Robyn - Looks like you all had a wonderful weekend. I really enjoyed the pictures you posted from the dedication. I see that BOTH sets of grandparents were there!! How nice.

 

[PrincessLeighsDaddy]

Good Morning DDA!

Loving all the new Christmas siggies!

Robyn, Lucy looked so cute at her dedication!
We watched the movie Hairspray this weekend, and one of the songs in the beginning is "I love Baltimore"! Leighanna sings that song from the top of her lungs. (Over and Over and Over again!) She wants to go back and see you and the girls.


Vicki, Wow, that sure is alot of cookies!

We haven't even started our Christmas decorations yet! I do need to get started on it this weekend though!

Tammi, I really don't want to get Leighanna that horse for Christmas, but she is telling everyone she sees, from the neighbor to the checkout girls at the stores, that she is getting Butterscotch for Christmas. We haven't gotten it yet, and by the time we can, they will probably be sold out! Where do you hide a present like that? And then where would we put that thing if we did get it? Yikes!

Jen, I've been thinking of you! Hang in there!

Jennifer, yikes! I thought my MIL was a pain. I have lost about 60lbs. since May, and I haven't seen her in a couple of months. She told me that I looked too skinny and thought that I was sick! I am definitely not too skinny, and I do not look sick! You just got to love 'em!

Have a great day all!

Good morning

 

[PNO4TE]

I have absolutely no motivation left. Mom wore me out as always! She is a dynamo. We shopped on Friday for about 4 hours to get her Christmas shopping done. I did paperwork Friday morning and Saturday most of the day. My upstairs is organized (now it just needs to be cleaned ). Mom and I made cookies Saturday & today. We made Chocolate Chippers, Peanut Butter, Snickerdoodles, Date Rolls, and Molasses. These are to send to my brother and sister for Christmas. Mom misunderstood me and made a quadruple batch of molasses. We ended up with 300 cookies. I was going back and forth about a double or triple batch as it was because one batch is so large. It was a productive week-end but now my body is exhausted but my mind is racing.

My goodness... sounds like you need a vacation from your vacation, Vicki!

 

[tinknme]

Robyn I watched Santa Claus 3 last night with the boys. I will have to watch #2 again, I don't remember what was said about her parents.

Debbie love the Mickey treats, I might just have to buy myself a Mickey cookie cutter!

Hi Elin

 

[tinknme]

Bernadette thanks for the info on Garden Grocer. I did ask them to call my cell # when they arrive. I would rather meet them, then have to wait for bell service. We will see what happens!

 

[PNO4TE]

I picked up a Mickey cookie cutter at Disney to try out the cinnaman applesauce ornaments, but I had another idea, only my "Disney" friends will appreciate this one,

An absolutely brilliant idea, Debbie!!

 

[tinknme]

I do not have to work today, yet I have been up since 4:30 The rest of the week I need to be up this early, but will not want to get up

 

[PNO4TE]

Deb - the pins and collage and Disney decor look terrific!

 

[PNO4TE]

Hi, Janet & Heidi!

Good morning, DDA!

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

So I am not ready for work tomorrow. I have taken a several hour nap everyday this weekend. I have not accomplished much of anything. Another day or two off would be a good thing. But off to work I will go tomorrow and see how long I can stay before I feel to exhausted

Jen please hang in there.

Jennifer- Hope you feel better throughout the rest of your pregnancy.

Tammi- well parasailing sounds like a great excuse to get Bob on a Disney Cruise or another trip to WDW or another tropical destination of your choice.

Robyn- Great pictures of the Christening and I bet you are glad it is over

Sending good thoughts to all of you

Thanks Becky! Only 2 parties left
Hopefully work won't run you ragged this week.

Lots of prayers and PD to you and your family. Keep hanging -- we'll help hold you up!

Robyn -- darling pictures of Lucy! I'm glad it went well.

Well said Marci.

Thanks!

Are you kidding? I'm freaking out here. What in the world did I get myself into? We have a reservation at the Brown Derby one night, breakfast with Elizabeth & Tammi one morning and otherwise nada. We did order our MVMCP tickets but I haven't seen them. I have to call about ME because I forgot to add that. I do have plane tickets and a room.

It will be fine, you'll be in your happy place.

Deb - love all of the pictures! You did a great job with the pin frame.

My weekend was extremely busy. Saturday was a complete bust, as far as shopping goes. I did manage to get long sleeved white tshirts for all of us, as well as one present for my dad. Today was much more productive. We got the whole outside of the house decorated. All I have left to do is put out the village and the Nativity. Then we did some more shopping. I got Nicholas a new bike for Christmas. Bob took it home and will put it together for me. I also went grocery shopping and stocked up on supplies for the sleepover. I did lots of laundry, but not as much as Theresa. The white tshirts are washed and the designs are printed. I just need to iron them on now.

Blech.....back to work tomorrow.

You were busy. Sorry shopping didn't pan out.

SO CUTE!!!!!

My 3 children's Godfather is Uncle Joe.

Thanks Bernadette. Lucy's Uncle Joe, he's my cousin, was very upset at me when I picked my other cousin, Wayne, to be Molly's Godfather. I am much closer to Joe but Wayne doesn't have any nieces/nephews of his own and has always been not so involved in our family gatherings and such. Now he is much more involved so I am glad I choose him. And now Joe is happy that he has Lucy. So it all worked out in the end. Good thing Lucy surprised us!

Where can I buy tank tops for adult and child sizes that can be used for iron-ons? I want to get some for our June trip next summer. This is the trip that is the most important to me of all that we have planned.

I really want to show my mom, sister, niece & nephew a wonderful time at Disney. My ex-BIL isn't in the picture so if anything ever happens to my sister (which we hope never happens), Chuck & I would be the kids guardian. We don't get to see them often enough and whenever we do, I'm trying to build major memories and family bonds.

How nice Vicki.

Robyn, last picture of Lucy is my favorite.

Thanks Heidi.

Robyn - Looks like you all had a wonderful weekend. I really enjoyed the pictures you posted from the dedication. I see that BOTH sets of grandparents were there!! How nice.

Yep, my inlaws showed up and were actually quite pleasant. Did I mention they even took Molly Thursday night and kept well into Friday afternoon. It was a good weekend.

Good Morning DDA!

Have a great day all!

You all will have to come back here. Emma and Molly are planning on singing "Good Morning Balitmore" in Emma's school Variety show! My girls love the movie and the soundtrack. They know every single word! I can't wait to get the girls together again. We will definitely have to plan something for the summer.

There has got to be a MIL island somewhere! It amazes me how so many can be such a pain.

And I think you look terrific. In fact, in your Elf Yourself I didn't recognize you at first. Well done. What's your secret?

Robyn I watched Santa Claus 3 last night with the boys. I will have to watch #2 again, I don't remember what was said about her parents.

Debbie love the Mickey treats, I might just have to buy myself a Mickey cookie cutter!

Well you're no help! It's driving me crazy but I am too lazy to watch it again.

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

I am running so behind this morning. The girls just got up and I don't feel like getting them ready for the day! Have a great day.

 

[PNO4TE]

I am still in Richmond, sitting in Kathrin's living room. I hope none of you was traveling on I-95 last night! It was a solid stream of headlights headed north, at about 10 mph. I was very thankful to be headed south at 5:00. The girls and I caught a quick bite to eat and I dropped Kristin off for her rehearsal. Kathrin and I tried a new wine and watched FoodNetwork for a couple of hours and chatted. Well... she watched the FoodNetwork. I kept falling asleep! I will have a cup of coffee with her in a bit and then head on up the road. I anticipate very little traffic this morning! See you all later on this morning.

[marcij]

And I wake up to more cool sigs! They are all so wonderful!

Here's some PD and prayers to all of those who have lost loved ones, missing loved ones, have loved ones who are sick or just need a pick me up for going back to work.

The support from this thread has been amazing the past year and I'm deeply grateful and hope that I've been able to give some of that back to y'all.

Very busy week at work -- I've got a lot to get out the door this week.

Have a good day, DDA!

Alright deb--i had to make my signature "cowboys!" again!

Now that looks like an authentic Jen signature

Robyn - Looks like you all had a wonderful weekend. I really enjoyed the pictures you posted from the dedication. I see that BOTH sets of grandparents were there!! How nice.

My MIL never came to Colby's baptism. She did make it to the other 2 boys though.

I forgot to mention that she told me on Thansgiving that she had some hand me down pants from someone that they know whose wife had recently walked on on him She was afraid that they would be too small as they were a size 12 Ummmm I've been a size 8 for well over a year lady. Way to go MIL in the bring someone down category

Good Morning DDA!

Loving all the new Christmas siggies!

Tom you look wonderful. Don't listen to your MIL, trust me they have NO idea what they are talking about EVER
