SEE MY TICKER!!!!!
4 days left!!!!
I didn't pack today
Good thing I came over & checked. Babysitting a 2 year old 
. How did you accomplish anything else? And HUGE 
on the $158! We rolled our coins yesterday too (we don't save them up on purpose, just random coins) and had... $9.50. Ha! Wanna trade? 
That's awful that your dd's teacher reacted that way!
I know how it feels though...my dd goes to a Montessori pre-school and periodically the teachers send home little articles and stuff for the parents to read. Well, right at the end of last year we got a photocopied article that had a picture of Mickey Mouse on it with a big line through it and the article went on to explain all the reasons why fantasy characters are so bad for children and blah,blah,blah.
I love my daughter's school and believe in their philosophy but this was just too extreme of a position for me.
I haven't told them yet that we're taking her out of school for a week because we're going to WDW yet but they'll get over it
She said "I guess I shouldn't be taking my kids to Walt Disney World next week?"
He has had kids go to WDW during the school year and he will give them assignments to do (like peytons journal) He is a math and science teacher so he will have them do a math journal. Percentage of time spent on attractions, etc or he will have hem bring back rock and soil samples to be used by the class in science class.
Thanks I'll pass it on.to your D-Hubby!!

Nope haven't talked to her yet.I will take her to school tomorrow morning and talk to her then.I am sorry her teacher was less than thrilled. I may have missed it but have you spoken with the teacher yet? I would beif she made your DD feel guilty about the trip.
sooo excited for you....4 days...you lucky duck!!
I am slightly excited too!! Not officially packing yet but my pile has steadily grown since yesterday morning.I knew you weren't packing!
The babysitting wasn't that bad-she is potty trained and played with my girls really well.I have taken care of her at the daycare, where I work, since she was six weeks old.I think I will pass on the coin trade. HI! Thanks for stopping in!Hi Amy!!!! Wanted to wish you well! Have a great time! We'll be looking forward to your TR when you get back![/SIZE]
Last year she had Peyton make up EVERYTHING they did while he was gone.We saw this article n one of the magazines at the peditrician's office. I started reading and actually giggled throgh part of it. I showed it to the peditrician and she briefly read it and laughed out loud
Fantasy like everything else = parents to teach real vs. fantasy. DS knows that the Ninja Turtles are not "real" but he still likes to play...I think it helps his imagination.
Amy, I showed DH (who is a teacher) your post and he was in disbelief. His response was, maybe she was jealous that she couldn't go
Even things not graded but that was fine.I just hope she will give me some of it before we go.She will have a 7 hour drive to work on it.Your DH sounds like a wonderful teacher.
I do have to tread lightly-the teachers here do not have to provide makeup work for unexcused abscences.Rebekah is pretty much over it I think.The kids are about to burst with excitement. I am afraid she will burn up.They look so cute dressed alike but I want her to be comfortable.I also thought about putting the matching shirt on her and after some pictures and when it gets so hot putting another shirt on her.Any suggestions?? I want to get Peyton's hair cut also,gotta look good for all the pictures. 
We decided we don't want to pay for anything OOP. 
SEE MY TICKER!!!!!
4 days left!!!!
I rolled my change and had...drumroll please....$158.77!
This will be the only $$ I will be taking except for the $25 I made from consigning.
I didn't pack today but I washed clothes and cleaned and made a cake and babysat a two year old...no wonder I am tired.I have to finish some cleaning tomorrow but I hope to be packed by the time people come over for DH's bday party.
Going to catch up on my numerous pretrip reports I am subscribed to.
Thanks for the compliment.
Great photos of your kids! My DH-10 loves softball too!
She tried but failed to take the magic out of it. Thanks for the bday wishes.Happy b-day to your DH! Congrats on the change-WOW, you did awsome, we counted ours and only had like 80.00 I think!
$80 is not bad at all.
yep real close!You are so close to going!!!!!
Have a GREAT trip! Can't wait to hear all about it!
I feel like I am seeing the end of the tunnel with my planning.I got alot done this weekend.Wow 3 days. I am so excited for you. I love reading everyone's reports as they get close. Reminds me of things I need to get done also
I am sooo sooo jealous.... fill us in on what all you did the masses want to know what the last few days pre trip are like... so we can be sure we don't forget something 
She informed me of alot of things but it comes down to this.She will be reporting the unexcused abscences to the social worker and I wil be having a call/visit from them upon our return. I informed her that the policy says that the social worker gets involved after 5 abscences.She says they are cracking down harder this year and so on .WHATEVER. Let her report me ,I am going by what the policy THAT I SIGNED says.She also asked who was going with me so I feel that she is going to drag Harleygirl's kids into this.Oh well I am going to disney! I will finish most of the packing tonight. 
How awful! I can't believe that teacher and that seems very extreme
I have only been home 3 days and I am already planning next years trip
