He picked LIghtning McQueen, becasue "mommy we are going to DIsney World and maybe I can show Lightning my new sneakers" I am training him right

'atta boy

She took 20 but I said we couldn't post them all

You must be so proud, I bet she is ready to pack

Just a small-ish update for me....
Under the heading "Fuzzy Disney Shopping", I got Leo a new pair of sandals. I can't believe I'm saying this but - he can't wear Crocs anymore. Well, he can, and they're fine for running around town, but NOT for serious walking. He keeps stumbling and tripping... we don't have time for that nonsense! So he's got a new pair of Lands End sandals in which he can walk right and faster.

Oh no, Kelly got crocs on my recommendation! Well, if I have to buy her something else when we get there oh well...

If he complains I am just going to tell him that his cost more than mine

Heh Heh

FockerFest is ALMOST HERE! Have a great time!

-Michelle

Hi Michelle!

Packing nightmare alert.... Apparently the laundry service decided to maybe wash my clothes in cold water maybe not. 2 pairs of new shorts worn once) were in there and now they look weird and I hate everything with them! So i gave up the packing for today, but KC is completely packed up. I am really annoyed!!!!!

OH no

He and Jim will get along famously. Jim won't pack until I force him to NEXT Sunday

You're killing me here!

 

[jcc0621]

' You're killing me here!

You....I have to live with him

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Hey Lessa...We are doing the Single Digit Dance Today

 

[Muffinygood]

Morning Ladies!

Bob's sleeping in (lazybones) and the boys are all crashed out too. I think I'm going to make a coffee cake.

Just sitting here thinking about what to wear at FF. I know I should have this all worked out already but it's been quite a week.

Had to pop in and tell you what happened last night. The IL's called and told Bob that they are coming THIS WEEK! WTH? Nice, huh? So, we went from middle of Sept. the other day, to THIS WEEK???!!!

OMG. I am going to freak out. Bob was like, "WHAT!?" He said they could come as long as they LEAVE by the 21st. Great. So now I have to do all my trip preparing in 12 hours before I leave.....

[TEminnie]

Oh I'm so jealous of you guys!!!
I saw an Allegiant ad for $79 to Orlando---was that a sign?
I wish I could go and meet you all!!!!!!!!!! My family says no more disney trips for a while, so I'll have to go by myself sometime!

 

[DisneyJo]

Jess says thanks for all the nice stuff you said about her folder

Hi everyone! Just wanted to pop in and tell you that I went shopping at our local Disney Store today and they had the Mickey starter pin trading lanyards with 2 pins on clearance for $2.99. That's a great price for pins, so if any of you still need traders for your trip, I'd check a Disney store by you!

Wow that is a good deal

Jo - WOW! The binder looks very cool! Brenna (and I!) will be waiting to hear all about your trip. Jess told her she's doing a TR!

she says she's going to write a TR but I doubt she knows what hard work it is, especially as she starts back at school 5 days after we get home so we'll see

Jo, let me know if you want a couple of these...I can pick them up for you and bring them on the 19th.

If you could Janet that would be great, don't make a special trip though as we do have some, but you can't have too many can you

Mel!! I`ll be happy to meet you for a funnel cake!! I`ll be about 6 weeks late! can you wait there for me?

Packing nightmare alert....

So i gave up the packing for today, but KC is completely packed up. I am really annoyed!!!!!

Oh no, what are you going to do?

You must be so proud, I bet she is ready to pack

Probably

How about in 2 weeks time, I'm sure there's a spare bed in someones room



OK T look away, I cut up my passporter today I cut out the yellow TR pocket things at the back and gave them to Jess so she can document the trip, we even punched a hole in them and put them on a keyring

 

[sorul82?]

I'm gonna really miss seeing old friends and meeting new, but this is the reunion I will miss most:

 

[DisneyJo]

Awwwww K

 

[puggymom]

AWW slatey, we'll miss ya


So I figure I would give dining a call and see if I could get anything with having to re-do the plan. And I scoooooooooooooored!!!!!!!

I was able to get a new Garden Grill ADR and a Yachtsman Steakhouse, Kelly likes her red meat and this would be a new one that I can try with her.


More changes coming Kat

 

[PrincessV]

] My 3 kids have always had Lands End sandals! Love them! and they last forever!!

We've done the LE sandlas since he was 1 and he LOVES them! So supportive... AND they were marked down from $25 to $7 at Sears here!

ACK!!

Oh no, Kelly got crocs on my recommendation! Well, if I have to buy her something else when we get there oh well...

It might just be Leo and his current foot size, too. He always walked fine in his old Crocs, but had to move up a size and the new ones are a bit floppy.

Oh no they di'int?!?!

Pssst.... I cut out all my pockets, too.

S'latey, I'll miss seeing you so much!

<<<<<<< RUNNING IN RINGING MY BELL >>>>>>>>>>>​

THE CHILDREN ARE PACKED!!! THE CHILDREN ARE PACKED!!!!

No, I didn't actually pack them in the suitcases, although that sounds like a fun punishment. Kidding! I'm kidding, of course. Sort of. Nah, I am.

So our upstairs has been driving me insane. Sure the suitcases have been "packed" for weeks, but not really packed and organized. So I spent the morning getting everything "trip ready". I'm really trying to reduce our stuff since we'll have that washer/dryer combo in our villa and I won't have to deal with a laundry room! Ewwww!!!

I'm really pushing for 3 suitcase for the 4 of us and 1 carryone. So far, so good.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jo - Tell Jess her travel binder is simply awesome! Can't believe you all are leaving so soon!

V - Did you say $7 LE sandals at Sears??!!! Heading there today with some high hopes!

S'late - what a sweet pic of H & Ellie! We will miss you!

Mo - Evan walks just fine in his CROCS, Maddie on the other hand.... But in all honesty, she did have to move up a size and I attribute her clumsiness to that.

Mel - It took me months to pick the right outfit for Fockerfest '07 - we ended up soaking wet from a crazy monsoon. Figures, right?

TE - I've got an extra sofa bed with your name all over it!

Janet - Thank Jim for my burning eyes!

Katt - Guess that means some last minute shopping, eh?

 

[DisneyJo]

I was able to get a new Garden Grill ADR and a Yachtsman Steakhouse, Kelly likes her red meat and this would be a new one that I can try with her.

Great

Pssst.... I cut out all my pockets, too.

Good

<<<<<<< RUNNING IN RINGING MY BELL >>>>>>>>>>>​

THE CHILDREN ARE PACKED!!! THE CHILDREN ARE PACKED!!!!

OMG T If I did that my kids wouldn't have anything left to wear






I've been looking at shops and tell me if you think this is madness.....

A is Car center
B is Walmart (may do this on way home instead)
C is Edwin Watts
D is Premium Outlet
E is Mall of Millena (not sure about)
F is Prime Outlet (depends if we get stuff at Premium, will probably not do it!

I wanted to go to a Target but they're too far away!

 

[HomeschoolMama]

V- Thanks for the tip on the sandals at Sears! They look just like A's from Payless, but they probably last longer. And now, they cost less! I'm heading there tomorrow. We can get away with shoes like that until November/December here. So, it's worth buying more.


Hmmm... And maybe he needs some for next year.

For the record, C trips in her crocs too.

 

[dreamn_Disney]

Add Bug to the list of children tripping in crocs since having to move up a size. He is getting better but I am definitely bringing extra shoes with us.
For those in shock at passporter mutilation, I must confess I do no even own a passporter. I also do not own a laminator.

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

I'm loving all this excitement!!!

Ok everyone who needs help with Kat's Spreadsheet, here's the Microsoft Office Converter Pack to download:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=CF196DF0-70E5-4595-8A98-370278F40C57&displaylang=en

Basically it converts the new Microsoft Office files (which are saved with a different file extension) into the older version so that you can open. It won't do harm to your computer as it comes direct from the Microsoft website.


Janet: Awww to Jimmy & the shoes, too cute and great training!
Jo: Jess' binder is awesome! Pretty soon she'll be organising your Disney trips instead of you.

T: You're almost done packing?!!?!

V: I trip in some of my Crocs too I've mostly been using sneakers in WDW until my feet feel tired and then switch into my Crocs. Oh and the online photoablum thing sounds like a great idea whichever way you choose (although I'd prefer the Friends & Family private way).

Kat: That sucks about the clothes. Kat did you ask V or Mo about the DDE??

S'late: We'll miss you and the Loud Children (I'm so glad I got to meet you all in May!!)

Michelle: I was so looking forward to meeting you and you're family too
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nothing from me and I'm jealous of everyone's new purchases and excited to go buy something new so I'm gonna try and make a Disney Outlet run this week since I was lazy last week and didn't do it.

We're almost there!!!!!​

 

[princessjv]

I just ordered Jim and I new shoes from Shoebuy. I got myself a pair of Maryjane Crocs (yes I am converted) and he got a pair of Minnetonka Mocs.

Hey thanks for supporting a local business! I live in the Minnetonka area.



Jo~ Love the binder! Tell her she did a super job!



T~ You will be happy to know that a priority mail package is on it's way! Better almost too late, than never!


I'm utterly JEALOUS! Here's to the single digits!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

OMG T If I did that my kids wouldn't have anything left to wear

Well, here's the thing. I buy the kids all new vacation clothes and then since it's so hot here in Sept-mid. Oct, they use a majority of vacation clothes as back to school clothes. So, with fuzzy rationalizing; I kill 2 fuzzy birds with 1 fuzzy stone.

Dang, that reads even better than in my fuzzy brain! Crap, I'm good!

I've been looking at shops and tell me if you think this is madness.....

B is Walmart (may do this on way home instead)

Jo! You must do Target! I know your little frugal self will just love it - so much more worth it that Wally World, IMO.

For those in shock at passporter mutilation, I must confess I do no even own a passporter. I also do not own a laminator.

My eyes! My eyes!! I don't own a laminator either, Margie. BUT I am the happy owner of 2 rolls of self-laminating paper. Got it from Walmart.

We're almost there!!!!!​

Hi Z! Yup, we're almost there!!!

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

T~ You will be happy to know that a priority mail package is on it's way! Better almost too late, than never!

Yay!! I was going to start PMing the heck outta you!! Woohoo!!!

 

[DisneyJo]

Jo! You must do Target! I know your little frugal self will just love it - so much more worth it that Wally World, IMO.

I just went and had another look at the Target stores and I've found one right near Mall at Millenia

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

My eyes! My eyes!! I don't own a laminator either, Margie. BUT I am the happy owner of 2 rolls of self-laminating paper. Got it from Walmart.

Hi T! Oooooh!!! Self Laminating Paper!!! Why did I not know about this?!!?!

OMG

*Note to self: Hit up Walmart for Self-Laminating Paper. End Note*

Thanks T!!! again....
