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

[Dancegrl624]

Mickey mail is so exciting! I am also voting for the navy shorts, and Maddie's outfit is cute!! We will also be at epcot that day, we will be eating at garden grill that day. Oh and my kids can play any lego game all day if I let them...

It certainly is the most exciting kind of mail. Thanks for your vote! Sometimes I just need some reassurance from someone besides my DH (he's not big into fashion). That is awesome that you'll be at Epcot that day. Look for me (you know what I'll be wearing!). We're eating at Garden Grill the next day. Madison really loves this lego game. She's been playing it nonstop.

Love your outfit. I think either shorts would look great. Your day 3 plans sound great!

Look how close your ticker is getting!!! I remember when we first set them up and we were worried that they weren't moving.

My shirt for Day 3 is from Target. They had a bunch of different colors, but I liked blue the best. I keep forgetting about the Seas!!!! We love Turtle Talk w/Crush and Madison has never explored the rest of the Seas (I haven't in a very long time). We are very excited about TT at night.

I Target more than words! I do serious damage every time I go in!!
Aww, the Seas is great! Definitely try to explore the aquariums this trip-- it's really interesting, fun, and great way to stay in the AC for awhile!!

I have been an updating machine lately! Today was the 1st day of ON's friends and family days (if you want a coupon, I posted one on FB or I can email you one). It is for 30% off at ON, Gap, Banana Republic and our online stores of Athelta and Piperlime. You can use the coupon once online but then as much as you want from today through the 29th. It's also good at the outlet locations. Anyways....we went shopping today for Madison, but I bought more stuff for myself! I also went to Kohl's last night for Madison and we picked up a few things last week at ON as well. Here we go!

Bought this today...Madison loves Hello Kitty and she plays soccer in the summer. Too cute.

Got this for myself and Madison (got her a small in girls and myself an XL in girls!). I liked this one better than the women's t-shirt because #1-It has sparkles and #2-The women's tees were only short sleeved. I have a lot of Bills short sleeved tees. There are many teams to choose from in all of the departments.

Just some basic long-sleeve tees

Adorable cardigan for Madison

Some basic khakis and gray yoga pants for Maddie (she loves lounge pants)

Bought this at GapKids last week...I love it!!! She looks so cute in it.

These are from Kohl's...pink cordoroy pants and black fleece pants

Also from Kohl's...waffle knit shirts

Now, my turn!

LOVE this wrap sweater! It was on sale for $20 (today is the last day as the Item of the Week at ON) and it's awesome.

I've been eyeing this cardigan for weeks! I finally bought it last week and I wore it to the Melting Pot the other night.

Bought this today too. I just adore long sweaters. They can be worn with leggings, skinny jeans...anything! It wasn't on sale, but I couldn't wait.

Can you believe that I don't own a plain black dress?! Again, not on sale but so cute. I might wear it tonight (we have Open House at my dance studio). It's a little chilly today, but I have a sweater to wear over it somewhere in my closet.

We also bought Madison 2 pairs of black shoes today. We got black flats (to wear with dresses, skirts, etc) and a pair of little black loafers (perfect for some skinny jeans and leggins). We got them at Payless with their buy one get one 1/2 off deal PLUS I had a 20% off coupon. SCORE! Now, we just need to look for some black zip boots for her. She outgrew the ones she wore last year and she just loved them.

I received my Disney Rewards card in the mail today, so that was awesome. I think we have around 35 reward points which will come in handy. Some of you have wondered why I don't post pics of Tony's daily outfits. That is because I have NO idea what he'll be wearing!!! He will just pick out a bunch of basic t-shirts the night before we leave and that's about it. He's very easy.

P.S. If you want a 30% off coupon, just PM me with your email address or look for it on FB if you're my FB friend!

Thanks! I think I'm going to wear the navy shorts. I love Epcot!

Look how close your ticker is getting!!! I remember when we first set them up and we were worried that they weren't moving.

I know!!!! It feels like I just set up my ticker but it was actually months ago. How crazy!

I Target more than words! I do serious damage every time I go in!!
Aww, the Seas is great! Definitely try to explore the aquariums this trip-- it's really interesting, fun, and great way to stay in the AC for awhile!!

Target is a dangerous place for me to be. I go in there with a simple list and then leave after spending $100. Awful!

I haven't explored the aquariums in so long. When I mentioned manatees to my DH he looked at me like I was nuts! He had no idea! It will be nice to stay in the AC for awhile too. And Madison loves sea creatures.

I am all about coupons and deals. You can buy more that way!

Cute stuff! Did they have Packers shirts like the Bills one you got? Kris is a big Packers fan and I may be tripping it out to Green Bay one of these days (I don't think I'm prepared for that kinda cold ). I like the layered shirts like that, they're cute.

Love the long sweater you got!

 

[klacey1]

Very cute shopping finds!! Of course you found something leopard for Madison! I love that GapKids sweater! I love the way sleeveless/short-sleeved sweaters look over basic long-sleeved shirts in the winter-- on little kids and adults. The wrap sweater you bought for yourself looks sooo cozy!

They do have Packers shirts (I think). They have a ton of guys stuff...t-shirts, thermals, hoodies...ridiculous. I love the faux layered shirts.

Thanks! It's SO cozy.

Thanks! Madison loves leopard print just like me. I adore the long sweater I got for her. She had one a few years ago and it was hard for me to part with it. The wrap sweater is definately cozy...it looks like it's going to be itchy, but it isn't at all.

Your Epcot plans look good. I do have a suggestion for a napping place, the Universe of Energy. It's cool, dark and 45 minutes long. I've ridden it twice and can't tell you anything about beyond the opening scene where Ellen plays Jepordy. Maybe someday I'll be able to stay awake.

Tony and Madison have never done the Universe of Energy and I haven't even see the Ellen version! I kind of refuse to do it because it eats up so much time. I should be fine without a nap and Madison and Tony hardly ever take a nap. That is a good place to nap though (and so is the American Adventure according to my DH...he totally snoozed through that one last June).

Cute clothes!! I will have to grab that coupon and go to ON tomorrow. We did a bit of shopping today and Paige wanted something else that we didn't find at Kohls.

 

[princess_momma]

First off...I LOVE LOVE LOVE the long sweater. I've been dying to get one. Can you believe I only own like 3 sweaters and I live in Colorado?! Did you get that one at ON? I may have to stop over there!

And the Bills shirt was from Kohl's right? I think I read that right...guess I'll have to go there too. I LOVE Broncos stuff.

Madison loves the 2 stunt shows, TSMM, GMR....I just wish there was more to do. Tony and Madison have the same fav...EPCOT!!!! My 2 favs are MK and Epcot.

Hmm...I must not have seen that trailer, but I got some bad-guy vibes from him for sure. I think she does want to meet him because she wants to know if he actually smells like strawberries.

I love spending times in Epcot...so much to do! Aw, thanks. I can't wait to write my TR. Time is really flying by and I can't wait.

I guess you do run out of things to do in DHS! Especially if you don't go to show after show after show. Or if you're not like me and don't ride ToT eleven times in one day!! That's probably the only way I didn't run out of things to do there!!

There is SO much to do at Epcot! I don't know what it is about Epcot but everyone I travel with always gets grumpy and snarky on our Epcot days!! I thought it was just my parents last year...but then it was again this year too!! *sigh* Maybe one day I'll experience Epcot the way it was supposed to be!

I am 95% certain I read somewhere that Lotso really smells like strawberries. In fact, I am pretty sure it was Lynn who told me. I'll have to ask her. She met him when he was first out I think. I asked the CM when I was next in line if he really smelled like strawberries and she told me I had to find out for myself. But he didn't. But I don't know if maybe I'm not a good smeller (lol) or if it wore off or what! If you guys do meet him, you'll have to let me know if I just have bad smell skills!

Thanks! I could buy up my whole store if I had the money.

I love long sweaters. How do you only own 3 sweaters?? I have a whole mess of them in my closet. It is from ON along with the wrap sweater.

The Bills shirt is from ON too. They did have Broncos ones! Here's the link to the shirts, but they have more teams then what is shown (notice, there are no Bills shirts for women but we have TONS at my store).

Hahaha...I love ToT too, but I don't know if I could ride it 11 times in one day! My legs are always shaking SO much when I get off that one.

There is SO much to do at Epcot! I don't know what it is about Epcot but everyone I travel with always gets grumpy and snarky on our Epcot days!! I thought it was just my parents last year...but then it was again this year too!! *sigh* Maybe one day I'll experience Epcot the way it was supposed to be!

There are so many things to do at Epcot. You definately need some new traveling buddies to explore all there is there. When I was younger, I wasn't the hugest fan of Epcot so I can't believe it's Madison's favorite park!

That is so neat! We will have to check him out now just to see if he smells like strawberries.

Just in case anyone missed it, here is the link to the ON NFL stuff:

ON NFL Shirts

There are more options in the store (they don't show Bills shirts for women online) so you're local store might have other shirts.

Just remembered that I haven't been updating everyone on our countdown facts! Here they are:

[swwake]

I didn't know there were official colors!!

 

[Dancegrl624]

I didn't know there were official colors!!

I didn't either until I read about it (either in the Hidden Magic book or a trivia book). Crazy!
