I have all my windows open already!! The dog has been outside for almost 2 hours!!!

I know...it's great. I just started putting screens in all the windows.

Okay its 11:15 am here in texas and it is already 78 degrees at my house.

We got on the bus and sat down and Colby said "are we going to Mickey's House?" Deb

That is so cute, Deb!

It's the airfare.... We are doing the same time for about $500 less...

airfare from austin, tx is about 375 or more and has been that way since Jan when we started pricing it. I still havent booked yet as I am trying to decide if I should book through disney and then if southwest fares are considerablly lower cancel the air I have from disney.

Can you cancel airfare through Disney as part of your package without penalty? Or is there a fee to cancel it through them?

four parks design - I like the idea of B&W - I wanted something a little different than my diamond one

LOOOOOOOOOOVE it!

i dont know. I need to call CRO and ask. If I rember from when we went for our honeymmon I can add air up to a certain point.

Squash... it's a drink - made of fruit juice and water - you buy it concentrated, add a little in a glass and then fill to the top with water. To be honest I don't think you have anything quite the same... hence we bought "Robinsons" (a UK brand) for some ridiculous amount from Walmart last trip! I try so hard not to buy the UK brands when on holiday - it just ruins the whole experience!

Thanks for the explanation! Hope you feel better soon!

then she saw a full length mirror and that was it - she stood in front of it admiring herself and wiggling her little hips

so then a dress or two later - she belts out the words "if you wanna be my lover..." I was mortified and asked "WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT SONG?!!?" "Chicken Little"

here I thought I was providing my children nice wholesome programming and that is what she takes away from them!! It is going to be a long 16 years!!!

I am laughing with you right now. Ellie dances in front of the mirror in her room all the time. Today it was while she was supposed to be getting ready for school.

I things they choose to hear crack me up. They can’t seem to hear you call them or ask they to do something, but they pick up the littlest snide remark someone makes or a line in a song that you don’t ever want to hear them say.

So I am wondering if I can have my DD’s pay for my therapy when they are adults, I might need a lot.

My son told me I can't take the baby to Disney until he can spell it. We're going next May. Everytime I see him, I say... :say hi to gramma; okay d i s n e y; say it with me... d i s n e y. All the time I'm holding him. I bet Disney will be his first word...

Try W D W instead

so do you root for the rangers or the astros.

I'm a Rangers girl. But, I have to admit...I grew up in Minnesota so the Twins have my heart, though it is gradually shifting over (partly due to the rear end of one Michael Young ).

Can't wait for Opening Day on Monday!!! Hot Dogs, warm soda and cotton candy here I come!!!!!

 

[kc10family]

At least she wasn't singing "Whatcha gonna do w/ all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk-my hump-my hump-" like someones sweet DD was doing tonight in Target !!!!

Wow. I told DH he can't listen to the radio with the girls in the car because of things like this.
But Kate said it... I thought it was ok to let them watch movies like Chicken Little.
What to do.

 

[Linzybrooke]

Still finalizing the games, but I think I've narrowed it down to a sucker pull, Pin the Nose on JoJo, and Dinky's Peanut Toss (create a cut-out of Dinky and add a couple holes where the kids can try to throw circus peanuts through )

Other games I had considered was Hot Po-Tater and Trina's tightrope (kinda like musical chairs but using a 2 x 4 board instead of chairs). But, I don't feel like worrying about music (the party's at our church, not our house), so I knocked these games off my list.

Our treat bags are actually paper popcorn bags I bought from Oriental Trading Co.

If you guys live near a Disney Store they have the little Mini Bean Bag JoJo's on sale for about 1.99!

That's OK, my almost 3 year old loves to yell "Shake your laffy taffy!!"

Theresa, Congratulations on DH getting a job.

I have to tell you all that I am so unimpressed with American Idol this year -

there is not a single person that impresses me enough to want them to win - that has never happened to me before -

I like Chris until he screamed the whole song on Tuesday - Simon nailed it when he said - you just crossed the line - this is American Idol and that will not appeal to the masses

It will be interesting to see him do country!!

I agree. I haven't watched much this year, maybe I watch the last few weeks.

Actually this song is even on a commercial on T.V. too!!! I am positive that this is where she heard this !!! Oh well at least she doesn't realize what she is saying!!!

Kidnapped American reporter Jill Carroll was set free Thursday in Iraq unharmed. Thank goodness! Here's the link to the article.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~***~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

American reporter Jill Carroll was set free Thursday, nearly three months after she was kidnapped in a bloody ambush that killed her translator. She said she had been treated well..

That is so good to hear.

Ok, so no more TV, movies, radio or anything else. We should just move to the DDA Cult Compound.

Wow! Another Ranger fan -- I didn't think we would have many on this board. Go Rangers! (They need all the help they can get!)
