We just passed the 45 day mark for our trip and Im starting to kick things in high gear now. I made another attempt to do a Halloween t-shirt for Alison and this time it came out great. She loved it and says shes also going to wear it on our DHS day. I dont plan on making shirts for the rest of us that day so shell be the only one in a t-shirt for that park. We also went through all the t-shirt DISigns wed picked out and decided on the ones well use. I now have something like 12 t-shirts I need to make! 
I may have to pare those down because I dont know if I can manage the expense of the t-shirts, transfers and all the ink Id need for so many shirts.
Here are pictures of Hannah and Alison in their Halloween shirts:

I also trimmed the Holidays around the World Passports and took them to Staples. I wanted to have them bound like a book but they can only do that for 8x10 books. Instead, they will use the spiral binding at the top. The idea doesnt thrill me too much but its gonna have to do. Ill be picking those up on Friday and will post pictures when I get them back. I toyed around with making photobooks but whenever Id insert the pictures on the pages they were either too big or there would be a yellow caution on the picture about the image quality.
I went through my stash of stuff for the trip. Heres what Ive got so far:
Hannah's notebook:
Alison's notebook:
My notebook:
Im going to have the girls decorate the clipboards and they can use them for their autograph cards when the characters sign them. I also bought some non-Disney Thanksgiving window clings that Im going to put on our window at Pop. I forgot to take a picture of them so Ill post those later. (OT: Typing that sentence I thought to myself, taking pictures of window clings so people Ive never met can see them how crazy does that sound??!!
)
Hannah has a Princess Word Search book and I need to make sure she takes it. The girls will also be taking their DSs need to get a car charger for those. Since the DVD player in my van isnt working I also need to see about borrowing a couple of portable DVD players so the girls can watch movies. Hannah has decided what bag she is going to use to carry her stuff in the parks but I still dont have anything for Alison so need to find something for her.
Halloween: Hannah has decided to be the Mad Hatter this year.
Heres the costume:
I bought a few Halloween decorations while I was out running errands on Sunday. I dont normally do a lot of decorating for Halloween but the girls were whining because others in our neighborhood have started decorating and our house doesnt look cool for Halloween.
I got a door cover for the front door and some window clings for their rooms at Walgreens. It still doesnt look cool but it appeased the little beasts! They have some really cute Disney brand Halloween stuff. I may go to the Dollar Store this weekend and buy a few more things for the yard. Hannah wants to put some spooky lights in the magnolia tree in the front yard.
I STILL need print out the rest of the autograph cards. Over the weekend I was going to trim the ones Ive already printed but never got around to it. I may do that during this week. I need to get some pennies and quarters so the girls can do pressed pennies. Im going to see if I can talk Hannah in to letting me raid her piggy bank for the pennies!
When were 30 days out Ill be doing a daily this time next month well be at post with park, ADR and itinerary information for each day. The girls and I will probably be crazed with excitement when we hit that 30 day mark!
Hannah and I had a good time at Aladdin. It was a good show. Hannah was very excited when it got to the part where Aladdin flies in on the magic and he and Princess Jasmine go flying around because she couldnt wait to hear them sing A Whole New World. Then, when the song began she starts singing with them. As were walking out of the theater she gave me a big hug and said I love you Mommy. I wish I could hold on to you forever.
After the show, we stopped at Sonic and got milkshakes. It was a great girls night out! I had a couple of pictures before the show started and some from after the show but I accidentally deleted them. UGH
I went to Target yesterday before work and they had tons of The Beauty and the Beast DVDs out. I didnt have my coupon so I didnt get one. I went back during lunch, with coupon in hand, and they were almost gone! Glad I went back! The best part the combo pack I bought came with a bonus CD of the music! Woohoo!!!
Thats all thats happening right now. Hope everyone is having a great week!

Barbara I need your park days so we can figure out what matches...Jill I know we have a bunch of days similar...we'll have to chat later in Oct and carve out a couple possiblities and exchange cell numbers...I am looking forward to meeting you both and your girls!
Of course, there are the parents who are as wonderful as their children, too. Anyway, I guess what I am trying to say is that you should never feel like a bad mommy because you aren't!
