I have loves being part of your trip8 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW....what else can you say other than that!
Congrats to 8 days!!!
I'm feeling nervous, unorganized, overwelmed, excited, happy and ready to go on our trip! Does any of that make sense?!
Yes, it makes sense because you're describing me right now!
I feel like we got some good things done this weekend....and I got to cross some things off my list!
Speaking of which...here it is...what am I missing?

Can't wait to see the hats!
I finally caught up with Tracey today, it had been a long time! It was so nice to catch up with her and chat about our plans, she said, she knows she had nothing to worry about and that I have everything taken care of!She knows me pretty well....
I bought Todd an anniversary present today, I have a feeling, a hunch, that he got me something, even though we say we are not to buy anything for each other! So, I decided to get him a Kindle. It's nothing he'd EVER buy for himself, and since he commutes to and from Boston on the train/bus every day, thought it would be nice, plus something that our parents can build on at Christmastime for him, too. So, now I have to figure out how to sneak it in our luggage and surprise him! Hmm.....I've also thought about ordering a cake or something but since we're on the dining plan, and get dessert, maybe it's too much, thoughts?
That is a great gift, I would love that!
On other news, I have talked to both the big boys teachers and there are no issues for taking the kids out of school!Ethan will be responsible for a journal of our activities and any academics will be made up later, so that's easy enough. Lucas, is just in Kindergarten, and she wasn't concerned, at all, she wants to sneak in our suitcases!!
I've been hearing some rumors of storms, I can't bring myself to even look at accuweather or anything this far out, I'm afraid to! Please send pixie dust that we don't need to even think about that!
I'm praying NO RAIN!!!
On other notes, we got a GREAT call from Cole's allergist today!He has passed this blood test!!!!!!! We now have to go for the "peanut challenge" but they can't get us in until January!
So we'll continue to avoid it, just in case, and carry our epipen. But this is a good sign!!!!!
Yay! I know that is going to be such a relief to you if he passes the peanut challenge.
Hope you're all well!!!! And thanks so much for reading and being a part of my trip!!
Great idea getting your DH the Kindle; that will be perfect for his commute! I told my DH that I want one for Christmas. It will be so much easier to carry around than books when I have doctor appointments, etc.
It seems like a really neat idea to me though!! Hope you get one fro Christmas, how nice would that be!!Kristen! 8 days! That's awesome! I know what you mean about "feeling nervous, unorganized, overwelmed, excited, happy and ready to go on our trip!" I'm really with you. So much to do, but no time to do it in. Plus, I'm overwhelmed, and I don't even know where to begin. (Started a list of To-Dos today. . .can't concentrate on my work issues today. . .just working on Disney stuff when I can!!)
Phew....glad it's not just me, time is closing in on us all of sudden!Hope you're checking things off your to do list today!!!
I'm so excited for you. I'll have to recheck your schedule to see if we can meet up! I'll let you know!
Please let me know!

We probably have passed by each other at some point. I am at Target all the time and I am going again this weekend...last minute stuff.
We have had to!! How funny!! The cashiers know me at Target!!
On the storm front, it looks like we don't have to worry about Igor or Julia and they are staying out to sea. Here's hopin' that stays that way. Looks like we are gonna get nice weather this weekend!!!
Loving this cooler Fall like temperatures, it's just GORGEOUS, isn't it?!!! Awww, Amy, thanks for being here! It's so much fun sharing with you all!!!I have loves being part of your trip
I'm such an emotional Mommy!! I gave Cole a quick kiss, told him I loved him and was out of there so fast, before I was too crazy! The good news is, I had Ruby to drop off at the groomers and breakfast plans with a friend to look forward to. We both survived and he did great!!! And so did Mommy!!!
It's just so strange to me that after almost 8 years (next month) I've been a stay at home Mom, never did my kids go to daycare or anything, so having my last one go to school is very bittersweet, I'm sure some of you can relate. And I'm sure in a week or two, I'll be LOVING every minute so I can get food shopping done alone, Target trips and Christmas shopping complete without any help!
I bet he's just going to LOVE it all too.
Can you believe I get to say....ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you believe I get to say....ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I'm sure in a week or two, I'll be LOVING every minute so I can get food shopping done alone, Target trips and Christmas shopping complete without any help!
Glad to hear the drop off went pretty well! I'm sure it will become easier and easier.
I can't think of anything else for your list!! I hope it's all on there. Laundry? 582 Target runs?
I think you are going to be okay with the weather. I think I heard both Juliana and Igor are expected to fizzle out, they are both still a ways out there.
ONE WEEK!!!!!
I never do well with these transitions and the kids, it's so hard letting them go sometimes, they always seem to do better than their Mommy!! Hooray for one week! I'm right there with you.
Don't worry about being an emotional mommy- teachers/school staff see them all the time. We know it is hard!
Hope you are getting your things done for your trip. What do you have left to do? Maybe that will help me remember what I have to do!!!
Take care! I'll check you schedule in a bit and let you know.
Kristin
That is so exciting!
The 28th, we're in Epcot.....boo!!
I had to laugh and agree with this! I homeschooled all three of my kids until they were in 9th, 7th, and 5th. They never did daycare or anything. When they started school, I was nervous for them, but it is sooooo nice to shop alone!
One Week!!!!
I'm sure there will be at least a handful more in the next 6 days!!!!!!! Our Target is in our mall, so I am hoping to stop by Famous Footwear, as well, I'm VERY stressed about MY shoes! My last trip I wore my Fit Flops, LOVED them, have had them a little over a year, can wear them all day long, have no issues but all of a sudden they are REALLY bothering me! And now I'm worried a week away from our trip that I don't have comfy shoes! My running sneakers aren't great for all day long, my crocs are worn out.....AHHHHH! NOT what I needed to worry about now! So we'll see what I can come up with. Fingers crossed I maybe find another pair of Fit Flops and we'll have no issues. 
So, it's sitting on my desk.
