Calling all the Ladies

Ok girls, so after reading through Tonya and Cat's blog everyone seems to really want to start saving for your 2009 convention. Ladies-it's in New York and that is my CITY! I am super excited even though we are not LPA members, that you all are thinking of coming here, but I must lay some ground rules...

1. We will have to take the kids to see the fireworks

2. We should take in a baseball game (both our baseball teams are in new stadiums starting 2009)

3. If you come, we must plan for a babysitter for each of the kiddos-preferably the men so we can take one night out and party NYC style! Nice dinner, maybe a wine bar-etc. Maybe even start in early afternoon for a pedicure and some retail therapy!!!! What do you all think?

I am getting so excited just knowing that I could be meeting all of you and the cute patoots! Yay!
Oh and for good measure, I am throwing in a picture of Preston.

We're not YET members of LPA but all the feedback from the conference makes me want to be--and NYC, that's the clencher!! I can follow all your guidelines, too!

P.S. Thanks for the garden soap tip--it's much better then the hair clippings that my neighbor suggested...

I'm in!!! That retail therapy and pedi sounds like my kind of a day :) I can not wait to meet you. We are soooo excited to go to NY next year. Matt and I love NY. That was one of our favorite go to places before kids, so are excited to be going back. I can NOT WAIT to meet you both! The anticipation for the next year is going to be killer! We can't wait and we will for sure be there!

Hell ya! Next year, I'm bringing my mom and dad too so you know what that means...babysitters! Can't wait for NYC! It sounds like a lot of people are going. We should suggest to LPA to have a "Bloggers Reception"!

We are in. Grandparents and all! I can follow your rules as well! Another pedicure sounds great for me...LOL and maybe the Red Sox will play the Yanks and we can all go!!!

Kim!

Sounds like a plan ... I had mentioned to Dan a few weeks ago it would be so fun for us mom's to have a girl's night out! Much deserved for all of us! Glad we had the same thought process :-) July 2009 will be here before we know it! ... and as always, a very cute pic of Preston!

We will definately be up for the convention next year! We have family up there so we'll probably be going all around the area. But we can't wait to go and meet everyone!! I'm pretty sure my parents are coming with as well. I sure hope that the hotel has a lot of rooms :)

Mandy said...

Oh I want in so bad!
We are not LPA members yet either.
I must start saving now.

Hope to see you all next year. I would love to go shopping in New York City.
Tonya, Bill and Will can watch the kids while we go have pedi's :)

Everyone should just bring the grandmas and grandpas and then they will have built in babysitters! I know I'm coming for sure. I'm hoping we'll get to meet you guys before then though! It's a small world. You just never know.

IN, IN, IN!!! But this Grandma will leaving Bryan with Mom or Dad and joining the girls! I can't wait, this is going to be so much fun! This will be our family vacation next year - so good that we have a whole year to plan.

That Preston is just ADORABLE. Keep the pics coming. How exciting that this time next year we will be able to get a group picture of our kids together.

Okay, this now seals the deal for my attendance! Not only to meet the kiddos and have the eperiences that go with a convention, but a girls day is perfect!
As always, Preston is a cutie-pie! He and Trace would be a dynamic duo!
