Disney Movie Fun Night
Tonights Movie was
Peter Pan

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg126/Corrine1973/010-2.jpg
Our craft was simple
and everything got crazy so I forgot to take a picture.:scared1:
I made little pouches and bought several diffrent colors of glitter.
We called them Pixie bags and the glitter was our happy thoughts.
The kids loved it, but I will cleaning glitter out of my carpets for ages.:rotfl2:
For dessert we had Pixie Ice Cream.
Just a scoop of Ice Cream with Magic Shell.
It was a new flavor called cupcake.
It was white with colorful flecks of color.
Just like magic.

Another great Movie Night for you! Everything looks great! I may need to steal your Pirate Ship Pizzas for our Peter Pan evening!
Have fun cleaning up the glitter :rotfl: - I still find some in the vacuum whenever I clean the room I made our countdown calendar in! And it's been like a month!

Let's just say that Christmas came to the Nash house early this year.
My mom called me today at work to tell me some good news.
Three packages arrived at her house today,
she kept them on the pourch so they would not be opened until I arrived home.
I tried to take this first picture of the packages with all it's pretty little Mickey Mouses on them,
but as you can see Liam decided to get into the picture.:lmao:
I Had picture posted here, but just relized that you could clearly see my address so I deleted it. Sorry.
[COLOR="Blue"]First Liam Opened his gifts with excitment.

http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg126/Corrine1973/biggive2023.jpg
He recieved a Star Wars Outfit, a Spiderman Outfit, a Jack Sparrow T-shirt, a MNSSHP t-shirt, a Pirate of the Caribean towel, stickers, crayons, and tons of other stuff as you can see.
His favorite was a small treasure chest with assorted Pirate stuff.
At first he wasn't so excited about the cloths until I pointed out his name on everything
and of course the Star Wars set. He can't wait to wear it.
Next Aidan opened his.
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg126/Corrine1973/biggive2007.jpg
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg126/Corrine1973/biggive2011.jpg
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg126/Corrine1973/biggive2015.jpg
He recived a cars t-shirt, a MNSSHP t-shirt (both with his name), a Finding Nemo towel
and various other toys and stickers. I made a mistake when I took the last pic, the sand toys were actually Mia's, so I put his sand toys with hers.:rotfl:
In the second picture you can see him pointing out Mickey Mouse. He loves Mickey and says his name several times a day.
It souds more like Mickey Moue.:rotfl2:
Mia was next.
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg126/Corrine1973/biggive2013.jpg
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg126/Corrine1973/biggive2017.jpg
She recieved a Cinderells t-shirt, a MNSSHP t-shirt (both with her name), a Princess towel,
and various other toys and gifts.
She loved everything.
As you can see that is Aidan's Sand toy.:rotfl2:
Last but not least it was my turn to open my package.
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg126/Corrine1973/biggive2020.jpg
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg126/Corrine1973/biggive2026.jpg
Of course my brother and I recieved t-shirts to MNSSHP (now we have a full set), tinker bell for me, Jack Skellington for him.
There was also 4 trick or treat bags, glow sticks, glow stick lanterns,
various halloween stickers, and a special princess magnet pad just for me.:cloud9:
Cajunfan,
I can not tell you how much we appriciate your generousity. The kids and I loved everything and can't wait to try everything out. You thought of things I had not even thought of (glow sticks, trick or treat bags) but now couldn't see out trip with out them. All I can say it Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.
Corrine, Liam, Mia, and Aidan

I know. I am just a Twitter with excitment. I was just thinking about you today. I suddenly relized that two weeks from Saturday you will be on your way.:scared1:You should be getting your GKTW packet real soon. :banana::banana::banana:How exciting.
I have come to think of you as my Wish buddy. I feel we are going through this all together. The only thing that would made it better is if our dates had overlapped just one day. Oh, well, can't have everything.:flower3:

I know what you mean, I feel like I will blink and it will be tomarrow. Still so much to do. I can't image having to pack for a WDW trip after just moving. My brain hurts just thinking about it.:headache:
I recieved your PM and sent you a reponse. Can't wait to meet you and your fam. Are you wearing costumes?
That reminds me, I got to figure out some costumes for the kids to wear.:scared1:We have some great t-shirts, but my kids will see the other kids wearing costumes and want some themselves. Better start cracking that whip.:scared1:I was also thinking of getting the kids each one pair of special Pajama's to wear. Hopefully I can still find some short sleaved ones at Walmart.

I have a suggestion for costumes. I made Tyler a pirate costume. It was easy to sew. You just make a pair of elastic waist pants in a pirate fabric and then cut v shpaes in the bottoms of the legs to make them about capri length. Then I cut out one of the pirates from the extra material and used fabric glue to glue it to a white t-shirt. I also made the v shapes out of the shirt sleeves and the bottom of the shirt. I had made a waste belt/tie out of yellow fabric, but when I make his new one this year I am going to make it out of the same fabric as the pants since it will go over the white shirt. The two boys could be pirates and then your little princess could be anything. My youngest has a Tinkerbell costume we purchased inexpensively at Wal-Mart last year that still fits. The oldest wants to be Sharpay again!
The kids will dress up for the party. I may go to DisDesigns and try to find an iron-on pattern to make my husband and I shirts. We did this 2 years ago, but when I washed the shirts the pattern came off in places and got wrinkly looking. The shirts were orange so I had to use the dark fabric paper and I was informed that the paper for the white shirts works better. I will have to see how much time I have. I still want to make Epcot passports and Autograph books for the kids. Only 3 weeks left!!!!!
I hope this helps! I can't wait to meet you and your family! :banana::banana:

Been a busy weekend, followed by what is going to be a busy week.
Got a tatoo on Friday to celebrate our trip and my three kids. It is Tinker Bell (my favorite) with three stars above her head in three diffrent colors. Each color is my kids birthstone color, so each represents one kids. It is still healing (and yes it hurt and still hurts) I will post a pic later when it has healed more.:thumbsup2
I bought the kids each there own special pj's for our trip yesterdayl. Mia picked a night gown with Cindy, Arora, and belle. Liam picked one with Lightning McQueen (no Star Wars):sad2: And Aidan picked Mickey Mouse (of course.) They didn't have his size but found one in the back.
I already started packing. (I know I am in sane) Each family member has there own bag that I am starting to put their stuff in. So far I put in there new pj's and there big give shirts, outfits, and towels. This way they are out of sight and mind and the kids wont try to wear them. They still almost daily ask for their presents. I let them have the things we weren't taking on our trip, but the rest are of limits.
Liam's first day of school is Wednesday. It is only a half day so we will be going to Six Flags in the afternoon as one big last hurrah for summer. Plus I have free tickets for that day to take my mom.:cool1: There was supposed to be a open house at his house yesterday. I was going to go to talk to his teacher and the school nurse more about his CF, the trip, and to drop off his meds. The nurse and teachers were not there. Hopefully I can do it after work today.:headache:
Just a side note, I was looking at the pics of our last big give and relized that the address was very visable.:scared1::scared1: I trust all of you that I talk to, but since there are so many others who have lurked and I don't know, I deleted the pic. Sorry for the inconvience.:guilty:

I do not think you are crazy already packing. I think it will help keep the stress down the last days. I started washing some of the new shirts and things this weekend and I have already prepared everyone that we are packing on Sunday. Because I know I have alot to get ready before we leave so I want to at least to have that done. I can not believe we are 12 days and you are right behind us.
Have fun at Six Flags.

Ohhh I can't wait to see you tattoo! I have contemplated another one for myself as I don't yet have one for my kids. I would be packing already too (in fact, I'm contemplating it already for our December trip but don't have anything to pack :confused3. Time to go shopping :rotfl:!
I'm sorry to hear that Liam's nurse and teacher were not at the open house. It's so important to have all the health issues figured out before school starts. I hope you can meet with them before school starts!
I can't believe summer is almost over. I'm bummed that we haven't made it Renaissance Faire :guilty:. Sometimes I think life was easier when Bella was in the hospital over the summer. At least then I had an excuse to decline invitations if things became overwhelming. This summer has been crazy!

I showed up today after work to Liam's school. School nurse wasn't there so I just dropped off the form giving them permision to give him the enzymes. I just missed the teacher.:guilty: It turned out that his teacher was switched anyway. I was called about 15 min after I left and was told that he would have a diffrent teacher. :confused3 I am going to wait with him for the bus on Wednesday and than hop in the car to the school. I will then bring in the enzymes, talk to the teacher and nurse, and drop off the school supplies. I mean how do they expect these kids to lug all this stuff to school. I couldn't even imagine a perfectly healty child doing it.:headache:
Don't forget to tune in to tomarrow's DMFN. This one was hard and there is no Tarzan one in the Post Disney Nights thread so I was completly alone. I ended up checking out alot of Jungle Themed Parties. So come back tomarrow and check it out.:thumbsup2

I can't believe the nurse and teacher haven't made it a point to speak with you BEFORE Liam starts school! The first day of school is crazy enough that I'm sure they won't remember half of the VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION that you will give them that day. Have you spoken with the principal yet? Is it possible to call the teacher and/or nurse before tomorrow? Don't forget to post first day of school photos for us to enjoy!
I'm excited to read about your DMFN tomorrow! Our movie this week is "The Lion King" and I think it's going to be Disney Family Afternoon on Thursday because we have School Open House, Soccer Practice, and I have a School Board Meeting and ribbon cutting ceremony at one of the newly renovated schools that evening.

What helped me with the school thing was I went straight to the principal and shared with him what was going with my child and seriousness of everything and asked if I could set up a meeting for my child's teacher, school nurse, and him so that all of us would be on the same page. So we all sat down together and discuss everything at one time. So this helped with us just a thought.

We set up a 504 plan last year after he was Dx. It still should be in place but I definatly think it is a good idea that I talk to the principle about setting up another meeting so that we could all be on the same page. After all we have a diffrent set of characters this year. Thanks for all the input.

What time is it
Why it is time for another
DISNEY MOVIE FUN NIGHT!!!
Tonights Movie was
Tarzan
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg126/Corrine1973/tarzan1.jpg
As I said in a previous post,
This weeks was harder to plan than others
But after it's all been said and done
It was probably the best DMFN we have had.
We didn't have anything to go with the movie for crafts
but since it is so close to our trip we decided to make our baseball caps.
Liam and Mia really enjoyed doing this
I helped Aidan with his, but he enjoyed posing for it.:lovestruc

For dinner we had: Jungle burgers with tomatoe in a pita, Jungle Trees with cheese sauce (broccolli), and Tarzan vines (curly fries).
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg126/Corrine1973/006-6.jpg
We had some during movie snacks: Animal Crackers and Nutty Butters.
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg126/Corrine1973/013-3.jpg
We decided to have an impromtu activity during the movie and pulled out some pots and wooden spoons.
When the gorillas find the human camp and start making music with the things in the camp,
well we played along.
I think this was all our favorite part.

Loved the pics of DMFN - the kids look so happy. Another great job, Mom!
I also feel for you about the school stuff. Richard is also on a 504 and luckily everyone at school is well informed and prepared. But it wasn't always that way and to say it was a bumpy start is an understatement, but with time it has worked out and I feel incredibly secure in their ability to handle all of his issues. Like I said, it wasn't easy and I could go on for days about all the mishaps and misunderstandings, but I was "persistent" and it now it couldn't be better. So hang in there!
I still can't believe your leaving so soon! I'm so excited for ya.

So Liam officially started school yesterday. (I can't believe how fast they grow up) The teacher was real busy so I was unable to talk to her very much. I was able to talk to the nurse though. She still had the 504 plan in the file so she was going to email the teacher with what she needed to know. We went to pretty great lengths last year, I wanted to make sure everything was covered. The plan mentions needing a water bottle with him, needing to step out of room is he has a coughing fit, using nurses bathroom if he is more comfortable when he has a BM, having an extra set of books at home so he doesn't have get over tierd lugging books home for school work, and other things that doen't come to mind right now. I plan on writing my own email to the teacher to let her know about the wish trip and a few other things I think she needs to know about my son. (Sorry this was so long.)
Weather has been horrible over here. It rained yesterday morning and is actually raining right now. Luckily it stoped in the afternoon and we were able to go to Six Flags and have some fun. The kids went on almost every kiddy ride they had open. I even went on a few rollercoasters.:thumbsup2 Kids had a great time. Two memorible momments is when Foghorn Leghorn tried to climb into the double stoller.:scared1:and at one point the song that is in Madagascar (Move it I think it is called) started playing and Aidan started dancing in the stroller and putting his hands up. Too cute.:cloud9:
Today is Liam's first full day of school. Hopefully everything is going well.

The plan mentions needing a water bottle with him, needing to step out of room is he has a coughing fit, using nurses bathroom if he is more comfortable when he has a BM, having an extra set of books at home so he doesn't have get over tierd lugging books home for school work, and other things that doen't come to mind right now. I plan on writing my own email to the teacher to let her know about the wish trip and a few other things I think she needs to know about my son. (Sorry this was so long.)
Weather has been horrible over here. It rained yesterday morning and is actually raining right now. Luckily it stoped in the afternoon and we were able to go to Six Flags and have some fun. The kids went on almost every kiddy ride they had open. I even went on a few rollercoasters.:thumbsup2 Kids had a great time. Two memorible momments is when Foghorn Leghorn tried to climb into the double stoller.:scared1:and at one point the song that is in Madagascar (Move it I think it is called) started playing and Aidan started dancing in the stroller and putting his hands up. Too cute.:cloud9:
Today is Liam's first full day of school. Hopefully everything is going well.
Thank you for your email. I actually learned something from you. I liked the ideal of having an extra set of books at home. My DW's bookpack is so heavy each day. With the damage that the tumor did to his back he has back pain from time to time. I never thought about leaving a book at home. I carry his backpack into the school and encourage not to put it on his back. But thank you for sharing that. I believe I am going to talk to his teacher about that.

Just recieved a packet from MaW. It has our flight times and limo pick-up time. 5:15 in the morning.:scared1: That means I have to wake up at 4 in the morning to do Liam's treatment, do some last minute arranging, and get the kids up. I need to try to go to bed early the night before but something tells me that I am not going to get much sleep.
I also recieved a Chase Visa card. I have already activated it but as of right now there is no balance. There is a piece of paper I need to sign and send back to verify that I recieved it, I assume that the money will be moved into the account when the recieve that paper.
Just two weeks, I can't believe it.:banana::banana::banana:

What a crazy day today.:scared1:
First of all I recieved a phone call from my mom at work today telling me that there were 4 packages waiting for us on the front porch.:banana::banana:
Next when I got home the packet from GKTW was waiting for us.
Last but not least I recieved a call from on of the wish volenteers. She was able to answer all my questions about the packet we recieved a couple of days ago and told me that she planned to get together on Thursday with our goodie bags and finale itenerary.:banana::banana:
Now for the great honor of being able to share our Big Give's.
First one was from Princess Kirsta and her Fairy Godmother Aunt Sally.
The package was in a perfect Mickey Mouse envelope and was addressed to Prince Aidan. Love it!!!!:cloud9: He was so excited about the Mickey Mouse book that he got mad at me when I tried to take it was so I could get a pic.

The second package was from gcast1 and filled with lots of goodies for everyone. The crayon roll-ups were a great hit. I must admite that my mom is already planning on stealing one so she can make a pattern off of it.:rotfl2:

Package #3 was from Tygansmom and also filled with lots of pixie dust. Mia is already playing with her fairy wand, Aidan loves his ball and cars, and Liam. . .well he loved EVERYTHING:rotfl:

Than came Package #4. The only thing I can say about package #4 is WOW.
It came from Princess Sarahliz and is completly magical. Words can not despribe. So as they say, a picture speaks a thousand words.

Yesterday was another DMFN.
Yesterday we watched
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Things have been kind of crazy this last week so I wasn't able to plan anything. I tried to keep things with a French theme, but not sure my choices actually were french.:confused3
We had Chicken Kiev, French cut Green beans, and oven backed and seasoned potatoe pieces. For desert we had french vanilla ice cream.
Sorry no picks, I can't find my charger and the battery died. I hope to find it when I get home tonight. Hopefully i didn't leave it in Missouri.:scared1:
Next weeks Finale DMFN is
Mulan
It is going to nice and simple next week.
Can anyone say Chinese take out.:rotfl:

I am right there with you with the excitement thing! It is so hard to keep the Cinderella lunch from the oldest. I know she will be surprised since I keep telling her it takes 2 dining credits so we can't go. I went to Home Depot (where we live since the move) and got a bunch of the Mickey Head paint chip samples. My 9 year old numbered them and then we hole punched them and hung them on curling ribbon. She gets to take one off each day. They are hanging from the fireplace. I look over at it frequently! :woohoo:

Today was our last Disney Movie Fun Night.:guilty:
We are very sad that this was are last official one, but that only means that are trip is just a matter of days away.:scared1:
We will still try to do DMFN's , but instead of every week we will maybe do them once a month. Who knows, maybe in two years time we will be back doing are weekly DMFN's counting down our next WDW trip.:banana::banana::banana:
Today's Movie was
Mulan.
Due to the hectic week of last minute trip things we kept it low key and ordered Chinese from Panda Express. We also invited Nana over to enjoy the movie and yummy food with us.
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg126/Corrine1973/004-9.jpg
This would be the part where I came up with cute movie related names for the food we ate, unfortunatly I got little to no sleep last night and my mind is working on auto pilot. Sorry.:confused3 We had: Orange chicken, sweet and sour chicken, beef and broccoli (Liam's favorite), noodles, crab rangoon, pot stickers, and chicken egg rolls.
We were also got a great Big Give package from none other than Maroo. I must admite that now that we have our Wish Trip 2009 t-shirts it feels like it is real. Thank you Maroo. We love them.:thumbsup2:cool1::cloud9:

Post #125 on page 9 has stayed basicaly the same. The only real difference is that I plan to head over to head over to MK for a little on Monday night to see SpectroMagic (Maybe just with Liam if the other two are to tierd) and we plan on being back at GKTW on Friday for the Pirates and Princess party.

When you pack your kids clothes - do you put them in ziplock bags? I found putting them in the bags ( a whole outfit) helped keep things a bit more organized - of course DS asked me not to do it anymore when he was in 6th grade off to Boy Scout Camp :rotfl2: Until the rains came!! He had the only dry clothing!! :rotfl2:

Yes we are back!!!!!
We are all glad to be back home in our comfortable beds but can't wait until we are able to go back to Walt Disney World.
We had a truely magical time with just a few speed bumps. We decided to see Muppets 3D pretty early on Monday morning and I was walking out of the theatre I relized that I had left the camera in the theatre. After searching the theatre and having audience members help us we still didn't find it. I am lucky that it was pretty early in trip and it wasn't full of memories. Unfortunatly I lost pics of our greeters at the airport, pics of the kids on the rocking horse in the ice cream parlor, Pics of Liam doing his star, and Liam in the Jedi Training Acadamy Show. I was also upset that I just recieved the camera as a Birthday Present and it was a bit expensive. :sad1: But you can't worry about the small things. I just thank the lord that my brother had his camera and for Photopass.:thumbsup2
I have to wait for my bro to download the pics on to a CD for me so it will be a couple days before I can officially start the TR.:goodvibes

Welcome home!!
Sorry about the camera (maybe someone turned it in at lost & found?)
I'm also doing PhotoPass so I can't wait to see how yours (& everone else's) come out. I'm glad the rest of the trip was great and that you all had a wonderful time!
I can't wait to see the trip pics!
(....off to read some more TR's, look at other families pics, and wait (im)patiently for our turn....)

Welcome back! I have lots of the MNSSHP photos for you. I uploaded them to the Photopass CD so you will have them when it arrives. Also, I don't want to spoil any surprises, but it was Johnny Depp in the parade! He was at Animal Kingdom on Monday and the Magic Kingdom on Tuesday. I talked to several cast members and he loves to hang out and perform as Captain Jack during the Halloween time. He sometimes does pictures outside the pirate ride, but everyone thinks he is an actor and does not realize that it is really him. I just wish I had taken a better photo! I can't wait to read your report. I started ours! :wizard:

Yes, it was the real Johnny Depp. He loves to play Captain Jack at Halloween time in Disney World. Look for him outside of pirates arranging guests for photos and on the parade float. I noticed his hands on the float and they looked like the hands of someone that was older than a teenager playing a pirate. I did not get a great photo of him and I am hoping one of Corrine's brother's photos came out better. He is there a lot, but most of the cast members don't know when he is there and they tend to keep it hush hush. We just happened to meet a manager over the Pirate's area that confirmed it was him. pirate:

First, let me just say that Liam is so full of energy and a lot of fun.
Then to answer your Depp question, he was in the parade on Sept. 11th and 15th! If you go during Halloween time, you may just see him.
Corrine, I hope all is well and you can start your trip report soon! :wizard:

Can't wait to hear all about your trip. I'm so sorry you lost your camera. I am very careless with my things too, I could see that happening to me and i'd be devastated as well. But you are right, you are so lucky that that didn't happen mid week. Ya know, I know people find things and want to keep them, but if you find a camera at Disney World with someone's memories, how could you keep it.
Well, i'm glad you had a wonderful trip..... Impatiently waiting to hear all about it.:surfweb:

Ok so I haven't been here in a while and find that you guys have been talking up a storm.:rotfl2:
I am still waiting for my brother to put all the pics on a disc so I can start my trip. It has been completly crazy. If I don't get them soon I'll have to go over there to get them.:thumbsup2 And know that I find out the Johnny Depp was in fact in the parade that night. . . I must see pics. I also have to review the video I took. Ahhhhh!!!!!!
I do have a great reason for not being here for a couple of weeks. On September 22nd I took a test and it was positive. I am pregnant!!! Little did I know that we had 6 people on our trip instead of just 5.:lmao:
