We have come up with how we are going to surprise the kids finally!
Brent is still going to get up and get ready and go to "work". He's going to run whatever last minute errands and whatever while I get the kids ready for school. The older 2 have to be dropped off at 7:25, the younger at 8:15. I'm going to tell them that it's just my day off and that's why I'm not getting ready.
I will tell the older 2 that they have dentist appointments and I'm going to pick them up. When I go to get them Brent will get Ellie. He is going to get home with her first(the school is right across the street) and have her hang out in her room while waiting for us.
When we walk in the door he is going to have Ellie come out. We are going to tell them that we have something serious to talk to them about and to sit on the couch and we will be right back. Backstory: Brent is a huge BS-er with the kids. Half the time they think he is full of it. While they are at school we will load the car and put their back packs with all the stuff we have collected for them in a laundry basket covered up with a sheet in the living room. I am going to get the video camera ready(hidden) and he is going to come out with a sign behind his back and then hold it up that says "We are going to Disneyworld today!" and then rip the sheet off the back packs! I don't know if they will think he is even serious right away but I bet they will freak out when they realize we are serious!
I can't wait!!!
your plan sounds so fun! I can't wait to hear all about it. are you going to take video of it?
I changed my ticker and I just wanted to see it. What ya'll think?
I love the new rotating ticker and your t-shirts are all awesome Shannon!
Woo Hoo!!
I am just so thrilled about our upcoming trip - everything is pretty much done now but the packing...got our ME tags and our package 2 weeks ago...the Disney stickers are counting down the days on our calendar and I just have to confirm our grocery order delivery and pre-order Photopass.
I cannot WAIT for this highly anticipated Disney Family Vacation!!

Hi Michelle- from another MIchelle!
What? Do Val-Paks really have airport parking coupons? If so, why do I doubt Dulles Airport would participate? I never even open in those envelopes. One just came yesterday and it went straight in the trash. Didn't even bring it in the house. Oh well, I'm at 21 days and that's what matters most!
I haev seen coupons for the "Parking Spot" our local off site parking for DFW in our val packs in TX.
I don't know why I am even complaining. My husband's office is about five min. from the airport. Last year we parked our car there and then had a cab pick us up and take us to the airport and then back to his office when we returned. And another year we did the same but had one of his coworkers drive us so we saved one way on the cab.
US TOO!!! too funny. DH works right near DFW airport, about 5 minutes away and they have a parking garage. We just did this in August on a trip and many times before. We have a noon flight on a Friday. We will just go to his work (car loaded with suitcases), and have his coworker come out and then drive our car to the airport and drop us off at the gate. Then just have him park our car at the parking garage at work for us. upon our return, we will just take a cab from the airport to his work since we get in late on a saturday night. so easy!!! and saves on parking!
What are you going to wear for the costume? I bought a short blue dress and leggings on ebay last night. Now just looking for the perfect pink shoes! I really want to do heels (especially since I'm so short), but I don't know if I can handle walking around on them all night. And I talked to the DH and he wants to be Woody, so now the DS says he wants to be the green army man. We'll see if he still wants to be that when it get's a little closer!
Still feels like a long time when I think of it in terms of 14 work days.
Thanks for giving me this link! I think it may be a little to hot for MNSSHP, but I think I'm going to buy it anyways and maybe just shorten the sleeves?
