Channing Teens Anyone of us who has them knows... Our kids college and hs schedules dont end up at the same time so we dont go on a spring break trip anymore...and your right when everyone is HOME on vacation mom gets lots more work to do...
Thats why we a need vacation every now and then without everyone right!!
Chan when is your spring break? I am looking for somewhere to go the 3rd week of April but can't decide...the boys do not want wdw again and the little 2 are going to Washington DC with grammy. I could go somewhere fun!!!
I finally got off my lazy butt today and painted Emily's room. It is a nice spring green color with pink window and door trim. What does bratty child say? "I like the pink but green is yucky." GRRRR! I didn't want to paint the whole thing pink because she will grow out of pink so fast, the green will last many years longer, but still looks nice with all her baby pink stuff. See what I get for trying to do the right thing. (Of course the colors are from the Disney Color collection at Home Depot. LOL)
Ok, back to work...her room is torn apart and I have to figure out where she is going to sleep tonight. UGH!
Deb...brace yourself. It's ugly. He turned 17 and something in him SNAPPED. ...well it got worse after 18 actually. And his attitude is he's 18 he can do what he wants.....leads to lots of issues here.

Chan- that green is the color of her walls!!! I love it, it's the same color as my rain coat LOL. I would have done all girly pink, but I was so afraid she would be "over" the pink thing in 2 or 3 years. This way it can last through more years (I hope)I LOVE GREEN!! Tell her it's Channing's FAVORITE COLOR and pink is second!! And that's a fact. I love green and pink! I think you did great.....you can use tons of pink accents.
Jojo's room is "Girly girl" pink. She is a mega pink princess. It's overloaded with pink but she chose it....we just repinked it last year. It was more pale...cotton candy pink..now it's almost Pepto pink with light pink and some lavender. It's super duper sticky sweet.
I have that 15yo attitude here too!!! Too bad you can't lock them up for a few years...like until they're 30 or so.I'm in for a real treat then because DS15 has already begun the "I'm 15 I can do such and such" and "I'm not a baby anymore....I AM a teenager" . And alot of his friend's parents let their kids roam and do just what they want.....so I'm working against all that . The joy of raising teens .

Hello everyone! I'll admit I have sought you out (WOW - Chat thread #4!) because you have all been so helpful answering my questions and so on in the past. This one isn't WDW specific, and I am looking for ideas from people who love to travel and have been lots of places, so I thought of you. I am also posting this question with the new firends I have met on the Wish Trippers thread, hoping someone out there has a good idea for me. Sorry this is so long, skim away...
As a reminder, my hubby and I are parents to twin boys who are now 10. our son Mark has cerebral palsy, uses a walker or wheelchair and is bright as a spark. We had a fantabulous Wish Trip to Orlando in November - a week and Give Kids the World followed by 3 nights at the GF (thanks again Kelly for all your help, and to you all for helping us get to know Vonnie!)...and I think I am still in Disney Depression mode. We've had a tough fall, with not great health for Mark, moving out of our house for a major renovation, and my mother is slipping quuickly into dementia. Enough said.
So now I have a question for my friends spread over the lovely USA. We are from Toronto, Canada, where we've had a fairly snowy couple of weeks, although yesterday was "warm" and rainy - the snow was melting so fast it created quite a bit of fog.
The last week or two has reminded me that it is so very tough for Mark to get around outside by himself in the winter months. It's a real drag for him, and it does end up affecting his mood and sleep patterns. We do downhill ski as a family (Mark is in a sit-ski with guides), but that is just not enough to get us through the winter. I've also been thinking longingly of our wonderful time at WDW in November, and thinking about all the fresh air and exercise (as well as FUN!!!). Last March Break, I swore never again would we just sit at home. My plan was to take Mark someplace and have Peter take Douglas on a ski trip...but that just didn't get organized.
Which brings me to my question. March Break is coming (not soon enough!) and, as usual, we have no plans. Now this is a rotten year to try and pitch a March Break trip to my hubby, what with renovation expenses and needing to be nearby as we'll be in the last month of inside work then, the economy is terrible and we're being careful with money, Peter is tight on vacation time (guess I shouldn't be so easy to OK that ski trip of his in January!?!) so I'd have to go on my own with the boys, and so on.
However, if I could think of someplace warmish, with easy walking and relatively accessible), fine (safe) and fun for a mum and her 2 10 year old boys, and great value (but still nice enough, we do deserve some spoiling after all, if we're going!) and easy travel (they weren't so good on their first taste of jet lag last year)...maybe I'd give it a try. Of course, the obvious answer is "I wanna go to DisneyWorld!", but that is just not happening. I have a friend with a place in Vero Beach Florida, but I think she'll have a full house.
Anyone have any sugggestions to fuel my dreams?
Thanks to all for always welcoming me whenever I "pop" in with a question/comment. Hope you have all had a lovely Christmas!
Thanks,
Alison
