Hey Mom, Do I get to be the line leader again? A PTR (My TR has started! - 6/1)

[Brave teacher]

Great update Megan! Cooper was really getting into that Mickey bar! I have cute pics of the girls doing that too. Soooo sweet.

I really like your photopass pics. The second one is really nice of all 4 of you. Everyone has a nice smile in that one. Do you have that one printed??

We are getting super close now!! Can't wait!!!

Thanks Leanne! That is the "proper" way of eating the ice cream bar.

Thanks about the PP pics. It's always tought to get them to all look at the same time.

Everyone is always surprised when they walk into my house because there is not a single thing that is decorated Disney. My siblings are actually pretty disappointed in me with that. The problem is that if I start, I know I will go completely over the top obnoxious eventually, and I don't want to go there. However, we should start a Disney picture wall. I have a place for it.

Love the ice cream pics!!! THAT'S how you eat Mickey ears!!! Looked like a nice, relaxing day for you guys. It is amazing how much thinner both you and your husband are going to be for this upcoming trip. Both you and Bryan look 20-30 lbs lighter.. great job!!!

Where are we at.. 16 days now... wooo hooo!!!

That's how he eats it every time! He loves to make a mess with them. However, he has a fit if the chocolate or ice cream touch his hands.

It was a very relaxing day. We couldn't have asked for a better time.

As a matter of fact, I am exactly 20 pounds lighter right now than I am in those pictures.

TWO WEEKS BABY!!!!!!

Cooper looks as if he's totally enjoying that ice cream bar!

Great photopass pictures!

Thanks Michelle! He certainly loves his Mickey bars!

 

[Brave teacher]

Love it! What a sweet memory!

That's what this is all about huh! Making sweet family memories...I love it!

 

[Brave teacher]

Great recap! I love the photopass pictures!!!
Cooper's pictures with the mickey ears are too cute...
I can't believe you guys are down to the teens on your countdown!

Thanks Connie!

I can't believe we are down to two weeks now. By this time two weeks from now, I will be in Florida.

 

[Brave teacher]

I wish I could enjoy my Mickey Bars like Cooper does! Chef Mickey's is your last, and it's our first. I'm counting down the days till we get to have our Mickey waffles there!!!

Me too Alicia. I think if we walked around like that people would gove us some pretty strange looks.

CHef Mickey's is our traditional last supper. We did that for Sam's first trip and have done it for every single trip after that.

 

[Brave teacher]

Great AK pictures and photopass pics!

I could totally have one of those Mickey ice cream bars right now--and love being just as messy!

Thanks! Wouldn't our lives be so much nicer if we could just have a Mickey bar every day?

 

[Brave teacher]

Love the pic of Cooper and his ice cream . Letting the kids be kids is part of the magic at Disney . I can't wait to be there and enjoy how easy life seems. I'm so excited about this upcoming trip and meeting up with so many of my Dis friends .

Thanks Dana! Seeing that picture of Cooper reminds me of that episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 when they went to the MK, and she had a fit because the kids were eating ice cream and getting dirty. That's too much stress in my life. They need to be able to enjoy their surroundings and just be kids while they are there. I know I am.

We are getting so close now! Almost to single digits....

 

[Brave teacher]

I can't wait for one of those Mickey Bars!!! 15 days!! Whoohooo!

WOOT WOOT!!!

I know! We are getting so close! Too excited...

We are ready as well. Just picked up a couple of things today. Everything is ready to go. We just have to pack the suitcases.

We need to print out a copy of our itinerary to give to yall as well. We are looking forward to our mega dinner at Ohana as well. Sonny and Stacey are going to love it!

We are looking forward to your meal tomorrow night. It has been so long since I have seen Lady and The Tramp. It should be another fun night.

Still thinking about the next theme. I want to be amazing since it is the last one. Just trying to think if what it should be.

So, we are down to TWO wekks until we leave now. The countdown chain is getting shorter. The DIsney box is FULL! The pool bag is packed. All new clothes and shoes have been purchased. We have just 3 things left to do now...(1) buy the waterproof camera...Can anyone tell what Bryan's job has been?, (2) buy our snacks and drinks for the road and the room, (3) PACK...I am so ready to start this one.

I need to do a photo shoot to show you all everything I have bought lately.

Important piece of news. I bought Cooper a new pair of tennis shoes today. When we got home, he put them on so I could measure him. I put a line at 40" tall on my bathroom wall, placed a book ABOVE said line, and told Cooper to stand under it. I explained for him to stand as tall as he could and try to make his head touch the book. When he stood under it and stood tall, he bumped the book and pushed it up. HE HIT THE 40" MARK!!!!!! I am not telling him just in case it was a fluke, but he should be tall enough for Soarin and Tet Track now.

Today was Sam's last day of school. His closing ceremony for kindergarten was this morning. He has grown so much this past year. Cooper's last day of daycare was yesterday. The boys will be staying with my mom starting on Monday. They are getting so excited now.

Also this week....I booked our stay at the Holiday Inn in Lake City for the 21st. It will be interesting to see how they boys react to not getting to WDW on the same day we leave.

Megan he is a suggestion for a theme night!
what about an Epcot night?!? traveling (eating) around the world...
you could watch Nemo, Lion King, a dinosaur movie, Planet 51 (mission space)
I had read another thread where they did an Epcot night; I thought it was kinda neat
food could be a little sample of all
sliders, hot dogs, nachos, something chinese, fish and chips...

have fun!

 

[longing2Batdisney]

YaY!! Cooper way to go!!! and they will measure him! Ashton was measured at the start of the ride and just before getting on! he loved Dinosaur, Soarin' and was not to thrilled with TT...

 

[alboq]

Megan, after looking for stuff for Sat nite's Lady and the Tramp====we should have done Lilo and Stitch===trust me, we would have had NOOOO problem finding luau stuff.

YEAH COOPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fingers crossed its not a fluke.

 

[cinderella crazy]

I'm so glad that Cooper hit the 40" mark!!!

We have to buy video camera tapes, snacks and pack too. That's about it (besides cleaning the house and laundry). It's so exciting!

 

[ladybugmom]

Whooo for 2 weeks and hitting the 40" mark!!!!!! I'm hoping Claire will hit 40" before we leave! She's almost there!!

Thanks Connie! I had actually thought about a night of World SHowcase to celebrate our first park. Bryan's not digging it too much. He's still hoping for Toy Story because it would just be super-easy to order pizza. I need to go back on the families board and look at the theme meal thread to get some ideas.

YaY!! Cooper way to go!!! and they will measure him! Ashton was measured at the start of the ride and just before getting on! he loved Dinosaur, Soarin' and was not to thrilled with TT...

I know they will measure him, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that he can hit it. He finally understood what I meant that he needed to try to get his head to bump the book. I just need to make sure to remind him to try to get his head to bump the stick and keep it there. If he can't measure up, we'll at least know he'll hit it next trip.

I had thought about Lilo and Stitch as well. We may have to discuss this one further tomorrow night.

Keeping all my fingers, toes, hair, arms, legs, eyes, whatever crossed that it is not a fluke.

I love the last few days! It's so exciting getting everything together.
