LOL I thought about you when I booked Damien's playdate on Monday -- they are going to get their own wands and decorate a wand case... now you post that spell and I will be able to tell him atleast one spell! Great introduction and explanation! I'm looking forward to the reveal pics and such-- even though you said it didn't go as planned I am sure that it still looked pretty amazing!

Thank you for asking if I am still sick-- the answer is YES! I am not sure what's wrong the antibiotics didn't help, the doctor said that since I have been getting sick more often these last few months he thinks I may be allergic to Emily... but I don't know I am going to hold off on that test for a little.

We did have a great Christmas! And yes, I have quite a few pictures I think will work in the frame! Thank you so much!

Joining in !

Looking forward to reading about WWoHP since we'll be there in April !

We're not a rope drop family .. we're more of a "get there around noon" type of family. But we manage to get it all done .. somehow !

 

[shocky5]

Royal FAIL for me! I'm joining in on page 3!! I gotta pull it together here...

Love your intro! Can't wait to read all about it!!!

 

[Leger13]

Awesome, thank you! I will have to print some out for the kids to use on Monday!
I hope it's not her too! Although I complain about her all of the time, I love her! She's a god dog and stuff! I think it's something else and that's why I am not going to go get that test done right away!

Glad you are here...I am a morning person and generally my family it too...but we are also early to bed people, but adding in early morning and fireworks do not mix...plus the fact that we never seemed to get back for a rest in the afternoons....

Just glad you are here Amy! It would not be a TR without my fellow OCDs!

Hi Carla...how is that little guy? I am sure he was spoiled at Christmas...I need to get over to your PTR and see your updates!

Introductions...

Okay I will admit my intros are a little long, but hey I love to talk about my family! I promise this weekend my TR will get completely off the ground I will start posting about the actual trip. I am trying to clip videos of the reveal and get pictures downloaded and then uploaded...I took over 3000 pictures and that does not count photo pass!

Me (Tammie)-I am 40 something, after 35 I think I stopped counting and now I have to actually have to stop and figure out how old I am when asked. I work as a curriculum specialist in an elementary school, which means I work with teachers to improve classroom instruction therefore increase student learning. I like to consider myself between a rock (administration) and a hard place (teachers)…I have learned how to straddle the fence in this position, although most times it does not seem successful. My favorite Disney characters would probably be Ariel and Mary Poppins. I grew up watching the Wonderful World of Disney and reruns of the Mickey Mouse Club from the 50s. I love roller coasters…wonder if I will get my family on any of them at USO?

DH (Jeff)-He to is 40 something, but a little more into the 40s then me! This July we will be married for 17 years and met on a blind date set up by a parent of a student my first year teaching. He is a very hard worker, dependable, and a good father. For the last 20 years he has had his own hard wood flooring business, last spring he was even part of the Extreme Home Makeover Show on ABC…the one with the family whose daughter died texting and driving. Jeff hates crowds and would much rather prefer a vacation involve sitting on a lake or river somewhere fishing…especially at our cabin in the mountains. He spends his free time hunting and now that the boys are older they go with him most weekends. His favorite Disney Character is Doc Hudson...if there was a Disney character to describe him this trip it would be Wimpy...you will find out why!

DD (Ab)-She is a somewhat typical teenage girl when it comes to attitudes and moods, you never know from one moment to the next how she is going to be. Ab is my over achiever in school and life, she has to be the best at everything she does and it has to be perfect…what how this plays out in our trip was the trip report progresses. She is a freshman at the Catholic High School in our city, straight A student, a cheerleader (flyer of her squad…the one in the air), runs track (long distance) and plays the violin. Ab’s favorite thing to do is read and shut herself away in her room with her books. Her favorite Disney characters are Rapunzel, Tinkerbell, and Nemo. She loves Harry Potter (read the entire series when she was in 5th grade during Christmas break) and Hunger Games.

DS#1 (Boo)-My middle child…laid back, go with the flow, generally quiet, and funny kid. Boo has 1 gear sometimes, slow which drives me crazy. He is such a smart young man, but being a boy he does only what he needs to do to keep mom and dad off his back. Boo’s interests include cars, shooting/hunting, wrestling, football, reading, singing, fishing, and playing the guitar. He is my performer and has an incredible memory…again what how that plays out in our trip. His favorite Disney characters are Captain Hook, Phineas & Ferb and Jack Sparrow…but ask him his favorite princess he would say Aurora (guess that means he is at the age where he is starting to notice girls). He too loves Harry Potter, and has read the entire series.

DS#2 (Goo)-My little accident later life that has given me all my gray hairs. Goo (short for Goober or peanut) is a kindergartner this year. He is the child that had he been first, he would be an only child. He has the most incredible laugh and usually is in a good mood until he is tired…which lead for some interesting moments on our trip. Goo has two gears, full speed and complete stop…from the moment he wakes up he is on the go. He loves anything cars or with motors and bugging Ab and Boo. He loves Lightning McQueen, and considers himself Lightning’s #1 Fan. We have gone through 3 CARS DVDs out of wear and tear…on one road trip he watched CARS for over 8 hours straight.

Great intro! Awesome Discovery Cove picture!

 

[annmarieda]

What a great intro! I love the family pic and cant wait to hear more about your trip.

 

[shocky5]

Yeah! I love the family picture! You have a beautiful family!

I have to snicker at the similarities in our children... specifically our #3's! Constantly on the go and pestering the older siblings... It has to have something to do with the fact that they were not 'planned' and knowing what a planner you and I both are, I can imagine your shock just as my own when discovering I was pregnant with #3.

Hope you are having a great weekend! Stay warm!!

Hi Carla...how is that little guy? I am sure he was spoiled at Christmas...I need to get over to your PTR and see your updates!

Hi Tammie! He is doing great! Oh yes he certainly was. My living room looks like toys r us exploded in it. There are definitely pictures to see on my PTR. Only 3 weeks for us till our trip!

Great intro of your family! Your Ab sounds just like my oldest niece. She's an over achiever too and such a great young lady. Can't wait to read the first trip update. No pressure of course

 

[sl_underwood]

Your teen sounds a whole lot like mine, cant wait to read all about yout trip!
