Hi Camille! Right now I'm making some baby blankets for Project Linus for GAD. I used to scrap too but I had no room for it, lol. I never finished our Disney trip from 2007 and the ones since then I just put in photo albums I bought at Disney! I've make plenty of scarves and hats but have yet to try any other clothing. What do you make?

We used to play the punch game, other times we would all pick a color and then watch fro that colored car, whoever saw the most of their color was the winner. I once counted semi trucks, there were so many I actually put myself to sleep counting.
I will have to go check that out, I would love to read some craziness.
Yea, we difinitely have decided to wait until Reese graduates, I just keep thinking about how I felt when I moved and started my senior year at a new school, I just can't do that to her. So in the mean time I will just keep visitng my brother, I think I am going to go again this January.
It's going to be the GREATEST!! I'm really excited that God brought us together to share something we both love!
I quilt
But what serioulsy keeps us going back to the September dates is MNSSHP, we really want to do this.
I have a few ideas for costumes, I asked Kent if he would be willing to be a Disney character, he said sure, so I suggested Peter Pan and Wendy.
He thought it over and then said "I'll be Wendy, I don't do tights."
Umm really, you would wear a night gown but not tights?
So I nixed that idea, the weather is still going to be warm so we don't want anything too heavy. We have always done Sandy and Danny from Grease, I'm kind of burnt out on that.
I'm thinking I might just paint pictures on shirts for us, but I think I would feel wierd trick or treating at Disney without a costume.
I have to come up with something easy to make, not too heavy material wise and doesn't include my husband dressing in drag.
Ideas anybody?
I love you Leisa, your so cute! I would love to see some of your quilts.
I wish I could be there for your big get together, but we'll have to have another one or just me coming to visit you. If that's still OK?

That's one of the big reasons we're going in Sept! I can't wait for our party! Still working on costume ideas, though.
My kids play banana. It's calling out cars or trucks that are yellow, work vehicles don't count.
You call out the number of car or truck your on, and if you call it incorrect you lose that car to the person who calls it. In other words...if you see a regular car or truck that's yellow and it's your first car you call out...1 Banana, before the other people in the car call it, and so on. The game starts over every time your in the car, and you can get extra points if you see a Corvet-10, Hummer-5 or Beetle bugs-5. I know it's not as fun as the license plate game, but at least it's something new. It's actually more fun to play in town where you see more cars, rather than out on the highway. That's my contribution for games.
Here's what we did for Halloween 2008
It was cold that year!
Last year I made iron-on shirts to wear to the party. It was very hot last year!
I don't know about going this year. That's a lot of money for 4 people.
The end of September probably will be hot so I would do some kind of Halloween shirt.

Your creek is gorgeous! I like the idea of Kent as Wendy. Stubble and all! I can't wait for MNSSHP. I never thought I'd want to go to a hard ticket event a WDW, but then I started watching the youtube videos of the special parades and events, and I was super excited. Plus, we're still hoping for free dining....
I haven't even put much thought into costumes yet....
Ty,
I just had to come start on your PTR after reading your last TR. It's great!
Your family is beautiful and Kent sounds like a great guy! Tell him to give Jamey Johnson a listen to since you say he's all about country music!
I refuse to miss an episode of Friday Night Lights too, except I want to marry Coach Taylor! Do you have DirecTV? I LOVE that they play the season before the networks do and it's commercial free!!

Hi Ty! Somehow I found your TR. You are going near the time we're going. I have scanned through your first few pages, but need to catch up on the details. I have a 17-year-old daughter graduating this year, so I can empathize with you
Oh absolutely! I think I broke down in tears when I ordered the cap and gown. At least you have another one staying in the house for a couple of years.I have started reading your PTR, I don't remember if I commented or not though.
With your DD getting ready to graduate do you feel ampty nest syndrome kicking in yet. I can barely look at jim without wanting to bust into tears.
I just can't imagine not having Jimmy around, his personality is bigger then life. Yea I'll still have Reese, but she is turning 16 this summer and her social life will take off, I'll probably never see her once she's allowed to "car date"Oh absolutely! I think I broke down in tears when I ordered the cap and gown. At least you have another one staying in the house for a couple of years.
I might have some games for you. We always play "21". That's nothing related to being on the road though, and you can play it in lines at Disney too. One person starts with either "1" or "1-2". The next person can add on either 1 or 2 numbers (thus if the first person said "1", the second can say "2" or "2-3"; if the first person said "1-2", the second can either say "3" or "3-4"). The person who gets to say "21" is the winner of the game. It's fun, fast and very strategic. Easiest when played between 2 people, but it can be played with more.
There's another one involving cows. I will have to ask my sister.
The cow game, from my sister:
It's called ZIP.
When you see a pasture of cows you say "zip" and count starting with one. Add to your number by saying "zip" first when you see the cows. Whoever says "zip" first gets the points.
If you say "zip" and it's not cows (horses, goats, etc) then you lose a point.
When you pass a cemetery - you say, "cemetery" . Whoever says it first wipes out all the points from the other players.
It's stupid, but very addictive and fun. Helps pass time.
.
I'm hopping on for the ride! I hope you're able to "swoon" Kent over to the Disney side! I never thought DH would go for it, he's too hard core, etc. But I didn't have to worry when our little girl lit up, all smiles and laughter, he's sold on Disney magic (or at least for now!!)
It's so wierd I feel like I know you, like really know you from your trip report so maybe we'll run into each other at POP in the fall--that would be so cool!
I love your river! Very pretty.
I'm thinking Alice and the Mad Hatter. Kent of course being Alice. She is all grown up now and I'm sure she is of whisker age.
Or Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. They were so adorable in the new movie. You would look cute with little whirlygig hats.
On another note, there was a dead beaver on the side of the road and Jay wouldn't stop to pick it up. I was crushed! What does a girl have to do to get a little beaver??!! You can bet that's what he is saying now, hee hee.
Oh, are you watching Survivor this season?
After finally finishing your trip report I'm subbing over here. And I see I've got a few installments to get caught up on. Behind the 8 ball again. Some day I will be officially caught up.
Scanning through here I saw you mentioned that Kent is big on movie quotes....and you're looking for a travel game. There's gotta be a book of movie quotes. Maybe you could quiz him while he drives?
Ladies, meet the Honeydo Man.
he can get everything on your honeydo list done.
Kent thinking a shovel was going to be enough.
how gorgeous is our creek though?
