One Family, One Year - An AP finale & June 2010 PTR! - 7/6 TR STARTED!!!

[Happydog]

I love your countdown calendar poster! How very cute and creative!

Great snack list! We were making ours this weekend too!!
Have you had Mike's Black Cherry Lemonade??? We're big fans of Mike's here and got that one this weekend because we hadn't seen it before...YUMMO!! My favorite of all is the limeade but this one is a close second!

Hi! And thanks! It was fun to make, just something silly. RE the Mike's Cherry, NO, I have never tried that flavor! We also like the cranberry kind, though, so maybe we will check that one out too! I will only drink those in the summer. It isn't a fall or winter beverage for me, but perfect in the heat!

I hear ya on the "just keep swimming" but you are doing so much better than me at keeping up on your PTR. I'm so bogged down with school/grades/report cards/end of the year paperwork that I'm lucky to pop into one or two TR's a day and they are not usually my own!

Well I am BARELY keeping up. I spent more time last year, but I have GOT to get all my itinerary stuff done, and laminate it to put in my binder. Should be able to get that done on Friday. I have a set of evaluations to finish, then I am home free...

Love the Countdown Poster...what details and those pictures are great!!

Love your list of snacks, you are very well prepared!!

LOL I need to find some time to be able to get started on my TR for Memorial Day life is just BUSY BUSY!! LOL!!!!

Thanks! I had fun with the calendar, it is really easy to do with pics of people! Well we bring snacks, because I try to keep the kids somewhat on a decent diet there.... they wont have a salad for dinner, etc... so I have to bring what I know they will eat. FORTUNATELY they will have green beans and mashed potatoes at Le Cellier!!!! And Guacamole in the WS!!!

TELL me about BUSY BUSY! I am not getting ready to move cross country! But good luck with all that, and I can't wait to hear all about the Memorial Day fun! AND your adventure to Texas!!!

Better late than never right?!?! I just saw your PTR link in your signature and have read the whole thing. I can't believe we are going to miss you guys by a few hours. Your boys are super cute. I promise I won't be this late to your trip report (just wait 11 days after you get home since I'll be on my vacation!).

Well HELLO! I just LOVE reading you and MeMom's TRs!!!! SO fun! SO many photos!!!!! I know, bummer that we are going to be driving past eachother!!! Well, hopefully our paths will cross one day! I will "stall" as long as possible for the TR!!! We are going camping for the 4th of July, so I won't get it started too long before then You will LOVE the 4th there! If you haven't already been. We had an amazing time last year! We did MK on the 3rd, and Epcot on the 4th. Could see the fireworks at BOTH Epcot and DHS from outside Le Cellier! It was perfect! The smoke from the fireworks was so thick! CRAZY!

mnnnnn pirate booty!

I just polished of the last of a bag, not a good thing to have around when you are starving!



your calendar is adorable!!!!!!

Ugh! I know!!! I like the "veggie" booty, too, but the kids wont touch it. So I don't buy it, b/c I will do the same thing!

 

[Happydog]

Okay,everyone, I know it has been MUCH anticipated, since, oh, DECEMBER, when I started putting in ADRs for this trip , but TODAY is


TEN DAYS TIL DISNEY!!!!!!

THE FINAL COUNTDOWN BEGINS!!!!! SINGLE DIGITS TOMORROW!!!

And what better way to celebrate this moment, but with a DAY OFF!

Well, not exactly a day off, BUT we have graduation today. AND in our county, the HS closes on Graduation day. SO, since we have an evening graduation, at 7:30, I have the day to make some headway with my LIST of "OMG I GOTTA GET WHAT DONE BY MONDAY??!!"

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... Here is my short list today:

1. Packing (already started yesterday)
2. HAIR CUT AND COLOR
3. PEDICURE/MANICURE* THIS is only if the time works, otherwise I will squeeze this in on Friday after work...
4. The MALL!!! I have a few things to get, so it should be a quick in and out! STEALTH!
5. DID I say PACKING??!! Yeah. Packing for NEW ORLEANS, AND ORLANDO!!!
6. A little school work.... The end of the year. THIS is all I have to say: !!!!!!

I probably forgot something, OH YES!....

7. WRAP gifts (more wrapping -- takes forever!)


So I better get a move on! I will be back later!!!

10 days sooo exciting

 

[Diamondintheruff]

21 Days for me. But my trip starts when yours ends so you probably don't want to think about my countdown number.

Love your calendar/poster. It's too cute. My kids know they are competing at Disney so there was no keeping it a secret. Don't know if I could anyway. I'm one of those read the endings to the back of the book people.

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Hurrah for 10 days!!! Your day sounds busy but remember it's all good stuff for a very worthy cause! I for one would much rather be running through your itinerary than mine!

Have fun at graduation tonight!

 

[Charleston Princess]

6. A little school work.... The end of the year. THIS is all I have to say: !!!!!!

Yep, that smiley says it all!

Enjoy your "day off"! I predict that you will feel a lot better about everything by the end of the day because you will have managed to get so much done!

Happy Ten Days! From here on out, it's all downhill! Right? Right?

 

[jeremysdisneymom]

Yay, you are just 10 days aways! That is great news! I am sure you are getting very excited.

Your boys look so surprised about Disney! How sweet! I wish I could keep it a secret although DH and I are contemplating the week after Christmas in 2011 and making it a surprise for DS. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can keep a secret that long!

Hope you enjoy your day off.

[Lady Lallie]

Enjoy your day off! I'm sure you will be super productive!

 

[eandesmom]

10 days!!!!!!!!! I bet you will get a ton done.

I vote for gift bags, so much faster!

I like the veggie booty too, as do the kids but even better are the costco veggie crisps....dangerous!

 

[Happydog]

Hi guys!!! I am back! I got my hair done, and the mall, and lots of folding/packing. I have put the pedicure/manicure to Friday, which is fine, it is raining here and I wouldn't want to be wearing FlipFlops right now! I have a few returns to drop off at the UPS store and dropping a shirt off at the cleaner, but will be heading out to downtown and graduation in a couple hours. I grabbed a great deal on kids shorts and tees! 9.99 with 25% off at The Gap! I was happy for that. And I found myself a cute Tshirt for 9.99 at JCrew -- and my shorts (those I ordered) came today... So I will try them on and see. I also found cute really soft Tshirts for the boys for $8.50 each... nice heathered orange color -- perfect for summer, and PERFECT for finding them in a crowd on Mainstreet or at DHS!!! Grabbed some makeup, and then ran out of there and back home. Going to organize my stuff now, but I will be back tonight!

Are you putting all of the boys treats for the train ride in gift bags? I need some ideas for my nephews' stuff for the plane.

 

[Charleston Princess]

[jenjolt]

I still can't believe I'm going to miss you in NO by one measly day LOL!! Okay you have to go have a beignet for me and let me know how good they are LOL!!!! I can't wait to walk to Cafe du Monde in the morning and have that for breakfast!!!

Hmmm...I so need to get my nails done they are so beat up right now after all the work around the house LOL!!

Hope you got your list done!!

YAY for single digit dancing today

[Happydog]

HERE WE ARE!!!!!!! SINGLE DIGIT COUNTDOWN! AND I wont even be here for the final five!!!!

I guess I can do that from New Orleans!!!


Well I tried to scoot back on last night, but I was soooo tired! DS5 had his final 1/2 day of Montessori today. Can you believe it! I have a bonified kindergartener next fall.... Where did the time go??!!

I will catch up tonight, I will! I am going to laminate my itinerary cards tomorrow, but first I have to get the paper cutter from school and bring it home and get them all ready to fit into my binder.

I did finish wrapping gifts last night, before I fell asleep!

I have my mani and pedicure appointment tomorrow.

Alright, we are off and running again!!!!

Back tonight for replies and for reading

Oh that is okay, there is enough Disney magic to spread around to everyone! Thanks on the calendar/poster. It was great fun to make!

Hurrah for 10 days!!! Your day sounds busy but remember it's all good stuff for a very worthy cause! I for one would much rather be running through your itinerary than mine!

Have fun at graduation tonight!

Graduation was long, I enjoy them, but I was beat!

NINE days now! YAY! I know the busy craziness is all for a fun trip, hard to complain!

Yep, that smiley says it all!

Enjoy your "day off"! I predict that you will feel a lot better about everything by the end of the day because you will have managed to get so much done!

Happy Ten Days! From here on out, it's all downhill! Right? Right?

You know I do feel better about lots! I did get to many of the things I needed to. Now I just have to finish up the details... YES, downhill from here.... HA HA HA

 

[Happydog]

Yay, you are just 10 days aways! That is great news! I am sure you are getting very excited.

Thanks! Yep, NINE days now! VERY EXCITED HOUSEHOLD HERE!!!

They just are excited to go, they had said they were looking forward to going back, but they didn't know we were going so soon

Got lots done. Thanks!

Enjoy your day off! I'm sure you will be super productive!

I tried, I did, more or less! I kept getting distracted by MeMom's fabulous updates!!!!

10 days!!!!!!!!! I bet you will get a ton done.

I vote for gift bags, so much faster!

I like the veggie booty too, as do the kids but even better are the costco veggie crisps....dangerous!

Oh I am such a wrapper. That is the problem! Gift bags are lovely, I just hate spending the $ on them when I can get a roll of wrap for the same price !! This from the woman who doesn't flinch at her $300.00 bar bill...
