I did not take this picture and I honestly don't remember where I got it from. It may have been one of the "do you have a picture of..." threads
I started packing yesterday!!! I actually did all of the kids packing!! I never realized how much easier packing for a shorter trip would be!!
Packing for March when DH and I went alone was easy. But I guess I just assumed packing for all 5 of us is just time consuming and dread doing it! I'm always very organized leading up to packing. Pulling things out and wrapping my head around who will wear what when but the actual packing is just not all that fun.
I used to start packing weeks in advance, I'm talking 6 or so. But then I have suitcases on the floor in my bedroom and I find myself going back through because I need to reassure myself that I have everything!
The boxes to ship are also ready! Yes boxes, plural
I decided to ship the costumes. They're so big and bulky and take up soooo much room in the suitcase!! So, I have a box with the stuff for the owners locker and a box for the costumes!
I just have to take them to UPS later this week! I've read mailing to WDW isn't the best thing to do because sometimes stuff from the postal service ends up in a central mail room at WDW and I may end up not getting my package. But UPSing or FedExing to the exact address of the resort will mean the packages will be waiting for me! I have to call SSR to get the exact address and find out what I should put on the label.
Now I'm thinking about groceries for the room. We don't need much. But, we'll likely have breakfast in the room at least once, maybe twice. I was going to order from the SSR grocery list on the DVC site but their stuff is limited. I'm thinking about ordering from garden grocer but like I said we don'r need much. I could skip ordering altogether and pick stuff up at the shop at SSR when we get there or we could skip eating breakfast in the room and eat at Artist Palette.
I think I might want to make an actual breakfast though. Pancakes, etc. Just because I can
Still not sure what I'm going to do!!!! Help, anyone, please?!
I've sent an email off to DD's teacher letting her know about the trip and asking for work.
I haven't informed DS's teacher yet. I'm kinda scared after he's been out for a week
LOL!! DH thinks it's funny that I'm scared of the teacher. But, I'm not really scared of the teacher so much as feeling guilty for taking him out of school right after he was out for a week. DS really needs this trip though. He had such a rough summer after I had my surgery in May. He was soooo scared that something was going to happen to me.
He wouldn't leave my side the whole summer!! He's finally getting back to his normal happy self again!! A little magic will do him loads of good 
I'm off now with the little one to run some errands!! I have to buy a new laptop battery
The one in my laptop now runs out of power after about 30 minutes if it isn't plugged in 
I want to take my laptop with us so the kiddos can watch a DVD on the plane and so maybe I can do a live update or 2 while we're gone!!! 
I say buy what you need down there. It's a short trip. 
I have to go to his class this morning for a field trip so I guess I'll find out later if the teacher is up in arms about us taking him out. Your right though, what are you going to do?! It's only 3 days.
That's stasrtingto stress me a tiny bit. I hope I'll have time today after the field trip and housework 
Cause it's the single digit dance baby!! Oh ya!!!
8 days! You can almost count on one hand!!
