Alright!I have 3 dozen in my closet too. DH doesn't know cause I didn't want to listen to "...it's gonna make a mess" lecture.
Please, Go right ahead and use them. Actually I have a couple more Peeps Corps ones that I didn't post because I didn't think anyone liked my posts.
morning everyone!
just trying to sneak on for a few minutes before the craziness starts. DH and DS are getting haircuts here at the house in a couple of hours, maggie is spending the night at my MILs, my dad is coming over to babysit dennis tonight. why, do you ask?
we are going to the city for dinner and a broadway show!!we're seeing "young frankenstein" with another couple, really great friends.
we are lucky to do this at least once a year with them, the boys give us these tickets as part of our Christmas present.
next weekend i'm going into the city for a couple of nights for a girls' weekend. woohoo! we are seeing "mary poppins" and going to something called "the prom" it's like an 80s prom, like tony and tina's wedding, if you've heard of that.
so i'll be busy, but i'll still be here during the week! i miss you guys!
i read everything i missed, and you're all making me laugh! i'll try to stay on as much as i can!
p.s. thanks for all your well wishes for denny. i have not been woken during the night in the last 2 nights!!
You are too sweet
DH says I tend to take things too far and I thought that might have been the case with the peeps thread. I love the darlin' 
but opposites did attract in our case. He is very right-minded and DD and I 
to the left.
Oh!! Thanks so much!! This is a huge help. The azaleas were there when we moved in, and they really seem to fit the look of the yard, but the yard is much too shady for them. Before ripping them out, I wanted to see if a good prune would redistribute some of the energy and help the plant not to be so leggy. We're on a tight gardening budget, so, although I don't agree w/ a lot of the choices the previous owners made, I'm trying to work with what I have. (I do like the azaleas, I just don't think they were the right choice for our wooded lot.) Also, we are probably going to thin some trees in the next year or so (we had 3 fall on our house during a bad storm 2 years ago and had to get a new roof). We love the woods and picked this house b/c of it, so we don't want to go drastic, but we do want to take down a few that are within striking distance of the house and a few more that don't look so healthy. I'm thinking that when we do this, the azaleas really might thrive.
Anyway, just rambling... I definitely have Spring Fever and just want to get outside. I'm no professional gardener, but I'm growing to love it more and more each year.
Thanks again!
I love to watch things grow-I think it is wonderful when people remember to stop and watch nature. We don't have a winter, but I know I would be the first one out looking at new growth poking through the snow. I "walk the gardens" everyday at home. DH just reminds me to put on my robe when I go from side beds to front
Hope you have a great time...you certainly deserve it after the week you had.
And I hate to say it but sometimes the peep thread feels kinda cliquey. It's fun to read but it's not like being over here. DH and I are the same way. Nobody thought we would stay together this long and yet it's been 13 years.
Bopsmom-I too love your pics and please post any and all that you want on here. I think they are hilarious.
) I always tell him he knew what he was getting into. when he married me, but sometimes we forget.
Thanks, I kinda wondered. I hate to post and hear crickets.
Not here though, no one leaves you hanging.
I know what you mean, when DH and I passed 16 this year we looked at each other and went "huh?" 16 years? Whodathunkit? We knew each other 5 years before we got together(he was my BFF's boss and I thought he was a tighta@#, and he thought I was a flighty trouble-maker
I'm glad someone likes my pictures. I enjoy doing them.
I'l take pics of all the different places we hide the peeps in stepmom's house and post them here. And besides, he lets me get my disney fix once a year so how bad could it be.
If you don't mind doing at least one more, could you come up with something with a peep in disney world? I figure something like that would be great to let stepmom know we were doing this since we are the only "disney freaks" in the family.
Hello...anyone here?
MagiKitty I giggle when I think of the Roomba bumping into everything.
Bopsmom I like your pictures too.
Let me know how the peeping goes. Did you see the other ones posted on the Peeps thread the "lost" peeps corps cards? Whoops, just saw that you did. 
Oh My I see you only have 1 month and 1 day till your trip. LUCKYLUCKY!
I've just popped in from my Printshop program to check in. I am working on DD birthday party invites- she's off to the rodeo and Hannah concert today. Just me and DH home alone-you'd think we'd be doing something much more fun!
Oh, I think I just realized what you meant by more fun. 
You'll be our P Allen Smith of the TK thread. I so envy you getting out there to plant already. (Even if you do have to tuck in the tomatoes at night) I thought of you when I saw the Huston rodeo on the news last night. Told DH I knew all about that and the big BBQ from my buddy's on the Dis. He laughed and said I spend too much time on this board. 
I would love to have a girls night-mine always seem to include a bunch of 10 year olds.I've heard of Tony & Tina's Wedding and thought that would be fun to see. The Prom sounds even more fun. Is this playing exclusively in NY or will they take this on tour like T&T Wedding? Have fun but come back and tell us all about it.
mine says the same-I told him at least when I talk on the boards- someone listens.Bopsmom - love the peeps pics too. Keep the gardening advice coming too.
I've been doing it for years, DH thinks I am the only one. We are having a Mystery Dinner Party for DD and 13 of her closest friends. Please give me any ideas you may have for this theme. It is set in the Bahamas(fab star invites all her fab friends to cruise the Bahamas on her boat when dumdumdaaaaa 
Island Mystery parts sounds fun. Little more sophisticated than mine right now.
I have experience w/ kiddie parties. Pirates walking the plank or hitting a Randal shaped pinata for a Monster's Inc party. My specialty comes in with the cakes. Although I have never considered myself a baker/decorator by trade, I always TRY to create a unique cake for the kids b-days in hopes of making good memories.
Here's a beach one I found on the Coolest Cakes website:
The sand is made w/ brown sugar and then you could add a ship wrek to your scene. Let me think some more about other ideas
I could "float" a captain's hat on the water since that was what the "victim" of the mystery was wearing.
You got it.Are you implying that being on the DIS isn't fun enough?
