AKL Bound...See you next Saturday!!!

[bertegirl]

I am going to search for some photos to show my hubbie. I don't think he really understands they are right out your balcony.

Any thoughts on Sanaa...I made an ADR, but no nothing about it. Just that we don't have to take a bus there!!!

I need to get some sleep while Austin is. I may be taking a non paid day tomorrow as my vacation is all gone this year. Yikes!

 

[bertegirl]

So I am home with the kiddos. Jenny is watching Jon and Kate Plus 8, Austin is getting some much needed sleep (temp still 103) and I decided to make some of those flour past shirts. We shall see how they turn out. I will take photos in stages. Anyone else home today? I can't believe our 100 day calendar is almost half done! Wow!

I know...I know...I should be packing!

Did you find some pictures to show DH? I have some that I took last year but allears.net has an awesome slide show of all of the resorts that you can peruse. I have never tried Sanaa and don't know anyone else who has either so I am absolutely no help at all. My girls 7 and 2 at the time of last years trip loved exploring this resort.

On a final note, Austin's postcard went into the mail yesterday. I finally was able to get in touch with my Bro and get it sent out. Hopefully you will get it before you move.

I just got home from my girls night. We cut our night short. One of my good friends got a call that her little cousin was in a serious car accident in Texas. She has very bad head injuries. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I know the family can use it. My friend lost her brother in a car accident a few years ago, so the family has been stricken with bad luck and auto accidents!

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's cousin. She will definitely be in my prayers.

I hope everything will be ok with your friend's cousin.

As for AKL, you guys are going to have so much fun. I'd like to stay there one day. It's a little difficult for our family of 6 though.

It has been a long weekend. To begin Alison did not survive. They said there was no blood flow to her brain. Angie's brother was killed his soph. year of college when he was coming home for Christmas break. Alison was in her soph. year of college this year, too! Wow! It is going to be a trying time for their family.

Saturday we took Austin into the hospital. He had been up all night screaming. So I got no sleep. Ugh! He had a ruptured ear drum. No wonder he had a fever. I felt so bad thinking it was just the virus Jenny had. So we have steroids, antibotics and ear drops. Today he is a different little man.

On some light notes. My shorts arrived from Gap and they were too big, so I had to call and get a smaller size sent.

Then my big excitement...drum roll please. I called to get a Playhouse Disney lunch and they had an opening an Ohana!!! So bye bye Kona and hello Ohana! That was my number 1 choice.

I also gave Jenny some of the t-shirts I made. I went to pack her bag (so it doesn't get lost in the move) and apparently she has too many tops! She picked all the faves to bring, though!

 

[wlwilliams9]

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear Alison didn't make it. I will be thinking about your friend and her family in these trying days to come. So sad

Poor Austin, I hope he is feeling much better. It stinks when they are too little to tell you where they're hurting.

On to the good stuff...yay for the shorts being too big! It's always better to need a smaller size!! Yippie for the ADR's you wanted! What day are you eating at Ohana? We have a b-fast ADR for the 16th, yummy!!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

So sorry to hear about your friends tragedy.

 

[ladybugmom]

Oh my!! That's so very sad.

YAY about smaller shorts and O'hana!!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Oh my!! That's so very sad.

YAY about smaller shorts and O'hana!!

I agee with ladybugmom, that is devastating news for the family! I'm soo sorry!

But smaller shorts is a yay! and is O'hana breakfast or dinner?

 

[3princesses+aprince]

Aww, so sorry about Alison, that is terrible, her family must be devastated.


Poor little Austin, I hope he's better soon!
Good news for you on your ADRs though

 

[wlwilliams9]

How's the packing going? I've already told Mike that the next time we move, I'm hiring the moving company to come and pack our stuff and move it, I don't care what it costs!! I hate packing, I'd rather just supervise someone else!

How's Austin feeling today? I hope the little guys is feeling better!

 

[bertegirl]

Ohana is at night. I think the 16th. Jenny was in love with the idea of coconut races. We moved Spoodles to the 14th. The CM told me Spoodles is closing in Sept. and re-opening as something else.

Austin is a hundred percent better at least in mood. He has a recheck on Friday to make sure the ear drum is repairing itself.

I need to grab something to eat quick and watch the final Jon and Kate Plus 8.

 

[3princesses+aprince]

So glad to hear that Austin is doing better. Those darn ear infections. My youngest Sam had a ruptured ear drum back in November. All was well, and i'm sure it will be for little Austin too.

 

[lilyfrog73]

I'm glad Austin is feeling better and hope is appt. is good. I totally understand the waiting game on things like this!!!

[wigdoutdismom]

Just a thought.......I'm wondering how late you are planning on sleeping in before heading to EPCOT? Getting on Soarin before noon usually means rope drop fast passes.
