My 4 1/2 year old and I are voting for the 2nd one!

 

[MaryAz]

I like the 2nd one as well.

 

[that's nice]

I don't mean to follow the crowd.. but I like the 2nd one too.

Or just do both!

The only reason I don't like the first one is becuase you can't really see Mickey's ears while he is standing in front of the bigger Mickey ears. Maybe if the standing Mickey's ears were outlined in white to make them stand out that design would look better- does that make sense ??? But with the designs 'as is' I'm going with the rest of the group and picking the second choice.

Hey! Did you decide on a design? I can't wait to see the tees!

 

[disney<333]

Congrats on the weight loss. You're doing great!!
Your Disney nights are so cute!! The boys are adorable. Looks like a great Easter. I vote for the 2nd shirt.

 

[my2disneyboys]

I loved all the feedback !!! Thanks for your help on the Tee's!! I took some ideas and asked her to change it a bit.... here is the final version.... It is a little busy but I like it. The girls all wanted their names and the boys and kids wanted the characters so this was good for all! I am thinking I will order the shirts from Jiffy and in red!!

What do you think!? WendyPooh designed it... and on the back will be...

I am ordering the transfer paper this week from Amy Mickey.... I cant wait to start working on them!!!

I also am going to make 2 shirts for Myles and Owen for our last day. We will have an early ADR at Crystal Palace. I think I will put these on a navy blue shirt. These were designed by Shadowwriter

 

[my2disneyboys]

I really like the second one...

Me too!

Ooooooh, I like them both! The second one would probably show up a little better. What about putting it on a red shirt? Red just makes for such great group shots! So cute! I have not seen this DISign and trust me, I have looked at TONS of them!!!!!

Thanks!! Great idea- I think I will put them on a red shirt!!

Nice DISigns!! I think I like the first one better, but they are both really cute! I like the 1st one because they have the first names on them and the 2nd one is harder to read with the words being in the Mickey head with all of the characters. I think if the 2nd one just had your 1st name in the head then said Goody Family Vacation 2011 under the head it would look better. Maybe make one of each as a test and see which one shows up best! Did that make any sense?

So Funny. All the girls in my family said they wanted the names!! I tried to have her put the family trip 2011 under but she did it this way and I feel bad asking her to change it again and I kind of like it all in the head.... I think it will be easier when I have to cut the head out on the transfer paper.

They're both really cute, but I like the 2nd one the best

Great!! Thanks

My 4 1/2 year old and I are voting for the 2nd one!

So cute! Thanks!

I like the 2nd one as well.

Thanks Mary!!

I don't mean to follow the crowd.. but I like the 2nd one too.

Or just do both!

I am surprised I can get this gang to wear them once nevermind twice!!

hmm good point!! As you can see we did go with the second one!! Thanks so much!!

Oh thanks so much!! Its been a struggle but it is coming off! We did have a great Easter and thanks for the compliment on the boys.... although they were NOT too adorable tonight. This is the first day of school vacation and having them both home I now know why a SAHM love when school vacation is over!!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

I really like what you came up with...she did a great job! and I love the boys name!! I had seen the names done with Pluto and fell in love with it...I was kinda thinking of having the names done like that around Christmas and putting them on the little plastic art tables for all the kids I have to buy for w/a matching pillow case!

I like the reason GinnyBear's_Mom gave you on the first picture...that was the reason I did not like the first one...and I just love all the characters in the second one! and the colors...

Ok, so I just finished your last TR & loved it! But I can't read this PTR in one sitting, so I'm signing on & will be back.

We are going in June! Our first trip since 1998. I'm hoping it will be fabulous & become a yearly thing.

I was diagnosed with high blood pressure a few years ago, actually when pg with baby #5, anyway, they said cholesterol was not great, either. On meds for the bp. I'm going to follow your lead & really try to get back on track with the weight loss! I could stand to lose about 60 lbs. It helps that DH is a total fitness & healthy food freak, now. Or maybe that hurts?

 

[Charlefours]

Whew, I thought I had to make a lot of shirts!

Love the designs--all of them!! The name bubbles of boys' names with Pooh and friends are great!

 

[SOUTHERNtinkerBELLE]

Hi Nickie! I'm joining in! I just found your PTR a few days ago and have enjoyed it so much I went back and read all of your previous reports - I love reading about all of your Disney nights!

And congrats on your weight loss - that's awesome! I too am dieting and it's nice to see the success of other's here on the boards. I'm getting married in June of next year, so I've got to slim down for that! Keep up the good work!

Hi Nickie! Your trip to Ogunquit looked like fun! Were you able to stick with your diet? I hope you splurged a little since you were on vacation! I've lost 6 lbs in the last 2 weeks so I think I'm going to keep working at losing 54 more! Stephanie (Charlefours) and I have started stroller walking at a local park. There is a hill that's kicking our butts, but were hoping to get to the point where we can conquer that hill twice a walk!!

Anywho, can't wait to see pics from the Robin Hood Disney night!

 

[my2disneyboys]

Hi Everyone!!! I hope you all had a great week. It was school vacation week and we had a great week with the boys. I took a little vacation myself from the dieting this week... and I am back on track now but didn't weigh in on Friday!! I thought I would write up a little trip report from our weekend in Ogunquit Maine.

Friday we hit the road and it took about an hour and a half to get there. We pulled into beautiful Ogunquit around 7:30 and checked into our hotel. The boys were SO excited!!!! They were running all over the lobby telling me everything they saw, "Mama they have a pool!!!!" "Mama they have a hot pool"!!! They were so cute. We got adjoining rooms so that our friends who were meeting us would be right next door. We quickly threw our stuff in our room and changed into our bathing suits and hit the pool! We had so much fun. Owen fell in love with the jacuzzi "hot pool" and Myles loved jumping back in forth between the big pool and jacuzzi. After pool time, we went back to the room, got cleaned up and ready for bed. We put on a movie for the boys and Wayne and I sat at the little table and had a glass of wine.

We woke up around 7:00 and Wayne went for a run. I got the kids dressed and we walked down to the beach. There was a path from the hotel that took you right down to the beach. We had lot's of fun looking for shells and running away from the huge waves. There were surfers that were fun to watch too. Daddy met us at the beach and we went to this little breakfast place on the water called "Hucklebees" and they made the BEST blueberry pancakes I have ever had!

We headed to town and walked around the shops. The boys spotted things they wanted and agreed to wait a little bit before getting the first thing they saw! I got an ornament that said "Ogunquit 2010". Around 11:00 we started our walk on the famous Marginal Way. It was breathtaking. We would stop and sit on a bench and listen to the waves crash.... and just fell in love with Ogunquit.

We met up with our friends at Jackies II for lunch and the boys got fish and chips! They were having a blast with their friends. After lunch we headed back to the hotel stopping in the candy shop for the biggest lollipops known to man and the kids all stopped in the little toy store and each got a little gift. It was time to eat again and after heading back to the hotel for a quick shower we were on our way to Jonathans. I had read this place was great... but we all left thinking the food was good but we had 4 crazy boys... and the white tablecloths and sax player didnt quite fit our "family feel" that we were going with.

After dinner we went back to the rooms and set the boys up with a movie in one room and we hung out in the other room (adjoining door open - loved having that!!) and we played some drinking games. We got to really catch up and it was lot's of laughs and such a fun night.

Waking up on Sunday around 7 again and the men went for a run and my friend and I took the boys to breakfast and a walk on the beach. The guys met us down after their run. The waves were even bigger and kids climbed on rocks and were all soaked by running in the water and trying to beat the waves!! We checked out of the hotel and stopped for lunch at the Maine Diner which is SO GOOD! We all agreed we should have gone to dinner there. What a great weekend away!!!! We all had so much fun...

Thanks for reading!!!
Nickie

 

[that's nice]

Thanks for the mini report. There is nothing like reconnecting with old friends.. especially on vacation.

You have some great pics! How great for the boys to have friends to play with too.

That water looks mighty cold though.

As you can see in my post I did NOT stick to my diet! I was really good at breakfast and lunch and then I splurged on yummy dinners and dessert and lot's of drinks, chips, cookies I had to get it all in because I knew once I got home it was back to the diet!

You lost 6 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!! That is great!!! I needed to hear that.... I need some motivation and there is nothing like having friends doing this together. I live in a very hilly area and i do this walk around my neighborhood and have been thinking that adding in the hill would be great for me but it is HUGE and I just havent been able to do it yet! I know- we had SUCH A FUN Robin Hood night. I have some good pics that I have to post too!!

 

[leamom2princesses]

Wow Nickie, you are looking great girl! I can really see your weight loss in your vacation pic. Your clothes look way too loose. Looks like a shopping trip may be in your future! I agree with Wendy; everyone needs a break from dieting when on vacation. I haven't been that great with food the last two weeks because the girls have softball practice nearly every evening and it's making it hard to make good food choices. I've actually lost 1.5 lbs so I guess the running around is offsetting the fast food.

Thanks for the mini-trip report. Your boys are as cute as ever!

 

[SOUTHERNtinkerBELLE]

It looks like you had a wonderful weekend away! What a beautiful place!

Thanks Tim! Yes the water was cold! The kids didn't mind though...

Thank you Leanne!!! Oh ha-ha when I just commented on your pre trip I had thought you said on my thread that you were running... you actually said just running around. Do you run? I would love to train for a disney marathon someday! First I have to actually start running

It looks like you had a wonderful weekend away! What a beautiful place!

Thank you- yes it was so pretty... today is rainy and gray skies and yucky... I want to go back....
