[StitchIsOurHero]

I'm in!! Can't wait to read more about it!

 

[NancyLuvsMickey]

Your TR title caught my eye... I just gotta read along now...

 

[puente0629]

Loving it so far, can't wait to hear more about the MIL

 

[dreamsofdisney]

OMG! Maddie is too adorable in the reveal video! Love the "diving suit", and how excited she got about each and every thing!

Can't wait to hear more!

 

[luckylady]

Oh my diving panties, that was to cute. Can't wait to read more.

 

[SRUAlmn]

Yay! A new TR! I loved the surprise video! I'm a first grade teacher, but have spent all of my years working with children ages 7 and younger. I just love how they see the world! It was so cute to see her explain to Uncle Corey that he was going to have to watch the dogs. It was like she felt bad being so excited with him standing there Too cute!!

 

[Caretames1]

Oh Man! I didn't even make the first page!


Kadence and I are here!!

BTW, Kadence thinks her favorite color is now Sparkle!

LOVE the video! She's a total doll!

We laughed so hard at the dogs loud barking, pooping and vomiting!

 

[ronnmel]

I'll be back later to read, but just wanted to say I'm here! I'm so excited to read about how you pulled off the surprise!

 

[shan23877]

Love the video of the surprise! Maddie is so adorable!

I don't which is my favorite part - her excitement over the "diving panties" or when she's talking about the dog pooping on the carpet. Gotta love kids - you just never know what's going to come out of their mouths!



Oh yeah - Ed will watch golf & tennis & Nascar....I don't know which one of those bore me the most.

Reid still loves Mickey Mouse too! He actually loves most of the Disney Junior shows still. Octonauts has become a favorite in the house. We like the litte songs they sing at the end. He's also getting into superheroes now so it's a mixture of Disney Junior & Spiderman, Avengers, etc. I think we're going to take him to see the Avengers movie this coming weekend. Should be a nice break form unpacking.

That's hilarious about the watch! Oh, yes! Y'all are definitely in trouble with her. By the time she becomes a teenager, she'll want clothes from all of the top designers. Forget the Gap!

Thank you! I have no idea where the diving panties came from. She's a nut. And as for the dog stuff, they don't often poop or vomit on the rug. Maybe she was imagining what would happen if they were alone for too long? Crazy kid.

DH doesn't watch Nascar, but Cory does, so I've sat through more than my fair share of races too. Also good nap times!

Mads would happily watch Disney Jr. all day, but she's getting into Barbie lately and loves those videos. Mads watches superhero movies with her Uncle Cory all the time!

My little fashion diva already has very strong opinions about what she wears, she better get a job when she's a teenager.

Connor and I watched the video together. He laughed and I cried. It was really cute. I love how she discussed where the dog would stay. Thanks for sharing that. How cool was that!

I know you were so busy before you left and cannot wait to hear all about the trip. You deserved a break and what an awesome place to take it. There is no doubt you loved CBR, but I am anxious to read your thougts.

I highly recommend you take the cruise Bryan wants. You will all love it.

Yay! I'm glad you're here! I'm don't think you can tell on the video, but I was crying a little too!

We were pretty busy, but having the trip to look forward to made it bearable. I can't wait to go back. Unfortunately, DH won't have vacation time for a year, so that'd be the earliest we could go.

CBR was great!!! I'd recommend it to anyone!

We will have to take a cruise one of these days. I think I saw that they have one cruising to Hawaii now? That's my idea of heaven!!!

YAY for a new TR! We are leaving for our vacation in an hour, but I had to take a few minutes to read your first installment this morning first.

I love the reaction video! Maddie is so sweet

Welcome! Thanks for the kind words!

Enjoy your vacation, I'll be here when you get back!

I'm so happy you were able to pull off the surprise! The video was so cute, you could just tell she was over the moon!

I think it is so funny that Michael Kors is her favorite designer, she has great taste!

You guys are in the hotel for a month, right? Please let me know how it goes. We're going to be staying at an extended stay in Norfolk for about three weeks while we are waiting for DH to deploy. I'm dreading living in a hotel, so if you have any tips to make it easier, I'm all ears!

can't wait to read about the trip!

Thanks for joining in!

It was so hard to keep the secret that last week. I wanted to tell her every 5 minutes! She was so excited!

She does have good taste, so good that it might bankrupt us

We are in the hotel for the month. My 1st piece of advice would be to plan on making a Target run the first day. We needed to get something for our clothes--I ended up with a freestanding canvas shelving unit and lots of air freshener. Seems as though the other "residents" here really enjoy curry, and the hallways and elevator reek of it. Yankee candle reed diffusers rock! Also, pack yourself lots and lots of books, puzzles, etc. I have longed for downtime like this forever, but when faces with nothing but downtime, I'm going a little crazy!! If you have any specific questions, let me know, I'm becoming an expert!!

I'm joining in...anyone who says Go Cubbies gets my attention. Where in the Chicago area did you move to?

Fellow Cubs fans are all right by me!! We just bought a house in Plainfield.

I'm here! Can't wait to read more! Our DD's could be twins!! She has the castle too and loves it!!

Welcome! Thanks for joining in! That castle is pretty special isn't it? I think it's awesome, and Maddie does too! You must have a pretty cute little girl!

I will get to join in this TR from the beginning!

I love the surprise video, so adorable. I don't think I could keep the secret.

My husband plays risk and some game like risk, (conquest maybe?) CONSTANTLY on the iPad. He also watches golf/talks about golf too much, lol. I just do not get the appeal. The only shows on my DVR are reality shows! I'm glad to know I'm not alone. I'm a big baseball fan too.

We will be staying at CBR on our trip at the end of the month but in a pirate room. I'll be interested to hear what you thought of it. I'm jealous you did DxDP, we would like to do that one day.

Can't wait to read more about your trip!

HI! Thanks for joining in! It was super hard to keep that secret toward the end. I really, really wanted to spill it.

That's a lot of similarities! I just don't understand the golf thing. It's ok to play I guess, but to watch? Snooze. I love me some reality TV-Top Chef, Project Runway, and Amazing Race are my absolute faves, but I watch much, much more than that!

You'll love CBR! It's so pretty and beachy. I'd love to stay there again. DxDP was fun. I think we'd also do that again,but with a few tweaks.

Oh no, not another Cubs fan...

I figured I'd come over and check it out since I actually saw this link before the TR really got rolling.

Congrats to your DH on the new job! I think another trip to WDW is a great way to get away from the stress of moving.

By the way, great title!

Indiana huh? So that makes you a Cardinal fan? or just ambivalent?

Glad that you're here! Hope that it'll be entertaining!

Thank you, I'm really happy for DH. I can survive almost anything if you tell me I can go to WDW afterward!

And thanks!! I think most people can relate to the MiL issue

 

[shan23877]

I'm in! LOVE your title! Can't wait to read all about your trip!!

Hi! Thanks for joining in! I subbed to your TR, but haven't gotten all caught up yet.

Maddie's reaction was way too adorable!!!! I love that she wants to make pictures for the Princesess

I loved your first TR and can't wait for this one

Thank you! Thanks for joining in! I loved her reaction, it was just so her-excited but practical.

Thanks!

I am so glad I found your TR. The surprise for your daughter was too cute! We are leaving for our 2nd trip in August and we still have not told our DD. I think I will borrow your idea and surprise her on the day we are leaving. We are leaving Friday afternoon, so I can have a bag with a new swimsuit and her autograph books that I made for her in there and let her know we are leaving that afternoon. She keeps asking to go back and we always just say "hopefully soon!"

Can't wait to read more of your adventures.

Thanks for joining in!

Yay for a surprise trip! It was so hard to keep the secret, but I'm glad that we did. She asked daily when we'd go back.

I'm here! AHHH that video was too cute! "TOMORROW?!" Can't wait to read all about it!

Yay! Glad that you're here Marissa! Thanks so much!

Can't wait to hear all about your trip.

Welcome! glad you're here!

I'm in!! Can't wait to read more about it!

thanks for joining in!

Your TR title caught my eye... I just gotta read along now...

I assume you have a mother in law...

Loving it so far, can't wait to hear more about the MIL

Thanks! And thanks for joining in!

OMG! Maddie is too adorable in the reveal video! Love the "diving suit", and how excited she got about each and every thing!

Can't wait to hear more!

Thanks for joining in! I'm not sure where the 'diving suit' came from--but it's classic Maddie. She's a nut!

Oh my diving panties, that was to cute. Can't wait to read more.

Who knows where she comes up with this stuff? Diving Panties? Certainly not a part of our vernacular... Thanks for joining in!

Yay! A new TR! I loved the surprise video! I'm a first grade teacher, but have spent all of my years working with children ages 7 and younger. I just love how they see the world! It was so cute to see her explain to Uncle Corey that he was going to have to watch the dogs. It was like she felt bad being so excited with him standing there Too cute!!

Thanks for joining in! I'll bet you hear crazy 'diving panties' stuff all the time!

She did feel bad for Uncle Cory, but once she realized that he was happy for her, she moved on. Those dogs are her main concern all the time. She even teared up at bedtime at WDW because she missed them.

Oh Man! I didn't even make the first page!


Kadence and I are here!!

BTW, Kadence thinks her favorite color is now Sparkle!

LOVE the video! She's a total doll!

We laughed so hard at the dogs loud barking, pooping and vomiting!

Yay! Hi guys!

Please tell Kadence that I think sparkle is an excellent favorite color.

Thanks so much! I'm so glad that I videoed it.

Yeah, poor dogs. They don't often act so irresponsibly--she must have been imagining the worst...

I'll be back later to read, but just wanted to say I'm here! I'm so excited to read about how you pulled off the surprise!

Hi! Glad that you're here!

How's the pregnancy going? Feeling ok? I'll bet you're very ready to be on leave from work.

 

[MaryAz]

Oh my goodness your DD cracked me up! She is a hoot!! My 5 yr old DD loves House Hunters. SHe will watch an say " I dont see crown molding or granite countertops" LOL. They would get along great. I am off to read your previous TR

 

[KatMark]

I can't quote on my iPhone (fat fingers), but wanted to say you are about 40 minutes from us...we're in Carol Stream.

 

[shan23877]

Thanks for joining in!

Your DD sounds like she would have been very helpful when we were house hunting! That's hilarious! I bet she and Maddie would be thick as thieves!

Hope you enjoy the TR!

 

[shan23877]

I can't quote on my iPhone (fat fingers), but wanted to say you are about 40 minutes from us...we're in Carol Stream.

I know exactly where that is! My college roommate worked at a video store in Carol Stream on breaks, and her boyfriend was from there too. Her family and my DH's godfather live in Winfield. Small world!

 

[ZehnJahren]

I just stumbled on your TR and saw you were from my neck of the woods, so I read a little (you're about 50 miles from me, if you're in Plainfield). I'm a reality show nut too, from way back - so I kept reading. Then I saw your reveal video and it was adorable, so I'm in for this TR.

We had to live in a hotel for a month back in 2009 when we were between an apartment and the closing date on our condo; it actually wasn't too bad. It wasn't too good, but it wasn't too bad. However, I do NOT want to do that again! I thought DBF and I were going to go nuts in that small space with both of us trying to work around the other person and their schedule; it was definitely a trial by fire!

I tend to lurk a lot more than comment, but I'll be here reading for sure!

 

[afwdwfan]

Indiana huh? So that makes you a Cardinal fan? or just ambivalent?

Oh, dear God no! That's even worse than the Cubs.

I'm about 80 miles from Cincinnati.

And thanks!! I think most people can relate to the MiL issue

 

[Bethislucy]

I forgot to say I love that you kept the "Friends" style chapter titles.

 

[ZehnJahren]

Oh, dear God no! That's even worse than the Cubs.

I'm about 80 miles from Cincinnati.

Whoa, whoa, whoa - nothing wrong with a Cardinals fan, now!

 

[afwdwfan]

Whoa, whoa, whoa - nothing wrong with a Cardinals fan, now!

Ok, I'll give you this one... at least you've seen your team win.

 

[KatMark]

Oh, dear God no! That's even worse than the Cubs.

I'm about 80 miles from Cincinnati.

Cardinals and the White Sox -- the worse. Leave my Cubbies alone though...they've not won a World Series in over 100 years and probably won't in the next 20 years either.
