Wow, we are getting so close.
So before I go onto our normal update, I have to share some cute pics with you. As you saw, Tim's brother and his family came into town and we went to Indy to see Wicked - well, while they were here we also celebrated my nephew Jaxen's 1st b-day. It was Mickey themed, so funny, she said she did it because of me - he doesn't even know who Mickey is - too cute.
Here he is getting into his cake:

You've gotta respect him, this kid even went for the plate :

He was not happy when his other cousins started moving in and tried to get tastes with him:

But he recovered quickly and started painting his sister Kennedy's hair with it

Too funny.
O.K, back to trip planning.
We went grocery shopping last night (needed to go so badly) and we spent an hour picking things out, going through the store when they started telling everyone that their computers were down and would be for a while, leave everything in the isles and leave the store.THAT STUNK! So now we have to go back AGAIN today and have NOTHING to show for our hour in the store last night.
After that we headed to Target to start marking things off of our list.
Here is what we got so far off the list:

I got a GREAT deal on those shorts for Lauren, they are the super comfy kind and they were only $3.50!!! I found the purex 3 in 1 sheets, THANKS GUYS! Also found bigger packets of the anti bacterial wipes, more poncho's (just got 4 more), tide stain sticks (a must have with my kids) activity packs for Lauren for the plane.
I also got all bills paid up online this morning for the trip and stopped the Mail. GETTING CLOSE!!!
Gotta run and take Luke to track camp. Look for our "this time next week posts" starting SUNDAY!!!!!
Have a good one!
Lesley
I now, I can't wait, it's going to be such a great/long trip! So sorry to hear about your grandbabies, I'm sure you'll figure something out with Disney tied in : )I can't believe you are so close, Lesley! I'm so excited for you to be able to stay so long!Your travel purchases look great - I was just thinking the same as everyone else about that Purex soap - be sure to tell us how it worked, K?
We're off for the weekend for my DS and DDIL's grad from SOU with their Master's in teaching - they move to Texas on July 4thThe bad part is they're taking my grandbabies with them.
The good part is they got great jobs there - there are none here. AND they are already figuring out how far it is to drive to WDW and meet us for vacations

As for the podcast, on the Main disboards page on the top click on the podcast icon or you can get it free on itunes. For the downloading of Disney live radio, I got if for free on my ipod, I followed the detailed directions someone posted on the podcast thread, it was relatively easy and free, you can find the post in that thread or post the question and someone will answer you ; ) Hope this helps. I just LOVE the music there too!We were pretty disappointed with canceling our December trip, but the good thing is I had the Christmas season and many "Christmasy" activites to keep me occupied, so I didn't really miss it that much.
Anyway, I soooo cannot wait to read about your trip when you come back, I couldn't imagine spending almost 3 weeks there, you are soooo lucky!
I did have a question, you and Tim were talking about podcasts, I keep hearing about it, but don't know where to go to download some. I also really want some Disney ride/theme park atmosphere music on my ipod as well, but can't find any. There is great Disney music on live365.com. You don't have to be a paying member to listen to it either, you have to join, but you don't have to upgrade to the paying membership to listen. They have all the rides on there plus the cool background music you here like Epcot's theme music and Space Mt's cool music. I would love to download that, but don't know how, but you can stream it on your computer and it's great. Once at work, I listened all day and heard COP show, Spaceship earth, Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade and more! It is really awesome and soooo gets you in the mood!
Sorry to take up all this space, I hope you guys have a fabulous time!!
Thanks, I can't believe how close we are! Got all the shopping done today, YEAH!Your nephew is too cute........I love how he went for the plate and all! We're celebrating my nephew's 1st birthday this weekend.....should be interesting to see how that goes!

Thanks, I can't wait!! It was a great deal on the shorts, now I'm thinking I wish I'd gotten more.I'm so excited for you all! That is a big bummer about spending an hour shopping to just leave it all behind. Great deal on the shorts.![]()

I can't believe how close the trip is, you all must be so excited!!!Isn't trip shopping fun?! I love going to Target and stocking up on everything, knowing that I'll pack it all soon. I'm glad you were able to check a few more things off the list!
I will let you know for sure. They were 5.99 at Target, but I saw them for 4.99 at our local grocery store.I don't leave for Disney until August. Please, please let us know what you think about the Purex 3 in 1 sheets. I like the package they come in. Looks like easy packing - no bulky boxes. Thanks!!
Oh, how much at Target?
Yeah, they were SUCH a great deal!!! Lauren loves them, says they are "super comfy" : )Glad you found some of those shorts too----I forgot to mention those, and they are such a good deal!!!! Megan has several pairs, and has been practically living in them!
