"I Want To Go Back!!!"....a Sept 2010 PTR(upd 10/12-TR Started!)

[jenny105]

You already know I got the same striped tanks as you minus the teal! I love the dresses you got!! They're so colorful. I love Kohl's too. They have a lot of cute stuff!

I like the calendar idea. If one of my nephews was coming with us, that'd be such a good idea but I don't think I can get a bunch of 20 and 30 somethings to do that.

 

[Mndisneygirl]

OH, cute purchases! I think you should wear dress #1 to the beach wedding. It's very flowy looking! Like the waves.

Those tanks are cute too.

I'm definitely going to do the calendars. Let the girls have their own. Then I'll do a chain for 30 days and surprise them with that. Thanks for providing the calendar link!

I like dress #1 also for the wedding...love the flowiness (a word?) of it!! And the calendars are great..I will have to do a ton of those!! One for each of us!!! I know the younger 2 will want one..not sure about ds14..he may be too old for that...but I want to do one myself!!!

Cute purchases! I absolutely love all of the Disney tees at ON and think I may need to go ahead and get some. I was hoping they would go on sale at some point soon. Lily would love the Jesse one after this last trip! You totally have me aching to go there now, but alas, I have to head off to work in a bit.

I love the countdown calendars! I think that ended up being a good idea since you had 99 days to get through!

Wonderful purchases! I've been debating going to ON but I think I'll pass. We did hit the $1 flip flop sale a few weeks ago.

Your calenders look great. I'm going to have to remember then for the future.

Thanks! ON was a bit of a mess this morning and when I drove by this afternoon, it was still crazy! I can't believe you went to the $1 flip flop sale! I heard my store was a nut house.

Thank you. We had a lot of fun coloring them together this morning.

Great minds think alike! I just love how bright the colors are. So summery. Thanks! Kohl's had a TON of cute dresses. I must have tried on between 10-15 yesterday.

Yeah, I don't think you could get your friends to sit and color Disney calendars. That would be pretty funny though!

Thanks! I'm definately leaning towards #1 as well. I don't like the look of brown with silver sandals. I'll just save dress #2 for one of my fall weddings. #1 is a bit more beach-y looking.

I adore tank tops! I had to re-fold my entire tank top drawer today to make room for the new ones. Yes, I have an entire drawer devoted to just tank tops.

Your girls will have a lot of fun with the calendars. Lots of characters to choose from and very easy to print up.

Thanks Shawna! I'll probably end up wearing #1 to the wedding next month. I can't wait!

I know little G will LOVE to color her own calendars. Me and Madison had a blast this morning. It was nice to sit together, relax and just color. I'm pretty happy I printed 2 of each month so I could have my own.

Thank you! I love that ON started selling Disney tees. They were all buy one get one a few Saturdays ago. The Toy Story ones are $8 this week (in honor of TS3), but it might only be for the big girls and boys...not sure about the toddler sizes. There are definately a lot more to choose from in the toddler sizes though. The Jessie t-shirt was the only girl size one.

The calendars are going to work out so well. Much easier than cutting out 100 Mickey head paint chips or cutting out 100 links for a chain. I think 30 days for a countdown chain will be plenty.

Awesome purchases!! My DD is wearing the same shirt to TS3 Precious calendar!

 

[seamama71]

Love your latest purchases! The dresses are really cute - I love Kohl's!
And thanks much for the calendar link. Now I can't decide if we'll do calendars or a big Mickey head like you did on your last trip! Both are so cute

 

[lexmas]

Great shopping, you got tons of amazing stuff! (I thought you said you were going to cut back on that? )

Funny, I had read your update yesterday and just didn't get time to respond. Then I hopped on today and everyone said they liked dress #1 for a beach wedding, and I was like, NO, I LOVE dress 2! ... But then I hopped back to your post and realized that dress 1 was actually the dress that I liked, I just was sure you had posted them in the opposite order. So, all is right in my world now.

 

[Sleepingbooty]

Okay, I guess I'm going to have to register at Old Navy online or something, since you always seem to mention these great sales AFTER they happen!

Sounds like you got some great buys. I recently bought those same flowered tank tops for Lucy (for $5, cough cough)

The calendars sound like a good way to fill the time until the 30 day mark. We always start our countdown chain at 30 days. I may do something different this year, I don't know. In the past, we've used three colors of strips: The first 10 days will be one color, the second ten another, etc. So you can really visualize your progress. And on the back of each chain I write some kind of fun activity that we can do together after we tear off the link. That way, we kind of look forward to each day's surprise activity, and not just the trip at the end. Stuff like, give each other manicures, go for a walk, play a board game, go out for ice cream. The last one is always: Pack for Disney!

Awesome purchases. I vote for dress #1

Thanks! They had so many dresses to choose from. Thank goodness I didn't like the way most of them looked once I had them on or I would have bought 10!

The Mickey Head was a lot of fun. It was something different and it was fun to add things to our big Mickey head insteaad of taking them off.

I did say I was going to cut back and I've been good for awhile (I think) but Friday brought out the shopaholic in me!

Hahahaha....that's funny. I'm about 99% sure I'm going to wear dress #1 to the beach wedding. Dress #2 will be perfect for my fall weddings.

You can sign-up for emails from ON, you just need to head over to their website. Aren't those girls tank tops so cute? 2 for $10 isn't a bad deal on tanks. I think the sale yesterday was a better deal for the womens tanks. They're normally $8.50/tank or 2 for $15.

The calendars should be a lot of fun. We can't wait to start crossing off days tomorrow! For our chain, I'm going to put fun facts, trivia, etc on the back. The Mouse For Less has downloads for the front of the chains with Disney characters on the front.

Thanks! I just love that Jessie t-shirt and we can't wait until Friday!

Awesome purchases. I vote for dress #1

Thank you! Dress #1 is what I'll be wearing in July.

Thank you!

Love the Disney calendars-- perfect way to get into the spirit/count down! I love ON's tanks! $2 is a steal-- $1.50 is just crazy!! It honestly must be so dangerous for you to work there!! Employee discounts are so tempting!

 

[jenniferkeala808]

cute purchases! I like both of those dresses for the wedding! And i just love those calenders! madison did a great job! Can't wait to hear more! You're almost there!

Thank you. We're so excited to cross off our first day today! Working at ON is definately not good for my wallet. The discount is really great, espeically around Christmastime!

Thank you! I love flowy dresses so I had to buy both of them. The calendars were a lot of fun to make. I'm so excited to share all of my planning with all of you!

 

[jenjolt]

Love your purchases!!! You just reminded me that I need to get some trading pins from ebay soon LOL!!!! I want some for October LOL!!! For some reason your update also reminded me that I need to do some shopping at Disney Online LOL!!!

What great deals you have and I love that TS3 shirt...too cute!!! Those dresses are gorgeous Meg you will look fantastic in either one!!!!

Love the countdown calendar idea...very very cute!!!

Like I said, people won't have any trouble spotting me in a crowd when I wear those. Unless every other girl thought like us and got them too.

No way, they already think I'm nuts because I know which parks we're going to each day. I can only imagine the look I'd get if I handed them a calendar and said 'Color this.'

 

[Lovemy3babes]

I like your purchases. You have really cute taste. If I worked at ON, I don't think I'd ever bring home a paycheck. It would all go right back to the store. Love that place. LOL!!

Thanks Jen! I got our confirmation email today from the seller with the tracking number. Madison can't wait to see her new pins! I was looking at the Disney store online today! I almost bought Maddie a few tank tops (they are only $4.99).

I'm definately always on the look out for deals. I can buy more that way! Aw, thanks.

We love our countdown calendars. It was great crossing off that first day this morning.

Very true! Let's hope you're the only one at Disney wearing hot orange!

I definately don't think it's nuts that you know which parks you're going to on which day. I understand that not everyone gets all the planning that Disney trips take, but if you don't plan out your days, how do you know what to wear?

I like your purchases. You have really cute taste. If I worked at ON, I don't think I'd ever bring home a paycheck. It would all go right back to the store. Love that place. LOL!!

Thanks! I honestly don't even know how much my paychecks are for. My checks get directly deposited every other week and I have paperless statements. Is that horrible? My DH knows exactly how much they are for since he works for the bank. I could always ask him, but then again, it doesn't really bother me. All of my money (and more) goes towards my purchases. Plus, I've had an Old Navy credit card since I was about 18.
