January 29, 2011 - 7 Day Eastern - WOOHOO!!

Good Morning!!!! I was thinking of putting each cabin in a ziplock with room number on it and then just taking them out of the bag as I deliver?????

Yes, I agree - we have seen this method many times! I prefer not to label each gift with a cabin number so that I don't have to search for the right gift for the cabin when delivering. I just take the list with me and check off each room after we gift. This works better as a 2-person operation tho

It is -27 celsius outside this morning where I am, but the sun should be shining. Man, I can't wait til the 23rd!!

-27C - where are you again???

that is cold - I cant handle anythign below -10C

 

[AverysMommy]

No problem! I'm just glad it wasn't a huge FE group I ended up needing to keep track of. For a first time FE organizer, I think this is just about enough people to keep tabs on

I agree - its a good size group.

Remind me again how this works.....we can just place the gifts at the cabins anytime over the cruise, right? no set schedule?

We are doing Budget back as well. We took a late flight (8 pm) and are going to Sea World for the day. My kid's godparents live in Lakeland (about half-way between Orlando and Tampa) and they are meeting us there. Hopefully the kids aren't so exhausted from the cruise that they whine the entire time at Sea World!!! That is why we have a car though - if it becomes too much we can just leave. I hope it is easy to get the van to buget. Plannin on sending DH and FIL to get the two cars (it was cheaper to rent 2 for the 8 of us then one van - go figure)

Budget seemed to have the best deals this time!

 

[AverysMommy]

Still have not received my other package..... Should I be worried???

if you are worried - you should just phone DIsney - they will tell you when your package was mailed to you

 

[AverysMommy]

Yes is it the Canadian way eh!!! We also spend many hours in arenas with the kids playing hockey growing up. They played until bantam then switched to competitive curling and the oldest is still curling competitively. At the curling rink you watch from behind the glass where it is warm with a nice glass of wine .

My son is still playing House League - at the Pee Wee level - I keep hoping he will quit soon but so many of his friends play hockey. He wants to referee when he turns 13.....hopefullyhe will give up playing hockey then. Its not that I dont like hockey - I do - but he has been playing since he was 4 so I am getting a bit tired of that sport. Much prefer his volleyball and soccer

 

[AverysMommy]

Got my photo up!! So nice to see everyone, hopefully more people will add photos

can someone remind me how to get in and see the pix....I loaded mine but want to see all the new ones

 

[AverysMommy]

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL! 23 MORE DAYS TIL MY MAGICAL HOLIDAY STARTS!!!! We wish you all a great day!

Happy New Year Everyone

I just have to share! I went to JoAnn's with my mom today and helped her pick out fabric for her to make me a Minnie/Disney purse and a highchair cover for DD9 mths! (I already have a shopping cart cover...but it's not DISNEY and of course it needs to be!!) I can't wait to see what it will look like!

you will have to share picture....sounds great!

LOL!!!!! I had 4 boys playing rep hockey at the same time plus hubby coached so I kinda know where you are coming from. Only 1 plays now...the rest are finished............

Oh my goodness the next 2 weeks are going to fly. I anticipate work will be extremely busy and we get to leave a few days before the cruise for WDW so you better believe I am like those kids in the commercial wishing it to come sooner!! I am pretty convinced I am the only one in my house that is this excited. My kids are, but not like mommy!!

Did anyone watch Undercover Boss tonight?

all ofus are excited too - but I am the only one that understands how much is to be done before we go - Kids are great - they just get into the car when its time to go and amazingly everything is ready to go - they dont see allthe organizing behind hte scenes!!

Thats the trick of being a great Mom I guess
