Shhh! Super Secret Winter Warm Up Girls Only February Get Away (from the snow)

[exwdwcm]

That is awesome that DD is so into it- that is going to make it that much more fun!!! Saw about the cat bite incident on FB too- how scary- is she all okay now?

Yes, you MUST try a dole whip. My favorite is the swirl float. Yum. Can't wait to have another. Even if it is cold outside, I still get one.

We are really having fun with it together...which was the whole point of doing mother-daughter trips...for the bonding!

Yes, DD is fine now. I'm flooding her system with probiotics now but she's doing fine.

So it looks like I'm going to have to try one of these dole whips....I do like pineapple but usually only when it's fresh....I'm afraid all of you guys will totally flame me if I don't actually try one this time!

Get the vanilla swirl one. It's not so strong and nicer on the taste buds. I get those canker sores from citris type thing and I think the full blown one would've killed me.

Am I even mentioned here? What's up with that?

Helllooooo ....you are in the very first post! And I quote:

"Last February, DD and I and BFF and her DD took a girls only trip." or something along those lines....

What exactly were you hoping I would mention? How you are going to Disney with your DH instead of with ME? How you are going to be there at the SAME TIME but staying in the fancy schmancy AKL instead of with ME? Or that you will be having all sorts of ROMANTIC time with your DH?

Here's the scoop, dearest readers, my BFF WAS invited on this trip with me and DD but she instead boiled the frog and convinced her fabulousio DH to go with her....at the same time as us! But we are having serious trouble making connections while we are there so we may not even get to SEE each other!

And for you, dearest BFF, you will be surprised to know that my DD is extremely disappointed that we aren't going to see you! (Yes, it's TRUE!) I think she likes your DH.....

Okay fine! Oh, I'm so sorry about ditching you guys for Mark. Its really hard to resist that whole AKL/romance/ I get to be the boss thing I've got going this year .

I bet we can somehow cross paths although I'm not sure with all those adrs you have . I'd like to at least get a picture and have a snack together. (Though once again, with all those ADR's, I'm not sure you'll have room for a snack). I'll bet my Disney snow globe you're not getting that dole whip .

Wait a minute....(suspiciously narrowed eyes and voice)....are you saying that I'm BOSSY????

And what do you mean "ALL those ADR's?" Just because you are going footloose and fancy free this trip, don't think that I don't know how YOU usually plan your trip around where you want to eat too, my friend!

Okay, so maybe it is usually all about the food! And no, I'm not saying you're bossy - my Mom always calls me Bossy Pants, so I guess I win that competition .

But I can still make fun of your adrs and planned activities. (I think I heard a rumor that you're considering adding a whole new activity ).

OMG...how did you hear that? Did I tell you? I'm thinking of adding hopper passes so we can go over to DHS from Epcot on Monday night to see Fantasmic!

Yes, try the vanilla/pineapple swirl one, that is actually what i get, and i get it in a float, so in pineapple juice and it is heavenly!

So Anna and I have been having some fun...(I'm telling you this girl is in the 347th level of Disney trip planning! )

Here's what we've been up to:

Anna is holding her Disney journal that I made for her (and standing in front of our countdown calendar...with only 23 days to go--whoo hoo! ) The journal has pages for each day for us to write about what we are doing, what we liked, what was funny...etc.

Here's another shot of the front:

and some of the inside pages:

And here are the mousekeeping tip envelopes that we made today. Anna put them together (after I cut them with my cricut) and wrote on them and put the money in.

Ok,

I also made this for our DTD night....I think that each morning I'll give her an envelope with our itinerary...and any special events for the day... The quality isn't as crisp and clear because I had to save it as a document, print it and then scan it (you see what I'm willing to do for you, dearest readers? )

So, what do you think?

 

[skater]

I LOVE the Disney journal. You're so creative and giving of yourself! I bet Anna won't fall asleep every night filling in those wonderful blanks .

Thanks. Yes, I do seem to remember a certain other person falling asleep each night with journal in hand....Oh well. We were a lot older!

I love how crafty you are!!!!!

Those are the coolest Mousekeeping envelopes ever!!!! What Cricut cartrage????

 

[jenseib]

I love that book. Very creative...and the tip envelopes are the cutest ever

Thank you! I told Anna was you said and she was so happy. I used the Mickey and Friends and the Pooh Font cartridges to make the tip envelopes.

I love that book. Very creative...and the tip envelopes are the cutest ever

Thank you! I was so pleased with the book. It was really fun to make!

I've been making a few more fun things for our trip....it's been a particularly stressful couple of weeks, and doing something fun to look forward to our trip helps. My parents were here for a visit. We believe my dad has dementia (beginning stages ) and it was just heartbreaking to see his decline while they were here....and to see how difficult it is for my mom.

Being creative is therapeutic for me....so here are some of daily notes that I made for DD. I will give them to her each morning with her little gifts.

Day 3 and Day 1 (forgot to put them in order when I scanned them--I know, it's shocking, isn't it? )

Day 7 and Day 2

Day 6 and Day 4

And the LaNouba "ticket" made for me by M_I_C_K_E_Y on the creative DISigns board. I'll give this to her on day 5 which is our resort/DTD/LaNouba day.

I love your notes! Especially the Dr. Who one . Its brilliant ! And clever, of course.

I also like the Animal Kingdom one a lot. Its making me hungry for Boma .

 

[PoppyGirl]

Here's the last one....I decided to make one for our "relaxing" day too.

Oy! I knew you would like that one! We watched the Silence In the Library yesterday...gotta love Donna Noble! And River Song....and the doctor was, of course, brilliant. As always.

Anna gets a Tardis necklace as her gift that day. And Mickey got mommy some Tardis earrings to wear.
