Oh my gosh.. I'm sorry to laugh.... but...


Thanks for posting the picture along with the story... that was funny!!

I'm sorry you had to spend more money on new crocs... but..


Ok, I'm done!

Glad you guys had a wonderful time in Indy... Tim's brother looks so much like him... crazy! I STILL haven't seen Wicked and it's right here in my backyard... shameful, I know. At the end of the month, Matt and I are driving up to Chicago to see Mary Poppins. UBER excited about that one.

Thanks again for the laugh this morning Have a great day!

I love lists!!!

I'm a list maker too. I just love crossing things off.

I'm so sorry about your crocs. We have a Golden too and he really loves my shoes. I think it's because I'm the one who walks him. He brings them to me at night and when I'm not home he chews them, punishment I think. Our Golden is named Max, the most original dog name.

 

[tmkinney]

Wow! You are seriously organized! Don't you wish we had that much organization in our everyday lives?! Sorry about the crocs - !! I noticed on your list the stroller with bandana - I may have missed this already but are you not renting a stroller this year? for 16 days!!!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

Tim and his brother look a ton alike, don't they? I'm so sorry about your Crocs. My doggy has done similar naughty things. What Crocs are your favorites? I think I might pick up a pair this year but need something still stylish of course.

 

[stacikristine]

Thanks so much for putting your packing list on here! I've been asking for different people's... Yours is so detailed! So sorry about your Crocs...big bummer. I'm glad you like Wicked though! I've never been, but everyone says it's amazing. Oh--and CONGRATS on finishing your last day at school!!!

 

[kaysmommie]

Oh no I can't believe Mickey ate your crocs ! maybe he missed you . I guess if you don't find any at the stores then you can always get Mickey athens when you get to Disney. Hope you were able to find a new pair of cleo's though. I use the same packing list.

 

[troobabiee7]

Hey Leslie! I jut got all caught up and I love how organized you are! I haven't really been thinking about my own trip all that much, but reading about your got me psyched about getting back into planning Congrats on being done with school for the summer! I hope you all have a lot of fun these next few weeks leading up to the trip, and then even more fun in Disney. It's almost here!!

 

[Eventer98]

Don't worry Lesley! When my dog was a puppy, and before DH and I were married, he chewed my husbands ENTIRE couch up, favorite sneakers and fav baseball hat. We crated him after that!!! I think he chewed until he was 2 yrs old. Funny how he never really chewed up anything of mine

 

[LISAMWDW]

Great lists! I heart lists too! I couldn't live without them. You reminded me of a few things for our trip out west in August! Thanks!

Sorry about your Crocs! Our puppy, now 1 1/2, chewed my fave flip flops last year. We gotta see pics of your new Crocs!

Please!

 

[CRSNDSNY]

You soooooooo need an Owner's Locker.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

You soooooooo need an Owner's Locker.

I soooooo agree! We love our purple locker!

I'll bet Mickey enjoyed chewing your crocs.........Hope you find some new ones that you love!

 

[dddisrunner]

Sorry!!! But that visual is HILARIOUS!!!! You are right, what an expensive chew toy!

Love the packing list!!! You inspired me to post ours too!!

So yesterday was my FINAL day to get up early and go to school. It was a teacher work day so I just had to go in a few hours. Tim and the kids picked me up and we headed to Indianapolis. He and his brother (who came in from North Carolina for a visit for a few days) headed to the Childrens museum with the kids and me and my sister in law Rachel headed to WICKED!

The show did NOT disappoint, if you ever have a chance to see WICKED, see it. Tim and I had seen it before and this was just as good if not better this time around. Rachel had never seen it and she was just blown away.
We met up with the guys at the Weber Grill restaraunt and had a great dinner.
Here is Tim's brother Jon and Rachel at dinner:

Tim and I at dinner:

They have two kids Jaxen and Kennedy. Jaxen isn't quite 1 yet so he stayed at home with grandma for the day, but Kennedy came along. The cousins had fun together:

What a GREAT day and an awesome way to kick off the summer, I'm free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, then we drove home ( a neighbor had let Mickey out for us and fed him dinner).
I came home to a pile of Crocs in pieces. MY CROCS, BOTH pairs, DESTROYED!!!!!

AUGH!!!!!!!!!
Add that to my Disney to do list, the kids and I need to head out and get new pairs today for me. BUMMER! That was the most expensive chew toy he could have found, gotta love puppies.
16 days until Disney guys!!!!! It's going to be so busy up until we leave. Luke has tons of baseball games, track camp, dentist and a doctors appointment. I have a doctors appointment and a to do list to make and TONS of things to buy and get ready. Tim has DJ events and tons of DVD slideshows for graduations and Father's Day he needs to churn out, Lauren has swim lessons and birthday parties to attend. Should make the time just FLY by, I better start working on that to do list : )
I'll post it when I'm done
Lesley

OOOh Noooo!

shoebuy.com

[shannon47142]

so glad you guys enjoyed Wicked!
wow--what a packing list--but isn't nice when you can start checking off each item?

 

[Trentmom]

That stinks about your crocs


Glad you had a nice time in INDY


Yay for no school and making to do lists

 

[punkin413]

we saw wicked in NYC (haven't gotten that far in my TR yet) and it was SO AMAZING!!!! i'm hoping it comes back to atlanta sometime soon so i can see it again.

I came home to a pile of Crocs in pieces. MY CROCS, BOTH pairs, DESTROYED!!!!!

sorry to laugh....i feel your pain! although my doggies have never chosen crocs to destroy, only those cheap old navy flip flops. when eli was a puppy he got one of my navy blue flips flops and ATE the WHOLE THING! all that was left was the thong part that goes over your foot. i called the vet and she said to give him 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide and he'd puke it up. it worked! he puked like 5 times and every time was full of navy blue rubber!

 

[punkin413]

by the way, i don't know if you've had a chance to look at the crocs website lately, but they have a ton of new styles.

i got these on sale about 2 months ago and i LOVE them! they're so comfy. the only thing is they're closed-toe so i don't know that would be for florida in june!

Too funny about the Crocs. My parents have a border collie and when he was a puppy he would eat everything! Like an entire rubber ball! Alll her garden statues! Fortunately, he has grown out of that!

As for Crocs, I still love the Cleo style, but I think I like the Adara better:

Fortunately, I have a Crocs Outlet store close by and have been able to get some great deals there.

 

[jwwi]

Can't believe how funny your chewed up crocs look. Puppies will chew anything. Hope you have time to replace them prior to your trip.
