What are you celebrating? Absolutely nothing! TR writing has commenced!

I can't wait to see pics of the bedsrooms. This weekend we all got the flu so we didn't do anything for Valentine's Day but lay around. On Monday DH & I took ds to the movies since we were feeling better.
 
It looks you had a great time in NYC! Your kids are so cute!!

I'm glad you got the Sanaa(did I spell that right?) ADR!! What was with the CM not knowing anything about it?! that's strange!
 
:banana: :cheer2: for Sanaa!! I can't believe the CM had no idea what you were talking about :confused3

The themes for your kids' rooms sounds so cool! I cant wait to see it when you post the pictures.

That was also nice of your exDH to invite you to dinner that night with them and buy you flowers and candy from them too. My valentine's day was TERRIBLE...BF and I both worked all day and then we couldnt get into any restaurants that night without a 2 hour wait which caused an argument :headache: So Monday (president's day) we went to breakfast in the morning, he washed my car for me and we made dinner at my house at night. Then tonight we went shopping and out to Friday's for dinner. So I think he made up for the bad vday :laughing:

I've never liked Valentine's Day much. I would much prefer to be given flowers or whatever on an ordinary day, not the day Hallmark declares to be 'a day of love'

Sounds like you had a very nice Valentines Day! That was very nice of the EXDH! So what kind of food is Sanaa suppose to have ? I'm out of the loop although I have heard about it! LOL!

I'm not sure if Sanaa has an exact menu yet, but it is supposed to be African and Indian influenced; it sounds very different and should be quite aromatic!

Congrats about the Sanaa ressies! I'm very interested in the restaurant since it's our dvc home, but wonder if we'll like anything on the menu b/c we're very picky eaters!

Our V-Day was nice. We both worked during the day, but did go out for an early dinner at Filomena's, a nice Italian place, and then to the movies to see Taken. Very good movie! We don't get out very often alone, so it was really nice! And President's Day was no different then a normal day. I worked like usual!

Thanks! I think they will probably have some more exotic dishes and a few 'safe' dishes - like a chicken kabob or something. At least that is my guess. I did read on here somewhere that dinner entrees will range $17-$22, lunch entrees $12-18. The CM they spoke with did give some ideas of food. I didn't ask, just made the ADR, but I may call member services back and ask just to be curious.

Sorry you all got the flu! I hate the winter and the colds.

I have no idea! I think the dining CMs need some refresher training in Niceness 101 and Dining Around the World 202!
 
I just saw your pictures from your NYC trip. Awesome, I bet you wanted to be in Disney so bad! Looks like you guys had an awesome day. I love the pics of the animals. And of course the Disney characters.
 

Hey guys! I should have pics of the bedroom in progress up tomorrow along w/ adorable pic of DD and her "Aurora hair"!
 
I can't wait for pics!

Yay for Sanaa!! Now I just have to wait a few more days to book mine!! Gosh I hope I can get one for Thursday. I'll switch things around if I have to. Did they say it was on DDP and how many credits?

Oh - going up to the World of Disney gives me a Disney fix, but also makes me want to get to WDW so much more!

We aren't on the DDP, so the CM never mentioned it. I heard someone say it is 1 credit though
 
we are in the process of refurbishing this area for your future enjoyment!


Please ignore the mess in the middle of the room. The dresser was my sister's but she didn't take it when she moved out, so that and the drawers are being sold. Just waiting for the guy to pick it up. We found the dice among a pile of DSis's stuff she didn't take so Pop Pop was being funny and hung it from the fan; he said it fits the 'Cars' theme! The rest of the stuff covered is a chair and ottoman that is going in my room, and a whole bunch of my bow making supplies/ribbon to be put away once my room is finished. Oh, the closet doors are getting replaced too.

So, basically only look at the walls! :lmao:

We start with ...
DD's side of the room after the coat of pink

(Yes, we are using Disney Behr paint!)
Some more of DD's pink half and DS's side being taped off. We primed the room before we began painting. The ceiling has already been painted white. DSis's room was a pink/peach color.

Ta-dah!

Pop Pop is hoping to come home this afternoon so we can start taping the diamonds on DD's wall. We anticipate this to be a veeeeerrrryyyy long process. It took 2 hours to tape the checker flag!

I'm considering making a tiara type thing to go on the wall above DD's bed w/ the tulle to drape down from it. Know what I'm talking about? I need to find pictures to see if I think it would look ok w/ the diamond pattern on the wall. Also I'm going to paint an Aurora cameo-type portrait to go over the dresser. Also on my to do list: tulle bed skirt, tulle night table, new lampshade and nightlight. AND - order the carpet!

In the kids' playroom, I need to paint the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse mural and Toodles - oh so much to do and my goal is to have this all complete (minus the night table and bedskirt) by the end of March!
 
The rooms look GREAT so far. I love the colours you chose! What lucky kids!:goodvibes

I know exactly what you mean about the tulle drape-y thing. I had one over my bed when I was younger, it was from IKEA I think? Cute idea with the tiara though!
 
The rooms look great so far! Painting is so much work! Good for you! :thumbsup2

Oh....and here's a dance just for you for reaching the 60 day mark!

:banana: :cool1: :cheer2: party: :jumping1: :cheer2: :cool1: :banana:

(I'm actually at 58 now...we are leaving on the 19th!! :woohoo: )

Thanks! I'm glad you knew what I was talking about! I have to look at some pictures to get a better idea if it would work w/ the tiara or not.

Great pic's of the rooms. Looks like alot of work but it will look great once it is all done.

Oh it has been lots of work; thankfully, Pop Pop is always looking for projects. You should see the "Honey Do" list my mom has for him and the "Daddy Do" list I have!

Wow!! Things are looking great. I can't wait to see the finished product! :thumbsup2

Thank you! :goodvibes I'm anxious for it all to be completed to. I'm very much looking forward to my grown up bedroom!

Oh Darn! Where have I been? I guess that's what happens when the countdown gets taken down to paint! So Woo Hoo! 60 days for me!!!! :cheer2: and 58 for you! :dance3:
 
The room looks great! I love the checkerboard and I can't wait to see the harlequin pattern on DD's side! I just painted DD's new bedroom. We're moving her from the little bedroom (her nursery) into her big girl room. She's not as excited as I am!
 
I'm in!! I just jumped over here from mousescrappers PTR. You'll be there at the same time as us... quite a bit longer than us... but at the same time. :goodvibes

Your post on mousescrapper's PTR about your DDs anxiety caught my attention - we're going through that with DS5. (It's my other son DS8 who has autism... just him for now.)

I'm only on page 1 but I want to comment on how fun your family looks!! And your children are adorable!!

Back to page 1...
 
I was beginning to lose hope that I would be the only person at Disney World from these boards in April-But thanks to Mommytothreeboys and you, I have someone to bump into now.

BTW your family is adorable, love the pics.

See you real soon!

I'm sure she will love her big girl room once she gets used to it. Are you doing any type of theme?

Hi! Glad you are joining in!

I have 2 cousins, sisters - 11 yrs - that have severe autism. Their other sister - (they're triplets) doesn't have autism. They don't speak much. One says about 10 words now and the other says about 6 - she is also a wanderer. They've had to install locks up high on doors and alarms if she opens any doors to go outside. They also have a dog who was trained to follow her every move. He sleeps at the side of her bed, etc.

Honestly, there are times that I think I should have DD evaluated again. ExDH wouldn't hear it though; he didn't think the first was necessary. Her speech has definately come a very long way, and she will play with other kids - it takes some time for her to warm up, has quite an imagination, but she does flap her arms when she is frustrated - not a lot but it's there. She also pinches me for comfort; I don't even think she knows she is doing it. Maybe it is part of her anxiety. We are planning to homeschool but I have lots of activities and such (swim lessons, ballet classes, art class, etc) where she will interact with children so I guess I will have to wait and see how she handles the situation and then I can move forward with getting additional help if I think she needs it.

Right now, I tell her about what's going to happen, what we're doing that day, I tell her ahead of time when she will see her father as there are times she doesn't want to go.
