Life’s too short...to never sleep in a treehouse! 8/27 TR is up! Link in siggie

I could never keep the secret... I would explode at one point!!

Ah, the agony of too many shoes...

Kathy

NO explosion yet but Jeff has come close to blowing it and at this point a few too many people are in on it so it could blow up (baseball coaches, TKD coaches...my family...

The real question is can I stall Evan until Saturday under the guise of "I haven't washed them yet" for the new pj's I bought him today...that I plan to just send straight to the suitcase.

I couldn't imagine going anywhere with less than 5 pairs of shoes.

Thankfully summer shoes are thinner so they take up less room.

Ironic that Evan's poor choice of behaviour bought you more time.

So true on the summer shoes! really, all 7 pairs AND the clothes only fill a laundry basket....of course how it will fit in an actual suitcase when I'm tyring to get by with 2 suitcases for the 4 of us as I hate carrying on....well, we will see how all that plays out come actual pack time on Friday night! It could get interesting.

Ironic is right but it is working for me at the moment! Funnier part is just how happy he was to earn his hair gel back.

Good grief I could totally see arriving with 7 pairs of shoes vs. 5 so this isn't really a plight in my book SOOOOOOOOOOOOO it is hard to say if that is a dilemma to solve! But only you know how much room you have in your luggage! Goodluck with this final 6 days till vacation!!!! Oh so excited for you!

Oh I have room, it's a matter of how many pieces to check (pay for) or carry on. I have been known to bring more...and I must say, I do usually wear them all....

I am always impressed when my DD contains herself to 3 pairs of shoes for Disney !!She is sooo shoe OCD!!!! For me 3 is plenty !! Sneakers to travel a good paitr of sandals and my faithful crocs !!!

3. No way, no how, I couldn't do it.

Even Evan has a hard time with 3.

Yes...the apple didn't fall far.

That was a pretty funny interlude with Evan. Very funny stuff, and sooooooooo typical! Ah... to be a brain cell in the mind of a kid. Like, what are they thinking??!!

7 pairs??!! You ARE aware of the extra baggage fees right??

yeah, getting real. I never thought I'd be one to share either on a place like this. But here I am too, seeking a place to process and find those who get it. I think I'm in the right place.


Surprises are fun....

Leisa, I love the glasses - they are crazy fun! Thanks for the warning about the VSP lab - I have VSP and just got some Juicy Couture RX sunglasses paid for. I didn't know there might be a lab problem... I got the transition Bifocals last year and HATED them. I don't wear them, they make me dizzy and I can't find the tiny little place where you are supposed to read - I just want to read when I have a book, not bob my head around. Cudos to you for adjusting to them!

Oh, and shoes are very important, and I can understand why you want 7 pair. I have been learning that I usually bring 7 pair and only wear 3 or 4 - you can probably find some that match a few outfits and pare it down...just sayin' So excited your trip is a week away - and I can't wait to read how the surprise came together!

thinking is not always Evan's strong suit

Sandals are light

It's only a lab problem if the brand makes their own. Only an issue on high end sports type sunglasses. I could have gotten the maui jim frames with a vsp lens but the point was the maui jim lenses so....skipped it.

UGH. I am worried about hating the transitions, I haven't tried them yet so who knows how it will go. Juicy sunglasses...those sound cute! I wish my doc had a better selection of sunglasses frames, I'm going to have to look elsewhere for a another pair of RX ones, maybe at Eric's eye appointment (that I haven't made yet)

So how does not meeting up with Jessica change your plans?

Well it won't actually, we will just be doing the Queen Mary without her. Of course now I'll have to tell Evan he isn't meeting them but that's about the extent of the impact. I am bummed about it though!

But we still get to meet you just have to figure out when!

 

[eandesmom]

Name those kids

And the DIS'ers they belong to!

It's really too bad they didn't hit it off



A DISmeet NW Style

 

[Native NYer]

So, you're updating on FB? I def want to follow along. And I think we have some mutual friends as well

I'll PM you.

 

[Charleston Princess]

I didn't know you and Cherie had a DIS meet planned! Sneaky, sneaky!

 

[All7OfUs]

OMG!!!!!!!!!! You didn't wait for us!! Ah well... more good times to follow!! Hopefully early next fall we can join in the fun too!

 

[Sleepingbooty]

Was this a EandE / Winkers meet? Cool! Can't wait to hear about it!

Love the argyle glasses. No, I don't think the lilac front is too crazy. Very cute and trendy. When you first said lilac, I was picturing my first pair of glasses - big Sally Jessy type frames, but clear pink/lilac plastic.

Hey, I want to follow your trip on FB - I'm pm-ing you....

 

[glennbo123]

That's great that the boys got to have their own DISmeet. Looks like they had fun.

 

[MEK]

Oh my....you are a huge trooper for keeping the trip secret under those circumstances. I probably would have caved, but you made it this far and you are only days away.. How awesome?????? Your boys are going to be flabbergasted. Haha - I have no idea why I just picked that word - it just popped into my head. 7 pairs of shoes?????? I think you might just have to wittle that down by a pair or two. Decisions Decisions

 

[englishrose47]

I am looking and thinking one of those belongs to an ENABLER!!!! I have yet to meet the Kids but the pair they call parents are really KOOL!!!!!

 

[Happydog]

Wait. What? Who? Huh?

 

[jordanyosh]

I didn't know you guys met up!!!!!!!!

 

[eandesmom]

All set!

I didn't know you and Cherie had a DIS meet planned! Sneaky, sneaky!

Well...you never know if the stars will actually align and things will work out juggling all the schedules...

OMG!!!!!!!!!! You didn't wait for us!! Ah well... more good times to follow!! Hopefully early next fall we can join in the fun too!

It was a small meet, we will definitely have more in the future...we actually discussed that GWL thanksgiving weekend idea!
