Our Trick AND Treat- DD's Surprise Bday Trip! 11/4 Get Movin'

[Tnkrbelle565]

very cute new pics. Glad to hear she enjoyed it. Wow, they are the same age?!

Crazy huh?!?! They have the same pediatrician too and he can't figure out HOW they could be related!!! That Tink hoodie she is wearing was Aisling's on her first trip to Disney...when she was just shy of 3!!!

Glad Aisling had a good first day of school!!

Thank you! Hope you are feeling well today!

I don't think changing 3 times in one day is excessive (as evidenced by the huge batch of shirts we are packing up now!). I will see if something happens to make its way into the bag.

So what type of pin should I look out for Ash? Jackson and Cooper are excited to "trade with a real girl". yes, my kids are weird.

She looked ADORABLE on her first day! And I agree with her, those are BOY clothes! My kids are the cousin in the picture. I ran into a college friend (that I didn't realize lived here) today and met her son, who was a full head taller than Jackson. Turns out he is just a few months older, both in 2nd grade. I am positive Ash is taller than Jackson and he is 2 grades (yet only 13 months) ahead of her!

Have a great trip! I was thinking about you guys the other day! I never realized how tall Aisling was until looking at a few pictures of her by the other kids!

Wondering what happened to you! We better start planning our Christmas shopping trip now before you disappear again!!

You are certainly invited to Hershey Park! I haven't been since I was 10 so it will be a whole new experience.

How are wedding plans coming?

We did a bleu cheese burger last year (Turkey Buffalo Burger). We ended up doing a Hawaiian burger this year. It was delish!

It's funny you mention shopping because lately I've been thinking that we definitely need to get together this year and do that! You can always harass me on FB too if I disappear.

Wedding plans are pretty much non-existant except for a couple of ideas in my head. I'm in no rush whatsoever but it will probably be in 2011 so I have plenty of time to plan! It will NOT be at Disney though.

Glad Ash liked school. I saw her pics on FB. She is just so pretty!

Texted you about the pin! One more sleep!!!

Yup...you can't really tell she was premature anymore

Yay!!! Shopping!!!

You could always HONEYMOON at Disney We have a friend honeymooning there right now and I'm appalled at what I'm seeing on FB. They clearly didn't plan it out at all! They aren't even wearing Honeymoon pins...how do they expect to get free stuff like that???? Even Randy looked at the pics and said "Wow, they're idiots!"

She did love school. She is so sad that she can't go back until next Tuesday!

I did get some sewing accomplished while Aisling was at school! Two nursing covers for one of my preggo friends, a pillowcase dress of Pooh Toile for Rose and Crown, and about 1/2 of a pair of mickey head balloon appliqued jean capris.

Your projects look great.

I can't believe Ashling has started school already. We don't start until next week. But the teachers (me) had to work this week. My kids are starting to get excited. We were sharpening pencils last night.

I just convinced Dh to take me back to WDW in October. We're heading to MNSSHP on the 18th. Since you're the creative type with all your adorable sewing projects any idea for costumes? I need some help.

This week is actually LATE for most of US. The South has been back for weeks already. But I wish they could have kept it after Labor Day (next Monday) like they did when i was a kid. Makes the summer a little longer.

My only costume tip is that its must be comfortable, must not include face makeup that will just sweat off, and must be something that you can wear in Orlando heat. Toronto probably has similar weather to us for Halloween so most traditional costumes are WAAAAY tooo hot for Florida. A super easy one is to go as Mouseketeers. White Tshirt with your name and get a set of Mickey ears at the park. You could wear a skirt or capris with it.

My other tip is to go to the park at 4pm- not at 7pm. Get all the rides out of the way, eat dinner, and then when the party starts at 7...you are ready to roll!!!

I know I posted on FB about school but Love the pics and I cannot believe they are the same age and cousins!

Sewing projects look great - and you say you can't sew. I think you claim that you can't so Stacy will sew for you.

I hope to use my newfound skills to make Jordan some outfits for our trip.

Jordan just got Ruthie for her bday (early present from Grandma) so she is so excited. She is having a AG tea party at a local tea room with her friends next weekend for her 6th birthday. Can you believe our babies are turning 6???

Dont' get me started. My mom was telling me that she read this thing that you are supposed to treasure the first 5 years especially because everything after that flies by! Great!!! At the parent night at school they had to bring up that you'll blink and they'll be graduating 8th grade

Ruthie huh? Love her but scared of her hair upkeep!!!! Same with Rebecca! Glad Aisling decided NOT to ask Santa for a doll this year.

DON'T GIVE AWAY MY SECRETS TO STACY!!!! She'll never sew for Ash again! I let her do all the things I can't do....good appliques, ruffles, and patchwork!!!

Someday I'll have an embroidery machine and will be able to do better appliques. Stacy tried some of Heathers and said that they are fabulous. They all line up perfectly the first time I guess....no babysitting the machine!

Where are the pics of Jordan's outfits???

Mouseketeers are the best costume! We actually did it last year at DL after I had planned on it for several years.

We have a Pirate Room booked at Caribbean Beach, they are $25. extra which is the same $ extra as a preferred room. To the computer all preferred rooms are Pirate Rooms?

That's my best guess. Unless they have added Pirate Rooms to POP!

They do grow up too fast! Jordan informed me the other day when I wanted her to use her Disney Princess lunchbox for school that princesses are a little babyish! There seems to be an awful lot of mature girls in her grade that are allowed to dictate what they wear, etc.

She wanted Ruthie because she has Kit and Kit and Ruthie are best friends. Plus, Jordan looks like Kit and her best friend IRL looks like Ruthie.

I am just jealous! I need a Stacy to sew complicated things for me too!

I barely got the back to school dress finished in time. I just started her birthday party dress - I am using the red and white minnie dot so it can also be a trip outfit. Since I am new to this sewing thing and not very good I need to get as much mileage out of every outfit as I can!

Woo-hoo for paying off the trip and the SW credit!!! Who knows about the pirate view room but I think the preferred thing about is a good guess. What a shocker - CRO didn't know - some of them are great but some of them are clueless. I think Disney should hire all of us - we know most of the answers!

I love Southwest credits!! WOO HOO!
