I think the proper word is "sick"

And you don't plan on shipping a box ahead? Forget it. No way you get that packed in your airline bags.

People like you make me rethink joining in on the SM and FE fun, but I KNOW I would never have the time to come up with something as great as that, and that just wouldn't be fair, you know? I'm sure everyone will appreciate your hard work!

Thanks for the support! I knew I could count on my girls to pretend that I am not totally crazy

I have a big duffle bag style suitcase and I am pretty sure, with a little bit of skill along with a little bit of luck, I will be able to fit all of my F/E & S/M stuff into it.

As a matter of fact, I do. It is called Tinderbox and I believe it is a Miller Paint.

Thanks for the compliment, I love it too As you can probably imagine, it was hard for me to pick a color and actually commit

 

[Magic3forme]

Wow, love the stash!!

thanks to your pics, I found kids bonine today, I didnt know they sold it for kids. now my dd 10 will be all set. we went on a ferry ride this weekend to the Statue of Liberty and she felt queasy, but yet she can ride loop de loops all day.

So are dressing up now for MNSSHP??? ( it is an excuse to buy more)

I'm not sure anyone is pretending you're not crazy, I think you're just surrounded by others of the same 'mental condition' if you will!

We're doing the double dip in October so I've been reading your trip report to make sure I stay on-task with my planning. I have just got to ask--where did you get the personalized totes for the kids?? Thanks!

DH and I won't be dressing up. I want the kids to dress up, but since going to the party is a surprise, I would have to buy costumes and hide them and hope that they fit. I was thinking Peter Pan and Tink, but Madison is 10 and at a weird stage where I don't know if she would think it was "cool" or "embarrassing"

Remember my Disneyshopping.com addiction? Yeah, those were the first of MANY orders. Look under the "personalized" section.

I got my Disney Transfer packet in the mail yesterday! Very exciting

I also decided to buy costumes for the kids to wear to MNSSHP. Since it is a surprise, I couldn't really get their input, so I made an executive decision (who me? ) and decided on Tinkerbell and Peter Pan. I think it will be really cute.
