When in doubt, feed the bear....but not that!!!Day 6- Last day blues

What a fun update....love all the Mickey themed decorations (and I saw Pooh and Tigger in there too).

I didn't finish my previous post. I meant to say sorry "that Chris didn't go with you." I got interrupted by a barking dog.

About the barking dog. With the DIS the way it has been lately you gotta post when you can.

They must need a storage unit or trailer or haul it all.

WOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!! They go all out. Better than a lot of homes.

It is hard to find the RV in there. That was only one small loop.

I know that feeling...How dare they grow up!!!!

Those pictures of the Christmas decorations are just crazy!!

I love your exuberance for exploring.

She's been very busy bopping balloons around the office this week. All that hard work keeps her from .

(This was on FB, in case you are wondering what in the world I am referring to.)

Oh yea!! That's right! She's having a great time with a certain balloon in her place of work.

I just like busting her chops, I didn't really think she was taking too long on her posts.

The sideburns are going. When did my teenage boy turn into a man?

Nothing like to make you feel old!!

Pretty sure my first thought on getting the haircut was so those manly sideburns could show up better!

Happy Birthday to your household! Of course, Mom is always included in the birthday celebration. You are the one who remembers those two special days most of all - and the one who did most of the work.

We've seen the Fort Wilderness camper decorations before, but we did not get over there this year. It is very fun to see it in person. Those folks go all out, and they have a lot of money invested in all of that stuff. It's so nice of them to share the Disney Christmas magic with others.

Wow .... that is A LOT of decorations. How do you suppose they transport all of that stuff ?? Just pack the RV to the ceiling ?? Or maybe they have a storage unit near FW. We need to get over to FW to see them at Thanksgiving. If they are even decorating by then. Thanks for sharing

And your children are beautiful ......

We've been there in late Sept. and the Halloween decorations are pretty plentiful as well. That corner spot across from the store usually has the most elaborate decorations. I'm not sure if it's the same people, but that whole corner is usually done up big! They even decorate their golf carts!

 

[Kgroo]

Happy Birthday to all in your house

I can't believe all of the decorations at the campground. I have a hard enough time getting my Christmas tree up in time for Christmas and down before Valentine's Day

That's a lot of purple lockers, huh?!

Pretty tree in the WL Villas. I never even thought about going over there to look around. We love the WL and I really want to stay in the villas some day.

Love your pictures from the campground! We did a carriage ride around there in 2008. They really know how to decorate!

Congrats on all the birthdays in your house! You have been celebrating.

I know right!!! He lets it go long over the winter and then gets a spring cut but this one was drastic.

I feel so safe there that I have no qualms about exploring.

I had so much fun with those balloons. For those who can't see them on FB

When I saw him the first thing he said was the sideburns are going. They are gone.

I hope the pictures helped you out a bit. I know I didn't get everywhere I wanted to go and neither did you so together I think we got most of it covered.

I can only hope they have a storage unit in FL. Cannot imagine hauling all that stuff long distance.

Thanks about the kids. I think I will keep them.

The Ft at Halloween. May have a chance this Oct.

Happy Birthday to all in your house

Thanks- It is much easier now that they are older. A dinner out for each usually takes care of it. When they were younger it was 2 different parties or special activites and 2 different weekends so our month was party city.

I can't believe all of the decorations at the campground. I have a hard enough time getting my Christmas tree up in time for Christmas and down before Valentine's Day

I don't know how they do it.

That's a lot of purple lockers, huh?!

Yes it would be.

Pretty tree in the WL Villas. I never even thought about going over there to look around. We love the WL and I really want to stay in the villas some day.

I had seen a few pictures from other TRs so I HAD to go check it out in person.

Lots of celebrating. A carriage ride sounds like fun.

Happy Birthday to your kids!!!! (well, they'll always be "kids" to you!!
The haircut was drastic! Do you like it better short or long?

Somewhere I read you are driving for your Oct. tri. Did you figure out how to guage your gas tank? We are going to try the train for out Spring Break trip (2 weeks til we go!!!). It leaves at 9 pm and gets there at 11am ...should be interesting!!! The fare was pretty reasonable though. My friend gave me the idea, she said her family likes to go on the train. I told my guys and they wanted to check it out!! My friend (and her family)will be on the train with us! She's never done the train either.

 

[marvali]

Maybe I have been hanging around Marv too much?

You Wish!!!

MOLLY!!! Glad to have you on the "official abuse Marv" thread - oh I mean my NYE TR.

Hey, what's all this abuse of Marv going on everywhere??? I'm a nice guy!!! No.....really I am!!!

What has been going on in my universe?

A big swim meet on March 3rd that consumed most of my time from Feb
27 until the big day.

I have been teaching a class 2 nights a week for all of Feb.

the amazing - 21 years ago this morning I became a mom.
My Wonderful DD Jenny - her old medic dress uniform that is huge on her little frame

This saturday Chris has a big birthday 18
Remember this moppet head?


Today I come home and he has gotten it cut

The sideburns are going. When did my teenage boy turn into a man?

Nothing like to make you feel old!!

That's all you've been up to??? I thought you said you've been busy........

Oh yea!! That's right! She's having a great time with a certain balloon in her place of work.

I just like busting her chops, I didn't really think she was taking too long on her posts.

Guess I need to head over to FB and check out these pics since they are getting so much mention. I like busting Pat's chops too!!!

I know right!!! He lets it go long over the winter and then gets a spring cut but this one was drastic.



I feel so safe there that I have no qualms about exploring.

Wow, that's some serious Christmas decoration overload!!! I guess I need to walk that tour sometime in the future. Even "scared" taking too long in the dark, it was nice you lingered long enough to get some great pics!

I had so much fun with those balloons. For those who can't see them on FB

Okay, so much for busting chops.......I'm not sure exactly what can be said about those.......

Thank you and I do like it shorter. He did something to make it less um... like he had no hair. He seriously has his dad's hairline. Had it since he was born. It looked better after a shower and wash.

So far driving - I figured out my gas gauge lies to me. I always have more than it says so I panicked for nothing. Did some long distance driving today and 46 MPG is not too shabby.

You Wish!!!

Oh Marv the abuse I could give to you in person......

Hey, what's all this abuse of Marv going on everywhere??? I'm a nice guy!!! No.....really I am!!!

You better polish that halo and straighten it up a bit mister.....

That's all you've been up to??? I thought you said you've been busy........

Add in abuse from said swim league, battling balloons and a cheeky monkey and I have been one busy girl.

Guess I need to head over to FB and check out these pics since they are getting so much mention. I like busting Pat's chops too!!!

So now you are stalking????

Okay, so much for busting chops.......I'm not sure exactly what can be said about those.......

HEY!!!!!

 

[MEK]

Well - clearly I missed a few updates!

Those decorations at FW! Wow! I heard they decorated, but I had no idea it was to that degree. I'm not sure if I could sleep over there with all THAT going on!

Your daughter is very pretty and I like Chris' new hair cut. It does make him look older, but in a good way. Both of my boys have super short hair (mostly because they've always had a dress code that doesn't allow longer hair), so I actually prefer it.

Life happens. I am still struggling to catch up around here!!!

I am sure there is a "lights out" time but I had seen pictures and mine do not do them justice at all. Holiday carols playing int he background in the happiest place on earth. It is great. Put it on your must do list.

Thanks for the compliments. The picture of her is the most recent professional one done for work. She looks like she is playing dress up.

Here is a picture of both of their "school" and graduation photos.
For last christmas I scanned in their brand spanking new, hours old, new born pictures and then got a double frame with the other side being their grad picture.


You can see "through the years" how there have been good bad and just plain strange school photos.

It is hard to see Chris' hair here but it is in between the short and long.
I really like this one.

I was thinking the same thing! That is a lot of stuff... some of them have more decorations that I put out in front of my house!

I brought them into the world and sometimes I remind them of that.

Ha ha my mom used to say all the time when I was a teenager!

 

[glennbo123]

Sorry, I've got a little behind. Er, I mean, I've gotten a little behind.

The lawnmower tree....I don't think I knew about that until after we returned from our last trip, or else I would have tried to look it up before our Hoop de Doo meal. It's like something out of Ripley's Believe It or Not.

Happy Birthday to your kids!

Takes some dedication for sure.

Always good to remind them.

Sorry, I've got a little behind. Er, I mean, I've gotten a little behind.

Does it look like this?

You left the door open, I could not resist. my apologies to the mods if they find this inappropriate

i sort of stumbled upon it. Right by the path to the boat dock. Put it on your list.

Happy Birthday to your kids!

Thank you- It was nice to officially have 2 ADULTS to go to dinner with.
Even though I got IDed for my drink. Life is good.
