Trevor's Star Wars Make A Wish trip

[dianemom2]

The 2nd Mickey Mail of the day comes from Dianemom2. Thank you SO much for blessing my kiddos with such adorable clothes!! I know what they will be wearing tomorrow 40 degrees and rain does not stop my kiddos from wearing summer attire

The clothes are SUPER cute and the kids LOVE them! They would not get out of them the rest of the night! Again thank you for blessing our family!

Jackie

I am glad that you got them and that the kids liked them. I hope you have a wonderful trip to Disney!

Jackie, I am way behind on all my subscribed theads. I'm still thinking of you. The next three weeks are going to be crazy with a fundraiser at the theater. (I'll be at the theater 5 days this week plus we are making magnetic hats to sell at the fundraiser when we aren't at the theater).

More Mickey Mail today!! 2 more packages came and the girls were SUPER excited!! It was hard for them to wait for Trev to get home. Especially since the packages were delivered at 10am! We happened to be home so they had a LONG wait!

The first one comes from Kellygirl. Thank you SO much for blessing our family! They LOVED all their gifts! They were tearing open each thing as they got it out. It was hard to get pics! Here are a few

The kids LOVED everything! They got Ariel squinkies, a Lego pen, Darth Vader toy, coloring books, water color books, crayons, cards and SUPER cute Mickey bags! Thank you SO much. You made the kids day! The played squinkies and colored and Trev wrote silly stories with his new pen!

Jackie

I am so glad that they loved everything. The bags were one of my very first sewing projects - I am trying to learn! Thanks for the great pictures - it makes my heart happy to see them enjoying everything. The paint with water books are a big favorite with my almost 3 year old twins.

They look so adorable in their new outfits. Thanks for sharing your story with us. I am so excited for your trip!!!!

Love how they're always hugging

They like each other most of the time Trev is ALWAYS hugging his sisters though... Even when they don't want him too!

I completely understand! I have gotten behind myself. I have subscribed to so many it is hard to keep up with them all! I hope the fundraiser goes well!

You did a great job on the bags! The last time I attempted sewing was when I was in Jr. High. I have thought about learning how to sew but it has not gone any farther than that!

So many twin moms on here! The girls are starting to understand a little more what twins are but I don't think they totally get it. Someone asked them if they were sisters and they said "NO! We are twins!!" Um, girls that makes you sisters

More Mickey Mail!!! I have to apologize in advance if these came sooner... The weather hasn't been that nice when I get home so I haven't gotten the mail in the last few days since it is in a locked box and I went out today to get it and there were 2 more packages in there!

The first is from Purple Ears. It contained Star Wars dresses for the girls! They are AMAZING!! Thank you for blessing my girls with such awesome dresses! Once they seen them they put them off and wore them all night except for dinner as we had smoothies with dinner and I don't trust 4 year olds not to spill

The dresses are perfect and the girls LOVED twirling around the house in them! Here is picture overload again

The next package came from the Litton family. Sorry there was no other info so I don't know your Dis name!

Thank you for blessing our family with your amazing gifts!! Trev loves his Star Wars Tic Tac Toe game! You did an amazing job on it!! That has been is new favorite game lately no matter where we are he wants to start a game up!
The girls loved their Star Wars hair pretties!

I tried getting Allie's pic with her hair pretty but for some reason it won't show up! Thank you again! The kids LOVE their new Star Wars game and hair pretties! (And as you can tell they are loving their new outfits )

Jackie

 

[miprender]

Thanks! Every year we can hold off surgery the better! I know he needs one soon but hopefully he can wait 5 years that would be the best outcome! Plus I didn't really want 2 kids having surgery this year... One is stressful enough! I sure hope you are able to get everything straightened out and Angel can go on her cruise this April!

Jackie

That is great news.


And WOW on all the great gifts that are coming in. The outfits are just amazing

 

[angel's momma]

The Star Wars dresses are wonderful, and the tic tac toe game & hair clips are so cute

 

[dianemom2]

What great Mickey mail! I love the Star Wars dresses and the Star Wars tic tac toe looks fun!

 

[lovethattink]

What awesome dresses for the girls! Loving checking out all the wonderful gifts.

I completely understand! I have gotten behind myself. I have subscribed to so many it is hard to keep up with them all! I hope the fundraiser goes well!
Jackie

JJ had a blast last night at the theater selling magnetic hats. Unfortunately we only sold 7 there. Dh sold 6 on his own showing them off to friends over the last few days.

We are back tonight. Hoping and praying they sell! Each special needs production costs about $5000. They do 2 performances a year, so it would be extremely helpful if ALL the hats sold!

Thanks for the tip! Maybe Universal would work for the last day then? I don't think we would do the water park at Legoland. Maybe we can take him to the Lego store and at would suffice?
Jackie

Universal would put you alot closer to the airport than Legoland. I think that would be a wise choice of park.

Legoland is very nice on a cooler day. JJ loves it there and I'm sure your children would too.

I JUST received the results from Trev's tests... His stress test and CPAP came out excellent!! His MRI however came back showing slight enlargement of his right ventricle but we already knew that. The function is good despite that fact though. SO no surgery this year!!! PTL!!! Now it will be easier to focus on happier stuff I know he will need surgery soon, but we are praying it will not be before age 12 as that is when his heart will be adult sized. He would need more surgeries than necessary if they do it now.

So happy right now

Jackie

Wonderful news!! I'm so glad you got good reports. I'm sure it's such a relief. I'll join you in prayer for no surgery needed before age 12.

We are trying to decide if we should try and squeeze in a park on our last day. Our plane leaves at 7pm so I think we could try and do something. We were thinking maybe Universal? We wanted to see Harry Potter and the Super Heros for sure. Or maybe hang out at GKTW that day and try to do a park our first day there... Although we arrive about 6am that morning...

Jackie

Disney, Universal and Sea World all have easy access to 417 to get you to the airport.

As for the first day, if they sleep on the plane, I think a park is feasible. But if they are too excited and don't, a park could really wear them out unless you take it easy and make it a relaxing park day. If you spend the day at GKTW then they'll know what's all there. Either way, it's a win-win for the kids.

We are thinking of doing medieval times while at Disney. I'm just wondering how two 4 year olds and a 7 year old would like it? It has been 15 years since I went so I really don't remember that much about it. Thanks!

Jackie

Medieval times is very intense. There are no utensils and you eat with your hands. Everyone I know who has seen it is older; and they just loved it. Many of our schools do it as a field trip. I'm allergic to horses so I've never gone.

These were from me. This was my first give so I wasn't sure what to include as far as info. My 7 year old loves tic tac toe so I thought yours might too.

Thank you so much for sharing the pictures! Seeing your girls' smiles makes it all worthwhile. I hope your family will have lots of fun at Star Wars Weekend!

Thanks for all the advice!! I really appreciate it! I hope you guys are able to raise all the funds you need for the theater. I love the hats you guys made! After looking into medieval times I think we will wait until they are a little older. I'm sure the girls will sleep on the plane... They fall asleep in the car pretty easily when they are tired. Trev will be hit or miss and as for myself I am going to be medicated so I am sure I will get some sleep Long flights are not my thing.

These were from me. This was my first give so I wasn't sure what to include as far as info. My 7 year old loves tic tac toe so I thought yours might too.

Thanks again! Trev has really been into tic tac toe lately so it was perfect! Plus it is Star Wars. Doesn't get much better than that!

Thank you so much for sharing the pictures! Seeing your girls' smiles makes it all worthwhile. I hope your family will have lots of fun at Star Wars Weekend!

The kids have no problem getting their pics taken so it makes it easy to go a little overboard... Not that they are always looking at the camera though! 3 months from today and we will be at GKTW! We are SO excited!!


So today we decided to take the hour plus ride down to the Rain Forest Cafe to start getting the kids ready for their 5-6 hour flight. The kids did great! The loved everything about it but of course did not eat anything! Makes me rethink having lunch reservations for character dining... We are going to start taking longer day trips in hopes the kids will no a little of what to expect when we are on the plane. I'm thinking of putting the girls in pull ups for the plane ride... That may make it a little easier on us They will be 4 1/2 so I think they may be okay with it...

Daddy accidentally told Trev that today is exactly 3 months before we will be in Disney World and Trev didn't miss a beat and said we are going June 2nd! I calmly asked my husband "oh the wish grantor called?" He said "no, I was just thinking it might be around that time..." Trev was a little upset and said he really wanted it to be a surprise and find out at his reveal party. We talked a little bit and I think he believes us that we really don't know details yet. We have only told a couple people around us the exact dates in hopes the kids will not find out! Hopefully Trev forgets all about it and is surprised at his reveal party.

Jackie

 

[angel's momma]

Glad you had a nice trip today

Sorry about the slip up He'll be so excited at the reveal party, it's n ot likely that he's going to remember.

 

[Lilfoot93]

The weather has been pretty nice so we have been out enjoying it along with swim practice for the kids. They are LOVING it!! I think we are going to keep the girls in until it is time for our trip. They will probably be swimming by that point! Trev wants to continue but next month he starts soccer so I think that will be enough for him

Here are my silly fish in the water...

Sorry it is a little blurry... It is hard to keep them both still in the water at the same time

We just found out that Scott will be going to a work conference in California a couple weeks after our trip. We are trying to find out a way for us to all go or just myself but I think it may be the kids and I staying home doing our own vacation Crazy because we haven't been on vacation as a family before and now we have Trev's wish trip in June and possibly Scott's work conference the end of June. We need to squeeze Kara's surgery in there somewhere too... The girls miss the cutoff by 9 days so we are getting them tested for early entrance. They are more than ready for Kindergarten. That is all they talk about!

The kids are getting super excited for Disney World. They play with all their new toys and change their outfits multiple times a day singing how they get to wear them at Disney World

The kids have been making lists of what they want to do and see. Most of it is what Scott and I have talked about or showed them but just that little bit has gotten them excited!

[Lilfoot93]

Last night when we got home from swimming there was a package waiting for us! The kids were excited for Mickey Mail!! The girls were tired after swimming and it was late so they were hard to capture on film

This package was from the Dinunzio family! Thank you for the wonderful gifts! The kids LOVED them!!

I had Trev model the bag but I only had one shot

Thank you so much for blessing my kiddos! Trev loves his new spider man shirt and of course is wearing it to school today

We also got an adorable Tinkerbell bag with lots of pockets on the inside. Perfect for storing things in when we are walking around the parks!

Thank you SO much!!

Jackie

 

[angel's momma]

Glad the kids are having fun at swimming. Hope it works out for going to CA, and for the girls to start Kindergarten.

Trev looks great in his Spiderman shirt, and Tink bag is so cute

Love the pictures of the kids swimming. My girls used to love swim lessons when they were that age. One is a strong swimmer but the other had low muscle tone so she wasn't a great swimmer. But I wanted to make sure that they were both safe in the water. Swimming is a great skill to have!

How wonderful if your family could go to California even for a part of the time your DH is on his business trip.

It sounds like the kids are getting really excited about Disney. We used to have a sing along video that was shot at Disney World and showed lots of rides. My kids watched it over and over again to see Disney World. You are going to have so much fun!

I love the Spidey shirt and the Tinkerbell bag. The colors on the Tinkerbell bag are great! It will make a wonderful bag for you to carry in the park.

If you have Netflix streaming they have 5-6 Disney world videos my kids love. Some behind the scenes stuff but nothing that will ruin the magic. We watch them quite regularly since we can't just "get on a plane then a bus and go to Disney world" like my 3-year-olds would have you believe.

 

[mommy2mrb]

love all the new big gives! happy the kids are enjoying swimming!
hope the trip to CA will work out for you all to go and enjoy some extra vacation time!
