You must be very busy. lol

Declan's face is priceless!

I am.. i promise more tonight or tomorrow!

 

[justakrazymom]

I know it's been awhile since I updated the TR...life has been..crazy.

I have 3 kids dancing plus 3 kids in Nutcracker..so that's 3 dance classes on Monday's and 3 rehearsals all at different times on the Saturday. This is our 12th year with Nutcracker. Noah did it from 6-15 , touring with them a few years. He played a Party Child and then Fritz. Declan is a party child again this year, Jadziah is a clown and Taejan a mini mouse!

Then I have one playing soccer..so that's one weekday practice and 1 Saturday game every week. The Saturday games are killers because we usually have to be there at 8:30.. did I mention i work until 2:30am?? yawn...

Now Basketball is starting up..Declan is in week 2 of twice a week clinics and Ziah and Taejan start on the 29th.. Ziah's birthday is the 28th..plus my "day job" and schooling the kids.. life is crazy. Oh and of course Taxi service for the teen!

Now, because I needed this, I threw out my back..good times people..good times!

Oof, what a busy life! Sorry to hear about your back problem.

 

[justakrazymom]

Oof, what a busy life! Sorry to hear about your back problem.

You said it..once Basketball starts up for the other 2 it's going to be even crazier..plus Declan is taking a Cooking class and I forgot Swim lessons start next week..lol..


My back will be ok..I injured it coaching soccer when Noah was 7.. it acts up every once in awhile.. heat and time..lol

I am so much enjoying your trip report. I look forward to reading more when your life slows down--maybe April 2012?

We are also a homeschooling family! We will be in WDW the week leading up to Christmas 2011. I am an obsessive planner, too- Yes, another Virgo! Absolutely loving the way you write and the beautiful photos.

Thanks for the entertainment!
Suzanne

 

[justakrazymom]

Thank you! I havn't had any replies to the TR in awhile so I haven't had any motivation to work on it..lol.. maybe today after schooling I'll write a little more!

 

[suzannem]

Happy to hear it. I understand the full days. I work from home, homeschool my 2 and take them to their extra classes and Religious Ed (CCD). Some days I even clean the house. Lately, I make Disney lists and plan every minute we will be there.
Have a great day and I look forward....patiently.

 

[justakrazymom]

Yep..schooling 3 of 4, working 2 jobs, plus all the sports, CCD, swim,cooking ,karate..ahhhh..but I love it..LOL..

Me too - less replies on my TR means less writing! But now I just want to get it finished so that I have a nice record of our trip - hope you don't give up on it and eventually finish, whenever that is!

And, your daughter's Rapunzel costume is very nice - looks professionally made!

 

[ronnmel]

Love the costumes!

 

[DisneyMomma81]

Great report ~ I'm looking forward to more.

PS you can't give up on your TR yet...you're ALMOST THERE!

 

[justakrazymom]

I promise..this week..I promise!

 

[MK2010]

Just make it a writing/technology assignment for one of the kids! They can finish off the trip report! (I did make my son do one when he came back from Boston for his English) I know abuse of powers and all.

 

[justakrazymom]

yes ladies ( and gents?) I am back..I can't believe it's been almost a month since I posted an update. Life is crazy..plus I don't want this report over.. makes it too real that the trip is over. ( I am anxiously waiting to see if the off free dining soon for fall.. we may book and pray)..

So where did I last leave u? Oh yes outside of Mission Space.. Taejan was in full monster mode...the teens were with us.

After everyone rode we split up again..no idea where the teens went.. we headed to The Universe of Energy:

Funny thing is I have never done this.. it was just one that even after 2 previous trips of 24 days total in WDW had never made it on my "done" list. I kinda wish it had stayed that way!

We must have gotten there JUST as the wait began...long time in that dark waiting room:

This was probably the longest most boring 30+ish minutes ever. This "experience" could be so much more than it is.. instead I wanted someone to shoot me.. sorry..

After this we met up with Jamie and 2 of her 4 plus some of her extended family. Jamie and I have "known" each other online for like 10 years.. so it was very excited to finally meet!

The 2 kids that started it all ( we met on a message board while trying to conceive these kids):

AFter this we headed off to Club Cool for a drink.

We all felt better after some hydration and sugar in us! Taejan was in a much better mood too!

UP Next? World Showcase..

 

[MK2010]

Yay! an update! i think you should continue to drag this out as long as possible. Then when it finally wraps up maybe we can just follow you over to a pre trip report!

I like how you think.. but I am about to sit down and get pretty much the rest done..then start a PTR for next year

 

[justakrazymom]

Ok guessing no one is reading..that's ok.. i'm still going to finish this up..

After Club Cool we headed off to do more Kim Possible.. Declan truly loved doing these missions!

The original plan was all the kids were going to take part in this.. I'd get a few minutes of peace.

On the way to our mission Taejan required food:

Ziah played some hopscotch :

Mission accepted and off the went..

Taejan lasted exactly 1.5 minutes..lol.. then he was done..so Eric and the other 2 took off and Taejan and I went character hunting:

And we lucked out

Then as we continued we saw that it was almost time for Aladdin and Jasmine..so i called Eric.. Ziah VERY quickly left the KP mission and joined us, Since it looked like rain the CM walked those of us in line to the inside area.

To Be Continued

 

[justakrazymom]

So Taejan, Ziah and myself had all been walked to the indoor meeting area for Jasmine and Aladdin..we were only 2nd or 3rd in line..it was great!

We had the best Jasmine and Aladdin..they took so much time talking and interacting with the kids..it was great!

Oh and before we move along.. I must share our test track picture.. Declan face just makes me giggle..he was def thinking he was gonna die on that ride!

Up next..back to Kim Possible Mission time!
