Thanks! Very exciting!

I think I'm going to do some packing today, probably just some of my clothes (capris and short sleeve shirts - stuff I know I won't wear over the next week). I've been debating whether or not to pack shorts in addition to pants for the boys. I guess I'll keep an eye on the weather forecast and decide next week.

I am such a LATE packer...usually the night before the trip...but I actually already started! I was thinking I would actually wait until the day of our trip this time because we leave at around 3. But, I was good and already packed the littlest one's shorts and short sleeve shirts. I think I will do some more this weekend.

 

[Leger13]

I've been thinking about packing too but it's so hard for me this time since I'm packing for two trips. Ugh! I think I may go crazy before the vacation even gets here just trying to successfully pack!!

10 days to go!



I got most of my clothes packed. Still need to pack my jean, but I won't do that until the night before we leave. I might start either the boys' or DH's suitcase today.

I checked us in online this morning. WooHoo! It was so quick and easy! I highly recommend it!

I usually wait until the day/night before also, but I'm afraid I might forget something. That's why I've already started. I really need to write a packing checklist. I guess it's a good thing we're driving. In case, we actually forget something. We can just run to a store and get it.

I think I'd go crazy, too, trying to pack for 2 trips.

Tomorrow you will be in the single digits!!! That is awesome! I think I will tackle quite a bit of our packing this weekend. There are some things I just can't do now. We are up north and need our pants and long sleeve shirts.

9 days to go!



I pack BlueEyes's shorts and short-sleeve shirts yesterday with his help. I had to try his summer clothes on him to see what still fit, and he was very cooperative thankfully.

Ahhhh! The single digit dance! I can't wait until Monday so I can dance that dance with you!!! I let the kids pack their own backpacks....sometimes interesting!! I of course check it before heading out to the airport!!

LOL! Liam's already packed his backpack. I just checked it - Cars puzzle, V-tech camera, Uno cards, a Transformer, Iron Man glasses, and View Master. Out of those, I think only the camera will actually go with us.

single digits. I'll be doing that dance myself on Tuesday!

8 days to go!



We'll actually leave here next Saturday. It's about a 4-hour drive from here to DH's grandparents. Then next Sunday we'll drive from there to Disney, which is about an 8-hour drive.

So the only thing I got done yesterday was washing by hand all the disposable sippy cups. Speaking of the sippy cups, I ordered 4 6-packs from Drugstore .com (got a good deal on them) and wasn't given a choice of which colors I wanted. So I received 2 packs with blue, green, and orange, and 2 packs with purple, yellow, and PINK. We'll be using the pink ones in the car where no one else can see our 14-month-old boy with a pink cup.

7 days to go!



I packed DH's shorts and short sleeve shirts yesterday with some "help" from BlueEyes (see picture below).

Before I forget, BlueEyes is 14 months old today.

 

[Leger13]

Love the picture of blue eyes helping you pack. Happy 14 month bday!!

6 days to go!



Exactly 1 week from this moment, we'll be at AK for Morning EMH.

I packed Liam's shorts and t-shirts yesterday. Clothing-wise, all that's left to pack is our pants/jeans, long-sleeve shirts, pjs, socks, and undergarments.

I also vacuumed the interior of the CR-V yesterday. I still to wipe down the interior with the vinyl/leather stuff.

Love the picture of blue eyes helping you pack. Happy 14 month bday!!

Thanks!

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Oh my goodness!!! 6 days!!! That is less than a week!!! Almost all packed...car cleaned up...you are about ready to just be there!!!

5 days to go!



Got bad news yesterday. GoodyPak had to cancel my order and refund my money because their computer/server crashed, and they didn't think it would be back up and running in time to ship my order to the AKL. On the up side, they did give a $10 credit towards a future order. I don't know what I'm going to do now, though. I really don't have time this week to go out and put something together myself.

More bad news... both BobbleHead and BlueEyes have colds. Ugh! I hope they're better by this weekend, and DH and I don't get sick!

 

[Leger13]

Yay for 5 more days but boooo at GoodyPak and that the kids are sick. I hope they are feeling better by the time you leave for WDW and that you and your DH don't catch it. Take lots of vitamins and maybe even drink some Airborne.

4 days to go!



I transferred stuff from our diaper bags to our park bags. I decided to leave the diaper bag at home because I'd be very upset if it was lost or stolen at Disney. It took me months to find the bag in that specific print.

I finished cleaning the interior of the CRV.

No trip prep planned for today. I need to get the house ready for tomorrow plus assemble 3 casseroles so that they're ready to go into the oven first thing tomorrow morning.

Thanks. I think I'll be fine because I do take vitamins daily. DH, on the other hand, doesn't. We've been limiting he's contact with the boys.

 

[Leger13]

Good idea keeping DH away from the boys. Fingers crossed that he doesn't get sick. Hope you and the family have a great Thanksgiving. I'm headed up to PA tomorrow.
