Tim and Lesley Year of Million Compromises/TONS pics- 8/5 help me pg. 164!!!

[MRNsMommy]

DO IT!!!! You won't regret it. Lauren is 3 1/2 , she'll be 4 in October.
Lesley

Yes Ma'am!!! Hehe! And wow! What day in October? My DD's (Reagan) bday is Oct. 20th!

 

[Gina35]

Lesley~Thanks so much for the Costco info...and for responding to everyone.
You really are so kind.
All posters!~ Sorry for this quick hijack....I need your help!! I keep reading Lesley's comments about Kona and want to go back so badly!! My family doesn't want to go, b/c they said it looks like a cafeteria...and they don't remember thinking the food was so great! (I know they didn't have what I had, or they couldn't say that!) What can I do to change their minds?? You can send me any comments through private posts so that we don't take any more time away from Lesley's great TR!!

 

[momtotanmanandraerae]

Lesley - Lauren is just so precious!! I loved the photos. I have been on the fence about doing it for my dd (Reagan too -MRNsMommy!!). She will be 3 1/2 when we go in December. I do think I will do it. My ds will be 6 too and I am just going to book him the Cool Dude package and just tell him he is doing it. I am sure he would like it!

Thanks also for the fast trip reporting! I love reports that don't take forever. Funny that someone with two young kids can write faster than teenagers who are childless! Oh well!

Keep up the great reports!!

 

[heidia]

Lauren's BBB pics are seriously way too cute!!! I was going to skip the BBB thing for my 4 year old when we go next spring, but reading about your experience has totally changed my mind!! I got all teary just reading about it!! I can't wait to take my little princess!!

 

[ktturner]

NO, please don't slow down. If life is crazy here, I'll still read yours and catch up. I leave for FL in less than two weeks now, gotta see how it all turns out!!!!

OH, and Lauren was beautiful at BBB. I'm glad I've got 2 DDs going so I won't have to worry about one being jealous, but I like the way you handled it!

I know my girls are gonna go nuts over the princess jewelry box. ANd, Papa told me today he wants to send $$ for something completely unnecessary so they can enjoy their money, so I'm thinking they might end up with both the ponies and princess things! (that is their taste to a T!)

Ohh, hearing about your trip always makes me soooo excited! Thanks for sharing!

 

[crarmy]

Just started reading your TR, I am really loving it!! Cute kids

I love tour guide Mike too!! So you think I should stick to his "best days", Does it really a makes a difference?? And forget about EMH??

 

[VanniGirl]

A great update of course!!

I want to go to Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique myself

 

[toony]

Not that it wasn't said yet , but PLEASE don't slow down! Go Lesley!
Just to motivate you a little bit more: It really brings some magic in my oh so boring, but stressful life! I don't know if you remember how you felt at the end phase of your teacher graduation exams. But me soon to finish University (and do that teacher thing), need some compensation for studying all day long. And your trippie is really good to get my mind off things. And so I read it at the end of the day and fall asleep with a smile.

That situation also explains why I'm not posting that much, sorry! But your TR is awesome and the pics are fantastic!

 

[lovehoney]

Just wanted to thank you for posting about the water play areas. We have a splash pad at our Zoo and I forgot to put the boys in swimsuits so we just made a quick trip to the bathroom and took off their underwear. Their shorts dried fast after playing in the water but underwear takes forever to dry. I would have never have thought of it.

I'm loving your trip report!

 

[momtoBrandon&Jacob]

I gotta say that I never have enough patience to read TR's but I am hooked on yours. I love all the pics too! So I wanted to share a funny story after reading about your kids in the splash fountains. We went to Toontown for a little bit on our last trip and if you've ever been there, you probably know about Donald's boat and the splash fountains they have there. Well, we were there on a pretty hot day so the boys took full advantage of the sprinklers. They ended up getting SOAKED!! I must've turned away for 5 minutes and that's all it took. Of course, their underwear was wet and they ended up being all cold! But you're right that they're just kids and it's only water...people really need to lighten up and enjoy life a bit more .

 

[mikamah]

I was just checking out the trip reports board, and found this!!!! Your last trip report was the first one I read when I was planning our trip last year, and I just loved it. I can't wait til I have more time to come back here and get caught up. And it's about time for me to start planning a trip for next spring and your story and pics will definitely get me more excited.

 

[kahluacream]

Just checking in... Look forward to your next update!

 

[disneyeeyorefan]

I've been reading your trip report and love it. BBB looks liks so much fun, but I have 2 boys so I'm hoping I will get a niece soon to buy princess things for.
Looking forward to the next installment.

 

[timandlesley]

Sorry guys,it's been another crazy day here. They hacked into my email AGAIN TWO TIMES today . I changed the password this morning and now again adn they hacked it again so I started up a new email account and am going with that for now as we report them to the police and get new programs installed on the computer to prevent it from happening again.
It's been a long day.
I did win a HUGE raffle basket from the 4th of July festival we went to last night though, they called this morning, valued at 425.00!!! That made my day!
Gotta run, gotta finish emailing everyone with my new email acct. Hopefully I'll have time to update later, thanks for understanding!

OMGosh! That really stinks. I wonder how they are getting into your account? Hopefully you get it under control and something can be done about it.

Congrats on the gift basket, that is awesome.

 

[shannon47142]

Lesley

That's horrible--does it affect your work for U of Phoenix?
How fun to win the basket!!

 

[ericafny]

Lesley -

That is horrible to hear about your email account. You have to wonder what kind of person would do that...obviously someone with nothing better to do with themselves. I hope the person didn't cause too much damage and you get it straightened out soon..

Congrats on winning the basket . There must have been some leftover pixie dust from your trip

Anxiously awaiting the rest of the report...it's getting me very excited for my upcoming trip Especially since we are staying at POFQ

 

[dlpcarden]

Sorry to hear about the "hacker". I know it can be a pain to get everything straight again.

Can't wait for day 6

Hello Lesley,

Apologies for the somewhat off topic post.

Based on what you are reporting about your email account it sounds like possibly you have some spyware on your system. Specifically something that may possible be logging keystrokes. That would explain how your account was hacked twice in such a short period if time. There are many programs that will help search these things out. Search Google for Spybot Search and Destroy. It is a good one to start with - even if you have an anti-virus running. If you take it somewhere to have it fixed (cleaned) tell them you highly suspect some key logging software. I would be careful logging into bank accounts, cc accounts, and things like that until you get it looked at. Feel free to ask if you have any questions or need assistance to help identify what may be going on. Not trying to put a down mood on your wonderful trip report but if your account was hacked twice in one day I suspect something fishy is going on.

PM or email me if you need the link to download the program - too low of a post count to post the URL.

Yes Ma'am!!! Hehe! And wow! What day in October? My DD's (Reagan) bday is Oct. 20th!

October 11th actually!

Lesley~Thanks so much for the Costco info...and for responding to everyone.
You really are so kind.

You are quite welcome!

Keep up the great reports!!

Glad you enjoyed it, Reagan will love it and you should just go ahead and book the Cool Dude, Luke would have LOVED to do it that day when Lauren was getting pampered, but I asked him before the fact when I was making the ressies, my mistake!
Love your comment about the teenagers who are childless , MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY, I have a VERY busy life thank you! Thanks for the support.
Lesley

Lesley

Hello Disney dad! Thanks for this, actually after a lot of time on the phone today with techies we figured the exact same thing and Tim has installed a lot of programs onto our computer, we're also doing some other preventative things so they can't get our passwords, I really hope this works, it has been a true pain today. Thanks for taking the time to explain this to us again!
