Needing a good dose of our "Happy Place" Updated 11/11

[DisneyJo]

Maybe it is because Peyton and Rebekah are only 16 months apart, but as they get older , they get along better. They would go off by themselves if I let them. I might allow some time apart but I really want this to be time spent as a family. My friend is appalled at the thought that I would let them wander by themselves. I think they are quite old enough.

Oh no it's not she doesn't want to be with her sister it's that she doesn't want to be away from us

If DH gets his way we will also be picking up a rental car.

Does he not like your car?

We will make the kids go to bed fairly early so that we can get to Disney the next day ASAP!!

yay and very cute photos

DisneyJo,I wish mine didn't want to leave me!

DH is trying to convince me that we should rent a car that is bigger because I tend to overpack. I think he just likes to drive different cars!

Thanks about the pictures. I love Disney pictures from when they were little.

Disney shopping!
I went shopping yesterday. I try to shop every few weeks for things that I "need" for Disney. I am trying to not do too much but a lot is necessary....I got Rebekah and I a pair of sandals each(Chacos) that I found on clearance. I also got Rebekah flip flops made out of yoga mat. Not sure of the brand. We both desperately needed shoes and wanted to have time to break them in.

I bought a camera! I have only had little cameras,nothing nice. I got a Nikon that has great zoom and other features. Can you tell I don't know much about cameras??

I also bought my girls tiaras. I am having trouble finding cute Disney clothes for DD9. She still wants princess dresses,costume and regular but now she wears size 12...it's impossible!

Btw, I hate "Dissing" on my iPhone. No emoticons.

Thanks! I usually on Dis on the computer but My mom had surgery on Monday morning. I have been sitting in a lot of waiting rooms.
I love my new camera! I will post a few pictures later. Much better than the ones I take with my phone.

I will do that. If I cant find one in her size, they might have cheap accessories.

I have been trying to find cute Disney clothes for Rachel to wear on our trip. I am actually having a few things made but here is a picture of her wearing her new shirt. My friend had it made for her. I am determined to have fun dressing her on this trip because I know she won't let me do it for long. The other two aren't cooperating!

She will wear this the day after Thanksgiving

This is one from a previous pretrip report..I wish I could still find her cute dresses


Up next...Day One PLans

 

[Trentmom]

I love Rachel's shirt.


Aww....Love the flashback pic..so cute

Wow, they grow up so fast!! Great pic of her!

I'm subbing in.
We are hopefully going next sumer with 13 people also.
I'll be interested to hear how it goes with a big group.

Sorry to hear about grandmas wrist, I hope she heals quickly.

And on healing, my thoughts are with your family as you plan this trip together.

 

[Trentmom]

Amy, were you the one who mentioned having trouble finding a princess dress for your daughter?

If so, check your walmart. I was at mine tonight and they had gorgeous princess dresses. They had Cinderella, Ariel one, Glinda the Good Witch, Queen. I think they were about 30-40 dollars and were adult size

Thanks for joining. I have gone with a group of fifteen before. You definitely have to be flexible. On that trip we split up a lot and this one we wont be doing that. We will see how that goes.

Yes,I am. I will check at our Walmart. She has lost a little weight and gotten taller. I bought her a 10-12 skirt tonight so I am searching that now. Only about six weeks until we go. She is getting really excited

Flashback to when it was easy to dress my little princess for Disney

I have to say this FP+ stuff has not come easy to me! It wouldn't be difficult but trying to make all three smaller groups link into the same FP+ is a nightmare. Every time I decide to change one I have to get my friend and BIL to go into theirs and change their children. Big groups and FP+

I am going to show my itinerary exactly like I have it in my notebook.
