I'm Not Riding THAT! A Trip With Character! Piper's Wish Trip 3/2-8 - Upd-4/20

Awww what a nice welcome home package!!
I was laughing about Piper in the cockpit!! I would have been intimidated by all of those buttons too!! Very cool that she got to go up there and take a peek though!
Hmmm Bojangles I just looked and the closest one to me is in Reading PA about 3 hours away
Glad the snow didn't deter you by much Can't wait for your arrival update...do we really have to wait until tomorrow?

What a GREAT surprise !!!!!

 

[cajunfan]

Yeah for welcome home packages!

And YEAH! for getting my Trip Report "fix" for the day! Thanks Amanda!

Yipee!! She got her surprise! I take she likes the iCarly shirt. And now she and Aleks can match while writing letters to each other. Only to a 9 year old would that truly make any sense whatsoever! Glad she liked it all. Its nice to surprise kiddos sometimes when they least expect it.

Aleks got her tutu yesterday and wore it most of the day. That was her surprise. Davy got a cool no sew pillow, made by yours truly! He drags it around everywhere. Aleks wants to make tutus now too! HA! Mommy daughter Big Give time, here we come!

P.S. - guess who decorated the outside of the box?!? DH that's who!!! LOL! I always knew he was a softy! He wrote the welcome home Piper in pink and purple and drew Minnie Mouse princess ears all over it!! I love him!

What a nice welcome home package! The mailman is going to need something else to do when he is done delivering all of Miss Piper's packages!

 

[cantwaittoseemickey]

What a great surpise!!!

 

[dawnbu40]

A welcome home gift?! How thoughtful and what a great suprise!

 

[eandesmom]

aw, what a lovely idea!!!

 

[pipersmom]

Trying to be patient, but can't wait to read more. I too am wondering about the downgrade.

Only one more day to get through!

I'm so glad your flight made it out! That's so funny about Piper not wanting to sit in the pilot's seat!

Sorry about the ticket/security fiasco! I'm glad it all worked out - thank goodness for cell phones!

Without cell phones we would have been up the proverbial creek..I didn't even think about that until you mentioned it!!

And Yay for welcome home packages!! That was so nice of Xanphylus and Aleks!!

We love Jenn and Aleks! It was a super surprise for Piper! (Mommy knew about it, but kept her mouth shut..hooray!)

Yes..less than 24 hrs to go though! It was an swesome package! She was too funny in the cockpit! 3 hrs, huh? As much as I like their biscuits, 3 hrs may be a stretch!

What a GREAT surprise !!!!!

She loved it, Rosie!

I posted that just for you, Lynn Okay..not really..but I thought that might make you feel special.. Seriously though, I figured I better give you all a fix before you came after me!

Piper loved it, Jenn, thank you again! I need to find the tutu thread. Now..as for that hub of yours..give him a great big smooch for me and then come back and tell me how much he blushed when you tell him where it came from!

Thanks, Mandy! Good luck with the PTR..if you get through every page I may have to give you a prize!

I have to admit, we have kept the mailman pretty busy the past couple of months! Have to wonder what the post office was thinking with all those packages! It was very cool. :

What a great surpise!!!

It was a great surprise..Piper was like "But my trip is over..." when she got another one!

A welcome home gift?! How thoughtful and what a great suprise!

It was an extremely good idea on Jenn's part, hopefully it can become a new part of the Give.

aw, what a lovely idea!!!

It was a very nice cure for the PDD! Although, we were both happy to be home, and are still commenting on the trip daily!

Lol! I will have to do that later tonight! We just had family day and everyone is all wired up. Gotta do bath time and movie and bed! Church in the morning and I am the only adult going with both kids- DH works, and Nana said no- so its all me and I work in the baby room tomorrow...... sigh! It will all workout though- always does.

Glad Piper liked it though- her face was priceless. Even DH liked that pic. I made him look!

 

[MickeyisBeast]

I'm joining in!
Piper is too cute
Looking forward to more!

You sound like you've had a busy weekend! I have to admit, when I saw that pic, I was impressed with myself for capturing it! You could just see the excitement and everything she was feeling on her face! :

Thank you..she can be very cute, and there are lots of cute pics to come! She was just all smiles on this trip! Okay..90% smiles..at least!

 

[kdzbear]

I finally realized that you started a separate trip report from your PTR! I love the pictures of Piper with the limo driver. The airport ordeal would have worn me out! I am glad that you ended with making it to Orlando. I can't wait to read more!

 

[Nettaboo]

AWWW you tricked me!! When I saw the title I thought it was a trip update!! BUT the smile and excitement on Piper's face more than made up for it!

 

[yinyanggirls]

Hurray for a boring flight! And how cute was Piper's reaction to the Captain's seat?!?
I asked DH tonight if he's going to quit again before we leave. He has a scrip but stopped taking it and started smoking again. I don't want him grumpy on our trip, but the kids are not allowed to see him smoke and he's not leaving me alone with them, so....

What a fun welcome home package! I'd love to see the two girls matching.

 

[VroomVroomLightning]

I am loving the updates so far! I have a family function to attend all day long today so as soon as I get home I will be checking for an update!! Hope you and Piper have a wonderful Sunday!
