Super-cute! I see he likes to play Xbox360 until he falls asleep, just like my boyfriend! Only about 190 pounds lighter... :rotfl:

And my dog, Oreo, is about 25 pounds, he's a mutt - but about the size of a cocker spaniel (he's part cocker spaniel, but that's all we know.) When he was a baby though, he was 3 pounds, and we had a little purse we took him for walks in... until he ate it.

Yep...a little Madden 10 will do it to him!! I wanted him to be a 3 lber and a girl!! My hubby got neither right...but I BEGGED for a yorkie for about a year...and he suprised me with Legend last year!! My DH is soo sweet sometimes!! :love:

8 DAYS!!!

My DH called me this morning (he works overnights) and said "When do we leave for Disney?" :confused:

When I said next Friday...he couldn't believe it. Now the pressure is on...he has to get the car tuned up and the oil change done!! Thats the only thing on his list...other than drive 13.5 hrs... :rotfl:

The summer went by sooooo fast!! I can't believe it is almost here!! I have some things to pick for the boys...but I want to make sure it is stuff that they can still wear to school as well!! I will be hitting up Kohl's and Burlington this weekend for them.

I will post more later tonight!

I am in the process of begging for a dog now... :lmao:

I want a 5/8 lb female Shih Tzu I want to name her Lady. Then I want a boy and his name will be Tramp.

Wonder if you could package some of that "sweet sometimes" and send it to me would love to use a little on my hubby to speed up the process. He is sweet and he spoils me so I know I will get the dogs but I kinda want them NOW!!! :lmao:

Legend is a cutie pie.....he looks so snuggly

Yes he is a cutie pie!! He is VERY snuggly...loves to sleep with anyone in the house. I am going to try and take him to the groomers today...then I will take some more pictures of him and post them.

I was so shocked that my DH got him for me...he WAS against little dogs. He actually wants a pitbull :sad2:

. I will settle for an American bulldog though. When all is said and done we will have like 3 dogs...I am getting my
3lb GIRL yorkie!! :lmao:

Hey there!
I am not sure...I think so.

Yeah ~ We have been going back and forth about it. I figured it would be a geat way to end the trip!!

No the arrows just show the travel days and that we are driving our car all week and not using Didney transportation!

tinkerbell3747 · Aug 24, 2009

Wow! Great progress on your to do list love the shirts and planning chart.

Time is coming up so quickly now..... :banana:

nu2wdisneyw · Aug 25, 2009

We have 3more sleeps before we are on the road to Disney!! :woohoo:

I have so much to do...however I have accomplished a lot on my list already. I am going to have mulitple posts tonight because I want to finishing posting our tour plans. So I amy post day 4 and 5 tonight.

The boys stil have no idea what's going on!! My sister is going to have them over her house on Friday so my DH can sleep and I can finish packing and do some last minute running around. We are going to have the car all packed before we go to get them, that way they won't see the suitcases!! :rolleyes1

We will wake them up and just have them get in the car, they will think we are driving to Rochester...because that's how we always do them when we are going home!! I am tto excited. I can't believe it's almost here! Well on to my to-do list:

:thumbsup2
