Great pictures Karen. How are things going?

DS and DH just came in from playing outside. I was brushing my teeth. DS asked me what I was doing and I told him I don't like eggnog. Turns out he doesn't like it, either! He wanted to taste it, so DH gave him some. I guess DH likes it. Blech!

I do not like eggnog either, but the boys do...all 4 of them Chris like plain eggnog and the boys like the vanilla and the new sugar cookie egg nog. I must admit that the sugar cookie kind tastes much like sugar cookies.

I'd say wait until you get home. Then maybe it will make leaving WDW a little less painful.

So true

i think thats what it is Tammi. After seeing this side of him today--in pain and violent...i just think he is suffering entirely too much. im hurting and sad but know it would be better if he isnt suffering

I hate this stuff near the holidays..in 1998 my aunt died from cancer on december 18 and we had the viewing and funeral the 21 and 22. Grandma is starting to realize this isnt going ot end well. overheard them saying they dont expect him to make it to thanaksgiving..so now we wait and see

At his point he does not have a decent quality of life and I'm sure he would not want to suffer like this. I'm sure that it is hard on your grandmother, but seeing him suffer is only compounding her sorrow. I will pray for peace for your family and a painless dignified death for your grandfather.

Ok, I asked Chuck to see if I could be helpful. Here's his insight: If you want the kids to be distracted before you leave so they are out of your hair while you are getting ready to go, give it to them before. However, if you need them to be doing stuff, wait until you get back. Is that more helpful?

See, a man think like a boy

I asked Chris the same question and he said to give it to them before. I'm sure it is because HE can't wait for our boys to get their new system Even if you give it to them early it will still be new enough to keep them interested when they return.

Welcome home Rees

 

[mommykds]

I told the boys they could choose 1 nice gift for Christmas beings going to Disney is part/most of their Christmas gift. They both wanted an XBox 360 Halo Edition. So I bite the bullet & bought the XBox Halo console, Halo 3 game & an extra controller. Besides some stocking stuffer they will get at Disney, this is it.

My question now is do I let them open this before we leave or wait till we return?

I would say give it to them before.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Yay for Rees coming home!

Deb - Our grocery didn't have any flavors of eggnog, just plain.

Janet - I would wait unti you get home to give the games to the boys, but that's just me.

Jen - I am hemming and hawing on the VS deal. I can't decide if I really like the sweater, and I don't have ANY clothes from there - just bras & panties - so I am not sure of the fit.

That was my problem--i dont have any of their clothes either--just the bras and panties..but figured i was going to try it for such a good deal

 

[tinknme]

That is a good deal, I don't wear lipstick much though.

just saw this on the budget board...if you like victoria's secret sweaters.... http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1640831

i got a 19.00 sweater, free 28.00 scarf, free lip gloss, free lipstick set or something and 5.00 off, plus shipping...evertying for 19.95

 

[tinknme]

I asked Gary what he thought & he hasn't answered yet. I have a feeling they might get it before we leave so he can check it out lol

Thanks for the replies everyone!

 

[Tammi67]

I'm beginning to think this whole Wii thing. Just don't know what to do.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

I don't wear it very often, either. I have a scarf (I might even have 2 - I can't remember) and I really don't need a sweater. So yes, I could get all the stuff for about $21, but it wasn't stuff I was planning to buy in the first place. I'll save my $21 for WDW!

 

[tinknme]

Good luck Tammi, I was getting a headache looking at all the different XBox's

I'm beginning to think this whole Wii thing. Just don't know what to do.

I found a Sam's ad today that has some sort of Wii family pack for $500. It includes 3 games BUT I can't tell what else it includes or what the games are! And I doubt I would be able to snag one anyway. I think DH wants a Wii. I don't think DS cares.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Apparently I am not the only one who saw that. There is a new result on the search that says it is the Wii console, 3 nunchuks, 3 "Wii"motes, and 3 games. But it still doesn't say WHAT the games are.

Here is the ad

I didn't see anything else we would be interested in. I am sure those Wii's will fly out the door in a matter of minutes, so I guess I should be glad I wasn't REALLY planning to buy one!

Jen,






Thanks for the VS info. I ordered a really nice cotton sweater. The free makeup I will give to work. We are collecting toiletries and such for homeless teenage girls.

And for a little holiday spirit....

This elfin' greeting brought to you by OfficeMax®.

Loved everyones elfs! Too funny!

Been busy working overtime at the bakery. Have to get all those TONS of rolls ready to ship for the big holiday!


Bernadette, the castle looks so BEAUTIFUL! I really wish we could go just to see that, even for a short trip, but it doesn't look promising.

Hope you find time to relax soon. Will you get a bit of a break between Thanksgiving & Christmas or does it stay crazy the whole season?

Thanks for the compliment on the photo. It was amazing! Maybe next year for you?

and in honor of our 10,000 page..

I need to stop multi quoting!

I'm off to bed. Tomorrow is Colby's birthday and Sunday is Chris's so I'll be busy this weekend. I made a trip to BJs today to restock the freezer since I have no idea what they will want for their birthday meals.

Happy Birthday to your "handfull" and Chris too.



When I met Deb and the boys on the 4th of July Colby said "I'm this many" holding up four fingers. "And on my next birthday I'll be a handfull."

[lovesdumbo]

I woke up at 11 PM feeling horrible. DS has his flu shot this AM but I am still trying to assess whether or not I feel up to driving. My head feels weird.

Hope you get rid of your head cold soon.

Tammi & Elizabeth, have you seen this review of the breakfast at Tusker House? I'm looking forward to enjoying it with you guys.

ETA: http://www.allearsnet.com/blogs/lindamac/2007/11/opening_day_at_the_tusker_hous.html

Thanks for the link. I have an ADR with Joe here. Looks great!!!

I hope you all are doing well! Sorry to pop in and out, but this weekend is so busy! We had people over today for the big game (Hooray Bucks! ) and then when they left, I was supposed to decorate for Christmas. Well, instead we bought a car. I'm not sure when I'll get to decorate though, and it's completely throwing me in a panic. Mostly just for stupid reasons to pout.... "I NEVER decorate "so late" (close to Thanksgiving". Oh, well. A car is a nice consolation price I suppose and it's a beauty!

Tomorrow, I'm singing at this big combined church service in the area, and then rushing from there to the Bengals game with Kyle. My poor husband, he's doing all of these things on about 2 hours of sleep at a time.

Maybe I'll decorate tomorrow evening....... We'll see.

Have a great Sunday!

Congrats on the new car!

myBob and his dd just left. We had a fun day bowling and playing in the arcade. Then we went to Cracker Barrel for dinner. That's her favorite place. They brought her out an ice cream sundae and had the whole restaurant sing happy bday to her. She turned beet red. Then we came back to my house and opened presents. The kids and I got her the Hannah Montana Dance Along, and boy was that fun. The 4 of us were "rocking out the show" while myBob was a couch potato. I have some pictures that I will upload later. Then we had cake and ice cream and they left. I just got my kids into bed. Nicholas has come down with a head cold. He was up at 2AM this morning complaining that he couldn't breath. I gave him some decongestant, but it didn't last long. He was up again at 6:45, so he is one tired puppy. I hope he kicks it quick and that Alyssa and I don't get it.

Hope Nick gets over that quick and everyone else stays healthy-especially if you have to drive to your parents this weekend.

Hi Everyone,
We're Home!!!!

Meeting Bernadette was great, it was just like running into an old friend, and Lizzie is adorable.

I'm sure you've all already seen pictures, but the Dream lights on the castle are simply breathtaking,

Thanks for the postcard Paula, guess I'll have to read for a few days to catch up, hope everyone is well.

Welcome home! It was so great to meet you! Wasn't the castle awesome!

Welcome Home Debbie! Can't wait to hear more about your trip. I showed my girlfriend a pic of the castle and she said "Come let's leave now!" How long are the lights up for, does anyone know?

According to one of the links Janet posted it may be til 1/6/08. I hope so then maybe Joe & I could see Osborne Lights as soon as they open and head over to see the castle on our first night-1/6.

Sorry i keep whining to you guys..its so hard right now to be home alone. My poor brother is in texas for a wedding and im waiting for him to call me. So here i sit, waiting for the phone to ring..You guys are the only ones around to talk so i apologize

Please, please, please do not apologize! We are all here for you!

Here are some pictures from our 'concert' tonight.

Too funny!

I think he was considering it, but then thought better!

He probably thought you'd take a photo and post it on the internet.

here is a pic of the girls in matching shirts. One says bib sister the other says little sister

SO cute!!!!
