I'm old enough to be a GREAT Aunt? Ah well, take them to Disney!!

[pinkxray]

OK, I'm officially BUMMED!!! BLT is OUT of military discounts for our time frame!! BOO!!!! So...I was able to get the treehouse, so that's the next best thing I guess. Little more room with the extra bedroom, but we do lose one bathroom. Not the end of the world I guess, and if we gotta drive everywhere, oh well!! I'm not sure I wanna rely on transportation to and from the parks with ADR's on the line!

Sorry to hear about BLT. That's got to be tough when you have been looking forward to it for so long. The treehouses do sound pretty cool though.

 

[bouncycat]

They were my second choice. We can drive everywhere to eat and stuff, we're taking my car and DH's car, and I just got my handicapped parking pass!! Not sure if woohoo is in order....cause I didn't want the darn thing, but it'll work I'm sure!! Getting new glasses for me and Tyler this afternoon, going for the transitions lenses, so we don't have to fumble with sunglass covers and stuff, so should be nice too!!!

I'll take the treehouse, no worries there! It's just that we had our heart set on watching the fireworks from the balcony, and now we can't, but that's alright I guess!

 

[bouncycat]

We are officially booked!!! WOOHOO!!! 4 nights in the THV, with deluxe dining with Amanda and them kiddos!! I can't wait!

woooohoooo I'm glad you got all booked, sad that you weren't able to get BLT like you wanted, but the THV were on your list too. I think we are either going ASSp or CSR with the ddp and Tyler coming along! The rooms at OKW and BW were just too much when we added him and the ddp. We have to buy his ticket too and pay for Niko to stay at the kennel.

COOL!!! Maybe I'll get to meet him this time!!! LOL Yea, I'm bummed about BLT, but we'll drive everywhere, I got my handicapped parking thingie yesterday, so bring on the driving!!! I HATED having to walk so far from the parking lots at poly, and WL when we went with Sami in October, so up front is the way to go! We have one in each car!!! HEEHEE!!! so driving everywhere won't be a big deal. I was worried! Tyler and I got our eyes done, and our new glasses ordered, they'll be in next week. We got the transitions lenses!! I'm soooo happy about that!!!

Little time out for those who don't follow me on facebook, or anywhere else, I mentioned a while ago that I finished the Mickey cross stitch, and I just got it back from the framers today, and holy cow!! It turned out AWESOME!!!

time to start Puppy Love next!!!!!

 

[pinkxray]

The cross stitch of Mickey came out great. I love it!

Thanks Pink!!! I spent pretty much all of last year working on it....I figured out there was over 30,000 stitches in that thing!!! Every last bit is stitched! But it was fun to do, and after my birthday, I'll probably start the next one. Heading down to Miami tomorrow to see the hubby....so that should be fun!

 

[bouncycat]

So I found out the other day that Amanda actually preferred the treehouse!! Go figure!! LOL She said the fireworks were a bummer, not being able to see them from the room, but we'll make do. DH is excited about the treehouse too!! if I knew that, I coulda saved a bit of headaches!! LOL And the treehouse saves us about $600!! LOL

 

[racefanof88]

Hey Girl .

I see that you and Tyler got your new glasses; me and my Tyler have got to go get our eyes examined and get some too. I wear my contacts about 75% of the time so transition lenses would be a waste of money for me, but Tyler could use them.

On saving $600. That pays for a couple of tickets or you could take that $600 and go on the fireworks cruise. You could also make a ressie at one of the restaurants where you can view the fireworks and pay for it oop with the savings. Now, if Chris is like Dale that $600 will stay in the bank though..........

I hope Tyler will come with us. We will have to see how much we get back in income tax to make the final decision on where we stay. Our income tax return is our vacation money.

 

[bouncycat]

Yep, ours is gonna be too. Love income tax season!! We paid off and caught up on everything with the bonus, we have some left, but hanging on to it. Yep, Chris will want that $600 to go towards something else, like tips and such, since we got a bunch of TS ressies. Chris might be bringing his roommate up for ESPN the weekend, I got a ressie at 50's prime time for dinner that saturday, I think it's the weekend of the 3rd to the 6th of march. Tyler doesn't like that place for the antics, but he'll live I'm sure!! LOL I think we're going over monday, I always like spending my birthday over there, and it's on sunday, so we'll pop over monday. Then next saturday we're going to see HP!!! I'm ready for that one LOL

 

[bouncycat]

So, yesterday was my birthday, and had some part of the family over....got a few pictures LOL And got some more shopping for the trip done too, but we'll get to that shortly!!! Here's one of Chris and our lab puppy, I swear it looks like she's smiling!! LOL

And the cake...

Me with the cake before I blew out the big 3-7 LOL Chris and Tyler kept swapping them, making it 7-3!!! Uh, not THAT old yet!!!

some of the family, a couple of brothers made it, and my dad and step mom!

Was fun, the food was awesome, and a great way to spend a birthday!!! [/SIZE][/SIZE]

 

[bouncycat]

Now, back to the shopping part!! LOL

This is Tyler's arrival shirt, since we're going to DHS on a SWW day, I'm picking out SW shirts for everyone!! Gives me another reason to get more shirts!!

This one is Andrews!!

This one is Jon's.

we got this as one of those things where you purchase $40 in stuff, get this for $15.95, it's a pin set, never seen a pin set that cheap, and couldn't pass it up!! Not sure WHO it's going to, haven't figured that one out yet!!

these are the boots I just got today, they're my birthday present!! NICE boots!!!!!

That's it for now, as I get more stuff, I'll take pictures and post it. We're off to see the new Harry Potter world on Saturday, so of course I'll take LOTS of pictures!!!!!!

 

[pinkxray]

Happy belated Birthday!

It looks like you had a nice party.

I love all the Star Wars Shirts!

I love your boots too.

I hope you have a great time at WWOHP. It looks awesome!

Thanks Pink!!! I think I got pretty good taste!!! if nothing else them kids are gonna be very spoiled and well dressed!!!

I'll take lots of pictures saturday. Gotta go buy them tickets!! LOL

 

[bouncycat]

Got the tickets yesterday at the base, want to do a yard sale tomorrow, but looks like rain, so that may need to be nixed. We'll see how it is in the morning!

Another note, my old guy I've been helping, some of you know this, been driving him around doing errands and seeing his wife that's in the hospital, well, she passed away this morning. I'm sooo sad for him!!! But, I'll continue to be there for him, I knew him from the bank, and for some reason we just kinda clicked, so I contacted him away from the bank, and found out he needed help. I'm a sucker for nice sweet old people. So please pray for him, he's like 83 years old, and his kids aren't much help, so pray he gets the strength to get thru this. I'll be there for him as much as he needs me to. I didn't know his wife, but am still so sad!!!

 

[bouncycat]

Lordy someone stop me!! I found a Joovy sit and stand stroller today for $80!! It is used, but doesn't look real worn down, and it's green, Amanda's favorite color!!!! I also got a used outfit for Sara, it has Lilo on it, and a cute skort thing with it. That'll be good for the day we go SEE Lilo at Ohanas!! I'm just happy that the stroller thing is over and done with LOL

 

[bouncycat]

I got pictures uploaded, and will post them and a full day trip report to US and IOA this afternoon!! Gonna take pictures of the new outfit and stroller too, so I can post those!! I'm sooooo proud of myself for finding that stroller!! LOL So, stay tuned, pictures to start popping up later today!!

 

[racefanof88]

WOW--great deal on the stroller!! It is really bittersweet to me that we don't have to worry about that stuff anymore. I guess next time I worry about it I will be a grandmother.

Well, I am a great Aunt, kinda like a grandma!!! I need to find time to work on my WWHP trip report, you saw the pictures on facebook, but need to put the story with it here LOL. I think I have a day off from Mr Zima tomorrow, so I'll clean my room and take pictures of the stroller. I'm just soooo darn proud of myself for that!!! I know, I'm a dork!! LOL But $80 is SOOOO much cheaper than we woulda paid thru disney or thru orlando stroller rentals. I was looking at OSR at almost $200, and disney almost $300!!! So $80 isn't bad at all, and they can keep the darn thing!! LOL I know Sara will use it, but want the back part there for Andrew if he needs it. Amanda was SOOOO funny, we were on Skype the other night, Sara was fussy and in her pack and play behind the camera, I could see her and all, I guess she kept Amanda up the night before, so Sara wasn't getting any love so to speak LOL I called Sara's name out, she got quiet, looked at me and started Jabbering. It was SOOOOO Cute!!!! Amanda looked at her and said "see this face? This is the face that will save you for a week" and you better believe it. I already told Amanda It'll be hard for me to put that baby down!!! I LOVE babies!!!! Especially when I can spoil them and give them back!!!
