So Liam officially started school yesterday. (I can't believe how fast they grow up) The teacher was real busy so I was unable to talk to her very much. I was able to talk to the nurse though. She still had the 504 plan in the file so she was going to email the teacher with what she needed to know. We went to pretty great lengths last year, I wanted to make sure everything was covered. The plan mentions needing a water bottle with him, needing to step out of room is he has a coughing fit, using nurses bathroom if he is more comfortable when he has a BM, having an extra set of books at home so he doesn't have get over tierd lugging books home for school work, and other things that doen't come to mind right now. I plan on writing my own email to the teacher to let her know about the wish trip and a few other things I think she needs to know about my son. (Sorry this was so long.)

Weather has been horrible over here. It rained yesterday morning and is actually raining right now. Luckily it stoped in the afternoon and we were able to go to Six Flags and have some fun. The kids went on almost every kiddy ride they had open. I even went on a few rollercoasters. Kids had a great time. Two memorible momments is when Foghorn Leghorn tried to climb into the double stoller.and at one point the song that is in Madagascar (Move it I think it is called) started playing and Aidan started dancing in the stroller and putting his hands up. Too cute.

Today is Liam's first full day of school. Hopefully everything is going well.

Thank you for your email. I actually learned something from you. I liked the ideal of having an extra set of books at home. My DW's bookpack is so heavy each day. With the damage that the tumor did to his back he has back pain from time to time. I never thought about leaving a book at home. I carry his backpack into the school and encourage not to put it on his back. But thank you for sharing that. I believe I am going to talk to his teacher about that.

I am glad we were able to help. Hopefully the teacher is willing to work with you.

Just recieved a packet from MaW. It has our flight times and limo pick-up time. 5:15 in the morning. That means I have to wake up at 4 in the morning to do Liam's treatment, do some last minute arranging, and get the kids up. I need to try to go to bed early the night before but something tells me that I am not going to get much sleep.

I also recieved a Chase Visa card. I have already activated it but as of right now there is no balance. There is a piece of paper I need to sign and send back to verify that I recieved it, I assume that the money will be moved into the account when the recieve that paper.

Just two weeks, I can't believe it.

Ohhhhh! That's so exciting!! I know the early time is crazy but will be so worth it. When our trip comes up we'll have to get up like that too (the ONLY part I'm not looking forward too...dd is NOT a morning person). This awesome trip will be here before you know it!

 

[kdzbear]

Yeah for flight times! The kids can't wait to meet your kids. I realized today that I have less than two weeks to make costumes! I think I will go to the fabric store tomorrow!

I know what you mean. I think I need to do the same thing.

 

[Matt1026]

Oh I am excited to hear you have flight times. It is getting so exciting isn't it. I was sharing with my DH today that one week from today we will be waking up in sunny Florida. And you will not be far behind!!! Yeah

 

[StefaniLyn]

I am so excited for you!!!! Just two weeks

I've been gone all weekend to a family wedding but I can't wait to catch up on your PTR tonight after the kids are all in bed!

What a crazy day today.

First of all I recieved a phone call from my mom at work today telling me that there were 4 packages waiting for us on the front porch.

Next when I got home the packet from GKTW was waiting for us.

Last but not least I recieved a call from on of the wish volenteers. She was able to answer all my questions about the packet we recieved a couple of days ago and told me that she planned to get together on Thursday with our goodie bags and finale itenerary.

Now for the great honor of being able to share our Big Give's.

First one was from Princess Kirsta and her Fairy Godmother Aunt Sally.
The package was in a perfect Mickey Mouse envelope and was addressed to Prince Aidan. Love it!!!! He was so excited about the Mickey Mouse book that he got mad at me when I tried to take it was so I could get a pic.

The second package was from gcast1 and filled with lots of goodies for everyone. The crayon roll-ups were a great hit. I must admite that my mom is already planning on stealing one so she can make a pattern off of it.

Package #3 was from Tygansmom and also filled with lots of pixie dust. Mia is already playing with her fairy wand, Aidan loves his ball and cars, and Liam. . .well he loved EVERYTHING

Than came Package #4. The only thing I can say about package #4 is WOW.
It came from Princess Sarahliz and is completly magical. Words can not despribe. So as they say, a picture speaks a thousand words.

I could only post 25 pics in my last post, but I loved this so much that I thought it deserved it's own space.

The last pic is my favorite. Princess Mia twirling around in her enchanting Cinderella dress.​

Thank you so much people from the Big Give. We loved everything and the special words you enclosed also warmed our heart.

 

[StefaniLyn]

WOWEEEEE! What an incredible day for your family! Those Big Give people are so incredibly creative and generous! Thanks for sharing the pictures

Yesterday was another DMFN.
Yesterday we watched
The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Things have been kind of crazy this last week so I wasn't able to plan anything. I tried to keep things with a French theme, but not sure my choices actually were french.

We had Chicken Kiev, French cut Green beans, and oven backed and seasoned potatoe pieces. For desert we had french vanilla ice cream.

Sorry no picks, I can't find my charger and the battery died. I hope to find it when I get home tonight. Hopefully i didn't leave it in Missouri.

Next weeks Finale DMFN is
Mulan

It is going to nice and simple next week.
Can anyone say Chinese take out.

 

[Matt1026]

Mia looked beautiful in her dress. These Big Givers are so very talented. Their work is amazing. All of the Big Give looked awesome!!! I know the kids must be getting so excited and you too!!!! It is getting so close!! Can you believe it!

 

[Corrine 1973]

Today we recieved another wonderful Big Give.

This one was for Mia. Not exactly sure who it was from, so thank you very much. Mia loves the outfit very much and thanked you over and over again. You can't see it in the picture, but the linning of the skirt matches Tinkerbells dress. Beautiful!!

 

[kdzbear]

Mia's outfit is so cute! My littlest loves Tinkerbell. She looks so beautiful! Ten more days!

I know. Are you as excited as I am? I think I am even more excited than the kids because I have a better concept of time then they do. I even made myself a count down calander for work. I know, how much of a geek am I.

 

[kdzbear]

I am right there with you with the excitement thing! It is so hard to keep the Cinderella lunch from the oldest. I know she will be surprised since I keep telling her it takes 2 dining credits so we can't go. I went to Home Depot (where we live since the move) and got a bunch of the Mickey Head paint chip samples. My 9 year old numbered them and then we hole punched them and hung them on curling ribbon. She gets to take one off each day. They are hanging from the fireplace. I look over at it frequently!
