The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 9

[bethbuchall]

My DD called today and said that the Susquehana has crested where she lives and they were not affected at all. Now for no rain to fall for a few days so it can go back down.

Yeah! Great news!

Agh! I have 1 month, 3 weeks til Disney & I haven't gotten my shirts together!!! I was so organized last year..had the shirts made months in advance..Have to decide which ones the kids want me to make..DH says he is not wearing any this time. ..hey he did it once..that's all I could ask for.

I just panicked about that myself! I will get serious when we get back home after the 4th. I haven't even finished designing for us yet! I'm starting to feel panicky again...also because it's coming up so soon and then I have no idea when we'll be back.

Pounce....

Hello!!! We've missed you and Marti around here!

Beth

 

[bethbuchall]

In case I forget to mention it later...We'll be gone through Wednesday. That's my official leaving the DDA board notification.

Well, I've gotten caught up on reading. I'm going to try to sneak in a little reading at work tomorrow, but probably won't post. I'm off on a camping trip for the weekend tomorrow afternoon. I won't be back until sometime Tuesday evening. Have a great weekend everyone, and enjoy our great country's birthday.

June -- have a great and safe trip!

No, the first week of Oct. so you're fine.

Whew....I don't even want to look at my itenerary anymore! My head hurts!

 

[mommykds]

That's great. We also have a Cape May dinner in Oct. maybe you can give us a review when you get back.

Absolutely! This will be our first time there.

I am panicking too. I feel like this trip is coming fast. I guess it is because we were just there in October? Anyway, I'll start after the 4th too..too much to do this weekend. I like to match the kids but my 10 year old won't wear the same design as my 7 & 5 year olds.

Have a great day everyone..Happy 4th!

a whole new what????????

Oops. I couldn't think of the word last night and got side tracked. When I came back, I forgot that I hadn't finished it. A whole new wardrobe.

 

[UP Disney]

I haven't thought about shirts, I'm too wrapped up in the wedding..

What to wear? Ah matching tshirts. So I guess I'm working on shirts afterall!!!

We could get an engagement picture of Pal Mickey & Minnie and someone could come up with a design for that! I know we could probably get the women to wear it but I don't know about the boys and men! Well, Bill won't wear one anyway so I guess Chuck is the only one left. I can usually talk him into anything.

Boy that wedding thread has people sending out "Save the Date" announcements before the official announcements go out. Some of them were really cool. That's a neat idea.

Tia - were you interested in the GG or are you on with with the TGM'ers?

I am on the fence! Mainly because I don't know how many of me there are. My grandma may come along for a few days. Then I started thinking that maybe I could bring my niece with us. (Even funnier is that somewhere in there I thought "well Connor would be free for the most part so maybe I should just bring both of them." Um, hello, Tia! What was my brain thinking honestly contemplating bring THREE kids under four by myself. Some days I just don't know what I am thinking.)

Is the cruise filling up? If I booked would I be able to book 3-4 spots and cancel 1-2 of them later if needed? You said there was a way to pay at 45 days out right?

I just talked to Amy and she had a good visit with the Dr. today. She's still 2-3 cm dilated. This was her last visit before her induction !

They're still getting unpacked and Kevin's trial is wrapping up. She sounded as good as she looks in the pictures!

Thanks for the update, Dawn! I'm so glad that Kevin's trial is wrapping up.

BTW, did you ever get a purple Ramone for Christopher? I noticed that our McD had a new bin full this morning and can check on the way home if you still need it. I know they had it previously as that's where I got Terra's.

Maybe you can do some of the themed designs like the squares that Julia made and some of the frames that others did. That way they have a similar design but they are still different. You could even do different colored shirts because the frames would make them "match".

I'd save the space for the max in your party just in case because Oct. 3rd didn't have availability for 10 and we really couldn't do it the other days...
You can pay for them at your 45 day mark (August 15th??) and still cancel them 7 days prior. Trust me, I'll be sending out reminders because if we don't have enough, the GG has to be canceled off!

Good luck if you bring all the kids! Start looking into ABBF.com and see if they have triple strollers!!

ETA: I ended up switching my dining AGAIN to accomodate the GG...went from the R&C at 5:50pm (which I don't think we could make it over to the Cont. in time) to Chef de France at 5:10pm...not as excited about Chef's, but if we eat enough "around the world" we'll just skip dinner and then snack again at the GG dessert table...

How can they retract it after everyone might have plans?

I think that it was just confusion among a few people. Various offices work on different schedules and I think some people here were copied on emails that only applied to another office. If I had actually made plans, there is no way I'd be here, but as it is I didn't so oh well. I may not stay the whole day though as I think most of the people I deal with are out.

Our library gives out caterpillars to any child who is interested in butterflies...today, Kirsten's butterfly made its debut!! We had a lot of fun watching this process...2 more to go!

How cool! I want to do that with Terra sometime when she gets a little older.

 

[tmfranlk]

Well my little brother is officially graduated from fireman 1 class!! I was so proud of him and even got a little teary when they called his name..I just know he worked SO hard for this!
Here is a picture of him and I from before the ceremony

Yeah!! Congratulations to your brother!!!

 

[tmfranlk]

Is that supposed to be in August???

No the "Dreams" stuff starts Oct 1st.

 

[tmfranlk]

Pounce....

Very nice.

Good to see you, Paul. How's the new job treating you?

 

[tinknme]

Good morning

Love all the pictures that have been posted

Everyone that is leaving for the holiday weekend, have a safe & fun trip

Congratulations & to those in need!

I booked our room for my ds 13th birthday in Jan. I am a little worried about flight prices. I checked airtran & right now flights are over $300 each way I know I have awhile, so hopefully they will come down. If not I told ds we would not be able to go, so I will keep my fingers crossed.
