi before our May trip.

 

[PrincessV]

Morning! I'm avoiding the unpleasantness of grocery shopping during snowbird season by playing on the Internet. I'll have to shower and go soon, though...

I was up early this morning, making May ADRs! Wound up going with:
Kona dinner
Ohana dinner
Rose & Crown lunch for Gramma's bday

Much as I'd love a Girls' Weekend, I probably won't make it. Columbus Day isn't a holiday for us and we're already scheduled for Halloween Wkn.d in WDW. But keep me in the loop - you nevver know!

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

Oh, and we decided that D would stay with Woody if he's still not good tomorrow. They'd drive up and meet us at the ski hill Monday, and they'd be better about getting there earlier than I would.

Good plan! Hope you're ALL feeling good today, though!

WOW, that's gorgeous!

Welcome back, and CONGRATS!!

I just want to say that snow and wind and cold suck.

 

[jcc0621]

Thanks for the update praise! It only makes sense me doing a recap for the day seein' how I'm the last person on here most of the time. I hope everyone is getting some sleep!!!

Thanks Kristel

Sharkbait's #1 kiddo has a Lego competition Saturday.

How'd they do Kate?

Still too devistated to talk. We'll be here if you need us.

Janet went to the funeral of a fallen officer Friday. Feelin' icky and just chillin' this wkend.[]/QUOTE]

Update below

T found round trip air for $300. She's a happy camper.

Great deal T

Jo is back from her trip to see the family. Says her nephew is perfect. Her nanny is not. David got back from Glasgow.

Hi Jo. Sorry about gramma. Glad David is home safely.!Glasgow is a place Jim wants to go...his grandfather was born there!

Morning Fockers! My friend from PA is coming to visit this week, so i spent the morning cleaning my bathroom and doing laundry. Leo actually fell asleep in a chair while I was taking a shwoer - allergies must be getting to him, poor baby! We're playing some Wii now and might go for a bike ride this afternoon. Nice Sat.!

Shhhh. You weren't supposed to tell anyone I was coming for a visit

Dawn is bummed about upcoming move. She is worried about B adjusting especially. Not going to be easy to get a new house.

I saw that. I'm sick enough...no more please!

Rachel wants in on the girls weekend. Posted pics of the new place. Awesome!!

Great place Rachel!

Good Sunday Morning!

Morning!

I'm at work this morning and when I get home tonight Erich and I are making Mom watch Star Wars, have to educate her on the ways of the Jedi before our May trip.

SHe has never seen Star Wars

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

Good morning everyone. I came home from work early on Friday, got in bed at 3:30 and slept (except for bathroom runs and drinks of water) until 8:00am THIS MORNING We are all sick. Jimmy's got all kinds of interesting things coming out of his nose (TMI? Sorry ) I'm going to keep him home from school tomorrow and maybe on Tuesday. Hopefully I can get him in to see the doctor tomorrow in the am.

Jim is still sleeping, Jimmy is watching Word GIrl and I am catching up here.

Why becasue they clog up the roads and the aisles

Much as I'd love a Girls' Weekend, I probably won't make it. Columbus Day isn't a holiday for us and we're already scheduled for Halloween Wkn.d in WDW. But keep me in the loop - you nevver know!

Me either V By adding our 2 nights at Universal in August, that pretty much killed my budget for girls weekend. Maybe next year!
