Prayers and pixie dust to all those in need.

Reddy, for almost there!

Nan, that is way too much for a holiday weekend!

Lisa, hope Megan is feeling better!

It is rainy and COLD!!!!! Brrrrr! Supposed to be this way til Monday! My parents are due in today and then will figure out the rest of the weekend plans. Supposed to have a family cookout tomorrow but may change plans.

I think I need a nap!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

I know it's alot Cassey!! But my motivation is if I get it done now.. I have all summer to spend with my kiddos and most important is that I don't want to be putting the soccer items together during DS16's senior season and miss something important... I literally want everything done so when I go to games I only need to take photos and cheer! I'm even buying a new shirt for the games this season. DD has one that says.... "Keep Calm and Love a Soccer Stud" LOL

 

[Reddy]

James is getting ready!!
he is watching the Haunt Mansion on you tube
over & over & over again

Afternoon!

Happy long holiday weekend! Not too much on tap for the weekend.
Went out to breakfast this morning with DH then went to the barbershop for him to get a haircut and then to BJ's for a few items.

Have our global entry appts. at the airport this afternoon at 3pm. We want to get trusted traveler status so we can breeze thru customs and TSA screenings when we fly. It's normally $100 a person for a 5 year card but since we paid with our AMEX - it was FREE, yay!

Plan on spending time at the pool tomorrow and Monday. Monday is also our 13th wedding anniversary We'll grill out some steaks and have a nice bottle of wine to celebrate.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys time with friends and family...

Was up way too early to get my dining reservations. Couldn't get Cindy's on the day we wanted, but were able to get one for another day, so hoping I can change that tomorrow, if they "release" the tables. Was able to get back to sleep for a bit of a nap earlier.

Working on my last set of pages for the AK swap now. Should have the last sets of pages on Tuesday, so they will go out next Saturday, once I set up the pickup online.

At some point this weekend, I need to:

Grocery shop
Do
Send an email reminder to parents about bake sale on Monday after the parade
Finish Swap
Pre-sort swap packages I have
Pics of pages not posted
Cookies - MoLo is doing

Tomorrow is my 18th wedding anniversary. DH and I will celebrate next weekend. Morgan has a sleepover, so we're going to go on a date

There is free admission to the Museum of Fine Arts this weekend, but the weather is supposed to be really cruddy, not sure if we'll make it in.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Happy Anniversary to you Becky and your DH!



Happy Anniversary to you and your DH Jennifer!


Dh and DS12 are up at FILs... so I took the 2 big kids out.. they are flippin' hilarious!!! I'm so glad my kids are all close....they have so many inside jokes and they get to laughing so hard they have to run for the bathroom or can't breathe!! Laughter is such a blessing to have in the family!!!

Ok, now to go be the mean mommy and make them get started on stuff while my craftroom starts up so I can start on the soccer cuts... then I need to inventory my Morocco pages to make sure I have everything... darn cat jumped up on my pile of papers.... anyone want a cat, he is free and will come with food! Love this cat but he likes my scrapping supplies too much!

 

[mommy2mrb]

Happy Anniversary to Becky and Jennifer and their DH's

sounds like Cassey and Jennifer can use some naps so happy I don't have to get up at 3am to make my ADR's! love my TA!!!

Reddy, hope you can keep James occupied until you leave! hope you have a magical trip!

Megan is feeling much better, so we will get out to do some errands and maybe lunch out!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Happy Anniversaries! Hope you enjoy them to the fullest.
Ah Reddy, how exciting!! Safe travels if I forget to say them later on.

As you all can see, I am posting. Why am I posting when the campground doesn't have internet? Because I am home. Long story short, first campsite was not a great location and the campground was fully booked. No way to move to another one. They called another state campground and they had one available and switch our reservation to it. Unfortunately at 9pm at night we realized that our trailer would just work safely on that site. It had a slope that was high in the back and low in the front. That means we have to lift the front end up high to make it level. Too high. On a little bitty single pole at the nose of the trailer. Sitting on a too skinny too tall block [we usually use it flat and stood it on it's side to try to get the trailer higher, railroad tie so you can have idea of size]. The stabilizers would have to placed on those orange lego blocks to reach the ground and those would not have supported the trailer if the nose fell off of the railroad tie. No way was I was risking breaking our trailer right before Disney.

Yes, I am accepting donations for keeping your skies clear and sunny this weekend. Unfortunately, I cannot help you with temperature.

Still working the blah feeling I have from not being able to camp.

The trailer is now completely unpacked and cleared out. I will start the Disney packing soon.

No set plans for the rest of the weekend, but I'll be doing something I don't like I'm sure.

 

[JJ&JHsmom]

Happy Anniversary to Jennifer and DH and Becky and DH!!!!!

Jennifer, glad you were able to nap. It was waay too early this morning. Me, I am going to be in bed by 9.

Annie, so sorry to hear about your camping troubles. Hope you get to do something fun along with the not so fun.

My parents are here! We are heading to my sister's in a bit so we can spend some time together. Tomorrow we are getting together at my brother's for a cookout. Not sure if will be sunny, but hopefully it won't rain! I volunteered to make potato salad so it is off to the store in the morning for me.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

that so explains while it's cool here there is NO rain!!

I am so sorry that camping was a bust for the weekend...and I definitely agree I would NOT want to be rigging up my trailer to make it stable and have something go wrong and damage to the trailer and to any of you if you were inside and had to go for a ride you were not expecting!

well, at least you are home and your trailor is safe for its upcoming travels!!!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I was a teary eyed mess yesterday, but I am okay now. Hubby took us out to lunch and is taking us out to dinner to give us some 'vacation' feel to the weekend. We are going to set up the tent in yard tonight and play camp. Packing it in was definitely the right choice to make.

Is the paper sale at JoAnn's Monday only? I looked at the on-line flyer but didn't see it listed. They don't send me real catalogs anymore. Guess too many months went by without me buying anything.

 

[mommy2mrb]

sorry about the camping Annie, but you made the right decision to stay safe! hope you can have a fun weekend at home!

 

[rlovew]

Sunday:

service

[morgansmom2000]

Sorry about the camping, Annie. The online ad says the paper sale is for the weekend. Do you have the extra 10% off coupon too?

It's rainy and wet here, we obviously didn't get the memo about you all not camping.

I'm DONE with my swap! All I have to do is update my supply list for each set. I will print them out this weekend.

While I did nap, I slept horribly, so I'll be in bed early myself

 

[Reddy]

OK gotta think up something to keep me busy today - I hate waiting

Annie I'm sorry about the camping

 

[JJ&JHsmom]

Reddy, I dislike waiting too! I can keep you busy here if you'd like.

Okay, potatoes and eggs are on to boil. Waiting to hear from Joshua that they are on their way home. Grocery shopping is done. Need to start laundry and then I will work on cutting another group for the Epcot swap while I wait for potatoes to cook and cool.

Hopefully it stops raining soon or we are having a cook in instead of cookout!
