[mommy2mrb]

You are so welcome for your goodies....sorry it took me so long to respond, my computer was at the hospital getting a virus removed

so happy you all loved your stuff....yay I picked cars he didn't have, lucky guess on our part! hope they enjoy it all! it was a lot of fun picking it all out and my Megan did Kamryns since she is 11 too!


I had 8 teeth pulled at one time too pre-braces ---4 baby teeth and then 4 permanent dug out of my gums....not fun, hope Kamryn is feeling all better now!


great countdown calendar, it will be here before you know it!

I didn't see the big give pics last night but they're fab and I love the countdown calendar. Our trips are overlapping.

 

[Owensheart]

You are all so sweet!! The kids LOVE their countdown calendar and it's on the fridge ready to use! I didn't realize we had one more week til' 50 days.. so we can start this Sunday.

I called to order Owen's oxygen delivery to the hotel and GKTW through Apria. They are delivering 28 oxygen tanks to GKTW and an oxygen concentrator. I feel bad because they deliver on a Friday and we won't arrive until Sunday. I'll have to call the week before and give the village a heads up!

Then they will deliver another 22 tanks to POFQ for our extended stay.

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Owen's oxygen.. (insert sarcasm here).

It is officially FALL BREAK around here, which means NO school for the entire week!! No dance. No violin. Nothing. I didn't over schedule us and we are just going with the flow and relaxing. It's so nice!!

 

[mommy2mrb]

I'm sure GKTW is used to having the deliveries made before the families get there!

Enjoy your activity free week!!!

We had a great morning! We did "gymbtastics" with Owen for his physical therapy, and then headed to the mall to meet dear friends for lunch. The kids talked us in to Gellato and we ate outdoors on the patio. The weather is fantastic! We walked around the mall, bought some new shoes for Owen and the kids played in the germ pit.. aka play area. It was hard to get in the car and come home.

We were all so excited to find Mickey Mail amongst the bills. This package came from disname: Dianemom2.

Owen let Kamryn open this one.. and when he saw the Mickey water paint set.. he was done with the rest of the package. Ha! He LOVES it so much!!

In the package were the cutest family Disney leg shirts! Kamryn got Minnie Mouse..

Carson got Donald Duck.. he wasn't home yet and we broke our promise and opened it without him. Maybe the next package we can hold out til he gets home.

I got Daisy Duck.. so cute! The shirts a little big, but I love it!! I had to resort to taking a photo of myself in the bathroom mirror because my lovely children were preoccupied water painting.

And finally.. Owen got the Mickey shirt and matching shorts/pants! They can be both!! They can be rolled up as shorts, but I kind of like them as pants.

Owen was only giving out cheeseball grins today. His nose looks awful because it has been bleeding like crazy the last couple days. I'm pretty sure it's the 2 1/2 liters of oxygen blowing up his nostrils, even with the humidifer bottle.

And the close up..

Thank you Leverk Family!! We love all the shirts and can't wait to wear them!!!

I agree!! They are great!!

Everything fit great!!! My shirt was a little large, but I love it because I have been busting my butt at the gym 5 days a week of cardio.. loose clothing is progress!!! If I lose a ton of weight before my trip, I will tie a little knot in the back and it'll be adorable!!

You are very talented.. we love everything!! Kamryn especially went crazy for her Minnie tee!! Owen has painted in the book over and over and over again! I love that it dries and you can repaint.. what a great idea.

Good for you for working out so much! I've been trying but it is hard! I am glad that Kamryn liked the shirt. I've got girls who are 11 and 12. One loves sparkly stuff and the other hates it. So I felt like I was taking a chance making Kamryn's shirt sparkly. I am happy that it worked out ok.

Owen looks so cute in his outfit. I wanted to do shorts but my DH reminded me how it can be really chilly in Florida in December sometimes. It is really unpredictable that time of year. One year when we were there, we were in winter coats and hats. Another year we were in shorts.

Kamryn loves all things sparkly and ruffly.. perfect choice!! Owen does looks so adorable in his outfit!! He woke up this morning asking to wear it.

December weather is SO unpredictible! We went to DL in Dec last year and it was 85 the first two days and 55 the last three. We just plan to layer. The pants are great!!

It's Saturday morning and I ran to the get the mail just as soon as it was delivered. We have some packages from Gap and Justice that are showing "delivered", but we do not have them. I'm hoping they are in the bulk pick-up box, but the postman forgot to leave us a key for that box. Still no packages... ugh!

The good news is that we got MICKEY MAIL!!! It was small enough to fit in our regular box, and the kids were so surprised!! They hurried and picked up the family room (that will never get old), so that they could open the package. This package was from WDWMICKEY!!

There was a card for each of them. Owen just HAD to open his own envelope, which took forever.

They each got a super cute card. Owen was so excited about the Pooh sticker!!! Kamryn's card had Tink on it and she was thrilled with the Tinkerbell iPod touch case!!! There were also itunes gift cards for each kid!!

Kamryn ran upstairs to get her iPod touch and the Tink case fits perfect!! She loves it so much!! Thank you! I'm sure Kamryn has already loaded her itunes gift card and purchased a ton of music!!

Owen is now taking a nap and I'm sure he is dreaming of the cool iPad games he can purchase with his giftcard.

Thank you WDWMICKEY!! My kids are totally stoked by the gifts... it was so sweet of you!! They look like a mess because Saturday mornings we usually just lounge around and we don't get dressed. We sure do love our weekends!!!

I am reading your story and come to find we will be at GKTW the same time! It is so exciting! We will actually arrive on December 3rd, and leave the 9th....but maybe we will bump into each other! My children are very excited and to be honest....we are too!

 

[mommyof2princesses]

Love all the pics of the shirts and pixie dust! Everyone must be getting really excited now!

 

[miprender]

Loving all the pictures of the BG. I love those shirts with just the feet of all the characters.

 

[Owensheart]

We had a fantastic Fall Break, but Kamryn is back to school! Owen's therapies have started back in full swing as well. Dance.. Violin.. Gymnastics and I am exhausted!! I started working out about 3 weeks ago and I have a new Zumba addiction! I try to go at least 4-5 times a week and besides kicking my butt... I have yet to see the fat melt away. Soon. I hope.

Did you see the great deals that Southwest has running right now? I booked airline tickets for Owen's next cardiology clinic and cardiac catherization in February. Wish we were buying tickets for something a little more exciting than cardiac intervention, this is just the next step to getting Owen to his fourth open heart surgery. He is such a champ when it comes to hospitalizations, anesthesia and everything that goes along with it. It makes it a little easier to bear. He'll have an ECHO on November 4th and that will give us the "OKAY" to fly across the country to Disneyworld.

Loving all the pictures of the BG. I love those shirts with just the feet of all the characters.

We love the Shirts as well... they are so cute!!
