o no! i didnt know you lived in New Jersey? (or somewhere around here!) We ended up having fun..there were 10 adults , a 4 year old, a 7 year old and a 7 month old...We just ate and left, but it was a good time!

Nope, not in New Jersey, I live in the Reading, PA area.

I'm wilted!!!

Sports....sports....sports...sports...sports....sports....sports..sports....sports.....Sports....sports....sports...sports...sports....sports....sports..sports....sports.....Sports....sports....sports...sports...sports....sports....sports..sports....sports.....

I'm really having a hard time juggling work, the end of school activities and SPORTS games. We've had so much needed rain lately that the make-up games are overlapping regular games between both boys and both sports, plus it seems like all the boys schoolmates have birthday parties to throw in to the mix.

Paula -- your list was just amazing! AND thank you so much for posting cute pictures of your girls. Between the girls and the banter, you always bring a smile to my face.

Thanks for asking, and I hope you and your girls have an amazing weekend!

Marci, ​

Did you say your boys are into sports? I was a little unsure from your post.
I hope things go well and fast, but not so fast that they become a blur.

To much still in the air.
How can I book air fare.
I don't even know where I will be living.
I also would like to buy a small 2 bedroom, 2 bath.
Condo or a townehouse.
So I don't want to spend a lot of money.
I also need the money to move.
Even though I can put the move on my taxes.
I have to pay it out 1st.

I would have loved to join you all next week.
Anyway you all have a great time.
Kate take it easy on that knee.

I have no real time fram for my next trip, but I am always planning my next trip.
What will I do different then last time?
Will the girls like this or that now?
What will be the first thing I do this time.
Have I checked my trip box or what's missing?

Junk like that makes me feel like i am planning for the next trip, whenever it might be.

Best of luck for the move.

So I have been one very busy person this morning. I wish I could take a nap.

I went to A.C. Moore and bought 36 small flower pots and 7 large flower pots, plus paint to paint all of them. They are on sale for 20 cents a piece. The small ones will be party favors, I might need more. The large ones will be used to give to my Brownie troop one for each girl as their award plants, I am attaching all of their patches to popsicle sticks and skewers and sticking them in the pots to make a boquet of patches.

Went to the post office and got stamps

Stuffed my envelopes, sealed and stamped them. The addresses will have to come later as that was a secret mission as I had to sneak unto my Dad's computer to get the address files off as my Mom has no idea how to do this. We will have to go over the list later to decide who I need to create address labels for.

I called one of my Dad's old co-workers for more addresses.

I finished painting the Brownie wings for Bridging

I sent an email out for pictures for my project.

I typed up and printed my trip forms for Girl Scouts.

I created a flyer for the bridging ceremony.

I set up the reservations for my trip to Walt Disney World in August. I also emailed travel agent list of places to eat so that my ADR's could be set up.

I think that is all.

I should have painted my display board and flower pots but I didn't get to.

Now I am off to work I might not be around till Monday. Have a good weekend. Sending and for a great weekend and good weather. Happy Mother's Day.

Bon bon’s and soap opera’s where when?

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!

Hope you all have a great day.

My DH ordered something for me for Mother's Day from Amazon and used my account. I promised him I wouldn't read the confirmation emails but I just got an email from them...."As someone who has ordered tools from Amazon we thought you'd be interested in....." YIKES. I wonder what he could have ordered. He just did the order on Tuesday night so I probably won't even know on Mother's Day.

So? What was it?

 

[kc10family]

I am sooooooo excited about tomorrow morning....Saturday. I am having a Mother's Day Brunch at my house for the "girls" in my family. I am fixin' a big breakfast with pancakes w/ apples or strawberry toppings, egg & sausage casserole, sliced strawberries and cantelope. I bought the expensive really rich chocolate milk and orange juice.

I am having a massage person.......(friend of mine who works at Spa Sydell)...........to bring her chair massage and the table massage. They don't know about the massage part.........they just think they are coming for a relaxing "girls brunch". My daughter, daughter-in-law, cousin and sister-in-law are all getting the 15 minute chair massage.........My Aunt and my Mom are getting the 30 minute table massage.

Are they going to be surprised or what!!!!


I can't wait!!!!! Lynn

Sounds like so much fun. Let us know how it went.

Good evening everyone! I am about 40 pages behind

Denise I am happy to hear that you get to go to DC & meet everyone, what fun!

Kate, Tammi, & Kristine - I look forward to hearing about your stay at the Dolphin.

Kate I love the pictures of your children with PM, how cute

I know I have missed alot so here is some for those in need.

I went to the dentist yesterday & felt yuck the rest of the day. Riley had a baseball game last night & it was freezing! We had our coats & blankets wrapped around us Dh said it felt like football weather & I agree lol My older ds Garrett had his picture in the paper Wednesday. Our local paper was taking shots of their game & he took a cute picture of him blowing a bubble If I had a scanner I would post it.

Time to catch up to see what you all have been up to

PD for some good warm weather!
Is your local paper online? Would the picture be there?

Make sure you keep that picture for him for when he is married.

Now whether you are a mother or not have a great day. Spend some time with a special woman in your life, whether it is a mother, grandmother, daughter, aunt, godmother, etc. Mother's come in many different forms.

Speaking of Crush - he's not been around in a while, did we upset him do you think

Maybe he and AlterEgo have something goin on.
Do we have to send them a formal request in triplicate to come visit?

 

[kc10family]

If any of you are doing the superhero zizzlingers and would be interested in trading for duplicates, please PM me. We did our 2 packages this morning and Christopher is hooked!

I can't seem to find any of them and I had no idea them came in superhero's also.
I will continue to look.

Are they in the toy section? That is where I have been looking.

 

[kc10family]

Her name is madelyin

Thank you. Prayers said and will continue.

Do you have an update?

 

[kc10family]

finally caught up.
I wasn't able to do the march of dimes walk this morn. as I had difficulty getting to sleep last night and could not get up when the alarm went off. I was bit by what I thought were masquitos last weekend but the spots are still really itchcy and the hydrocortizone cream was not cutting it. so took a long time to fall asleep; I have scrathced them so much through my clothes that I have big welps on my legs.

Try putting corn starch on them. Just use it like a powder.

Happy Saturday everyone...

We just got back from Dutch Wonderland, an amusement park in Lancaster PA. The girls had so much fun. We went with another couple and their 3yr old DD. The weather was perfect and there was no lines on any of the rides.

I have been skimming over the posts from Thursday night and Friday...

Bear74 Prayer being said for your friends DD.

I have determined that I definetly watch way too much TV. I Tivo everything, I cannot watch TV in real time anymore, and here is a list.

Sun- Cold Case, Desparate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy
Mon-Nothing
Tuesday- NCIS and The Unit
Wednesday- Amazing Race Alias, I tivo the entire season and DH and I have a marathon weekend
Thursday- Survivor, CSI, ER
Fri- Las Vegas, Close to Home
Sat-Nothing
I also do General Hospital, but I go in spurts- if it is terrible then I will not watch it for a while. I had almost a 2 year break the last time I stopped watching.

I don't know if I will get a chance to check in tomorrow. We are doing breakfast with my parents. Dinner with the inlaws, this is a triple celebration- Mother's Day, MIL bday and MIL/FIL anniversary. I like this as it gets it all done in one day. Plus my girlfriend is having a get together at her house so we may stop in there and that is at least an hour drive.
Happy Mother's Day to all my DDA Friends!

What a busy day you must be having while I type this.
I am sure it is just wonderful......busy, but wonderful.

You can certainly be part of the "Ellen/Elin/Ellyn" Club! My name was supposed to be Ellin but the person who recorded my birth certificate was Swedish and she thought is was supposed to be Elin, so it was spelled that way. I love having a different name, and I LOVE that you are the only Glynis that I know!

E3 is not a sub club of the DDA cult!

 

[kc10family]

I love unique names, I wish mine was more unique. My parents were going to spell my name Rebequah or Rebekah, but they settled on the typical Rebecca Ann. I wish it was spelled with the "q" as it would have been very unique but alas it was not meant to be.
My great Aunt wanted me to be named Sharlotte Rose, why she wanted me named that I'm not sure, but she never had any kids herself.

Unique names? Try Cula (my grandmother) or Zola (my aunt).
