Aw! I bet you will miss them like crazy. I hope they all have a great time though!

I will. It's very quiet and lonely when I am in the house all by myself. *pout* I know they will all have fun. I just have to keep myself busy.

yeah for double digits

YAY!!! Thanks!

SO we're STILL watching YouTube videos almost daily. lol And recently my daughter has decided her favourites are "kids getting surprised". Her opinion now is that I should have surprised them instead of telling them about the trip. lol Anyways, I decided to say to her "Don't you worry. I have some surprises up my sleeve anyways. How do YOU know I don't have a surprise for you when we get there?" Then she was like "OH MY GOODNESS!!!!"

I've shown them the resort and the rooms all the while making sure I NEVER show them anything about the Royal Rooms. So that will be a nice surprise for them! Ava mostly cause I don't think the boys will care too much but I still think the room is awesome and ROYAL not girly.

I can't wait!! We're in the 80's now!!!

The kids all leave me this weekend!! The two little ones are going to be picked up by there dad on Friday and they are going to Alberta for just over 4 weeks. And my oldest is going to BC for 3 weeks for Army Cadet camp! It's gonna be way too quiet at my house!

They will LOVE the Royal Rooms!! How fun!

Oh my goodness, Heather. I can't believe how long they are going to be away. It is going to be WAY to quiet for sure. Do you have anything special planned for yourself during that time? It might help...of course there is always the dis and our facebook group. Just be careful you don't start making any changes to your itinerary out of boredom. You have a great vacation planned already!

double post..oops!

I think so too. They look adorable!! I'm gonna go to the room before them (leave them with my parents) and put some surprises in their. Just not sure what yet! lol

It's nice for only 2 days then it's just quiet and lonely. Well I'm just working and I am gonna paint and decorate the house. Horrible as it is I am a photographer and have NO pictures on my walls. And never have. We've had our house for almost 9 years! It's ridiculous!

lol I won't touch my itinerary. I think I like it just the way it is. I will be on DIS and the facebook group. Maybe I'll pick up drinking. lol Kidding!

I HAVE free dining! There was a Canadian offer this past fall and you had to book by the end of August. It ended on Sept 29th but since someone told me that I changed my first day from Sept 30 to 29th and they extended the free dining for the entire 12 days we are there!

[HeatherLassell]

So I'm home alone. lol I kinda feel like running around the house screaming cause it's so quiet!

 

[HeatherLassell]

Awesome!

Thanks! I have the awesome DISer who told me about the free dining to thank for that!

Sweeeeeet!

It was just so exciting to get an NHL team back. We "lost" the Winnipeg Jets when I was like 16 or 17 and got them back when I was 32! I didn't miss ONE game! It was awesome!

 

[HeatherLassell]

Quick update since I'm at work...so no pictures for now.

The kids call me everyday which is nice. Their days consist of eating and being in the pool. lol But I guess they are having fun. My oldest finally called me after being at cadet camp for a week. He is also having a good time.

I got the living room painted and bought new curtains (first time in almost 9 years!) and hung up some art I found. I need to put up pictures still but it looks SOOOO nice in there!

I'll update more later. I've found more things for our trip and bought a bathing suit! *yay*

 

[HeatherLassell]

Here is what I did this weekend on my 2 days off from work!

BEFORE

AFTER

That was a HUGE room to paint! And I did it all by myself except for the top "cutting in" part which my dad came over to do for me!

My mom went to Walmart with me and we found the awesome curtains! I'm really happy with the room. Now I need to put up pictures!

Sounds like a good time to me - I should trade places with them

You're a braver woman than I am, bathing suit shopping makes me
