Having fun with my countdown!

Hi all! 40 days until we leave
I wanted to find a way to pass each day until our family trip; our kids are all older (the two going with us are 16 and 13), so any paper chains, cute posters, etc. are out of the question. Soooooo....I made a list of all my Disney DVD's in alphabetical order, and started watching them three days ago. One a day, two if I can squeeze them in (lazy weekends are easy for that). We have 56 Disney DVDs, so I have to double up if I can. I figured I'd leave the Christmas ones until near the end in case I have to skip a few. Anyhow, having fun watching the Disney movies, usually alone. My kids heave a big sigh and shake their heads when they hear the Disney music start, but then they'll non-chalantly wander into the room when they hear Aladdin's music or the Cars movie and suddenly find a spot to sit down and pass time with Mom It's nice to refresh our memories of all the movies.
Before I know it, I'll be at AKV and OKW

Fun idea! DS11 and I did our first paper chain. June 2005 was his first trip & we didn't think to do one then. We're down to 52 days!!! (I'm the one who tears a day off...he seems to have lost interest??? gasp - how sad!!)

My boy are 4 and we are doing the paper chain. They are really enjoying it. I wasn't sure if they would get it that as the chain gets small that means that we are closer to going on vacation. And they are really getting it.

Have fun watching your movies and happy planning. Have a wonderful trip
