Our family will be trying the matching shirt thing this year. You know, before they get to old to object.

The color is different on film. It's lime green in real life. Our last name is aslo not fuzzied out. It was personalized for us by KristineN on the Creative Designs board. Here's her link if you want to check it out.

AHHH those trip shirts are sooooo cuuuuute! I love them!

I'm so excited about your trip and also jealous. Your TR is getting me pumped for my trip in October (so far away...).

Your children are precious and your little girl is perhaps the cutest thing I've ever seen. They're so lucky to have an awesome mom who takes them to DISNEY regularly!

Keep the posts coming!

Thanks!! I think they are cute kids, too.
October is not too far away. One of our best trips ever was in October when we realized the kids had a long weekend and just ran down there!! October is a great time to go!!!
Thanks for reading!!

Those shirts are so cute! I wonder if I can get something like that done in less than a week??? Of course, then I have to figure out how to get my family to wear them.

It's never too late for tshirts!! Can't help on getting the family to wear them,
but less than a week until you go? You lucky thing, you!!!!! (I'm giving you the thumpsup, but I'm green with jealousy!)

Hey there! I just wanted to say that I think your shirts are really cute. If we had kids I might actually be inspired to be creative like you.

As proof that you don't need children to wear matching shirts (and also of just how big a geek I really am), I present to you from our anniversary trip in 2004 (This one Chuck designed on his own.....)

Thanks for the compliment on the shirts! I want to do more, but I think the family has had enough!!!

Cool!!!

Jason would never do it, but it's still very cool!

Not hard to do at all!! Just printed them on the special paper and followed the directions. I don't think I'll put them in the dryer, though. You should try one for your Disneymoon. Are you going to wear the bride and groom ears? (I've always wanted bride ears.)

Am I going to wear the bride ears???? Do you even have to ask??? LOL Of course I am. Not sure if DFi will he said for some pictures he will but actually I am not sure if it will fit his head. He has a big head...I still love him though.
I will def. try to make a shirt not sure when yet but I will...I'll keep ya updated.

You have the coolest tee shirts I found a pack of transfer paper (7 sheets) for $7.99 at Hobby Lobby. Hopefully, they'll have a 40% off coupon next week. As it is, I had to pay full price for one pack this week (DD needed one for a school project) but I have enough left to make one round of shirts for all of us!! DH isn't so sure about all the matching tee shirt stuff, but oh well hehe.

You know what they say. Big head, big heart. (I'm not really sure that's what they say, but I like it.)
Looking forward to seeing what kind of shirt you come up with. PatNL (I think that's her name) has some beautiful wedding designs on her thread on the Creative Designs board. Check her out.

Thanks! That's a good price! The pack I found was at Walmart for $9.84 for only five. I didn't think to look at A C Moore. They usually have a 40 or 50% off coupon every week.
I've never been in Hobby Lobby. It's across town. I'll have to give it a look.
Tell DH if I can get my DH to do it, he should certainly be able to do it. And just remember, it doesn't matter how you look at Disney, because you are never gonna see those people again! Can't wait to see your shirts!

We interrupt our regularly schedule pre-trip report to bring to you a special report:

A slice of life at our house.

As you know, DH is a police officer. It makes for an interesting life and not many dull moments. As most cops do, he keeps her hair very short, which means about every three weeks he gets out the clippers and just about shaves his head. OK, keep that scene in your mind. (Sorry. I know it’s a rough one but I promise it will mean something later.)

This week has also been Turn off the TV Week at Em’s school. The students promise to turn off their TV’s for a whole week and read every night from 7:00 to 7:30. If a teacher comes to your house and catches you reading, you get a prize. Ok, the stage is set. Here we go.

It’s 7:00 at our house. Em and I are reading in the living room (with the TV off.) DH, having cut his hair, is proceeding to the front yard to hose off his head. (He swears that’s the best way to do it. The shower doesn’t work well enough.) Yeah, the only hose is in the front yard.

Em looks up at me and says, “I sure hope Daddy comes in quick. The teacher might see him.”

DH ( in the front yard with his head under the hose)is thinking to himself , “I sure hope that teacher doesn’t stop by tonight.”

And at that very moment, a car slowly passes our house, and upon seeing our brightly colored Mickey Mouse mailbox, stops, backs up and pulls into our driveway.

DH now has a dilemma. If he attempts to pop inside to hide his half naked body from said teacher, he could be accused of warning Em that the teacher is coming and thereby ruining her prize. If he stays where he is, half-dressed and dripping wet in the front yard, the teacher may question the safety of Em’s home life and our ability to parent her properly. He decides to be a man and take the hit for Emily’s prize.

Now if this had been Emily’s teacher in our driveway, it would not have been so bad. She and I have sons the same age and have known each other through school functions for at least seven years. She understands the strange and mysterious ways of our family.

But no, it is at this moment that Em and I hear through the front window, “Good evening sir, I’m Dr. Principal. Is Em at home?”

Yes, that’s right. It is not Em’s sweet, understanding teacher, but the principal of the entire Elementary school. She’s never met DH before.

Em and I have dealt with her before. At the mother daughter book club, She asked Em how she liked the book Dr. Principal had chosen herself. To which Em, replied, “I didn’t. It was boring.” She’s not said much to us since then.

DH shook her hand and escorted her to the front door. I opened it , apologized profusely for the hairy, (no, not on his head, the rest of him) wet, crazy man in our front yard and invited her in. She only stayed for a moment, congratulated Em on being caught reading, greeted our cats (our cats demand to be greeted by new guests), and commented on our antique furniture. (Antique is a nice word for hand-me-downs.) She told us it had been a nice visit, because she’d never been in this part of our neighborhood before. (DH told me later he started to tell her the best place to buy your crack is just down the street, but thought better of it.)

I guess she wasn’t too traumatized. Maybe she’ll block it out. Traumatized people do that . It didn’t bother Em at all. She was just excited about getting her prize. And what was the prize we all braved embarrassment for?

Oh well, that’s just another night at our house.
