Tasty Planning Time with ZeBrook! A 2 for 1 PTR - 12/24 - All our bags are packed

[KathyRN137]

So, I'm sitting here in a smaller boot that just wraps around my ankle, foot propped up. I'm certain I will see more progress over the next couple weeks and will NOT need a scooter for our trip! I will most likely bring the small brace along-just to be safe-but things are looking very good!

Yay!! So happy for you!

That's a cool countdown chart! I always love putting it up because that means the trip is really close!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

So glad that you are able to use a small boot now!

I love your countdown, it looks adorable. What a fun thing for you and Henry to do every morning!

 

[PracPerfPatricia]

Brook-Congrats on both the countdown and the lighter boot...!

You are well on your way to recovery-but you must try not to overdo it-easy to say right-I'm very good at giving advice (that I don't always follow...)...but better to take it as easy at you can for a little bit...

you do need to give your body the time to heal itself...-I know easy with a toddler running around...

But you have Joe and you have to love a man who brings you travel size toiletries-I thought that was very cute...

Would love to be able to see Henry doing his "Life is a Highway Dance"-little boys can have a surpisingly good sense of rythmn...

 

[jenjolt]

Awww Brook!! I adore your countdown calendar its just so perfectly Henry!! And look at the little man as he was able to put on his own sticker on the countdown!!!

Oh...I just adore travel size stuff makes me want to buy some now...so I might have to visit Target soon...I just love their travel aisle LOL!!!!

Cute countdown calendar! My cousin's son (who turned 4 in April) also LOVES Cars. He had a Cars birthday party and pretty much everyone got him Cars presents. We got him a big coloring book which we heard he ended up sleeping with one night. haha!

 

[MRYPPNS]

Yay for your count down calendar! I wish I could put one up but with going solo I don't think that would be a very nice thing for me to do to DH.

Did you know that the Disney website has the Mater Tall Tales shorts on it? It's under the character section for Cars....Liam and I discovered that yesterday.

 

[ptcrn]

Ok, I have to de-lurk now because Henry is soooo stinkin' cute! I have just been reading your last TR and laughed out loud through the whole thing! My little boy is the same age and they do such similar things! I love that picture of Henry looking at the calendar. And the one of him holding the Mickey postcard is too sweet!

Yay for less than 30 days! I can't wait to see all your pictures from this new trip- you take such great pics.

I hope all goes well with the boot and that you will be able to be scooter free at Disney!

 

[LaurenMic]

Hooray for the smaller boot!! Things are coming along for you, that is great Sorry to hear about the problems at work though that doesn't sound good at all!

Woo hoo Target travel aisle, I'm obsessed with it! Looks like you got some great stuff.

The countdown is adorable! I applaud your coloring job

 

[onelilspark]

Who doesn't love the travel sized asile at Target??

 

[SoonerGirl]

A while ago someone here (was it you SoonerGirl? I cannot recall who! ) directed me to a site full of DIScreations for countdowns, the Cars one was a good choice with Henry's love of all things with wheels.

It was me - and I love the Cars one!! They are all so cute though aren't they? I'm going to use the Christmas one if I ever get to 30 days - it's taking forever to get here!

I'm so glad Henry likes the countown calendar.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Hurrah for a smaller boot and all systems go for WDW. Bringing out the countdown really makes it real! H did so well with the stickers - too cute! I can't wait for your trip!!

Hope you are able to resolve those pesky software bugs soon. Don't they know how much DIS'ing there is to be done in these final 30 days?

 

[IBelieveInTheMagic]

Yeah for the smaller boot and progress!!!

YAHOO on the countdown calendar.. I can't wait for you guys and you're setting so close! The pictures of Henry doing the calendar are adorable, of course!

TARGET RULES!! I love the $1 travel aisle too and just picked up a few things tonight as well! I picked up another $1 sunscreen, two tooth brush holders, travel Suave for kids and I also got me two Tide sticks on clearance not that long ago. I swear, I'm going to have to start packing soon!

Enjoy your weekend!

[MeMom]

And then, I allowed him to select one for himself, he chose Nemo

Look at him checkin' out Lightning McQueen!

Too cute! You go ahead with that sticker, Mom, but I'm keepin' my eyes on the cars!

 

[A.Mickey]

I cannot believe how much older Henry looks, just from your vacation at the Dells! But maybe that was a long time ago?!?!

Too cute that he could care less about the Nemo sticker!

 

[disneydusted]

Hi Brook! I'm in and out this whole summer but I've been following along, catching up from your first page links... anyway, I wanted to say LESS THAN A MONTH!!!!! Wow! You must be in super excited mode right now!
And Henry... I LOVE the photo of him looking at the Disney postcard! What a riot! And then him really studying the countdown calendar, adorable! Having a boy I do understand the boy fixations! He is such a cute little guy!

 

[brookelizabeth]

I love the countdown calendar! You are so close, I cannot wait to see how Henry is this trip!

Good for you to accept being Point Poor... I am sure I will feel it soon! I am curbing the desire to get a trip before June to use some of the points.....and I know no add on until I go back to work full time, and I am not in a hurry to do that!

It's so hard to resist, isn't it? I've even browsed resales a couple times... But, I even told myself as I was doing it, "I'm just window shopping, I'm just window shopping..."

Yay!! So happy for you!
Kathy

Thanks Kathy!

That's a cool countdown chart! I always love putting it up because that means the trip is really close!!

Me too! It's so much fun to see the days go by.

So glad that you are able to use a small boot now!

I love your countdown, it looks adorable. What a fun thing for you and Henry to do every morning!

Thanks! It is WONDERFUL to be in the small boot.

Henry gets excited when I pull out the stickers for the countdown and he always wants to put on more than one. So do I though...wishing the trip was even closer!

Brook-Congrats on both the countdown and the lighter boot...!

You are well on your way to recovery-but you must try not to overdo it-easy to say right-I'm very good at giving advice (that I don't always follow...)...but better to take it as easy at you can for a little bit...

Would love to be able to see Henry doing his "Life is a Highway Dance"-little boys can have a surpisingly good sense of rythmn...

I am trying to take it easy...like you said, easier to say than do! But, each night I try to put my feet up for a while and that seems to help a lot, and I try to put my foot up while I'm at work too since I'm sitting for so long. It's gotten better and better each day, so the other day we went grocery shopping and I tried it without the scooter-and all went well! Then we got home and I sat and put my feet up while Joe put the groceries away.

I'll see if I can snag some video of Henry boppin' to some music. He basically bounces like Tigger! Its cute!

Thanks Jen! It's fun to do every morning with Henry, and he enjoys it with the stickers and pointing out the cars to me!

I love the travel size stuff too - when I'm browsing and buying, it means a trip is around the corner! I'm thinkin' you might be visiting it very soon too with your trip coming up!!

Cute countdown calendar! My cousin's son (who turned 4 in April) also LOVES Cars. He had a Cars birthday party and pretty much everyone got him Cars presents. We got him a big coloring book which we heard he ended up sleeping with one night. haha!

That is so cute! I love it! Henry sleeps with his toy Lightning McQueen and Mack almost every night so his first few words of the day are, "Mommy, Da Da, Mack!"

Yay for your count down calendar! I wish I could put one up but with going solo I don't think that would be a very nice thing for me to do to DH.

Did you know that the Disney website has the Mater Tall Tales shorts on it? It's under the character section for Cars....Liam and I discovered that yesterday.

Are those Mater shorts the same as the ones they have on YouTube? There are 3 on YouTube, one is called something like Mater the Greater, another might be about him bullfighting? I've seen them all 87922 times I think, but I tune out after a while! We usually hit up YouTube for videos (and variety so we don't go nutsy!) I'll have to check out the Disney Website and see if they have some new stuff!

Is your DH bummed about your solo trip? You could do a private countdown...



Little boy just woke up...more replies later!

 

[robinm1215]

Oh your trip is so soon! And THV and Kidani all in one! That really sounds like an awesome trip - are you writing a TR? (Have I asked you that already? )

We have gone twice during the F&W Festival. Last year we partook in some of the booths, not quite as much as we were hoping as we don't didn't feel good that day, but it was still a good time! And back in 06 on our Disneymoon when I hadn't a clue what it was all about. We hope to go at some point (soon, hopefully!) during the F&G Festival. I know I would love it with all the beautiful flowers.

Our anniversary is in October-so I wouldn't doubt us ending up around that time again in a future year!

Yes, our trip is really soon, I can hardly believe it. We've been planning for almost a year so it doesn't seem real that it is finally almost here. I guess I'll believe it when I'm on the plane on Wednesday!

I don't think I'm going to do a trip report. Going with my 2 best friends and their kids and not sure how comfortable they would be with me posting pics of their kids, you know what I mean? I'd love to do one just to have a memory of our trip, but I think I may do a scrapbook (maybe even the Disney Photopass book -- depends on how lazy I'm feeling ) instead.

I just looked back at your trip report from last fall and we just missed each other then too -- I was there Halloween week last year. Hopefully you can get to the F&W festival soon when you're all feeling a little bit better

The Flower & Garden Festival is also a great time to go -- I have been in April the past 2 years and the weather has been great and Epcot is just beautiful. I think October and April are my 2 favorite times to be at the world. Of course I have yet to be down there in December to see the holiday decorations.

So glad to hear you got the smaller boot! Hopefully your foot is feeling a lot better soon.

And I love your countdown calendar. Looks like a fun thing to do with Henry each morning!

Hi there!
Thanks for reading and de-lurking!

Isn't this age so much fun? Joe and I are loving watching Henry learn and grow! Everyday something new happens, I can't keep up on the calendar anymore!

Hooray for the smaller boot!! Things are coming along for you, that is great Sorry to hear about the problems at work though that doesn't sound good at all!

Woo hoo Target travel aisle, I'm obsessed with it! Looks like you got some great stuff.

The countdown is adorable! I applaud your coloring job

Eh, it happens at work! It makes for a stressful couple of weeks, but it happens. Thankfully this time around has not been nearly as painful last time we found a major bug in the application. This one has been quicker, and affected WAY fewer Clients! Whew!

Thanks for the kudos on the coloring job! I was pretty pleased we had colored pencils in the house versus half broken crayons...

Who doesn't love the travel sized asile at Target??

So true!

It was me - and I love the Cars one!! They are all so cute though aren't they? I'm going to use the Christmas one if I ever get to 30 days - it's taking forever to get here!

I'm so glad Henry likes the countown calendar.

They really are all adorable! I will probably use a Christmas one too-even though we are going after Christmas. I agree with you, the days slowlyyyyy creep by on that countdown, but before we know it our ADR window will be here, then it starts to fly a bit more!

Hurrah for a smaller boot and all systems go for WDW. Bringing out the countdown really makes it real! H did so well with the stickers - too cute! I can't wait for your trip!!

Hope you are able to resolve those pesky software bugs soon. Don't they know how much DIS'ing there is to be done in these final 30 days?

I know it! I should tell everyone at work I need some PTO pre-trip to get all caught up here. I wonder how that would fly with my boss?

I found a few more sets of stickers I had stashed away and Henry is LOVING them all. Everyday one goes on the calendar, and one on his shirt. He gets so excited!

Yeah for the smaller boot and progress!!!

YAHOO on the countdown calendar.. I can't wait for you guys and you're setting so close! The pictures of Henry doing the calendar are adorable, of course!

Our trip is getting really close! I can start playing the "In 3 weeks..." game this week!

We have the suitcase out already...he he! I just drop random stuff into it as I think about it/we purchase it. Right now it just has a couple big bags that fold down smaller in it, the travel aisle purchases and the Dollar Store gear I bought earlier. Pretty soon we'll start packing seriously though!

Too cute! You go ahead with that sticker, Mom, but I'm keepin' my eyes on the cars!

Exactly!

I cannot believe how much older Henry looks, just from your vacation at the Dells! But maybe that was a long time ago?!?!

Too cute that he could care less about the Nemo sticker!

Nope! The Dells was in MAY! 3 months ago, that's it! He has grown SO much this summer. For his birthday I am going to grab pictures from each month dating back to his birth, then I'll really see the difference just a month makes!

Hi Brook! I'm in and out this whole summer but I've been following along, catching up from your first page links... anyway, I wanted to say LESS THAN A MONTH!!!!! Wow! You must be in super excited mode right now!
And Henry... I LOVE the photo of him looking at the Disney postcard! What a riot! And then him really studying the countdown calendar, adorable! Having a boy I do understand the boy fixations! He is such a cute little guy!

I am really excited! The days seem to be going by slowly though--which is good, because the mark of our trip also means Henry's 2nd birthday, and the beginning of the end of summer in Minnesota! So, I'm kinda okay with it creeping by in a way.

Thank you for all the sweet words about Henry! He's so much fun, and it's a blast to see his personality and interests develop. Everything in this house is cars, trucks, or choo-choos. Followed by Mickey. Cars has been trumping Mickey lately though...at least Cars is Disney, right???

This summer has been busy for us too - I am lamely trying to keep up on over 40 trip reports and always find myself behind on someone's. It's alright though, it happens! ENJOY the summer while it's here!
