I am very giddy. But right now I would say I am very exhausted...Was a long week at work. Had 2 new employees start this week and had to show them the ropes...It is what i get for being the senior social worker and team leader. I love getting new people but at the same time I get exhausted from trying to do my job and show them how to do theirs...KWIM...

So we are now to the 10 day count!!!! I have gotten all the laundry done for the summer clothing so i have started to pack for the kiddo's. I got a few new pairs of capris for me to wear....(I love capri's and the person that came up with the idea!!) Now I just have to pick out a few shirts to wear....

My DD and I made up some envies for the Mousekeepers...Thanks to AshleyMWC for the great idea....We decided to get plain envies and some Disney Character stickers and this is what we came up with:

I am a little sad because we decided not do any character meals this trip, so I had to look in the photo albums to remind myself of what we will be missing. ..Thought I would share a few pics of my DS at his first Character Meal at Crystal Palace:

These were back in Jan of 2002:

And here are a couple Halloween pics from the past. First is Halloween 2001, this is one of those pics will have to get out for future girlfriends...

And these were just last year....My kids have always dressed as Disney Characters.

I know I like to see others pics so since it is almost Halloween thought I would share....I really find it interstering that this year, the year we are attending MNSSHP, none of us are dressing as Disney Charaters... We must be a little backwards...

So did we!! She made the perfect little tinkerbell....and she loved it!! She is a girly girl. and welcome!!!!! Glad you could make it over!!

Your Mousekeeping envelopes turned out great- much better than when I made my own with stickers last year. I also love your matching shirts!! And what a great idea about having them heat sealed- much more durable I am sure. I considered matching shirts for us for one day, but I decided against it. My mom and I had marching ones at MNSSHP last year and they were a big hit- everyone will LOVE yours! Well, I am off to bed, but I wanted to stop over to your PTR and say hello. Only a few more days for both of us

YAY!!
Everything is coming along GREAT!! Only a few more days for both of us!!!! I can taste the turkey legs already! hahaha!

loved your envelopes! So cute! That is such an appreciative thing to do! Wow!!! I love that idea!! I will have to make some of my own, too!!

I am so ready to be there. My Dh does not "do" matching shirts...So I guess it will always be the rest of us and him the odd one out. I thought they would be fun for Halloween day/night since we are doing MNSSHP on the 30th and dressing up. I still gives the kiddos the sense of dressing up on actual halloween.

Thank You!! They were supper easy....Just went to our local craft store and picked up some of the scrapbooking stickers and whalaa....I think it took all of 30 mins to put them together...and that was with the help of little hands as well....She had to make sure we were putting just the right stickers on each envie!!!

Hey all.....8 days and counting.....

Haven't done a lot the last 2 days as I was hit with a nasty case of stomach flu... I am just glad it was this week and not next....Now if I can just keep the kids from getting it....Hoping that if they do it will be in the next day or two so we are all well when we go....Hopefully I will have a better update by this weekend...But now I am behind 2 days of paperwork at work that I have to get caught up on before we leave...Plus Saturday morning I have travel to another town to recert my CPR licence.....It is always something....

 

[julezdisney]

Yay for 8 days!!

 

[eeyoresnr]

Thanks!!!....I am feeling better tonight but still not eating anything...

Yeah!!!!! 4 days to go and I have everything done but the final packing. We went today and I did some shopping. Found some great t-shirt at Wal-Mart for 7 bucks and picked me up a few. Also went to Sears and ended up getting 4 more pairs of capris for $20. Also got all my little stuff like shampoo and such and got it packed away. We also picked up a few things to do on the plane.....So we are set and I am doing the happy happy happy dance.....
Will have some pics hopefully tomorrow.....

 

[julezdisney]

4 days! Wow!

 

[eeyoresnr]

4 days!!! wow! I'm excited for you! Can't wait to hear about your trip when you get back... If i don't get back here before you leave, Have a GREAT trip!!!

 

[izzyzoeybear]

Hours!!! yeah....I cannot beleive we are down to hours.... The bags are packed for the plane, have the overnight bag packed for Indy, Finishing up all my paperwork for work tonight and then I only have one client to see in the morning before I am able to complete everything and off. My goal is to have my DS picked up at school at 1 and then pick up DD and on the road by 2....I am so hoping I can make it!! Wanting to miss as much rush hour traffic in Indy as possible....We have a little something for DD when we get to my parents house...She will be able to watch the new Tinkerbell movie...Hoping this will get her in the mood as well as calm her down to sleep.....I think it will be harder for me to sleep then the kids....

Also for all you that like to see pics...I got a new SD card that should hold about 800 pics and I plan on filling it!!!!

Well I am off to do my last min things and hopefully if DH gets off his butt I will have a few last pics to put on here in a few....
