"There's No Place Like Home" - Oct. 2014 PTR *UPDATE 10/21*

It will fly by! I can't believe we are so close now! I am with you though... a few weeks sounds like plenty of time but it really isn't!

I know!! The fact that we're under a month is CRAZY!

Since you haven't had time to post, I thought I would do an installment for you!!
First I will start by saying....

13 DAYS!!!


WE ARE SOOOO EXCITED! BUT, so busy we haven't even done a countdown calendar. Ready or not, here it comes! We only have 2 weekends left, so we are in full on "every spare minute devoted to getting ready" mode.

The boys are starting to come around to the window decorating contest, but we will still win! Of course, I'm not sure who the judge will be. Maybe we will put a piece of paper on the outside of the window for votes?? What do y'all think?

I just placed our Walmart.com order for some toiletries, snacks, etc. For this control freak, flying is presenting a new challenge. I am so so worried that our order will not get to us! We usually drive and can throw whatever we want in the car - and typically you cannot see out the back window! I like to plan for contingencies, and that is super hard to do when you are limited to 8 suitcases.

We did have to go buy a suitcase, because we only had one large one. We are allowed 8, but I didn't want to be those people. You know, the ones with 1000 small bags that you cannot possibly load on one of those carts or if you do they keep falling off so you have to make a child trail behind and pick up the bags that are jumping ship every 30 seconds. Not that we have ever done that

We have our Halloween Party tickets, our Magic Bands, our Magical Express vouchers, our trip binder....and I think we have all of my girl's Disney shirts We are all set...except for the packing part!

Oh. My. Stars. We are only 3 DAYS AWAY from the most magical place on Earth! This is going to be the longest three days ever!

This is how Mom & I feel as we're rushing around trying to make sure everything is done:


Our suitcases are halfway packed, and the sight of bags and suitcases everywhere is stressing my dog out. She knows that they mean that we're leaving...Needless to say, she's not very happy with us.

This will probably be my last PTR post, considering we leave in 3 DAYS! Granted, I don't know that for sure, so we'll see...

Anybody else listen to Disney music almost constantly when their departure date gets really close?? Because..



Anyways...if I don't post anything else before we get back, I'll...

See ya real soon!

 

[phlppians413]

Hey y'all!

So we've been back for a little over a week now, and I have to say...I'm having withdrawal. I want to go back!

Hopefully I'll get started on the actual TR soon, but with as crazy as my life is right now...



(Yes I know this is a repeat but it's just so perfect!)

Anyhow, not only am I running around like a chicken with its head cut off, but Mom & I are also in the process of trying to compile all the pictures we took (which was A LOT) so that takes a while too.

All in all, who knows how long it'll actually be before I start the real TR. But when I do, I'll be sure to let y'all know here & post a link.

Until then...

See ya real soon!

Welcome back! I hope your trip was a good one!

 

[phlppians413]

So I know y'all have been patiently waiting, so I'm very excited to announce that I have finally started the TR!

Without further ado, I present to you.... *DRUMROLL*

"I Beat the Refrigerator into Submission"...Wait, What?

Hope you'll join me as I relive our adventures in the Most Magical Place on Earth!!
