Hey Everyone
We are at 47 days 1 hour and 8 mins Till Disney

I'm Proud To Say................ We are Paid in Full !!!!
Yep ........ We made our last Disney payment Last friday
i can't believe i don't have to worry about it anymore ....
So now that it is paid in full, I started buying other stuff for the trip...

I picked up some glow sticks for the kids

As you can see they come 15 sticks per tube , I got them at the dollar tree For $ 1.00 a tube
What a deal ... I got 45 sticks for $3.. I'm going to pick up more glow stuff tomorrow ..

So everyone go to the dollar tree and get your glow sticks for your kids to wear at night ... ( Think about it..... Its cheaper to buy them at the dollar tree then to buy them at disney ....)

I have to go to the Dollar Tree! I was reading on another thread about the stickers there also.

We want to seee Hairspray-glad you enjoyed it so much.Your DD is adorable!

 

[PrincessFan0809]

We have ADRs at Garden Grill on the 19th, too, but at 6:20.

 

[travelgirl06]

Amanda,

Your pre-trippie is great, I can't wait to hear the rest of your plans and then hear about your trip. Also, your kids are adorable!

 

[pamouselover]

It is also nice to share with others in the parks. In 2005 My DS and DD handed out glow sticks that we had brought to other kids at MGM.

 

[mvazul]

Congratulations on paying off the trip!! That feels so good, doesn't it??? It's so nice to not have to worry about it.

Great deal on the glow sticks!!

 

[Foxfiregrrl]

Hi, Amanda! I have enjoyed your Pre-Trippie so far!

You have a lovely family! How cool that you guys lived so close to Disney! Hope you are able to get moved back sooner rather than later

We will be seeing you at the GLOW party, but we don't have any ADRs in common.

Your outfits for your daughter were too cute!! Too bad she has decided she's too grown for it Hopefully she will change her mind.

 

[bentleygirl22]

Hey Everyone ,
I Hope you guys are having a great morning .
Today for me has been a roller coster of emotions. You see today was the 1st day of school.

James went in to the 1st grade And My baby Alexis started kindergarten today...

So today has been such a sad & Happy day..
The kids were so happy about school, Alexis couldn't wait to get to her class and meet all her new friends...LOL

So I was happy that they were happy.

So They are all ready to go Backpacks & All

We get to the school and Alexis is walking like she is a diva ... Her Hand up and all like she is queen of the school....

(if your at the glow party you will see what I'm talking about ...She's such a ham )

We walk james to his class and he walks in and says Bye Mom & Dad and Thats it no hug no kiss Yep My boy is to big for that now he says he's in 1st grade.... So we wave goodbye So Now i'm About to lose it


We walk Alexis in her Class she meets the teacher and then she walks up to a table of kids and sits down and starts talking with them (Already Making NEw Friends... YAY)
Then the teacher give her a color page to work on

and then my husband Jason give Alexis a few last words and then She was like.. ok daddy ... Bye .. I said... oh no Your giving me a kiss aleast ...........

We kiss and hug and i say i'll see you later sweetie have fun at school and she looks at me and says Its ok mom.. I'm going to be fine & Smiles for another photo......

So we walk out of the room and i look in the window and i see her just talking away with her new friends at the table and coloring and I say wow she is doing great huh .. and jason says ... yep....... By this time my eyes are filled with tears And Jason gives me a hug and says lets get you home ......
We get home He heads to work......

I'm Alone ...... Just Me here ....... OMG


OK Folks ..... I'm a stay at home Mom ..... With no kids ..... What do I do now .....

 

[Tanya90210]

I understand how you feel!! I am soo not looking forward to Mini and Ry's first days of school... few years away


What do you do all day??? Take a nap!!! Go Shopping!!! Dis!!!

 

[dismom9761]

They look adorable and soo excited!My kids start on Monday-my oldest will be in middle school. Enjoy your day..Dis,nap,watch what YOU want,etc.

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

I have been there! My son is getting ready to start 2nd grade but refused to kiss me or hug me when I dropped him off all threw 1st grade- He would just look at me and say "bye mom-love you" and give me a thumbs up and a wink (the wink was his way of hugging without friends knowing-kinda like our secret hug). Oh how they do grow up fast.

 

[__disneygirl]

Just wanted to stop by and say I am really enjoying this report! I can't wait to read all about your great trip. Your children are absolutely beautiful and aww I almost shed a tear reading about their first day! I do hope you get to move back to Orlando someday.. those weekend getaways sound like HEAVEN! Well, great job! Keep up the good work!

 

[Sabrina90744]

those pictures were soooo cute!! I'm starting my student teaching at the end of the month and I have Kindergarten and fourth grade and my Kdg teacher requested that I go to her class for the first few months to see how children transition from home life to school life (it seems like ur daughter had no trouble at all lol). Needless to say I'm excited about seeing what goes on the first few months of kdg. I'm sure you will have some good stories to share about their first day!!

 

[carrieannie]

Hello Amanda,,The kids looked great for their 1st day! I cant get over that they started this early! How did Alexis do with her 1st day? You will find things to keep you busy. Ask about maybe volunteering in her or James room or anywhere else in the school. Its also a great way to get a job in the school system! Extra Disney money!!

Hi! I love the outfits! I think you need to strike a deal w/ your DD. Like she can wear storebought clothes 3/4 days a week to school and then yours the other time. Ahe has no idea of what she's missing. I wish my Mom would still sew for me since I can't sew and I'm 33! You are very talented!!!

We will also be there at the same time. 17th-23rd AND staying at POP. I know we will be at the LOEMH on the same days but I'm not sure on anything else as we just got our dates and I don't have everything planned. We might not be able to schedule our TS until after Aug 26th
We are 1st timers and it's my DS5's WISH trip so we are VERY excited!!

When DS5 started school at 3. I became the Volunteer of the year by Dec!!! They gave me prizes and everything!! That Jan. I started subbing. I love it! Between Subbing and Volunteering I'm always aware of what's going on at school and the few days I do stay at home I enjoy the peace and quiet!!

Love your style of writing and can't wait for more!

 

[bentleygirl22]

I have to go to the Dollar Tree! I was reading on another thread about the stickers there also.

Hey Everyone ,

Well most of you know that we moved from orlando .. Well I still read the Orlando Sentinel online .. And I read some great news ...

Ok the story was called...
Disney announces another year of a million dreams
-Yay another year of fun prizes and a few new prizes


Plus the story said the best thing
"We expect to hit a magical one million dreams late next month."

Which means They will be giving alot of stuff next month when we are there because they still have alot of big prizes to give away ....

Woo hoo

~Amanda

 

[carrieannie]
