Okay, I am 10 pages behind. Running back to get caught up and will be back with comments.
ok. . .I am back with comments.
You definitely have to be a stealth circular filer. I have been busted many times by Miss Jordan throwing things away. I have had to nicely explain to her that Mommy has a large binder and is working on a second one filled with art and important papers and that I can't possible keep everything she every made, wrote, colored, etc. because we would need a separate house to hold it all! I too hate happy meal toys and birthday grab bag gifts toys and throw them out as soon as I can. We do goodie bags at her parties since everyone else does but I put in perishables (candy necklaces, lollipops, etc.) or things that are semi-useful like character pens, notebooks, etc.
The key to stealth "filing" is to take the trash out regularly. Luckily, we burn our trash every time it goes out (or the dogs spread it all over the place), so the evidence is neatly reduced to ashes. The downside is that my son is the main trash taker-outer. That's resulted in some nasty misfires of said stuff.
Love some of the pressed penny ideas! Ours are in those little books you can buy there.
My 3 ideas for that now are The Villians, SW and her little guys, and the rest of WS. I won't bust my butt to get them, but whatever I come across will be fun to get!
I am enjoying the shopping around WS segments. That is an ambitious goal but I think you can do it! My mom bought a cloth glasses case in China that I don't think was very expensive so that may be an idea for there.
I hadn't thought of a glasses case for the China one. They make some lovely silk things and I could certainly use that everyday!!!
Love PH's kilt! I would be happy to create an ensemble for PH to wear to WDW. Just let us know if any specific themes are taken so we don't repeat.
(I posted on Mary's thread too but am so glad she is okay and her arm is not broken.)
I don't have ANYTHING planned or lined up for Animal Kingdom. Something leopard skinned?? Zebra striped? or with horns??
I am back!!
Don't ask, don't tell
Mr. Potato head is happy! How funny is that!!
Double chin?!? Whatever!
Now...if I have to start calling you Grandma?
look at you and your pressed pennies! For some reason I have never had any desire to collect those?? Not sure why. I always enjoyed putting pennies (not enough to derail any trains) on train tracks and collecting the flattened ones. And these have pictures on them!
Look at you and all of your knick knacks!
I know I owe you guys a description of Soldier #2.......So I am working on that!!
Glad you are back!!!! So nice of you to join us on YOUR thread!!!
TOP is one happy guy. He is sitting here with me right now on my window sill, and in fact, is very grateful for his warm kilt!!! There is ice on the inside of my windows still!!!!
If there was ONE lift-it job I could get, it'd be this blasted double chin. YOu know, I"m not overweight (at all- I still wear a size 4!), but I unfortunately inherited the "double chin gene" from my mother. Ah well, trips to Disney are more important than looking even remotely perfect.
We'll do Pressed Pennied together. They are fun- especially if the machine is a handcrank one.
"With a knick-knack paddy whack, give a dog a bone..."
It is hard for me to believe that it has been almost a year since I introduced myself as SOLDIER #2 on the first pre-trip report thread!
I am amazed that in May of last year I wrote that I didn't really "know" Liesa! We have now met in real life and talk on the phone or via Skype every day or so. She has truly become a dear friend. 
I am getting excited about our trip! If we could just figure out WHEN we are going! 
Isn't that amazing!!!!?? A year ago!!
I don't know what I would have done without this thread and ALL OF YOU to keep me company over the long months that we've spent together!!!
It is true. Mary is like a sister (well, maybe even better, I don't fight with mary
) and is just the perfect person to share a vacay at WDW with. (and I promise I won't have a hissy and sleep on the floor
)
Me too, and we are getting closer to deciding- not quite there yet, but closer.
Or maybe you have not seen me around
that is ok, too. 
I really don't want to spend a long, long time browsing around, thinking on these choices, but the challenge of finding something for under $5must be met.
