May 10, 2008 Ship of Thieves! Stealing the Magic..AGAIN!!! Panama Canal FL to CA!!! Part 5

So how many people here are going to be at MNSSHP this year? Me and John are going on Nov 2...it's the last day of the party. Just curious when others will be there.

We won't make MNSSHP this year. We are going to the Halloween Party at DCA on Oct 5th. I think it's called Mickey's Halloweeen Treats. It in no way compares to MNSSHP but each year it gets a little better. Though I'm hoping for a lot better this year as tickets are up to $40 for the general public (AP's were able to buy for $24 if you pre-ordered).

I always love the parade at MNSSHP so make sure you see the Headless Horseman for me!

Since I don't go to WDW...what is MNSSHP? I liked Sky High...it was cute. I used to use that threat with taylor. It worked wonders. I still use it. When she won't clean her room. I just tell her it's fine, I'll just take everything out and then we won't have to worry about it getting dirty. That lights a fire under her to clean up.
My daughter is always up before me, but she's old enough now to entertain herself and not wake me.!
Today we have to go spend money I don't have on new school shoes, clothes. I like shopping with her now at 9 cause it's fun for her to try stuff on and show me etc, but it's getting expensive! Thank goodness she's in uniforms for 4 days a week. Cya

We are going I think Oct 21st. Im not a big Halloween person but after going to this the first time a few years back we've now made it a tradition. The parade is awesome and its fun to see all the families come out with some really neat costumes.Plus,bethany loves to say she trick and treated at Disney.

We usually do the xmas one too but actually like the Halloween party better.

You're still lucky. Heather can vouch for this: Tyler can stay up until 2am and STILL gets up at 7! His internal alarm clock is very strong.

Yes,Tyler can stay up and that little guy can eat. LOL he also got the munchies at midnight. Couldnt figure out where he was putting all that food

do you hold a grudge?

I do, if you get me angry, it takes me a while to not be angry anymore and talk to you. Yesterday I got into a rip roaring fight with my father. I have no desire to speak to him, unfortunately he lives in my house so I can't avoid him for long. Now he's trying to be chatty freaking cathy and doesn't get the hint that I have NOTHING to say to him......just makes me angrier.

Had a great time - spent way too much. But the best part is DH cleaned the kitchen while I was gone - even loaded and ran the dishwasher, scrubbed the burner pans, etc. We both agree he is much better at cleaning then I am.

Which convention are you going to? This one is a Scrapbook Expo. I've been to one CKC (in Charlotte NC last year). Can't decide if one is better than the other.

I've always gone to the CKC for years. The CKC used to only come to Mesa so I would go once a year but now they also go to Phoenix so I go to both. I actually spent the weekend(besides laundry/cleaning) organizing my scrapbooking armoire...I fell in love with the one, the Hideaway one, they have at the CKC but that's not the one I got My DH surprised me for Christmas with one he found on target.com small but when I bought a cropper hopper and stuff it works just fine....love to crop but don't have tonz of time to do it. How nice that your DH did all that for you how nice....that would never happen at my house...I could dream though.

Haven't had time yet to look for the pics of Bethany & Tyler. Busy day ahead of us, so maybe when we get home and after Tyler's in bed tonight. Going to ride on Thomas the Train today because Tyler's been good all week. His last "episode" at day care was last Monday and I think he was shocked by his dad and I BOTH in the SAME room lecturing and angry at him. We both made it clear what will happen at BOTH houses if either of us gets a phone call at work to come pick him up again for him being out of control. I reminded him this every morning before I dropped him off, and had the day care teachers remind him occasionally too. Seems to be working, but I know a threat won't work for long. But he does remember because he told me today he really, really doesn't want that punishment to happen. It would be taking ALL his toys out of his bedroom and living room, putting them in storage totes and locking them in the attic. He will have the chance to earn them back, one at a time, by having a whole day of good behavior. It's a pretty drastic measure, but his hurting kids and adults at daycare is pretty drastic behavior, so I think it's fair. My friend Shelly did that to her kids when they were the same age and they never misbehaved again (other than minor acting out). I know all kids are different and things don't have the same effect on all kids, but I figure it's worth a try!

Welcome Back Holly Glad you had a good time. Great idea with the toys...very Dr. Phil

wow, this weekend went pretty quickly. It stormed last night...and was very very windy. Today has been great weather. We are going out to the pool now.

I can't watch movies in the morning.....I fall back asleep! Tyler's watching "Sky High". I rented it for him because his best buddy's mom told me how much her kids love it. I had never heard of it, so was surprised to see it's a Disney movie!

OK....off to clean up from breakfast, then get washed up, then return other movies, then head to Thomas the Train. I just keep stressing to Tyler how this is a special reward for such great behavior and hope he remembers that good things happen when you behave!

Have a great day everybody!

Have fun with Thomas the train...my son used to love Thomas for about 3 years and then in Kinder he thought it was babyish(I don't think so but its the peer pressure )....Thomas brings good memories for us. Are you doing a Day out with Thomas...that is so much fun. We did that once at the tail end of his Thomas obsession. Have a good time

My Tyler is the same way...although on our last cruise he managed to sleep in and was on our schedule...hoping for that again on this cruise

 

[GatorFamily]

Well there was a knock at the door and it was my mom. She understands just think my delivery could have been a bit better, which I agreed. So I think she is over it by now.

Glad you've made up

Man . . . do I have a LOT of catching up to do . . . we are back from NYC, I took my laptop, but there was no free Wi-Fi, and no time even if I could find it. We were go, go, go, all the time.

We had a great time, and I will try and share some pictures later, when I download them into the computer. We are really worn out, and even though it was exciting and fun, glad to be back home!
