I made Lizzie autograph cards using blank 4x6 index cards. I put coloring book images on the cards for her to color. I also made her some with clip art and made a set with the flags from the Epcot countries. I also made a set for Halley. They live in Jacksonville and will visit us on Saturday. On her's I put "Halley's Friends" on the top and "Walt Disney World" on the bottom. That way she can use them in the future too. I purchase a coupon organizer for the cards and seperated them into Mickey & friends, princesses, Peter Pan, ....I'll let you know how it goes actually finding the cards while in the parks.

Great shirts!!! Great autograph pages!!!!

Well isn't that interesting.

My assignments are in

The last two were really hard as the questions were so badly worded, and every time we asked for clarification we got a different anwer, so I'm not sure the tutor even knows what his own question means!

But I did the best I could and they've been sent - so its not worth worrying about them now until I get the results back!

So I'm now going to enjoy what's left of my week off without being glued to my laptop... pity the has just left and the rain has returned

And we just got two lovely new sofas delivered - gotta go help DH saw the other two up so that we can get them out of the house and take them to the tip

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

yes, the welps came up opn sat. may 6 then a few days later more came up then a few days later more. They itch like crazy. I am going to go buy some cornstarch I think and try that for the itching.

Cornstartch is fabulous! My mom has used it for yrs and I have used it in place of baby powder. IMO is works great for rashes and itching and the best part is if it gets in the mouth.... no problem at all.

Feel better soon.

Good morning! Hope everyone is having a great day I just ordered the 3 piece Mickey luggage, does anyone have these? I also got the 20 dvd set off of Ebay, I can't wait to watch these! Can you tell I am having withdrawals here lol

I mentioned in the past about my youngest ds having some problems, well unfortunetley things have not gotten any better. Riley has always been a very active child & when he was in 2cd grade his teacher suggested that I get him tested for adhd. I did not take this advice, I just figured he was being a normal boy. Maybe I should have listened, I don't know. I have done some research on it & alot of the symptoms sound just like him. I have a meeting with the school today & he also has a Dr appointment to be tested. I do hope that we can get this figured out, I am just so confused as to what is going on with him. I feel guilty as well that I did not do something sooner. I could use some that we find some answers & get Riley on the right track.

Channon I am so sorry to hear about your neighbor, I could not even begin to imagine

Kate, Tammi, Kristine, Marti, Paul, & Matt I know you will have a wonderful time! I am so jealous, wish I were going soon. Look forward to hearing your reports & seeing some pictures

Amy I am sorry about your dog, but am happy to hear that you & Matthew are ok.

I know I have missed alot, I may not post often but I read everyday & think of you all. Here are some & for those in need.

Prayers and PD for Riley!

It's been a busy few days around here. Things always start to get crazy in May as the last concerts of the year, etc. are squeezed in.

Saturday was Miles' birthday party for his friends. We had it at the local gymnastics center with "Magical Inflatables" which are huge inflated animals for the kids to play in. They start the party with some gymnastics: tumbling, trampoline, and rings. Then they inflate the Inflatables and let the kids go crazy (within reason). Finally, we had a room for cake and presents.

This is the cake that I made for that birthday party.

Beth

OMG I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

I so want to make this!!!

FABULOUS!!!!!

 

[kc10family]

Yesterday was his actual birthday, so we had cake and presents at home with just the family. Since his third birthday, his requested cake has been chocolate cake with strawberries on top. Last year, he wanted them to be choclate-covered strawberries. I got a little fancy dipping the berries this year.

Here is are a couple of photos of the cake covered with the strawberries.

Beth

STOP IT!!!!!!

I can't look at these pictures! I am gaining weight!

You are great!!!!

Madelyn update.
Her IV is out she has been on room air for awhile according to my husband. she weighed 1lb 14oz at birth and is now 2lbs 5 oz.

So great to hear! More PD and prayers for her.

Thank you for all your supportive comments about our house and about Libby too! She's still limping a bit, but she's definitely putting more weight on her paw, so I'm confident I only sprained her a bit. This morning, when the window guy showed up to replace a couple of our screens, she even tried to jump all over him, so she's almost back to her old self.

I did have a bit of a scare today though. I've been having what I self-diagnosed as braxton hicks since Monday, but this afternoon I noticed some blood in my urine. I didn't panic, but poor Kevin dropped everything at work to take me to the doctor, and it wasn't easy to find a babysitter with a half-hour's notice (Alyssa was napping). Luckily, everything seems fine (blood pressure, not dialated, etc.) but the doctor's pretty sure I have a bladder infection. They're running some tests, and I'll probably have another pill to pop by week's end. She also said the braxton hicks are most likely correlated.

I'm so relieved that I'm not on bedrest and that Matthew isn't joining us just yet, but this definitely made me realize we need a plan when it comes to Alyssa's care and maybe I should just go ahead and pack a bag too.

So, that was my day! I'm looking forward to just sitting back and watching American Idol and Lost tonight.

I hope Marti, Paul, Matt, Kristine, Tammi, Kate, Bernadette, and your kiddos have a great weekend!

Here's some and for everyone not feeling 100% and lots of prayers to all who requested them too.

Amy

P.S. Glynis, I don't believe for a second that you are Donald Duck! You are way too nice!!! Now Dawn and me...well, we're a different story!

PD and prayers for you and your family.


Amy I am sending you a pm (ref SSP)

 

[kc10family]

My due date is July 14th.

Amy

He is welcome to share the 20th w/ me.

Hi Paula, what are you doing up so late?

Prayers and PD for Riley!

 

[kc10family]

Hi Everyone!! I hope that the last few days have treated you all well. It looks like I'm only about 45 pages behind so maybe I'll be able to catch up easily after all. Before I get caught up in that...Have a great trip Tammi, Kristin, Kate, Marti, Paul and Matthew!! I'll be thinking of you jealously (if that's a word).

Terra and I had a pretty good trip. We had fun playing with my sister and her cousins on Saturday. Sunday was in-law time and it went about as expected. Noth many words said to me, but Terra had a blast. At least 2 out of 3 remembered my birthday as well and my SIL got me a great Vintage Mickey scrapbook. I have considered buying the same one on several occassions and just hadn't done it yet.

We got done early enough on Sunday that we hit DL for fireworks and Fantasmic. We got there at about 8:30 and Terra fell asleep on the way into the parks so the CMs told me not to worry about a ticket for her. First stop was to upgrade my ticket from Christmas to a pass. After the CM figured out how to do it and warned me that she would have to back date it, she forgot that part and dated it for a year out. I didn't notice that until the next day and was just told to enjoy the extra days. Of course, for me that might mean one extra day or two in the parks, but hey the whole upgrade was only $13. The fireworks were AMAZING as always and Fantasmic is one of my most favorite shows ever so there was no complaint from me.

Monday was a big DL day! We did a majority of MK plus Muppets 3D, Monsters ride and Turtle Talk at DCA. All of that with taking it easy early on as the kids were a little slow moving all morning. Terra napped in the park while my friend and her boys headed home for awhile. When they came back, the boys, her stepDD and I rode Space Mountain. It was SOOOO cool!!! I LOVED it! The ride was so smooth and the sound system is amazing (RnRC-esque with the speakers in the seat). The best thing though was the star projections. There are stars everywhere. The projectors make absolutely everything just covered in stars so you feel like you are out in space.

KATE and other soon to be DL first timers - a couple of things...
-Space Mountain at DL is only 40". The seats are side to side so you could sit next to the little ones.
-Splash Mouatain does seat front to back, but according to my friend the last row can seat and adult and younger child.
- I picked up two sets of maps and times guides that I can send to a couple of people if you need them. Just PM me.

Well, I don't think I'll get caught up tonight. We took the red eye back last night and I couldn't get to sleep after barely staying awake in the airport - go figure! So, I got about 3, maybe 4, hours of sleep and then went straight to work. Then Terra napped a little this afternoon so there went my go to bed early theory.

Oh well! Hope everyone had a Happy Mother's Day and I'll be catching up with you soon. Maybe with a few talkative ones out this weekend making us all jealous I'll get my chance.

Green is no longer for you.

I am happy to hear you had a great time. Get lots of sleep and we will chat w/ you soon.

Well dress rehearsal went well for my 2 DD's yesterday & today. Yesterday was so crazy..3 hours of rehearsal with my 10 year old yesterday & today thankfully was only 1 hour with my 5 year old. They both were so cute. My oldest is in hip hop, jazz, ballet, & tap. She really has come along in her dancing & I am quite proud (I sure as heck can't dance). My little one does the pre K class which is tap/ballet combo. They both love performing & I am looking forward to the dance recitals this weekend. Only one more rehearsal to go tom'w & then Friday & Saturday are the recitals. My MIL & Mom will be here all w/e so I will be totally stressed to the limit. They are a hard bunch to please BUT I am totally focusing on my daughters. I'll post some pictures of their costumes when I can (i have a 35mm & once I develop the film I'll scan them into the pc) I need to get a digital camera at some point!!!

Have a great time at Disney you May 18th DDA's!!!

Amy, Glad to hear all is well with you & Matthew.

Bear74, glad to hear she is gaining weight!

Clare, Congrats!!!

I am off to bed..I am pooped. Tomorrow I have to get my house cleaned. Looks like an explosion in a toy store over here!

Have a great night everyone.

PD for a great weekend

Hi Paula, what are you doing up so late?

I am not a smart lady.

 

[tinknme]

I am not a smart lady.

 

[kc10family]

Janet, I had so many little things to do today, that everytime I got on to read and post, something took me off the computer.

So I figured I would get to it now and then off to bed so i can get up again at about 6ish.
