The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 3

[itdjbw]

I just realized I just posted about how cute Julia was and not Matthew and Alyssa

so I will now gush over how adorable the other DDA kids at my house were this weekend

Alyssa is just so sweet and cute and toddles around and did a great job with the chaos that was going on around her!!! She once again caught Nick's eye - all I have heard today is "where's lyssa"

Matthew is a great kid!! he can come to my house anytime!!! he was very sweet with the little ones and Julia thought he was blast to play with!!!!! He was very polite and a total doll!!!! Julia is already begging to go see Matthew!!!! and get this - "UNCLE" Paul!!! (you too Marti!)

All the kids looked adorable and Julia seems to just love the camera, did you ever hear back from her audition??

That's too cute!

Are you home? How was Delaware?

Amy - I have to tell you that my Alyssa was looking at your Alyssa in the teapot costume and she said "is that me?" I replied, "No, but her name is Alyssa too." So then she says "so it is me?" How confusing for a 3 year old.

Poor thing!

Our Alyssa is finally looking at pictures of herself and if I ask, "who's that?" she'll say "me." And if I say, "who's me?" she'll say "Lyssa."

Guess what Kate got out of her office last night? That's right...her red Zac Efron folder. She spread it all over her family room for us all to see.

She kept making comments like "the pictures you printed" and "the folder you mailed me." I have no idea what she's talking about! She even has Steve convinced that I gave her this folder!

That is cute! Tammi, I looked for a gold Mickey topper today while I was at the Disney store (I bought mine there just before Christmas). Unfortunately, there were none. Sorry!

Beth

You are the 2nd person that mentioned they had them at the Disney Store. I am going to call ours tomorrow and see if they have any. Thanks for the idea.

I'm so jealous! I drove through Rochester on the Thruway today on my way to the Buffalo area, and I was thinking of Marti and Paul (and Matt).

It sure was windy in much of NY yesterday, though. We lost the top of a tree in our backyard. I think that the Syracuse area had it about the worst wind-wise, though.

Have a great game night!!!

Beth

We're only four miles off the Thruway - if you make the drive again, let me know and we'll meet up!!

Here's a picture of my leg.
I mean my tattoo.
So what do you think?
I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR HELPING ME DESIGN IT.
I couldn't have done it without you all.
The story behind the design.
I have been tagged Tink because of my attitude.
(49% sugar & spice - 51% fire & ice).
Flowers being my 2 DXH.
I had them made with black centers.
As they both were nice on the outside, deep down were 100% A**.
So I had Tinkerbell standing on them.
Making the statement.
I'm taking my life back.
Tinkerbell is blowing 4 kisses my children.
1 pink DD, 3 red DS's.
I'm the butterfly (butterflys are free).
To remind me to STAY THAT WAY.
Pixie Dust is for a better future.
I love how it turned out.

Would you add anything.
Remember I can only add, can't take anything away.

Lets get a full photo so we can see the BIG smile on your face...
Congrats Jo

Does anyone have (or know where I can find) the recipe for Penne Alla Vodka pasta from Mama Melrose? I am having a craving for that.

 

[mgkkgdm]

oh crap - does that mean Paul rubed off on me this weekend?!?!

You should be so lucky...

 

[Steamboat Marti]

oh crap - does that mean Paul rubed off on me this weekend?!?!

I really hope Amy hasn't let me down -- Kate, it is RUBBED! The grammar police has arrived home safely. Let me catch up and I'll post in a minute....

 

[Steamboat Marti]

It's a chocloate bar - with caramel running through it. Marti got a taste for them several years ago and you can't get them in the States so I'm supposed to be sending her some. I say supposed to be as they are all bought and in my kitchen waiting for me to find a suitable box to put them in!

When I finally get them to Marti I will ask her to remove a wrapper and post a picture of the chocolate bar - then you can see why they get the name curly wurly

Wow - Clare! I'm so excited! I can't wait to have one -- the last time I had one it was 1972....

I found plenty for the Penne Bolognese, but I don't have that one. I'll let you know if I can find it!

ETA: Here's a recipe. It's not specifically from there, but it sounds yummy!

yeah -- once again, I'm last fiddle. Did you all hear that Matt was listed first, then UNCLE Paul and oh yeah, some lady named Marti.

Ya know what??? Kate kept saying she didn't do all that work -- but I don't buy it. She thinks we don't know what's going on, but we do. She loves Zac!!
