You are going to have a busy week!!! Just in case I dont get another chance - have a wonderful time and enjoy all the dismeets you have planned. I am looking forward to the hearing all about it and seeing photos.
I meant to tell you I got a calendar done with photos from our trip last year. I did it thru the photopass system. Cost alot of money but it so worth it. I splashed out and got 5 of them - one for all members of the family and my 94 year old grandma and they love it.
I will treasure it forever.
Take care
I am off to bed now I have caught up.
A Disney calendar with my family in it would definitely be a treasure.
Time to get those new suitcases out and start packing!!!
So excitting that you are less than a week away!
I'm day dreaming about all the new pics you are going to take!
Brooklynnsmommy will you post the link to your FB pics again for me....pretty please..
Off to work I go...but I'm happy to say I will have two days off in a row cause it's our "Family Day" a Provincial holiday on Monday.
We would have had a three day weekend this weekend, but we're making up a snow day Monday.
I have a suitcase open, and I've thrown some things in there. I'm not too fancy, so it won't be a big ordeal. I'll roll up a few t-shirts and capris together, throw in a couple of pairs of pants, in case it's a little cool, etc. My packing is not a hard thing, really.
Sorry to hear it was a rough week at school, MeMom. It has been kind of crazy around these parts, too.
Yeay for trip shopping today! Does that mean you will also start packing in that pretty new luggage?
I love, love, love the picture of the palm trees above you. Sigh. I so wish I was there this morning.
It was. One of my students is going through some major stuff at home, and DCS came to school to see him. They talked to me, as well. For now, he is still with us, but that could change any day. It's a mess, and it's emotionally draining to do the regular school stuff, the testing and paperwork, be constantly reminded in every faculty meeting we have that we are a failing system, and have the extra stress of things like this issue. I was ready to be completely alone and away from the world last night.
When I got up this morning, it was rainy and cool outside, so I decided to just do my shopping after church tomorrow when I'm already out. That freed up today to do housework. I was happy not to get dressed and get out the door today. I'm just hanging out in the comfy clothes now taking it easy.
I love palm tree pictures, and that bright blue sky was just the right background. That pretty day and our wonderful company made it hard to leave.
I think it has been a rough week all around. My Thursday night through Friday was a nightmare!! I will choose to blame the full moon.
Disney Blog has birthday wishes for Lilly. Some really great pictures too.
Birthday for Lilly
I loved reading about that and seeing the video. Every time I see something like that, I think how cool it would be to work at Animal Kingdom.
Ok, the pool fun and cheesecake was bad enough, but this is pure torture!!! What are you trying to do to me, Memom!
Seriously though, this is a beautiful picture. And ya know what... soccer starts around here next week so that can only mean one thing... spring is right around the corner!!! Heck, by the time you get back from Disney, most of this harsh winter should be over!! Enjoy those palm tree views for me while you are there!
Jill can Facebook some nice palm tree pictures.

I think this whole country is more than ready for spring.
The picture from right outside the food court made me miss Pop so much! I can't wait to be back there sometime next year. I'm hoping that after my parents' Scotland trip, they'll be wanting or needing to plan a Disney trip for something else to look forward to
I love the palm tree picture. Charles is in Hawaii now, so I am really excited to have pictures from both there and Disney to get me through till the warm weather! Yesterday it hit 60 and now it's back to the 30's and very windy -- we actually have a wind advisory till 2 AM. I can't wait for spring!
Sometimes the pictures like that are the ones that can make you feel like you are right there - not the big icons or a character or anything classic, but just a picture of a beach swing or an empty table or a checkout line or something common.
I hope those 30's don't make their way back down here!
All caught up! I would love to make a Mickey Kitchen....just don't think Ben would like me to replace all of our perfectly usable utensils.....maybe when they wear out???
I'm excited to hear about your next trip. I'm loving the pictures, even if I don't have time to comment. I'll be following along on FB.
We did get a bit of exciting news. With Ben's work schedule, he told me we couldn't leave early (for our whole family trip to Florida) to go to Disney. Needless to say, I wasn't a very happy camper. But he was able to get time off the next week, so I will end up with 2 extra Disney days. Yay!!!
Maybe you could have Owen 'accidentally' ruin some of your kitchen stuff digging around in the backyard.

Then you'd have a case for buying some new things.

I don't want a Disney kitchen overall, as neither the red & black nor the blue & white are my colors, but I like my little Disney touches and utensils.
Time to get that new luggage out! I know you are soooooo ready for the trip and a stress free break. Enjoy!
I don't get stressed very often. I kind of let things roll off with an 'everything will come out okay' approach, but sometimes too many things go on at once, and my plate gets a little too full and spills over.
Sorry you had such a rough week at work. Just one more to get through and then Disney and Trent! Woohoo for you!
Hope you are busy packing your new luggage.
I was busy thinking how beautiful of a day your last day looked, then I remembered we were there enjoying the nice weather as well.
I just talked to Trent a few minutes ago. He is dying for us to get there. He said he misses us so much. He said it really bothers him not to see Bella growing up. He said he saw Brooklynn go through all the milestones, but he's missing all that with Bella, and she changes so much from visit to visit.
We have had better weather here, too, thank heavens!
The Pop pictures make me wish I was staying there this trip. I am trying new places for new experiences, but Pop is home and like comfort food.
I hope while you are packing your new luggage the magical feeling helps wash away last week's school pressures.
I know several years I was past ready for Spring break.
Pop is comfortable for us, too. I think I could learn to be at home in several different resorts, though, if I got to spend more than just a night or two at them. Mostly, I just feel at home being in Disney World.
The School Board is now saying they may make up another snow day the first day of spring break. It doesn't affect me this time, but if they do that, they will have a ton of teachers calling out. It will be a mess, I bet.
Love that palm tree pic. I want to get a palm tree charm for my bracelet.
Have fun trip shopping today!! I need to get to Kohl's soon as I got a 30% off coupon. Of course that is how they get you.
Have a wonderful weekend. Sorry you had a rough week last week. Hopefully this week will be better & be over before you know it.
That would be a nice charm to have. It would be a cute reminder of our happy place and the beautiful times we have there.
I still can't pin my principal down to reschedule my observation. I was hoping to do it this past week while some of the food was still good, but now I'll have to get all new stuff. It's kind of annoying. I know he's busy, though, and he has to get in the three observations on the non-tenured teachers before he does the rest of us. I guess it just aggravates me that I e-mailed him when he first handed out the paperwork and said I wanted to go ahead and do it. It really could have been over with way back in October.
