[spiritsim]

yes I wanna go to the connection ........ thanks for the link.

So excited 211 days to Disney .....yeha!

take a look at this http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/.../challenge-the-disney.../

ewww, I love this idea. Not a drinker so drinking around the world does nothing for my interest, BUT... oh, ya.

I love the magic band covers as well. I would get them for sure if I had a trip planned.

Love all you plans...every time they change, I still love them.

I'm finally caught up with your PTR! I love your latest plans, even with the slight tweaks you just made. One thing to know is that if your girls want to meet Elsa and Anna, they are in Norway and it starts at 9AM, even though WS doesn't really open until 11. Just FYI.

Also, as far as Harmony Barber Shop, they don't do the color anymore, but they do sprinkle fairy dust into the hair, which is cool.

I agree with Starring Rolls for quick food, but they close at 5, so it would have to be early. We really love to eat at ABC Commissary for quick service. Their burgers seem to be a cut above other places. There is plenty of seating and it's comfy.

How is Frank's back coming along? Hope he is much improved by now. Have a great weekend!

Hey it's better than 2 years which is when we started..... Update on my DH Frank. He's doing much better now doing water pta on mon and Fridays and wen regular pt. The water therapy really helps relaxes his back while he exercises. They have a small pool that has a built in tread mill they can raise it up to ground level and you step on it and grab the bar and they lower it until you say you are good. Like chest level. Then he does his walking ad exercises......an hour twice a week. We took our youngest son out for his birthday sat(his birthday was the 22nd but Frank wasn't up to it then) went to Tokyo steak house(it's like teppen edo) Love that place. Then we went to walmart with him he wanted advice on a new tv. So we had a nice time...Don't tell Raina I found some baskets for easter that are Minnie mouse heads....but I am saving them for Disney.......lol (tink gift baskets) Ok so I already got the girls 3 or 4 different baskets for tink gifts.....so what that's what grandmas do! So cute I couldn't resist them. And Frank was with me and said get them so there ya have it.
Oh I also ordered them small world singing dolls from india and Japan? can't remember they sing in their native language and the Disney store had them on sale. Raina knows and I had them sent to her house.....saves packing them. It snowed 2" here last night.......when will this end. So sick of snow. guess that's all the news I have for now...... Hope everyone is well

 

[Chicago Mo]

OMG i need to know everything you guys bought already for the this trip!
I cannot wait to hear what you buy when YOUR THERE!!!

oh i won't tell Raina but i cannot guarantee she won't read that.

Glad DH is doing better...

 

[sweetpeaandevie]

well, you know there are no secrets on the DIS!!!

it's okay mom, when you move down here they will be bringing stuff to keep at your house for when they come over!!! so, buy away!!!

Mo, I made a list when I was there so she wouldn't buy stuff we already had! It's kinda sad Of course, we will have plenty of stuff to spread the pixie dust around while we are there!!!

 

[spiritsim]

Why is it sad? ot sure what I did with the little book that list was in........hm ok I can't find it.........lol but I can say what I have bought lately.......I got some of that stuff that is supposed to keep you from chaffing. A brita water bottle so I can refill it in the parks. Two Minnie mouse buckets from walmart. Their dolls both the princess ones I have here and the small world ones sent to Raina. 2 collapsable cups for my purse/bag. And before we leave I will pick up treats and snacks for our room and to bring to the park.....Frank needs stuff with him incase his blood sugar drops......and I eat cliff bars all the time! Oh and I have a few small items that I already told Raina about. Necklesses I got at a craft sale for all of us (4)girls. small purses for the 2 girls. some small braclets and stampers for Halloween got at walmart on sale after Halloween. less than a dollar. Frank got the girls some small bottles of Disney princess bath foam/gel. And a princess makeup bag, has some small princess stuff in it like nail polish, hairbands, a plastic tiara. and a couple card games, oh and a tic tac toe board I also got at a craft show and that should be everything.......lol good thing we are driving huh!

Did I mention I already have my suicases packed......I have 2 small ones Frank has the big one which is not packed yet....

 

[sweetpeaandevie]

Well, today has turned into an unexpected day off for me! After I get all caught up around the DIS I guess I will tackle a few Disney projects!!! I am also having a slumber party for Audrey in a couple of weeks so we will work on some of that. YAY! Craft day!!!

 

[spiritsim]

Hello Raina........ok why are you off? weather bad there? we got more snow again last night but I need to go to walmart sometime today.... well maybe later after it warms up some its like 2 outside burrrrrrrr

Plus we have costumes for both girls (princess dresses), about 20 outfits with matching bows, some Halloween stuff I got on clearance, various craft projects........... We are gonna need our arrival day free just to unload and unpack!!!!

I'm glad that you don't mind our chatter back and forth....sometimes I feel like everyone else is gonna hate our ptr since it ends up being the Trish and Raina show/chatroom!!!!!

btw-you are welcome to come with us anytime!!!! I am sure you are a blast "in person".....(maybe I'll get invited to one of y'alls meets at some point....lol)

Thanks Ruthie!!!!! We had beautiful weather here on Sunday 73deg.....then it dropped 35deg..rained/sleeted/snowed all afternoon and evening yesterday I am so tired of winter!!!! I mean, I live in the south for a reason!!!!!!! Today the roads are solid ice and since it is only supposed to get up to about 35deg I doubt it will change much....so snow (ice) day it is. but tomorrow I will have to go to work no matter what

 

[Chicago Mo]

I love the chatter between you two.. It's your trip and fun to listen in!!

one of these days we will have a HUGE Dis meet!! that would be a lot of fun!!!


Not kidding when i tell you i am excited to see you using all your fun stuff AND what else you buy.. if you haven't gotten it all already!

 

[spiritsim]

well I bought some dresses last year from Holyclothing.com Love there stuff but it's always hard to judge sizes when ordering from out of country.....I think they are in Germany. Any who.....
a few of my sundresses are to tight in the bust......
Ok I have a full figure so sue me.
So I think they will end up in Raina's closet when we get there.....


what to do...




I know order a couple more .....


so today I ordered 2 more sun dresses in the next size. A brown one and a grey one......






So what will Raina get





brown, pink, white, and I think there is one more
I can't remember the color??

any ways they are the same dress just different colors.....

my new ones are a little different pattern, picked a pattern I thought would have more room.....

I can't post pics right now my comp is in the shop and this is my DH's comp. He doesn't have photobucket.....lol So sorry....


Thanks for the sun it was 20 for a high yesterday today they say it will be 30.....and 35 tomorrow.....wow a heat wave!

 

[Luvchefmic]

I checked out the holy clothing website some very feminine & romantic looks there you will be one hot momma

 

[sweetpeaandevie]

YAY!!!! New clothes for ME!!! The girls always get all the clothing love from Grandma

We had a cold spell the last couple of days, (last night was in the thirties but felt like 17 ) but the sun is out today!!! Maybe spring is FINALLY here! It is supposed to be in the 60s this week! I am putting out my easter décor today

The slumber party is next weekend so I really need to be cleaning the house instead of sitting here on the computer!!!

 

[sweetpeaandevie]

Well, I have had a pretty productive weekend....I went through all the giftcards and counted it up.....only have about a grand left to pay....which is still left in the bank from the taxes So then I have about a grand to come up with for the girls part and we will be PIF!!! Can't wait!! then I just have to pay for the extras.... Of course, I am still hoping for free dining and then most of these extras will be already paid for

Got the house clean....well, mostly. I am about to clean the bathrooms. and the girls have to clean their playroom .

But what I am mostly excited about is this




YAY!!!!! I love a party....or pretty much any reason to do a craft project! (and I had to get mickey in there somehow.....)
I found the pedicure sets at the dollar tree and added a headband, lip gloss, makeup applicator, and a little nail polish that I had in the cupboard! The girls will be all set....spa slumber party is gonna be GREAT!

 

[spiritsim]

well you already know I love the spa sets....wish I could be there.....
and I think the last one is purple...(dress I meen)

Frank and I went to the movies ,first time since hes been home. We went to monument men, pretty good movie if you like war movies. Frank is a history buff.

He did pretty good considering he had to get in and out of that really low chair at the movies......

I really got to get back to packing boxes, haven't done any this week at all.
We are moving to many stairs in the house here.....want to move to NC if we can find a cheap place. Both on fixed income so we are low income now.
