I Can't Believe I Invited My MIL -I'm BAAACK! And determiend to finish this thing!

[Jiminy'sGirl]

Thank you for the help, I will try my best to figure it out and get some pics up. By the way, are you doing the happy dance yet. I can barely contain myself.......9 DAYS UNTIL WE LEAVE!!!

Oh my goodness...I keep looking at the big number 10 staring at me from the countdown calendar each time I walk by the playroom!! I just can't beleive we will be marking it off tongiht and then it will be SINGLE DIGITS, BAY-BEE!

But I am starting to feel that I-don't-want-to-go-on-my-trip-because-then-my-trip-will-be-over feeling. Dontcha just hate that???

Also, I am becoming obsessed with checking the weather... Accuweather does a 15 forecast and Monday and Tuesday look awesome!!

LOL!!! you sound just like me, I wrote that same thing in another post. My husband thinks I'm pathetic when I start to get sad because soon it will be over. I just don't think men get it (chalk up one more thing on the list of things they don't understand like we do, lol) I also am checking the weather. It is starting to get really chilly here so I am ready for Florida. I'm going to have to be drug out of there kicking and screaming!

Hey Heather,

Just typing a quick note to let you know that I just got internet back after several days being intermittently down.

I like the kids t-shirts and I may have to bum the idea for my kiddos. I just called a few days ago to book another trip for May with the kids anddddddd the in-laws. This should be a hoot.

I will check back after I catch up with almost a weeks worth of email.

Maybe they can drag us out together...Better yet, let's link arms and hold onto the Walt and Mickey statue.. We'll shout "hello no! We won't go!" at the top of lungs.. After that spectacle, our hubbys will just up and leave us there! Mission accomplished!

No internet!? How on earth have you been planning for this NEW TRIP!???

Did I inspire you with my MIL trip? Girl, you should have waited until I GOT BACK to book.... And least wait and hear how mine goes before you committ to anything!!

JK - Your MIL is a HOOT. I hope we get another good elevator story out of this trip...

I felt like I had lost my best friend all week. I did manage to get some stuff accomplished in the face of not being able to feed my addiction. The house is cleaned and most of the laundry is done. I cooked the last three nights (real meals not heating up frozen entrees!) I read almost two books in the last two days. I think Sonny is plotting to have the internet completely turned off.
I also started my pre-trip report for the May trip. Can we say obsessed much? In that report I will tell you how I got snuckered into taking the in-laws again. On top of that my brother and his in-laws are going! This should make for double the fun and stories.

I guess I will go show some love to some other reports. "See" ya later!

It can't be a family trip w/o a little bit o drama.

Heather: I would love the graphics and maybe some instructions but we can wait until you return from your trip.

You're in the single digits!! WooHoo!!

Welcome back Mardesia. Being without the internet is like being without your best friend. I can't wait to hear about your family trip in May, it sounds like it will be a hoot.

 

[Dylan_&_Blake's_mom]

LMBO, You are right, they would leave us. I'm with ya! So when do you want to meet there?! lol

Show love to other reports?? Why would you want to do something like that?

Serisouy, if you PM me, I could send you my fgraphics in like, 3 seconds flat. If you nwat me to switch something up for you, I could do that in about 2 minutes. I have about every Disney character in my clipart file. No need to wait unless you want to!

LMBO, You are right, they would leave us. I'm with ya! So when do you want to meet there?! lol

One hour from the time we are supposed to leave!! Actually, our last day will be at AK, so we'd have to link arms around the tree. I can't remember right now - do we have any days where we are at the same park??

Sounds good, lol. Here is what days we are doing what parks:
Monday, November 5th~ Sea World (sorry, I have to because I LOVE dolphins)
Tuesday, November 6th~Magic Kingdom
Thursday, November 8th(DH and I's 10th Anniversary!)~Animal Kingdom
Friday, Novemeber 9th~ WCC for lunch and then Dowtown Disney area

I think we were going to be at MK on the same day but I don't know about the others.

Just went back because I remembered your itenerary was up in the beginning and noticed you said "buy a new hoodie" at DTD. What kind of hoodies do they have and how pricey are they if you don't mind my asking. I've never been to downtown Disney. I was just going to buy a cute Mickey Mouse hoodie I saw @ Kmart for $20 but if they aren't too terrible there maybe I should wait. We will also be doing the Mr. Potato head thing you mentioned. The boys are excited because they have never done this before. They are also excited about the build your own lightsaber thing and fill a treasure chest thing.(thank you disboards for informing me about these things)

OK, yes! We will both be at the MK on TUesday, Nov. 6!!! How fun!!! Seriousy, you need to get me that pic of you all so I can find you!!! If we do pass each other by, I want to be able to give you a shout out!!!

Well, the hoodie thing is a dream. Hopefully it will be a reality one day, but I am doubting it. Years ago I said the only WDW item I wanted was pink hoodie with Jiminy Cricket on it. Well, you can't find much of anything with my sweet little fella on it, not even a hoodie. I have now relaxed my standards to "any color hoodie with JC on it." I have been looking 1-2 times a year for 5 years. Nada. I am hoping for the re-release of Pinnochio frmo that dadgum vault...that should boost JC's popularity a notch. I do see lots of hoodies though...I think the absolute cheapest I have seen is $45 or so . ?? I think more common is the$60 range. They ain't cheap. But, I have never actually bought one, because there is never a JC. SO maybe I am wrong on these prices. But I don't think so.

We are quite excited about the Potato Head pieces and the Lego box thing around here. Should be a great way to donate some cash to the Disney cause!!

I didn't realize you were in the single digit range...

I'm actually planning a big post sometime here soon...I wanted to do it on my first single-digit day, but it didn't happen. I have lots more bag and wardrobe choices to talk about. I might even get into make-up. Just to forewarn ya!

Thanks for the heads up.

I'll have to think of something to counter the bag/wardrobe talk.....

Just a note about the treasure chest thing...it's really small and expensive and the stuff you fill it with is really cheaply made. Didn't want you all to be disappointed when you got there and saw it.

 

[seashell724]

Love, love, love this thread! Soooo funny. Biggest smiles while reading it. Sounds a lot like myself in the planning stages. Excited for you to go but sad your planning will be over.

Like you, Disney compells me to do things I would never normally do. I am not outwardly obsessed at all. But inside...oh yes.

Can't wait for your next posts. Your family is the cutest.

 

[jordanyosh]

I can't believe I'm saying this.....where's your post on bags, wardrobe and makeup?

<adjusting and spitting right now>

 

[SeptemberGirl]

Love the shirts. Where is yours???

Just bought some new makeup this weekend...all about the makeup conversation!

 

[Jiminy'sGirl]

Thanks for the heads up.

Something tells me you won't have a problem doing that, Mr. Funny Pants.

And by that, I mean YOU are funny. I am sure there is nothing "funny" about your pants...

Is there?

Where does one even get this treasure box of which you speak? Not that I want one, mind you, after your review... But what on earth is it? Some sort of Peter Pan thing?

Love, love, love this thread! Soooo funny. Biggest smiles while reading it. Sounds a lot like myself in the planning stages. Excited for you to go but sad your planning will be over.

HI Seashell!!! So glad you found us!!! And glad I could provide a few smiles. Just wait until you see the belly laughs I can give you once I return and this baby becomes a full-grown trippie!! I am sure the stories of myself biting my tongue and sitting on my hands to keep from mauling my MIL will be HI-LARIOUS!

Thanks for saying my family is cute!! I think so, too!!

Are you finished adjusting and spitting yet? I know that can be a long process for some of you from the testosterone group.

I got a bit busy this weekend....I had to do some major shopping, you see (for WDW of course!). And then there were Halloween parties, soccer games, all that crapola. But I am going to get on it as soon as I can! Promise!

Love the shirts. Where is yours???

Just bought some new makeup this weekend...all about the makeup conversation!

I am not going to have a shirt. You may recall that originally I was going to make shirts for each of the 5 of us to wear on our first park day...All matching. Well, then I got obsessed by the DIS custom clothing boards and now I am making THE PRINCESS some little outfits instead. They are sooo cute!! I WILL be posting pics - Promise! Pinky swear! Just not sure when I'll get to it...We leave in 6 days!!!!!!!!!! Holy mouse, Batman!

What kind of makeup did you get???? PLease tell!!!
