Lauri -

John loves Star Wars, music (dancing) and karate. He is thinking he wants to stay in the club. Last May (2005) when we cruised he was in the club and really liked it. We told him he could decide...if he feels the kids in the club are too young then we will move him up since it's only a month until he turns 8. Are you guys going to the "meet" at 2:45 at The Promenade? We can get the boys together then.

Kelly

Just some advice. When we cruised last August DD who was nearly 8 chose to stay in club because she doesn't like being the youngest anywhere. Well it proved to be a mistake because she felt like everything was a bit too young for her there and mostly enjoyed her time in the lab when they had the club kids go in there. What she hated the most was time when they sat round and either told stories or sang (oh the horrors).

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Cars
The Prestige
The Guardian
Santa Clause 3
Chicken Little
Eight Below
Narnia
Shaggy Dog
The Wild
Stick It
Step Up

I'm here Denise,

I had to go and watched Flushed away, you know the movie about Sewer rats. I figured that would help peepare me for the cruise meet

You ladies are all on the "GOOD GIRLS" list today!!

This has been an awesome day for posting.
we have been laughing about the newest singing sensations, Tiara Bob and the Dreamboats!!!

We ladies need to be groupies!!! for you youngster out there that means fans of the group!! We can sit in the front row and scream and faint when they sing on stage, then rush them for autographs!!!
That should cause some excitement!!!

Bill have you accepted the job of manager??? Someone has to be in charge ya know.


Ok, have you guys decided what song your gonna sing yet???
Plus last August they had Karoake more than once, which time are you gonna do this, I want to come and watch!!! Your manager needs to call all our rooms and leave messages when your gonna perform so we wont miss ya!!

See Bill, we need ya already.

Kathy

Just posted on the 11/18 thread

Okay You Dreamgirls I will get up and sing, but due to the fact I ride, I have a rep to protect, I will sing with Bob, and anybody else that will not don a tiara. Okay there is a statement that I made in this little post that was in a movie. The lucky lady that gets the right answer, will get a hug from me on the day we board ship. DREAM BOAT WALLY

OK Dreamboat, are you referring to the "I have a rep to protect" quote? The only movie I can think of is Adrian Zmed in "Grease 2." That seems pretty obscure so I'm sure I don't have the right movie. . .

 

[pgfour]

Just checking in this afternoon.

Done packing DD's stuff (that took 15 minutes!); now on to my stuff.

Also have to clean up the basement and move DD's art area so DH can set up the Bowflex. -- Looks like I won't have enough time to get into "the best shape of my life" before the cruise.

Well, back to work. . .

 

[U2Pixies]

Thanks mutt for the site! Much appreciated.

Kelly - great question about must haves. The answers will really help us out. Kathy has been my cruise mentor for the past couple of months and I feel I have somewhat of a handle on this packing thing due to her suggestions. Any extra ideas will help us out.

Just what do you put on your door signs? I was thinking of our names and our hometown location. Is that correct?

When do the men sing? Where does this all happen? Wow, Stephen has a beautiful voice. You should insist he join the group!

Lynn - Don't over do the gifts for Drew. At his age he won't have a clue as to what is going on. The only thing they enjoy playing with is the empty box. Do you have the baby einstein videos for Drew? Cullen and Laura both love them. Laura's favorite it Baby Monet. I noticed you wrote something about the Elmo videos.

Stacey, who is 9, will be going to the Lab. Will she enjoy that?
Have a good afternoon Pat

Oh forgot!
Quote, is it from Grease?

Thanks Jeff. I was telling my DH(Don) what you said and he feels that our DS should move up into the Lab as well. He will be 8 in December and I think the kids in the Club will probably be too young for him. We'll see if we can convince him of that.

Kelly,

Yes, we are planning on going to the "meet", it would be great to get the boys together! We are hoping to get Patrick into the Lab, because he really likes being aroung older kids. We cruised last May (2005) -- how weird would that be if we were on the same cruise then? Don't ask me the date right now, because I have no idea.

Let's plan on getting the kids together!

Lauri

Lauri - I made a mistake...we cruised in April of 2005 - April 23-April 30. We flew home on May 2 - probably why I was thinking May and this year we went to Disney in May - the week of Memorial Day.

Yeah, we're getting close to 5000... and to think we were getting excited over three thousand? this is half of one hundred thousand!

Oh, my gosh! I'm SO going to your house for dinner! oh - wait. Hubby's making fried chicken? Guess I'll stay home!

Uh, Joel? half a HUNDRED thousand?

 

[TIGGER41681]

Good Afternoon ,

Pat: I have Baby Einstein DVD's and Drew does not like to watch them. He loves Elmo and we have 6 or 7 DVD's that my sister-in-law gave us. We got him 4 toy gifts and afew clothes. I am afraid of what our families got him !!!

Linda: Come on over!!!

Well it's dinner time talk to you all later!!

 

[disneediva]

Well I did it I power shopped in one day and finished DS. It really is easy when all he wants is electronics..

Shell, save some for me, that sounds yummy, we are having pizza for dinner

Pat - We'll have to get Stacey and my DD Elizabeth (8) together at the meet so that they can "know" each other before they hit the lab at all. With my DD that makes ALL the difference as to whether she has fun or just tolerates being there. She didn't make a friend on the last cruise until her last day (that seems to happen on our vacations all the time) and then was sad it was over. So this time, I'm bound and determined to see that she has opportunities to meet kids on days one and two so that she has friends throughout the week. It's funny because she comes off as shy at first..but get her going... Her teachers (both 1st grade and 2nd) have said she is the most social kid in her class and one of the few who literally gets along with everyone. She's honestly just a sweet little girl (unless she turns on the drama meter for her mom and me).

Hi Everyone,

I fear I am in Kathy's bad books - sorry....I will try to make up for it.

Sounds like Tiara Bob and the Dreamboats is a go! Love it!

Glad to hear everyone (OK, not you Bob) is stressing as much as I am about getting everything together! I've put most of my and DSs stuff in the spare room and add to the pile as I think of things. DH is another matter. As long as he puts his semi-formal outfit with our stuff I will be happy. He can throw all his other stuff in whenever he wants. We rented a tux for him so I don't have to worry about that! He does still need to pick up his pirate outfit from the costume store. Mine still has to come from the lady on ebay - and it is giving me a bit of indigestion. If it does not arrive in time I am going to be severly ticked. I let her know in plenty of time when I needed it so fingers crossed!

Picked up a few cute t-shirts for DS from the Disney store today. With it being fall/winter up here it is easy to get the summer-type stuff on sale. At least for kids. For me, I am hoping to pick up a few things when we get down to Orlando. I am going to start my list of things to do after we arrive but before the cruise next, as my 'before we leave' stuff is almost done. I actually have the day off tomorrow so am hoping to finish up most of the outstanding stuff.

I got the pillowcase and fabric markers for DS's pillowcase. This is the first time I have done this but liked the pics others have posted. I need to find a place around here that can embroider his name on the case - a job for tomorrow. I'll then put the whole thing in a zip lok with the markers and some cardboard and hope for the best! I am also getting my pedi tomorrow and got my hair cut on Saturday - so a few more things off the list!

Hope everyone has a good night!

Gotta run - will try and post tomorrow.

 

[dreamboatwally]

Okay, My ladies... So far only 2 hugs. Okay, Steve since you have a good voice ....you are very welcome to join us. Is that okay with you Bob? Hopefully I will get the hang of this.
