Going back to WDW for Liam's 9th Birthday! 5/29-6/3 WE ARE BACK!!!

[Perrinsmommy]

Yay for the teens! I bet Liam is so excited!!! Our departure party is in 11 days and we will be on our way to join you guys in disney.

 

[Singledad]

that is awesome about Liam getting one free like that!

Can you believe how close we are getting!?!

 

[silverhaze269]

Just got caught up

It was really nice of the guy to give Liam a free bracelet

I'd never seen that April Fool's joke post about the mugs...but wow, that was a good one...I'm not big on April Fool's because sometimes stuff like that happens and then you get really disappointed when you find out it was all a joke...maybe I'm just a party pooper

It's getting so close now, I can almost hear the "final boarding announcement" ... can you?

So here is the answer to question #18

c.) 2000

Only male cast members played gangsters during the live-action sequence for The Great Movie Ride's first 11 years. "Mugsi Tocatta," the first female gangster, joined in 2000.

Here is question #19

The Baobab trees on the Kilimanjaro Safaris are______?

a.) Really from africa
b.) Camouflaged animal feeders
c.) Made out of fiberglass and steel
d.) Known biologically as Disneyodendron eximus

Did You Know?

The Fastpass and the standby lines in Expedition Everest are themed differently, as it is assumed, even within the story, that you are on a "Fast Track" to get through and therefore bypass the booking office. In either line, you will have an opportunity to "purchase supplies" before you board the train and your journey begins.

So I hope you enjoy the trivia question of today.

News on the home front, I spoke a little to soon when I declared my house as fever free. The baby woke up crying at about 10:30 last night and when I picked him up I noticed that he was extremly hot. I took his temp under his arm and it was 104.5 I also noticed that his breathing was just a little off (found out later that is normal for a persons breathing to be harder when they have a fever) Of course with that high of a fever and with his past history I was taking a late night run to the ER. Good news is he is fine, just seemed to get the same bug as his siblings and is today fever free. I hoping that this time it is for good. (I am currently knocking on wood. JIC)

Bought some Eyore PJ's for my trip yesterday. Now I just have to do a little bit of laundry and I should be able to finish packing all the cloths. I also bought some gum for the trip. Two packs just to be on the safe side.

17 days to go. How exciting is that!!!!

I think I'll go with C) made out of fiberglass and steel for the trivia. I think D is in reference to a certain tree at MK, if I'm not mistaken.

Sorry to hear about the baby. Glad to hear he is fever-free today. Something weird is really going around. DS keeps getting a random fever, but he won't slow down.

Would love to see the Eeyore PJs! I have 5 pairs of Eeyore PJs. Can you tell I'm a fan?

Thanks for reminding me to pick up gum!

YAY FOR 17 DAYS!!!

 

[MARsMama]

Wow, that was really nice for the guy to give Liam the bracelet for free

Days are really going by quickly! That's exciting that you'll soon be all packed

Sorry to hear about your little one getting the fever too, but glad that it's now gone. Hoping that will be it for you family and this fever

I'll guess B for the trivia this time, and that's all it is, a guess!

 

[Singledad]

seriously, 2000!? that threw me.

my guess is steel.

glad babes is fever free today! hope everyone stays that way!

 

[sahm2two]

my guess is B... my trip starts in 15 days! Not at disney for another 4 after that, but still have to be all packed up in 2 weeks!

 

[sl_underwood]

Finally got caught up on your report. It was so nice of the man to give Liam the bracelet. Sorry to hear about the high fever and ER trip but glad it is better now. We are getting awfully excited here, 11 days until we leave! I can only imagine your excitement! We have yet to pack really. I have packed a few outfits only so Luke would not stain or tear them (he is very hard on clothes) but then Ikeep getting behind on laundry and he is pulling out of his bag. Hopefully, I can finish my shopping and get packed sometime next week. I really hate it but I kind of think I will still be doing some of this last minute. Wish I was more organized but I just dont seem to have enough time. Maybe if I didnt spend so much time on disboards... nah, that cant be the problem

 

[hollybearsmom]

I'm going to guess B

Hopefully now everyone is fever free.
Yeah for Liam getting his bracelet.

I'm ready to start packing and I've got three months to go!

Well unfortunatly the fever has know made it's rounds through all of my kids. Liam was doing his breathing treatments and started telling me that he felt dizzy and his eyes hurt. I took his temp and sure enough it was already 101.7. Amazingly it came on him so quick, we had just come back from an ice cream social/bookfair at his school. (books were buy one get one free so Liam and Mia both got 2 books.) I gave him some medicine and sent him up to bed. Of course since he wasn't feeling well he decided he wanted to sleep in mommies bed. Everytime I woke last night I checked him which is good because at one point he was really hot so I had to wake him up and give him more medicine. He of course feels crummy, but the coughing hasn't resurfaced so I am crossing my fingers that we have no further problems there. (I probably just cursed myself, because every time I mentioned the fevers and hoping no one else gets another one pops up with. UHM...So just forget I said anything.)

As for me I am feeling OK besides lack of sleep. I literelly didn't get home until 3 am on Thursday morning and with a crabby baby and 1 million things running through my head I got about an hour or two of sleep. I tried to take a nap yesterday but with a baby who was still not feeling well and a 3 year old it wasn't in the cards. I tried to go to bed early last night, but the baby was still being cranky (he is also teething) and was constinantly waking up about every hour. I finally brought him to bed with me at about 5 am and got a liitle sleep (as much as you can holding a baby) but I am still feeling soooooo tierd. OH WELL, maybe I will do better tonight.

 

[sl_underwood]

Oh no, so sorry to hear he is sick. I know how tired and stressed out you must feel this close to vacation with so much to do and so much sickness. I hope your whole family feels better quickly!

So sorry to hear Liam is not well. I hope he recovers quickly! I'm feeling the stress from lack of sleep myself being up at odd hours with sick ones.

Just chant with me: Better to be sick now than at WDW!

It's my motto to get me through.

I do hope you can get some rest. And I really do hope that all the bugs and germs find somewhere else to lurk.

 

[MARsMama]

So sorry to hear that the fever had continued on in your home. I hope that it's gone for good soon and that you will be able to get caught up on your sleep. It's tough to get sleep when there's sick little ones in the house.

 

[PixieMama]

Oh, no.

But if the kiddos have to get sick, better now than while at WDW, right?

 

[Corrine 1973]

Oh no, so sorry to hear he is sick. I know how tired and stressed out you must feel this close to vacation with so much to do and so much sickness. I hope your whole family feels better quickly!

Thank you. Things can only get better, right?

I love that motto and will have to remember that tonight when I try to get some sleep. The baby seems to not be as crabby today, so hopefully he will sleep as well.

Isn't that the truth. There was one point last night that I was near tears. I was so tierd but the baby was crying (actually screaming) so I had to put my tierdness aside. It definatly was a battle.

Oh, no.

But if the kiddos have to get sick, better now than while at WDW, right?

Definatly right and it is what is getting me through it. 16 day till disney. 16 days to get everyone better. I just hope that it skips me and that it doesn't go through the kids again. I just sent Liam upstairs because his fever has flared again.

Thanks everyone for your well wishes, It helps to know that there are friends out there rooting for me.

 

[Singledad]

praying everyone gets and then stays well! If I didn't work this weekend, i'd offer to come hold the crabby baby! He is too cute!

 

[mtgirl29]

:Here is to everyone getting better and getting some sleep tonight.

16 days to go!!!!

 

[brookelizabeth]

I'm here! I haven't read everything yet - but just trying to catch up! Sorry to hear about the sick kiddos! That is no fun. But, hopefully they get it all done with and are nice and healthy for the trip! I hope you get some SLEEP too!!!!

Thanks Singledad. Everyone seems to be doing better today so hopefully I am not cursing myself again. I think he is cute to, but in the middle of the night when I only got two hours of sleep the night before I wasn't thinking he was to cute.

:Here is to everyone getting better and getting some sleep tonight.

I finally did get some sleep last night. Liam still slept with me because he wasn't feeling 100% and told me his body was telling him to sleep at 9pm. I would have slept to but I was watching the serier finale of Smallville on Tivo. LOVED IT!!! I went to bed at 10 and besides the baby waking at 3 for about 5 min, I slept to 8:30. We all got some sleep that we needed. It was great!!!

to my PTR brookelizabeth, hope you find it as entertaining as I find your TR. All the kids seem nice and healthy today. Just got back from McD's and meeting up with a friend of mine. Same one that might go with me in 2011.
