I would lose things in all those zippers, though!
Not really-2 of the zippers are on the attached daypack so the big bag has one large compartment-that has a large meshed pocket on the "front" and small pockets on the inside. Then it has a large pocket on the front that I ususally stick my jacket into before I check the bag. I use the Eagle Creek pack it folders for my clothes and pack the kids clothes in zip lock bags by outfit.
 
Thanks Denise. How exciting for you all!!!!! Good things come to those who wait. Have a blast.

Pixiedust from :tink: that all goes well and you leave in 4 days!


you ARE going this weekend....how exciting!!:dance3:

Sounds perfect!!!!!!
Thanks, everyone!

That sounds like a solid shirt itinerary :thumbsup2 You are going to have so much fun. Were you able to find a rental chair for Rees? Does your hospital have one that you could borrow?
We rented a Macleran Major stroller from a local company in Orlando. They should be delivering it on Friday.

Morning all! Im off to work

but first, last night we all sat down and decided on our excursions...
I wll be going atv riding/ziplining, dogsledding, and whale watching

..another 32 days to go!

Have a great day!
How much fun! I have 7 more days of my class (2 a week for 5 weeks, but I'll be at Disney for one!)

The rooms are definitely my downfall. I blow through money so quickly, that I just HAVE to keep playing to get more cash, so I can get "one more thing". My biggest mistake, I think, was needing several rooms to start. I couldn't fathom having a bathtub in the bedroom (seriously, I need something more productive to take on before my brain melts! :eek:), so I immediately spent almost all of my money buying a kitchen, bathroom, yard, game/play room, and of course have their bedrooms that came with them. So I can't afford any stuff to put in it, especially since I also "had" to have walls and floors to start! Each room has, like, one necessary item. It's the stupidest looking thing I've ever seen. So of course, the cycle continues.....


:teeth:





:rotfl:



I had no idea.... When Amy suggested it, I thought it was sort of like Nintendogs (or Tomagotchis!), where I would just adopt a pet, play with it and feed it once, find it totally boring, and kill it off -- then feel guilty. I was a bit off! :rolleyes:


Denise -- I am beyond excited for your trip! You all are going to have a marvelous time, and look wonderful too! :teeth:
Thanks, and Webkinz is so addictive! I got the kids a Shining Star, and the games were just awful. :sad2:

Hi Jen....

Alex loves Webkinz! He actually has a pretty cool room set up. He said that he is setting up his room how he wants his college room set up. I'm not sure about that but at least at the age of 10 he is already talking about college.

Lynn
Hi, Lynn!

Bernadette I was just checking the weather for the start of our trip & wow it looks to be warm! I will be packing shorts only for this trip & plenty of sunscreen :thumbsup2
I just checked and it looks great! I'm going to pack sunscreen as it's saying highs in the upper 80's and lows in the mid 60's! :goodvibes

Have fun Denise and the Figs!
Thanks, Chanon!

We had a VERY strange weekend. It started Thurs when I found out I printed the wrong judges page for the talent comp program book. :scared1: So I busted my back side and printed another. Then Friday was run around day and make sure everything was ready for Saturday. :upsidedow
Sat came and it was wild and crazy, Cassie helped me sell raffle tickets and cruise tickets as well as some program books.

I got Ellie ready and set up for her performances (she did fabulous) I hope to get them up on her site by next week.

Then it was out to sell tickets and program. We sold $320 in program books and raffle tickets. I am happy but a bit sad as well. I had printed over 200 program books and we only sold about 50 of them. The gal who did them last year said she sold out and they were only a few pages and ALL black and white, mine had color and pics from last year as well. Oh well some money is better than no money.

Then the talent scout who came up from Holywood asked Cassie if she like modeling and stuff. She invited Cassie to IPAC as well. :woohoo: After talking to the singing teacher who is taking us to Hollywood, we might have found a way to get Cassie down there (not as a performer) but in and around the ageants etc. We don't have enough $$ to send her as a perormer, we still have not gotten enough for Ellie, but we will make sure she goes.
Carole (the singing teacher who runs the pageants in town) told us Cassie could enter the next pageant for free to get her feet wet. :eek: That is a $325 savings. Things are looking up for that kid. Oh and she and I have talked about her crap and we figured it was just a very bad day for both of us and we took it out on eachother, so all is well.

THEN Sunday Ellie sang at my Wing Commanders call (big deal, she commands the largest reserve wing the the US) and they loved her. I cried.

My house is trashed because I have done nothing to keep it up in 5 days, but I am spent so part of me doesn't care.

I do hope all is well with the DDA, if anyone has a minute to give me some cliff notes, that would be fabulous.

Enjoy your morning all.
Congrats to Ellie! Sounds wonderful!
I think that was a great update Theresa! :goodvibes

And thank you all for your compliments. I was just wearing a flattering shirt and I had a 4-year-old blocking me. Believe me, I've gained 25 pounds...I'm definitely big and pregnant! :blush:

Prayers and :wizard: for Julie please. Her c-section is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. She was so nervous when I talked to her, but I know everything is going to be just fine and Jack is going to be here in less than an hour! :yay:
Good luck to Julie! Keep us posted.

Well, nifty!

DS is being inducted into the National Jr. Honor Society next Tuesday! :)
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
 

We park the car offsite, then the shuttle drops us at curbside baggage check-in. ME takes the bags to the resort, bell services takes them back to resort airline check-in, then once we get home we get a luggage cart to take the bags back to the shuttle (or we could get a skycap to take them out to the curb if DH wasn't with us). But I have never tried to travel with a stroller, so that logistic is foreign to me.

Dorinda is just dropping us off at the airport. That will be a LOT cheaper (and easier) than driving myself. Emma will be the youngest child I've traveled with alone. Lizzy was 6 1/2 when I took her 2 nights before everyone else. I had all the luggage (I think 2 checked bags) and a stroller on that trip-not for Lizzy but for Joe when he came later. Gene had a carryon for himself, Emma & Joe had a backpack and he had a stroller AND he had Dorinda. I had a towncar meet them at the airport.

I know I can do it but I'm usually more packed by now.:rotfl:

:cool1: 3 DAYS!!! :cool1:
Friday night we'll be watching Wishes from our MK View Room at the Contemporary!

After 2 cancelled trips, I'm so excited!
 
Time to go home. I think I'll stop at 2 or 3 different Marshalls on the way.

Maybe I'll try packing or doing some more sewing tonight.
 
Congratulations to DS, Elizabeth!

Still no word from Julie and Dave. I'm pretty sure she had c-sections for Carli and Kyle. I think a lot of her nerves had to do with delivering a healthy baby (they had no advanced warning of Kyle's blindness until birth). I'll keep you posted as soon as I hear something.

I think I'm going to have to buy my own Webkinz. Alyssa has picked out some awful decor! :rotfl:

Which reminds me, this weekend is the Webkinz Extravaganza and many retailers (our local Hallmark for example) are offering a "spend $10, get a free Webkinz" deal.

A couple of years ago Sister's preschool teacher had the CUTEST Easy Spirit sneakers. She got them at Marshall's. I HAD to have a pair. I drove ALL OVER looking for those stupid shoes in my size and never did find them! :rotfl2: Several months later I ran across them somewhere - it might have been Ross, or maybe it was Marshall's. I bought them and they are so HOT! I have finally been wearing them over the past few months, but there is no way I could take them to WDW. :sad2:
 
Could I please ask for a design request from one of our disigners? :flower3:

Cassidy and Abi's birthday are 3 weeks from tomorrow and I want to do special shirts for them...but I am not a big fan of the "treat me like a princess" designs.

Cassidy will be 16 and I would love to have tink in purple....but past that I am clueless.

Abi will be 12 (where oh where does time go:confused3 :sad1: )and I am even more clueless here.


I guess I could go looking through more of the disigns but nothing strikes my fancy...I am sorry I am being so particular.


Thanks!!

Thanks, Amy!

I hope everything is going well for Julie! How old are her other kids? I don't think she has been posting here since I joined the DDA, so I don't really know anything about her.

I'm sorry, Elizabeth! I tend to forget that you joined in this talkative group later. :blush:

Julie was never an avid poster, but she kept up for a little while. We were actually friends first, before we had the thread in common; her husband is a bailiff in the same courthouse where Kevin is a prosecutor. Kevin and Dave became buddies, having an obsession with Disney in common. Julie and I became fast friends, and we have a tradition of spending every New Years' Eve together. Their oldest son, Kyle, will be 10 in July and Carli just turned 8. Kyle is 100% blind. Both kids are over the moon that they have a new sibling. :goodvibes

Which brings me to the happy news...

Jack (I don't know his middle name yet) is here! I missed Julie's call, since we were at Kroger, but she said everything went great. He weighs 6 lbs, 13 ounces and he's 19 1/4 inches long. Not bad for a month early! :cloud9:

Yeah for Jack! Pixiedust from :tink: that he continues to thrive! A month early really isn't anything in this day & age.
