Hey girls! Let me be the first to say,..
.Happy October!!!!
This is one of my favorite months of the year!! April is it's tie!! I have loved October all my life,and it's also the month of my Grannys birthday~ the one y'all hear me talk about..and April has always enchanted me as well~and we got married in April and my sweet baby girl was born in April...SO!! I am happy. Just saying October gives me joy! I don't know why, but there it is! For Mike it would have to be December...now, I love December too, because of Christmas and my focus on the Lord, and that's the month I became a mommy!!! But, Mike loves that month like nobody's business...what about y'all? What month makes you joyful?
Well, we are in the 30s now,..38 days today.
wooo hoooo!!
I have been working on rewriting our packing list,..as the kids have gotten older, our list has evolved obviously. So, I started working on a new one Saturday. Over the last few weeks, I have been buying the stuff we all get a high from:tiny toiletries at
WalMart and Target. It's a sickness we have. But, we Disney girls have it and are proud of it!
So, I am going to go thru my Disney bag with my packing list today and start checking things off (another nerd habit I have-making lists and check marking things).
I also have to get a wish list from my kids.I have to confess to y'all that I have been a slacker in the Christmas shopping dept this year.
I am either finished by the first of October, or have a list and have ordered things that need to be ordered.But not this year. We have had lots of changes this year with our church and school schedule, our office and dance for dd that I have gotten behind!! Plus, they are not sure what they want this year. I think DD wants the new Caroline AG doll,..ds13 still wants a few big Legos, and ds17 wants something for his car...and he got his Sr ring ordered last week...this might be part of his Birthday...it is suppose to come in the week his bday falls,..so we will see. But, I gotta get this list going before my trip. I want to get my shopping in before we leave~if anything has to be ordered my mom or neighbor can come get it and put it away for me.
I am not doing a PTR this trip either, but I will have things to share, so I will just do it with y'all again like last year! I thought it was fun that way! Then if I forget anything important y'all can tell me.
So,..packing list today, gotta get our dog's annual vet appt this month, Christmas lists,and be on the lookout for Mickey Mail..besides all the other things we have going on! Oh well,..busy days are never boring! But, I have to admit,,..when we start getting this close, as crazy as this is,..I start to have strange emotions. I know you all do to~even though we go to Disney annually, at this point, I start thinking that after all my planning days, and anticipation...as soon as it gets here, in a little over a week it'll be over. Is that not crazy?!!! I hate that I do this. I really look forward to each trip and know what a blessing it is. I love it when I am there and am so very very thankful.I enjoy making the memories with my husband and kids. But, I still dread the end. That makes me feel uncomfortable,...and selfish or something. I try to push those thoughts away and not think about it, but they still come and I still hate that! Who else does this? Tell me I am NOT the only one!!!
Okay, well, I am finished with my long dissertation today...just wanted to share my excitement for Disney and Fall...and lament that I am woefully lagging in the shopping department!!! Have a great day!
It happens here, too. Usually scares the crap out of me and then I have trouble going back to sleep.
I absolutely HATE the cold. 
Just over 100 days to go!
the whole time!!!! Enjoy it! I know,...every time we go I feel the same way...crazy isn't it!!??? What a great time to go....I love the Halloween Party and all the fall decor.
Of course my ticker shows for the day we arrive. Looooonng drive.
