Princess Mya's MAW Trip Report: First Day and Going Away Party Posted 3/6/09

Hea Matt! 1 week, isn't that crazy? I was so excited I got up at 5am this morning b/c I just had to Dis. I've started packing today. Making sure the kids still have shorts that fit, finding all the luggage. Things are so slow at work right now it looks like we'll be able to leave a 1/2 a day earlier, which will be nice b/c we can stop overnight instead of driving straight through. I'll know for sure later in the week, but now we are planning to leave early Friday morning, instead of Friday night. So I've been looking for a nice 1/2 way point and a hotel. Have a great day, happy packing!

7 DAYS!

So is this when it starts becoming more real?

We have Party tomorrow at Purple Glaze and then I have to Close. I work a really weird schedule this week, but at least have a few hours off on Friday Evening to get everything in order.

I dealt with a Stomach Virus all week and the kids have head colds. I feel like Noah's family. A big bubble for all of us!

It really is getting real now
my kids are dealing with Colds :scared1:
good thing I have Well checks set up for next week we may have to change them to sick kids visits :headache:
 
I love all the stuff that arrived from the big gives! Isn't everyone amazing! The kids look so so happy! Mya's smile is so pretty!
 

How was the party??? Details...details!!

Packing, Packing! It was awesome though. We got our package of tickets, money and such. We also got a Birnbaum Guide. We have quite a few pictures, only three other kids showed up as the others were ill, but that's ok with me. I was glad the parent's were smart about it.

The kids painted a puppy, a dolphin, a butterfly and a unicorn. They really enjoyed themselves. We had Cake Balls, which was new to me and man are those sweet. I could barely eat one of them. It all lasted about an hour and then we all said farewell. This is when Mya got her backpack, button and some cute princess items. She received sunglasses, hat, two activity books with stickers and our shirts. The sizes were really out of wack, so I am going by the wishing place tomorrow to swap sizes so the kids can actually wear them. Mya does not wear a childs large nor does Aidan wear a medium. :confused3

Naomi even got an Adult large, which is a dress on her small frame. My size was perfect so I don't know what they are complaining about. :laughing:

Anyhow I will post pics later, but for now have to get ready for work and such.

Did get some really cool news about pins, but I will share that for another post!

Wow those numbers are sure getting small in my signature... Oh my wife isn't letting me take the computer with us, so once were gone, you will all have to wait for photo's, unless I can get my mom's Iphone to post here. Borrowing it and not quite sure how it all works.

That is so strange. The exact thing happened to us! Lauren's was a large...:rotfl2: And mine was a large...:rotfl2: Both equally funny!!! :rotfl: :lmao: :rotfl2: :confused3

We had to go an exchange sizes, too! :)

I can't wait to see you guys there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
 
Sounds like a great party! Sorry to hear the shirt sizes were all wrong though...bummer!
Only 4 more days! Have fun!!! And take lots of pictures!
 
Ok I have a list of items I have to accomplish this evening, but I had to share.


Mya was excepted to the Gifted and Talented program. She will never have to test again for entry, she's in it to the end.

We are quite proud of our brilliant child. Not quite sure where she got it from. :confused3
 
Congrats!!! So not only is she pretty but she is smart too...I hope you all have a great time on your trip!!!:banana:

That is wonderful news.
 
I wish I had time to really get into the gift I just got home and got to see for Mya. It is the MOST amazing journal, un-freaking believe able. Thank you Tracie for your amazing work on it. The didn't get pictures of it being opened as Mya and Mom looked at it togethor and had no photographer. We will take lots of pictures of it being used and when we get back having it completed.

Thank You!!!!

Ok now I have to pack I got another list of things to do tonight before bed....:scared1:

Wow was I sweating! I hoped you would get it today and i am glad you live so close to me! I did not realize how long it would take to make (since it was my first one). I really had a great time making it for Mya. I hope you all enjoy your parts of it and have something to always remember this special trip!

Can't wait to read the trip report when you all get back!

Have a wonderful trip!!

Tracie

PS don't worry I posted like 20 pics of it on the Big Give board!:laughing:

Please if you don't mind, pull some of those over here so others can see your great work. I just don't have time before we leave.

So I just woke up. Got my Dis fix. Now Shower, Get Mya Dressed, Read to Mya's Class, Work and then Pack.

Am I really going to get it all done?
 
You will get it all done! Have a wonderful time. Make lots of memories. :goodvibes
