[tinytreasures]

I cannot believe we are just over two weeks away from our trip!!! I cannot wait! Gotta start thinking of what to pack....any unusual thing I should bring that I probably won't think of??? Open to suggestions!!!

Zip lock bags for keeping stuff dry and sticking stuff in.

WOO HOO!!!!!

Gum? Baggies? Suntan Lotion? small cooler bag? extra battery for your camera? coins for the tolls on the way to GKTW from the airport? lol

Walmart is just down the street - you'll pass it every day!! Dont fret!!

Everyone has such great ideas.

Since you are flying and might not have a ton of room in the suit case you could just take a towel from the hotel. We used to take a towel from the hotel to sit on at the parks during parades. It also came in handy for drying off wet kids (in case they decide to run in the fountains. We also used it to hang over the stroller to block the sun in case someone fell asleep, as a light blanket to block the sun and to put over laps when eating Mickey bars (those things always drip). My mom would also take a washcloth at the hotel, wet it with warm water and put it in a ziplock bag. It worked great for wiping sticky hands or dirty faces. Hmmm, can you tell my kids are messy. We would just bring them back to the hotel each day and get fresh ones for the next day.

We always bought our ponchos at the camping section in Walmart or Target. They are about $1 each but seemed to be packed smaller then the ones that I found at Dollar Tree. You can probably get more at the Walmart in Orlando if you use them up, I'm not sure if there stock gets low. I would bring one to the park for each person and maybe an extra. I've never done this at Disney but I used to leave them in the pocket on my stroller and I covered it with a ponch once for a run to the car from the mall when it was pouring rain. You can go into a store and borrow scissors if Jackson needs to wear one and it is too big.

LOLLIPOPS - I think my son must have eaten 50 of these during our visit when he was 3 years old. My mom kept passing them out to him while we were waiting in lines or as a bribe to get him to go back in the stroller. She was his best friend that week.

Can you tell I'm an overpacker??? The security guards probably cringe when they see me coming with all my stuff.

You guys are going to have so much fun!!!

2 more Big Gives today.

We got home and Jackson ran to the porch to see if anything was there, and he was very disappointed that nothing was there, almost in tears. We went into the garage and there were two packages by the garage door. HE WAS ECSTATIC.

The first package we opened was from an unnamed donor from Athens TN. They are the cutest crocheted mickey hats and mickey and minnie pins. THE CUTEST I tell you!

The second package was from Cogero. It was acompanied by a letter and a painting from her daughter. They made us some VERY CUTE Wish Trip shirts. It just so happened that nannie and pawpaw (my parents) were here so we all tried them on and took a photo.

THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!

Kade is smiling!!

Nannie, Pawpaw, Annette, the boys and yes Me!

These are the pillow cases and blanket from last friday.
