I am LOVING my new hair now that I've had a few days to get used to it! It really has taken a lot of weight off my neck and it's so much cooler.EWWWWWWWW Sorry about the sickies. Knock on wood, it's been awhile since my kids have had the throwing up sickies that have run thru the house (and of course now that I have tempted the gods, we will all start throwing up tonight!).
I forgot to comment on the hair...it looks so much healither!!! I had mine cut off in March (and not since!) and it is sooooooooo much lighter!!! I'm due for another cut (and shhhhhhhh, color), actually overdue, but now that we are in Disney mode, I will hold off to save money!
Our kids go back to school at the end of the month. Part of me is excited to get them back in school and part of me is not.
It was so fun! I think I was in shock, though, so it was just a quick hi/bye. Now that we know we're near each other, I'm sure we'll get together and have plenty to say!That's awesome that you and Heather had an unofficial DIS meet!!! How random and fun!
Julia looks so cute heading off to school! The modified schedule really does sound great!
Your hair looks fabulous!! Good for you for donating!!
Hope everyone is feeling better soon!!
Thanks! Pictures of dance coming up in just a minute !Your hair looks great!! Can't wait to see the purchases and pictures of the tap and ballet classes. Your trip is just around the corner.
Thank you! We're all feeling better now, FINALLY.I love your haircut! That is wonderful you donated your hair to Locks of Love.
I hope everyone feels all better soon!
I cant wait to see all of your purchases!
Girl, you are just fashionably late. That's always my excuse for being a posting loser...only fabulous people show up fashionably late!Ahh sorry, I'm a little late in responding. But what a bummer about the kids being sick again! That has got to be the worst. Also, can I just say how jealous I am how SOON your trip is?! Man, September will be here before you know it, and you'll be back in the best place on Earth! I love the school year for you guys; must make vacations WAYS easier to take, especially during the slower times of year at Disney World!
It most certainly did have way too many ups and downs, but we actually fit in most of what we wanted to do and still had a ton of fun! Of course I hope it doesn't happen again, but at least we know that we can handle it if it does and that it's all about the attitude.Hello again! Sorry it's been a while.....I am all caught up with the last trip and this P.T.R. The last trip seemed to have its ups and downs for sure. I hope this one is even better for ya!!
OH. MY. HEAVENS! MATTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!! I feel like royalty just visited this PTR!Hey, this is Dani's (DaniMaroo's) husband, and she mentioned I should check out your TR/PTR, and I'm now all caught up! Can't wait to see your plans, especially since we're considering a September trip in the future! Out of curiosity, is it pretty hot/muggy during that month?
OH. MY. HEAVENS! MATTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!! I feel like royalty just visited this PTR!
Thanks for reading all my ramblings. I will admit that I have been really distracted lately and haven't been posting my plans that well, but I have the best intentions...that's what counts, right!?!
In a word, YES. YES, it is hot and muggy in September, but nowhere near the summertime level of yuck. Mornings and evenings are actually pretty pleasant, but middle of the day can be rough. To me, though, that's just a reason to play in all the water features because no one will think I'm insane.
Glad you're joining in. If you like what you read, feel free to send me your MacBook.
Way back a couple of weekends ago, I did go shopping and bought lots of things. On that trip, I had my first Dismeet ever, and it was totally unintentional! I saw Heather (hlrababy) getting in the elevator with Sawyer and me at the mall while my girls and their dad rode the escalator upstairs. She was maybe a little creeped out that I stared her down. I was SURE it was her, and I'm not sure where I got the nerve, but I ran over to her and asked if she was a Diser! How cool is that!?!
It was so fun! I think I was in shock, though, so it was just a quick hi/bye. Now that we know we're near each other, I'm sure we'll get together and have plenty to say!
Missing by only one day would definitely make me more frustrated than missing it by weeks! BOO! I understand about missing rides because of pregnancy; last year was the first year I got to ride ANY Mountain!Hooray for one month!
I just got caught up on several posts...boo to the stomach bug...hope the kids are finally over it. Your hair looks great! That's wonderful that you were able to donate twice from the same cut.
Epcot plans look fabulous. Yes, World Showcase can be great for napping in the stroller. When we stay offsite with my DH's family and their timeshare we don't take a midday break because of the time. We do however let the kids sack out in the strollers and take some down time in the parks. And we have two trips planned and will miss Test Track both times! The second trip we miss the reopening by ONE day. So, we feel your frustration! Also, we went twice this spring and didn't get to ride BTMRR at MK. Andy rode it before on previous trips but I was pregnant on those trips so it has been YEARS since I rode it. I'm looking forward to several rides on it in the coming months.
Last, LOVE the girls ballet picture. They are so cute.
Oh, well. A girl can dream. I'm sure Apple has a patch for that. They just aren't ready to release it yet.Stupid auto login still had my old account! Anyways -
Yay! And as much as I would like to reward your amazing TR with my Macbook, I can't be more than 10 feet away from it or I start going into withdrawal. Unfortunately, they don't make a Macbook Patch to help deal with the cravings.
Also, Washington is about to hit 90 degrees this weekend, so we could still use shorts as well!
Kid with a stroller always puts me on edge, too. Julia has no shame. When she's concentrating on pushing Sawyer, she doesn't even stop to apologize to the people whose feet she's constantly running over!Haha I promise you I was not creeped out! I think I was concerned with Hollie trying to push Hannah around in the stroller, which means she runs like a wild girl while pushing Hannah and I am screaming for her to stop!! ha ha
Oh absolutely!!! I love Dismeets!
We've never seen the France Movie. We've never seen ANY movie there, come to think of it! We even walked right by the one after Maelstrom.Plans look great! We are an Epcot family for sure and the more time spent there the better! I really don't like leaving Epcot for a break because the bus stops are so darn far away!!! We stayed at Pop on our last 2 trips and that it literally the furthest bus stop from the exit. You're like in a different zip code I swear. Anyways...there are so many great places at Epcot to escape the heat (hello Figment and the France movie...my family has never seen it).
Look, Dani. I have personally been planning on packing up my family and crashing at your house for my dream Northwest vacation, and the weather you're having is ruining it. RUINING! Make it stop. Please. For the children.Um, I feel famous because I got a big ol' SHOUT OUT from you in your PTR! Haha. Though honestly, it has been pretty hot here! In fact, I think Friday it's supposed to hit 94. Noooot happy about it, but at least I'll be at work in the AC during the day! We have AC in our bedroom, but that's it, and our big great room downstairs turns into a SAUNA because of all the windows. I love that room, but the summer is absolutely BRUTAL.
We might take the dogs out with us Friday night in the car just to be in the AC for a bit and maybe go somewhere cooler just to get them out of the house. ANYWAY, enough about me.
The girls look super cute in their outfits! And also, I'm very excited to see photos of the coordinated outfits.
I love the sounds of your Epcot plans! 1.1 for crowds is pretty unbeatable! You're kind of starting to sell me on going in September... EXCEPT for the heat and humidity! I cannot STAND heat and humidity, like, ugh. I do not miss Boston's ridiculously hot summers because of this. But you do make a good point that we can just take that as an opportunity to take an afternoon break and go swimming! We'd probably make it into more of a relaxed trip anyway... Hmmm, I just might have to consider this, and ya know... talk Matt into doing 2 WDW trips in one year. So jealous you guys will be there so soon! TAKE ME WITH YOOOUUUU.
Yeah, that's not very pleasant, either. I just mouth breathe during that part!Yay for 1 month left!!!! And for Mickey Mail!!!
Your Epcot plans sound great! I love Figment, but my "despite the" is the skunk smell!
Not sure if it helps at all, but up here, shorts are still on sale at everywhere I've seen! (DEFINITELY at Target! )
That sounds PERFECT! Brynn does not sit. Like EVER. But she loves having lots to look at, and 360 degrees of movie sounds right up her alley. Perfect.Oh!
We had never seen any of the Epcot movies either until May and we tried out the movie in Canada with Martin Short. I would highly recommend it, actually. There are no seats because it's a 360 screen so the kiddos can plop down in the cool AC if need be. But it's really neat to turn around and take it all in. They have these wooden rails people can lean on if they need to.
My grandmother is full Canadian...we walked out and Andy asked if it made me proud of my Canadian roots.
I always feel like that, too! I will swear I posted and then it's not there when I go back and look. Frustrating! (That, or I'm crazy)I feel like I keep responding to your posts, and they keep not showing up
Your hair looks great!
1.1 crowd level? That's amazing! We'll be stuck with summers from now on.
Beautiful girls on their way to dance class!
I can't believe that the trip is so close now! I can't wait to hear about it.
I have the camera that Brandon is selling. This makes me happy because that means if I learn how to use it, I'll have pictures almost as good as yours!
I hear ya about the school shopping frustration. I've been trying to buy anything but summer gear (seriously where are all the long sleeved shirts and jeans?) It's still pretty warm here, but the weather will turn on a dime, so I like to be ready for it. I had to go to an "outdoor" store just to find Maddie a fleece jacket!
