Thanks Diane.. I appreciate it


4 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My kids are barely able to focus

You sound like me. I like to have my house spotless before I go out of town, so I am always coming home to a clean house. But please don't stress over it. I can't believe you are leaving in 3 days!

I'm not stressed Just want to leave the house spotless so that when we come back I just have laundry and grocery shopping to do!

Good luck with the cleaning! 2 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lesley

Thanks Lesley!

Hey everyone!! Tomorrow is 2 DAYS

Today was a great day! After I dropped the boys off at school, I went to visit my cousin who had a baby girl on 4/6 and it was incredible holding such a tiny baby again. She is so precious After I left my cousins, I drove to the boardwalk which runs along the ocean and it was a gorgeous sunny day. I went for a run and my mind just raced about Disney, all my planning and our ADR's and of course the most important question, which is in the title of my PTR, Will we get our 2nd shot at the Dream Team The run went by so fast, it was great!

I made our final lists tonight! Just our last minute essentials need to be packed. I am going for a pedicure tomorrow Tomorrow or Sat, I will post our final itinerary so you can follow along if you would like I will also try to post some last minute pictures!

Ahhhh you are so close! I do the same thing, get sad about it being over before I even go. It is a sickness.

Enjoy the anticipation of the next couple days!

Have a great trip, looking forward to this becoming a grown up trip report.

 

[kaysmommie]

If you take some pics definately post them if you have time, that would just thrill the kids. Also would can't wait to see your final itinerary. Hope you have a wonderful time at Disney. Take lots of AKL pictures. My DH says absolutely no to staying there and the kids and I would love to try it.

Hey, Diane, I see you're online. Have a fantastic trip! And get some sleep. (I'm always too excited to sleep like the kids in the commercial!)

 

[dddisrunner]

Thank goodness we had a huge distraction today because the boys were getting pretty close to being unbearable with their excitement today! Warning this will get a little off topic. Today we celebrated my MIL birthday. My FIL died this past Sept. VERY unexpectedly and she has had a very rough time coping. We even invited her to come along with us to Disney but she just wasn't up for it! When we asked my MIL what she wanted to do for her birthday, she said "I just want to feel like a kid, young and carefree" so we took her to the boardwalk for pizza and rides! It was gorgeous and near 70 today but a little cooler by the beach. It was probably about 62 degrees. The boardwalk was PACKED! it looked more like the 4th of July instead of mid-April! Here are some photos of the day, I don't have any of my MIL as she would kill me if I put her picture on the internet. She did have a GREAT day though!

Here is Matthew this morning trying to finish some of the school work his teacher sent home for the 3 days he will miss........

Here is a picture of the boys just waiting for Grandma and their cousins to show up! Notice the sweatshirts, well you will see why I mentioned this in a few moments!

Bryan and Eric on the giant swings!

Bryan and the boys on the craziest whipping ride called Moby Dick!

A view of the beach and the bikini clad beachgoers in 62 degree weather!!!!!!!! I hope you can see them!

I took this picture for Kaysmommie (Nichole), it is a very popular Ice Cream shop around here and has a TON of flavors!

The boys tearing off the last number on the countdown calendar!!!!!!

It's empty, and that can only mean one thing!!!!!!!!!

WE LEAVE FOR DISNEY WORLD TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will post our itinerary in the next post!
