An OCD Planners Dream: First Trip, MNSSHP, and Free Dining!! A September PTR

Wow, our schools started on August 13th. But they get out at the end of May, so I guess that's why! The girls are so cute in their "first day" outfits. I wish I were younger so I could get away wearing stuff like that! :laughing: Oh, well!

I can't believe you just have three weeks left. I know you're EXCITED! :dance3:
 
The girls looks absolutely adorable on their first day back to school!!1 Yes, Devon is looking forward to going back actually, he keeps saying the sooner school starts the sooner we go to Disney!! :rotfl2:

You are not the only one whi plans out outfits!! LOL, I did the same thing, if you read my trip report, I have Devon's outfits all picked out!! Yes I am a dork, but like you wanted to make sure I didn't need to pick him up anything before we left!

I am actually nervous about talking to Devon's teacher as well, mainly b/c he is only going to be in school a week and a half before I pull him out for our trip, oh well, I figure since it's so early in the school year, they should just be reviewing. I will say when I took him out of school in December for or trip, the teacher was awesome about, she gave me all his work he would miss and everything. It was funnt, b/c I found out that 2 other kids in his class were going to Disney the same week we were there! Wouldn't you know it, we ran into both families! :rotfl:

Thanks! I am really hoping that their teachers are great about it as well. They are both great students, so I am just encouraging them to be as prepared and on top of their work as possible before we leave! :thumbsup2

It's amazing how fast time is going for you now since the girls started school. Busy Busy

Definitely! Especially since Menley plays 2 sports and her dad helps coach, they have practice every single night this week! :scared1:

I have been looking all over for your trip report, but could not remember the name of it, and thankfully have found it again! I love the designs you are using for your luggage tags, planner, etc. What did you use for the borders of your planning pages in your little binder (the one with Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Goofy, etc on it)? Was it printed on along with the text? And if so, where did you find the graphics for it? I love it!

I leave in 9 days (almost 8)...so excited!

So glad you found me again! :hug: I found those borders online, and I made the pages myself. PM me your email address and I would be glad to send them to you! :goodvibes

the girls look so cute for school! Most of the schools around me don't start until after Labor Day!

Thanks so much! :goodvibes The girls are usually ready by Mid August to go back, so I am glad that we start early. It works out so that we are usually out at the end of May, which is awesome! :) Once Menley is in Middle school, we will probably use that to our advantage and start taking vacations at the end of May so she won't have to miss school. ;)

Trust me, I would LOVE to wear some of the stuff that Menley gets away with! :rotfl: And yes, it is getting so close now! Our countdown Calendar is looking pretty spare! :yay:
 
Hey everyone! :goodvibes I don't have too much time now, but I wanted to say hi! :wave2: I finished the girls shirts last night! I also am headed to the dollar store today to pick up a few things. I will post an update later with pics! The countdown has begun! :dance3:
 
Send good thought my way, everyone! My boss just asked me to fire on of our employees. :headache: She definitely deserves it, but I HATE making other people cry! :sad2:
 

Oh no! Hope all went well with the employee. :( Even if they deserve it, I agree, it's tough to do! I haven't had to do it to anyone yet but I'm dreading the day.

Thanks very much. It went better than I thought it would. I guess she saw it coming! :sad1:
 
I'm sorry you had to fire someone. Totally stinks, even if they deserve it. I'm off for another fun day at work, myself. This week has JUST BEEN BAD! Two days to go.

Yes, your countdown calendar is looking slim! Woo hoo!
 
I forgot to mention the girls pics. So cute. Love the outfits.

I hate firing people. Even when they deserve it. One would think with the economy as it is you would try really hard to keep a job.

I have this picture for you. My daughter Sandi lives in Tennessee and when they moved in their house the previous owners were OU fans so this is still in their house cause they don't want to pay someone to get up there and paint over it. Tim is a Razorback and of course Mike a Longhorn so they have lots of comments over it.

Happy Sunday everyone! I love Sundays. When our lives get really hectic, Sunday is the day that we can all get together and relax as a family. :love: Of course, tonight starts the first night of my husband's new Sunday night softball league...at least we will all be together cheering him on! :cheer2:

I have been doing some Disney shopping this week! :cool1: First off, we made the trek to North OKC to get Maci's boots for her costume. They had a HUGE selection. Since we has a coupon for $100 off boots and all of the children's boots were $60 or less, Maci got to choose any pair of boots that she wanted for FREE! :woohoo: She had a hard time deciding, but after trying on every single boot in the place (and galloping around in them with a stick horse to test their "gallopiness" :lmao:), these are what she ended up with:

The centers of the flowers light up when she stomps them! Then we stopped at the local party/costume store and picked up a holster with white and pink guns and sheriff's badge.

She is so supremely happy with this costume! But with the popping of those guns and the stomping of those boots, God help us all! :rotfl: We also picked up a crown and wand to go with her Sleeping Beauty dress that she is going to wear to our Princess Storybook Breakfast. princess: I found the dress at a garage sale! It is in perfect condition and is from the Disney Store. :banana:

Also, here are the girls shirts that I made:

Maci's full name is Macelyn. She goes back and forth between Maci and Macelyn. :rolleyes:

I made a stop at Dollar Tree Wal Mart and got ponchos, a new toiletries bag, travel size items, a hanging shoe organizer, glow items, a new camera memory stick, etc. I also got some great little Disney cards and puzzles and coloring books at the Dollar Tree. Great for tink gifts! :wizard: I am starting to feel like I am more prepared! ;) Does anyone know where I can get misting fans? :confused3 It seems like the season for those is over!!

19 DAYS AND COUNTING! :dance3:

HI Kristen,
Sorry to bother you again, but do those fonts come in the standard size 8x10 size too? Where did you find the borders online? I looked and looked and can't find borders, just tons of clip art. LOL

I sent you an email too.
THanks!

So glad to see that you came by! I have seen your comments in lots of the TRs I keep up with, including Renfroe! Thanks so much for joining in! :goodvibes

I will check out your PTR now! We booked about 6 months ago, so I definitely know how you feel! Just wait, when March gets here it will seem totally surreal!

Thanks for the nice comments about my girls! :cloud9:

I am a huge couponer too! It has really helped us in saving for Disney. We cut our grocery budget in half! ;)

No bother at all! I just used those clips of the border that I sent to you, and pasted them side by side to make a border. The fonts can just be changed in Word, just like normal text. Hope that helps! :goodvibes
 
Hey Kristen, love, love the shirts!! Too adorable!!! Can you believe how soon our trips are coming up?? We are soo very excited!!! Boots are too awesome!!! Just wanted to give you a heads up though... When we were at MNSSHP party in '07, there was a little boy dressed as Peter Pan, and his outfit had a little foam dagger, and it was confiscated from him when they were entering the park, so you might want to think about leaving the cap guns in the room if you don't want to take the chance of them being taken.

Oh, thanks SO much for telling me this! I hope Maci is not too upset about leaving them behind, but I know she would be even more upset if they took them from her! You saved me! :worship:

No problem!!! I mean things could have changed, but just wanted you to be aware!!! Hope she's not too heartbroken!!!

One of these is in every one of my park info sections. I totally stole this idea from someone and I can't remember who. Thank you, whoever you are, fellow DISer! :hug:

Love your Binder! It's looks really professional :thumbsup2 Your spreadsheet looks a lot like mine from my old PTR but I love how you color codes the TGM days.

I'll be missing you in Disney by just a couple days....I get there on 9/30.
