That looks great! I know they'll love it!

I am sure they will appreciate it...now I just need to burn it to a DVD.

 

[tinkerbell3747]

Thank you...I have seen some that are more elaborate, but I feel this will do the job for my boys!

I think what I loved the most is that it's so personal....it wasn't just your surprise we going to disney type fare..allbeit I have seen others that were also pretty great this one just seemed to touch me a little depper..... You reminded them of all the events that occured over their summer and no doubt they will remeber them again while watching this.....they are going to remember THIS summer for a lifetime I am sure. After all its on DVD

We leave in:
9 days!!!​

[DisneymoonJess07]

We're in 11 - can you believe it?!?!

 

[nu2wdisneyw]

We're in 11 - can you believe it?!?!

I know that my tickers says 10 days...but we actually leave on the 4th because we are driving...so I kind of trick myself into believe that we only have 9 days to go!!

 

[oregonmommyof2]

I have decided to live vicariously through you for the next 9 days... We still have 27 so in 9 days that will put me at 18... Then if I find someone else who I can live through to get me to single digits, I will be a happy camper...

I am ready to leave right now... My suitcases are packed and I would just have to put all of the electronics in our backpacks, then we would be good... Think I can find a flight that leaves in like 5 hours???

Well being that we are not in single digits before we leave, I thought I would posts updates as they happen. So let revist my to do list:

Create a master spreadsheet to hang on the fridge at SSR
Start packing the boy’s clothes; figure out what is left to buy (still have a few things that I need to get for them...made another list)
Make arrangements for Legend…oh yeah I need to introduce the other member of our family.
Rethink/write our grocery list now that we are in SSR
Order trading pins from Ebay (just waiting for them to arrive)
Start packing my clothes to determine what I need
Finish making the surprise DVD for the car ride…thanks OregonMommy for the music!!
Gather all the PSP & GB games up…order more GB games from Ebay
Print mapquest directions to compare with the gps.
• Finish Touring Plans – print and laminate
• Get Jeff’s clothes together to see what he wants to take.
• Make t-shirts – about 10 total
• Make ID cards for the boys
• Make LGMH
• Purchase camera…and test it out prior
• Make journals for Jeffery…figured it would give him something to take to school to share his experience.
• Clean the house!!! I want to go through all of the closets and get rid of things we don’t need.
• Braid my hair…going to be too hot to deal with everyday.
• Get oil change and tune-up.

• 
  [*]Get swimming trunks for DH
  [*]Water misting fans from Walmart
  [*]Go to outlet mall to get Crocs for me & the boys
  

As you can see I added a few more things to the bottom of my list.... I have a list pad with me so as I think of things I write them down so that I will remember them. I just can't believe that we are in single digits. I am deep cleaning my bathrooms tonight and taking a bunch of stuff to the goodwill.

I am getting so excited!!

 

[wdwgirl03]

Yay for single digits!

 

[nu2wdisneyw]

I just checked in online!!! It was a breeze!!

 

[tinkerbell3747]

Good for you!

Online check IMO sounds like the way to go!

That's what happens when you try to book the same day!

 

[ZeroToHero]

Sounds like your list is a go!

So who is Legend?

 

[Goofy22]

Cool! I also did online check in and thought the same thing!

Thanks Danica for reminding me!!

Well there is another member of our household that I have failed to introduce...and here he is:

This is Legend our 1 1/2 yrs old Yorkshire Terrier. And he is not your average Yorkie either. He is 9 lbs, and is very fiesty. Definitley not a purse puppy...which is what I wanted by the way!! I love him so much though. He is so happy and is SPOILED rotten. As you can see he is sleeping on the couch like that is where he is supposed to be!

I will post more pictures of him later. I am posting from work so I had to get this one from my phone!
