The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 9

[babytrees]

It's sad, I know, but I LOVE this movie!! With Zac in it, maybe I can use "taking my little sister" as an excuse to get to see it without having to admit my weakness for Hairspray to Phil.

I love Hairspray also and can't wait for it to come out....the article also said Zac is actually going to do all of his own singing instead of a blend of his voice and someone elses.

Hello DDA! i got out of work at 12 today instead of 4, which was nice!!

Now, my exciting news for the day!! Since i got out of work early, i met up with my dad and brother to do some errands..We went to the firehouse, where i was told alex was awake!!! After that, we went to the hospital. They said he was sleeping and my brother and dad went in...After that was my turn. I went in with my dad, and we were in for less than 5 minutes. While we were there, he twitched his leg. I saw his eyes open a tiny bit, and then he opened them all the way and left them open! He looked right at me and you could see his lips moving, as if he were trying to talk or kiss me hello. He lifted up his hand off the bed and my dad held his hand and Alex was squeezing. When my dad let his hand go, he reached for my hand. I held on and squeezed and smiled at him. He squeezed back pretty hard!!
So he is not out of the woods yet at all, but this is a great improvment!!! I was thrilled seeing him respond to me like that--Please keep the prayers coming--THEY ARE WORKING!! thanks!

Hi!

 

[rosiejo]

KristineN -- clean out your PM box please !!

 

[rosiejo]

Thanks I think I'll swing by our Disney store tomorrow.
The BAB Mickey and Minnie's are only at DL and orlando BABW. But, I am picking up the skins for anyone who wants and shipping them and they can stuff them at their own BAB. Or some are having me stuff them that don't have a local BAB. Either way if you want me to pick you up a pair you can PM me I will be leaving Sat. for DL.
The offer stands for anyone who wants a set or a specific one.

I really really should not be asking this but... how much are the skins...?

 

[rosiejo]

That would be like an episode of Dynasty, for those of us 'older' ones that remember that show!

Hey! I remember Dynasty... and I don't want to be one of the "older" ones

Hi!

Hi Amy! Great to see you, how are you feeling? All ready for your impending delivery?

 

[Tammi67]

Hi Amy! Are you settled into your new house? Keeping your legs crossed?

Hope everything is going well.

 

[KMH1]

Thank you!!!​

Thank you so much for your amazing generosity! Kevin and I were absolutely astonished with all the gifts bestowed on Matthew last week. The handmade items are gorgeous, the outfits are adorable, the gift certificate is awesome...I could go on and on! Thank you so much for thinking of Alyssa too, though she does think it all belongs to her.

Kevin and I are so lucky to have stumbled across a "little" thread about t-shirts last year.

I promise to send out individual thank you notes when Kate has a chance to send me a list. In the meantime, here's a collective for you all!

Deb- The cars room looks great.

I am off to get a shower because the bug spray smell is making me feel sick. I sprayed it on myself when I went outside to take pictures so I wouldn't get bit. Unfortunately it did not work and now I am itchy and it is giving me a headache.

Usually I get bitten all summer long, no matter how much bug spray I use. This last month, when we get camping, I was dreading the bug bites. Mine usually swell up to the size of half dollars. Anyway, we were there one whole week, the mosquitoes were out in force, and I came home with zero bug bites!!! I mentioned it to my brother in law, and he asked if I was upping my intake of B vitamins. Since my surgery I have to take a B-12 supplement each day. He told me that bugs hate increased B vitamins, and that is most likely why they left me alone. I don't know if it's true or not, but I didn't have one bite! From now on, I'm going to have my kids take a supplement too.

Quick update, since hanging out the computer is the last thing I should be doing right now.

Kevin got a guilty verdict in his trial but he still has plenty to do with the penalty phase this week, so he's still encouraging Matthew to stay put.

We closed on our old house this past Friday night!

Alyssa still hates swimming lessons, and since she got an ear infection, we ended up skipping quite a few classes last week. Her last session is Wednesday.

Julie and Dave are the best movers and packers (except when it comes to children's shoes).

Slowly, but surely, we are unpacking. I underestimated the cleanliness of the new house, so I'm spending a lot of time cleaning out cabinets and drawers and walls and floors, but it's all coming together.

Most of our baby stuff is still in our rented storage unit. I am encouraging Kevin, hourly, that we have to get this stuff out ASAP!

I am still 2-3 cm. dialated, so unless he changes his mind, Matthew will join us on Friday. My induction is scheduled to start at 7 a.m.

My sister is visiting us through the holiday and my mom is coming down Thursday night to stay through the end of next week.

I'm really, really sorry I can't get caught up on the thread right now. If there's something I absolutely should know about, please send me a PM!

You are all in my thoughts and prayers!
Amy

Glynis,
I remember canning and it was so rewarding.

I know that in most cases I could buy what I can cheaper, but I was brought up that in the summer you gardened and canned. It was always nice to bring up a jar of tomatoes in the dead of winter, and have that fresh taste.

My favorite part is to listen for the lids to pop telling me they all sealed! What a great feeling!

Hi Tammi,

I guess it was just a bit of me going a little nuts. I wanted the BAB Mickey and Minnie because they are rare. I wanted to stuff them myself because it was fun. I love BABs. My grandcildren have quite a collection.

The whole build a bear "thing" is to stuff your bear, give it a heart, fluff your bear and print out its birth certificate and register it. They put a ... for want of a better word, a little lowjack tag inside, so if it is ever lost it can be returned to you...

I am a tad over the top with my Mickey maddness. My room is all Mickey. My wall color is the color of Mickey's feet. I have Mickey phones, sleep on Mickey sheets, in my Mickey pajamas. I shower behind a Mickey curtain, toss my trash in a Mickey trash can, drain my dishes in a Mickey drainer, roll my Disney paper towels off a Mickey towel holder.

I have lamps, curtains, watches, picture frames, dishes, silverware, clothes.. you get the idea. I'm obsessed. I brush my teeth with Mickey shaped toothpaste.

I have the red Mickey luggage, I wear Mickey clothes, my laptop goes in its Mickey laptop carrier. I have Mickey prescription eyeglasses.

So you see, for me, I had to have the BAB Mickey and Minnie and because I have a BABW store close to me, I had her send the skins unstuffed, so I could go to workshop and stuff them myself. That was a mistake, because the other kids couldn't buy one there and they were sad.

But the employees at the store got a real kick out of it and made sure to get my numbers so the Florida Mall could register my M&M and send me their birth certificates and all...

It sounds like you have the house of my dreams! I will never be able to get Alan to the point where he would be comfortable in an all Disney house! I do keep adding small things, and so far he hasn't complained. Someday!

 

[Glynis]

I hadn't thought of the grotto. That would be pretty. Definitely less crowded than waiting for the Mr. Toad car and it would fit more in with the statue theme.

I think we'll go ahead and make a decision for DL: The Grotto it is. Try to get as many statues in your picture as possible! Is that ok, Christy?

 

[Glynis]

Oh now that looks really YUMMY!

It was. Mom and I split it since neither of us can eat much anymore. But it was yummy! They are also selling spotted dick, but I didn't have enough time to try it! That's on my list for my trip in August! Pal Mickey will be with me then, and I can't wait for him to see everything!

It's good to "see" you. I'll be keeping all of my fingers and toes crossed that Matthew stays put for the time being, and that things continue to come together for you!

I really really should not be asking this but... how much are the skins...?

Clare - you may have seen the response by now, but Christi tells me they are $25 each.
