Hi Heather, followed you over from
mousescrapper/Julie's TR. Just read through your PTR to date
You have some great ideas, maybe have to borrow a list or two or three
Your boys are adorable! They do grow so quickly. I just changed my siggie on Monday b/c by DS turned 3...he starts Pre-school for the first time in Sept. He's always been with my grandparents, so school will be new for hiim.
where did the time go?
What is it about real time going so fast and countdown to Disney going so slowly?!
Just wanted to let you know "I'm in..."
and I'll let you know if I find out anything about the username change (I'm that Liz
)
Thank you for the compliment.
My boys are cuties, I know. Not sure exactly where they got it...but they are (luckily they look enough like me and DH that I can claim them!)...of course the fact that they just both got out of bed...at 10pm...on a school night...because they were messing around and one of them got hurt...
not so cute.
I won't post that picture (okay, I didn't really
take a picture, which you will find, is unusual for me)
I so know about the sadness
of changing ages in the signature. Just about killed me when I changed Christian's from 3 to 4.
Really.
Wait until next year. 4 is SO much bigger than 3 (that is just about a direct quote from my 4-year-old)
As far as time...I'm with you there. I keep just chuggin' along on the wait-to-Disney. It's about as slow as the Magic Kingdom railroad (which is nice for the railroad, not-so-much when you're waiting to get TO the railroad). But somehow my kids have grown three years overnight. Nevermind the fact that I'M three years older (didn't bother me much to change DH's age in June as he's about 17 months younger than me and it was nice to finally see him turn 32).
Anyway
and thanks for "popping" (uggg, what a bad accidental joke) over. I'm adding more pics in just a minute. Mostly for Scrappie's benefit (okay, really for everyone's...)
Hi Heather....
well what do you know you have groopies...me and Liz
decided to pop over here before your trip happens and meet your family
so
Heather and family....nice to meet you all!
Kinda funny both our DH's are Matt's
Our first big trip to WDW w/ the kids was an extended family operation much likes yours.
I need to weed my way thru all your pages to find out what has been going on...but I read your to do list....I was always adding stuff to mine too
oh and another HP moment for you....
yesterday I stopped at the library w/ the kids as we generally do each Tuesday afternoon cause Aldine has cello lessons, but I had my nephew w/ us too cuase my sister went to the lesson (I'm getting to the HP part....
) cause her and Aldine are playing music for my DBro wedding next March....so when I asked Michael if he wanted to check out books today he declined, but Aldine wanted a new audio book so I figured I wouldn't leave him out and got Year 3 on CD for him (he's read up to 6 so far) and well he basically layed on his floor all day today except to eat and do that other thing
and listened to all 6 discs
thought you'd appreciate that!
Scrappie (J-)
back from my family to yours.
I thought the same thing when I saw that your DH was Matt. Makes it easy to remember anyway. Kinda funny that your DS's middle name is Michael too. I don't have a Michael, but I would have if I'd had one more boy. My DS's middle names are Mark and Mathew. Michael was next on the list (although I'm not sure what the first name would have been...just had to keep the M's going...unless I decided to go with Luke. Wasn't sure if I'd do the "M" thing or the apostle thing...anyway...rambling...)
to my humble PTR. It's been almost a year in the making, although the first 200 days are on pages 1 and 2 and the rest has just been since June.
That's what happens when these things get close.
Was your big family thing an adventure or a disaster? As you'll see when you read, DH, the boys, and I live with my parents. My brother and his family lives about 15 minutes away. I'm not altogether sure I WANT to spend my vacation with my family at my favorite place, but that's why we have separate rooms and tickets and can, well, separate if we need to. I also just booked my grandparents' room. Either my mom is just like my grandmother or my grandmother is just like my mom. Whichever way you look at it...we'll need some time away. But I also think it's going to be fun to be in a huge group (my brother's MIL is also coming), and it will be really nice for my kids to get to experience Disney with grandparents and great grandparents. So it's all good.
See, I knew Michael was my kinda kid! What I wouldn't give for a day to lay on the floor of my room and listen to Prisoner of Azkaban from beginning to end (still my favorite, even after being through the whole series several times). I don't have the HP audio books, though I've wanted them for a while. I have all of Narnia on my iPod, but haven't gotten HP yet (SO expensive). One day. Have Michael and Aldine seen the movie yet? I thought I remembered seeing something about them going, but can't remember when. I was pretty disappointed in the movie, but I'm so loyal to the books it's not a surprise.
Anyway, thanks for stopping over. Just remember, I've been to Disney many many times...but this is my first PTR (and my TR will only be my second...with a first that was never finished). So, I'll do my best!
