Last year I bought mine online here

I will be buying more for our trip this year!

By the way, where do you all get your tee shirts for designing? Last October I got the 50/50 blend from AC moore. The designs came out great but the neck bothered me. I was hoping to find some V necks..anyone get them for making shirts & where? Thanks!

p.s. I did find Hanes perfect tee with a V neck but they are $7 each & I need like 8 for me...

I agree with you all about the summer going to fast. I want our trip to get here, but I am not ready for the boys to be back in school. It just seems so stressful with the homework, activities, & everything else that goes on.

Garrett will be in 7th grade & Riley will be in 5th. I don't have babies anymore, they get more independant everyday. This makes me sad, I would love to still be able to hold them & rock them to sleep at night. My where does the time go

It was raining, so MTM wanted to make sure he was dry. Back on with the raincoat and hat.

Thomas was very happy with the madras shorts because it has a slit for his tail!!!

More tomorrow

Whew--I am ALL caught up--you guys were chatty today!!!

It is closer to the weekend and i cant wait!! I did go to the hospital today on my break to visit Alex, but wasnt able to see him- Hes been getting alot of visitors (those darn firemen!) so since he was sleeping, they decided to cut off the visiting. Hopefully i will be able to get in and see him Saturday-But everyone has said that he is doing so great!! He has been writing notes to people. He told my dad that he knows what happened--he didnt know about the accident and his best friend told him what happened. Everyone is so impressed with the progress that he is making! Its amazing, i cant wait to see him...The story was printed in the paper a few times and the donatinos are still coming in! people are giving blood in Alex's name and weve gotten so many calls as to where they can send money for the family--Things are looking up! thank you al lfor being there for me--i will try to post an update when i get home from the hospital and see him!

That is great news, Jen. I am so happy to hear that Alex is progressing so well, though he will continue to be in our prayers. Thank you for the update.

here are some pictures from the party on Sunday

Great photos Kate. So good to see your typeface around here. My signal dropped last night

Anyway, love all the pictures, especially the one with "you" and Julia!!

There's a really cute thing on themouseforless.com. It's links for a paper chain that are decorated with Disney characters. I printed out 30 of them, and a month before our trip, the chain magically appeared. I told my kids that Tinkerbell had left it to make their wait more fun. Each night they got to take one down, and they loved to watch it get smaller and smaller.

Also on that site are journal pages for your kids to use and help them remember all they did at the World. I adapted them a bit for use at DL, but my kids loved them. I put them in small school folders, and then printed off a bunch of Disney coloring pages for the airplane ride down.

We also did a Disney movie countdown before our trip. We would watch a different Disney movie each night before we left. It got my kids in the mood, and when we got to DL, they knew most of the stories behind the rides. It helped the twins out a lot.

cool ideas

Tia-

Took some pictures just for you!! (actually any excuse to use my new camera and I am a happy camper!!)

10x zoom

same flower, same distance at "regular" setting

I really noticed the camera moving but it seemed to stabilize itself to take the picture!

Ok, where is everyone? It is awfully slow. You are forcing me to go off to eBay and shop for Mickey & Minnie!

Kate wanted us each with a Disney character. Clare suggested it be our favorite character. Does that sound good to everyone? And you would send it to Kate because she is the one that was interested in putting together a DDA collage.

We also wanted a picture of everyone that goes to WDW with the Goofy statue (like in June's siggie) inside the Magic Kingdom entrance to the right. I will use it in my DDA scrapbook. I don't know how others will use it. Plus, when I get my picture there in December, I'll know that even if I can't meet my DDA friends in person, they were in exactly the same spot during their trip.

We then needed to pick a spot for the DL visitors. It has been decided that the picture should be at the Grotto. Christi will be getting hers there this coming week so we'll have a sample of that.

So everyone needs two pictures when they visit either DL or WDW. One with a character and one in the set spot for that park.

Vicki I just want to say first... thank you for the recap, it was great to read it all together.
Then I want to say WTG on puting DL first, we all know it is THE ORIGINAL and Walts first Park so it should alsways be first when speaking of them together.

Yes! I want it to take FOREVER for my trip to come, too. The thought of my kids going back to school makes me sad already. I feel like the summer is going to fly by so fast. I'm not ready for another school year to start, for my dd to be overwhelmed with homework, etc, for my "baby" to be in second grade, for my oldest to be heading for the half-way point of high school.

The anticipation of the trip is great, so if the summer could SLOW way down, I'd be very happy.

Best of luck to you, too, Anne Marie! We can cry together on the Wednesday after Labor Day...

Beth

I have a little idea for you... next year don't put vacation right before school starts silly.

Hi Vicki

 

[kc10family]

And now you're just 4 from 2500. You are one talkative woman!

I guess you are correct

Hi Vicki

Darn it! You ruined my perfect opportunity and reason for shopping on eBay.

Hi Paula. Glad the kids liked their napkins and stickers. They look so sweet!!! And still no staples!!!
