Momof6....aka Marty

I wish someone in SC would pay for my blood! I give it away for free, but would love to be paid for it! LOL

Just bumping this up to help anyone planning vacys in the near future. :)

Have you seen the movie Tangled?

If not, you really ought to.

It is a great movie.

Funny.

But with a positive message.

Rapunzel encourages all the little girls to join her in lying about having any knowledge of the satchel's whereabouts.

I pause here to ask exactly what is Disney trying to teach the young women of our nation here?

Exactly what is the positive message this movie has? Not sure i need my children learning that one.

I am a big Chumly fan myself. Can't wait to see what he does next. Almost a exciting as a TCD trip report! :suspense:

That would be me that you sent the message to. I guess private isn't really private afterall. Anyway, thanks

No, I think I got away with sendingg it to you, so I tried to send it to another poster who asked. that was when they took away my pm priviledges.

I guess it is some kind of game because I got 100 points :banana:

"This infraction is worth 100 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire."

So at least they have provided some joy and happiness over here.:dance:

I got in trouble there a few weeks ago for posting a cryptic message in a private message that told someone where to find us. Apparently, they were an undercover spy. The funny thing is, I lost my private message priveledges, so they can't tell me because I can't received private messages!

Every time I go there these days, my computer takes waaay too long to download the site so i give up. I think God is trying to tell me to just stay where I am. :heart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7ZT5sajkys

I'm making ones for our trip next week. I've done the iron transfers last time. This time I'm embroidering them. I'm having a fun time...learning how to embroider and appliqué. Ill post pics when I'm done tomorrow!

Are you hand embroidering? I can't afford a machine but would love to figure out how to do that type of thing.

Do any of you worry about putting your child's name on their shirt? I thought that was one of the big no-no's due to stranger's using that to convince kids they already know them. You know, "Come this way, Jimmy. Your mother is over here. I'm her friend and she told me to come get you. Don't remember meeting me last year, Jimmy? Your mother introduced us! Well, I remember you!"

I don't mean to be a buzz kill. I am just surprised. But then again, I am defintely the over protective type.

It has been known to happen.

Like in 2008, 2009 and 2010 for example.

There may be a pattern developing here.

And, for what it is worth, the TCD dog, Rocky, won best in show at the Pet Costume Contest on Halloween 2010.

So chances are good for a return visit in 2011.

But, with TCD you never know.

TCD

:dance:

If you pay me enough, I can be your outdoor speaker at campgrounds or whereever you choose. Just give me a topic and I can expound on it for hours. I might not be right, or relevant, but I will keep talking as long as you. Again, you would have to pay me enough. :rofl2:

Martha, the Lord will provide. :rofl2:    Looking forward to meeting you and your beautiful family!  :banana:

P.S.  H says him too. 

KFK, can you or someone else pm me your cell phone number so I can call y'all when we arrive and find out where y'all are at? Since we will only have a few hours there, i don't want to waste time looking for everybody.

I really am starting to get excited! :dance:

*bump*

I still have a church key on a magnet on my fridge. My children even call it that! LOL

Not only do i remember pop tops, I stepped on one at the beach once. Owww!! :argh:

Thanks for the Sunday (early Monday) update. It made a great start to my Monday morning. :popcorn:

Here you go guys

You found my picture!

can we trade kids for a week? :rofl2:

Just crack the whip, my friend! Amazing what you can accomplish through fear and intmidation! :rofl2:

I am having a very tiring day watching the children clean the house. I need me some more TCD reporting to take my mind off my troubles. :popcorn:

Todd- I was very disappointed and a bit angry when I made that post. That is in the past, and I see no reason to discuss it. As far as I am concerned, nothing has changed except the address of the website where I post.

And this place has awesome owners and webmasters.

As you know, there are great folks here.

One of the reasons I stayed away for a while is that I do not want to be a part of anything negative.

So, i am not going to go there.

The past is in the past.

You, sir, are a gentleman. Just another reason I am glad to find the great TCD at our new internet home. ;D

I am so glad to have begun to read a TCD trip report again. Almost as good as being there myself. Definitely better than bacon. BUT, my family wants bacon with dinner and kids are begging for time on the laptop, so off I go. I look forward to finishing my reading later!!

I know most people would consider me over-protective. Our family does not generally participate in activities we cannot do as a family.

If you join recyclebaank.com you can earn points there that earn you coupons for $ off Coke (as well as other rewards). Use the coupons when there is a sale and get your Coke for free!

My children have been looking forward to today, known to them as Intergalactic Star Wars Day" for months. They all dressed in Star Wars costumes. They certainly got strange looks at the grocery store!

OK here's a question... mom paranoia here

Does anyone rig up an "alarm" of sorts on the tent at night? The mind starts to think about the what ifs....? Not just the human invader but the animal kind too. It was easier for me with our old tents, one door in and out. Our new tent, not so sure how I will "alarm" it.

I don't set up an alarm,, but I have my dh with me. He is huge, so i never worry wwhen i am with him.

We do sleep 8 in an 8 person tent, but it is very tight. Oh, and if you have that many in the tent, it isn't really posssible to move everything away from the tent walls is it is raining at night.

Liv,

That was my original plan, but we can't afford it yet. I decided to stop waiting and just come up with my own. Thanks for reminding me, I do want to add a missionary for each area as well.

We are still intending to drive down for the day.  I have no idea how we will afford gas, or what we will drive, but we intend to be there! 

I am cobbling together various unit studies to make a unit study that is two weeks on each of the countries in the World Showcase.  I have found a lady who blogged about her unit studies who did two weeks on most of the countries, so i am going to follow much of what she did.  I haven't found much about Norway, but we did do a Viking Unit study last year (since my husband's heritage is Norwegian and Scottish).

Anyway, just wanted to share our excitement.  If all goes as planned, we will finish this study in October and then start packing for our trip.  :banana:
