There's no time to slumber we're going back in November! we came we saw and started a TR for it all!

Whoo hoo for Magic Bands! And by the way...they now have purple at the customize your own MB in the new place by Space Mountain (where the arcade used to be) I am hoping they come out with them as a standard choice on MDE before my trip next year.

Yay for Magic Bands! Did you get the new luggage tags with them? When I opened mine I thought they had forgot to include them then realized I needed to look underneath the box that the Magic Bands are stuck in! LOL

This week is pure craziness at our house as well. Tonight is the only "off" night for the kids which means I need to run to the grocery store cause my Mom is coming into town for the next few days so won't have time to do that when she is here. Joey has his first tumbling performance tomorrow evening, then we have Dance Trunk or Treat on Thursday night (which reminds me I need to finish Emma's costume), Friday we have Joey's school Halloween party and then my MIL's church's Trunk or Treat that night. Then actual Halloween Saturday Night. The only good thing all this craziness makes the time go by faster.

Whew! I just don't know how you do it all! I don't have kids and only one job and I still can't keep up with my life!

 

[JKeenz]

Whew! I just don't know how you do it all! I don't have kids and only one job and I still can't keep up with my life!

Agreed!! One kid one job and aww man... just happy to make it to bedtime some days! I think most of us need a nap just hearing about Mo's days and schedules! A nap or a drink!

 

[MissMaryQC]

Girl! I thought life with an infant was busy... NOTHING compared to life with three tweenages! Oye vey!

At some point in this next week I hope you find the time to sit down, grab a beer and put your feet up!

 

[jandlinz]

Sounds like a busy week. You must be exhausted. We have five little ones and know how hard it is to run around from activity to activity. I sure hope things slow down a bit for you. What are the kids going to be for Halloween?

 

[JoeyEmmaMomma]

You are getting so close!! I'm so excited for you!

YES IT DOES!!! This is why i love being BUSY! Before you know it we will be on our drive!

Whew! I just don't know how you do it all! I don't have kids and only one job and I still can't keep up with my life!

HA! my house is the one that suffers. so every weekend i blitz it. One more week of football and we will be home a lot more. well the family will i will be busy with job #2 with the holidays coming. BUT the midgets have chores! hopefully the house will become ours again.

Agreed!! One kid one job and aww man... just happy to make it to bedtime some days! I think most of us need a nap just hearing about Mo's days and schedules! A nap or a drink!

Yesterday while making dinner (at 2:30) I cracked open a beer!! threw everything in the crock pot and started my evening festivities!

Girl! I thought life with an infant was busy... NOTHING compared to life with three tweenages! Oye vey!

At some point in this next week I hope you find the time to sit down, grab a beer and put your feet up!

Life with an infant isn't easy. It's way more exhausting then running kids ALL over God's green earth-- i don't remember much as i was TIRED when they were that small. But i do remember being a mess! LOL

Meg- Zombie cheerleader
Boys Masks and hooded capes to scare the living daylights out of the poor souls who dare to come to my house.

Zack did say he wanted to go Trick or treating this year! We will see once everything is set up outside.

You are getting so close!! I'm so excited for you!

thank you!! I am getting excited. I still have so much to do it's stressful!



Yesterday i was able to get everything done sadly i didn't get to megs Basketball game on time i got there in the 4th with 30 seconds left! Eh i tried.
VOLLEYBALL Season is UPON US! Thankfully i am the coordinator and scheduled only two practices while we are in our happy place, my helpers can handle it. BUT i do believe i will have 16 girls.
Yes i am splitting the team.



here are some pictures from The bulldogs last home game:





the two girls pictures above are in the squad lower then Meg! HA HA! she is so short.

Practice the other night


with a full moon


Came home and Lex was wondering why Zack was in HIS bed






Ok i need to get a few things done here then i hope to get an update!! Talk SOON!!!

 

[cajunfan]

You are not the only one that will probably buy a custom MB...but I want that purple one as part of the reservations too! But then if the Figment one is still around when I go next year, I will probably get him too.

You know I wondered about the other two girls in the picture with Meg...she is tiny! I noticed their uniforms were slightly different, so was thinking that they were older.

Soon you will be in that Happy Place!

Can't wait to see pictures of your 3 in their costumes. I have one who is going as a zombie prom queen but she is jealous of her sister's baby costume. So as of now she is also going as a baby on Friday for the safe halloween at the high school, then will do the zombie prom queen on Saturday. My girls are figuring this is the last year of real costumes. Halloween is going to be crazy for us, girls have a travel soccer game at 1:40. I'm figuring we are not going to get home till about 3:15-3:30 depending on how quickly they start the game and how fast we leave after it ends. I tried to convince both my girls that they wanted to be soccer players - this way when we get home they could just go right out trick or treating. They have informed me that I don't need to walk around with them they are big enough to trick or treat on their own. .

 

[DMGeurts]

Awww... I loved seeing the Midgets in all of their gear! I hope they had a great season. WOW!!!! Peanut is so tiny!!! But she is so spunky and adorable!

We are down to mere days, my friend!!!! It's going to be the most epic trip yet!!!!

D~

How FUN! you better post pictures of everyone!! No way.. I won't allow my kids to walk around yet.. Then again i do live in Chicago!! Can't wait to move..


So...

Which means we leave in:

2 weeks!!! WE LEAVE IN 2 WEEKS!!!

I should start packing... you know me and that dreaded PACKING! Thankfully my suitcase is still out and has some stuff in it from the Duffy trip!

Since it is now only 38° i can probably start packing our shorts and tee shirts!
i have a meeting with my big Boss today Downtown crazy2 which i need to prepare for. Once i have that done i really need to finish up the Duffy trip. 2 Weeks is going to FLY BY!


Have a little Faith Trust and PIxi Dust!
°O°

 

[JKeenz]

oh my gosh how fast time is flying!!! I can't believe how close it is!! Good luck at your meeting!! pixie dust that will mean something good!

Yesterday while making dinner (at 2:30) I cracked open a beer!! threw everything in the crock pot and started my evening festivities!

haha love this! Whoever invented the crock pot should be knighted or something. A serious real life super hero. I thought I liked it before I had a baby... I had no idea!!!
I left work yesterday at 12:30 due to my inability to tolerate shenanigans.... grrrr.... I ran some errands for the trip, came home and organized a little for the trip, then went and picked up the little guy at daycare. Last night I really enjoyed an adult beverage!! Much needed after yesterday! And now I REALLY can't wait for vacation...........


I have been working on finalizing my "Disney Daily" sheets to give everyone each day with all of our plans (ADRs, FP+, etc.) and also want to finalize our itinerary. Then plan to upload to Staples and have them print everything since it will look nicer than on my printer... plus my printer is in the attic and I'm not sure if I have any ink?! And rarely need to print, so I don't feel like buying it!

 

[Wood Nymph]

Can't wait to move..

Are you planning on moving?

That is one nice thing about going to Florida when it is cold up here - you can pack the summer clothes and not have to worry about washing clothes at the last minute.

I hope you and the kids have a great Halloween.

They did good. I was proud.
She is something.

Yes. Very soon we will start our drive! You and Suzi will be parting it up BIG!

oh my gosh how fast time is flying!!! I can't believe how close it is!!

Tell me about it.

Good luck at your meeting!! pixie dust that will mean something good!

It was productive. MY stupid people levels are at an all time low, the filter of my mouth is broken. so i am sure you can see how that went. Thankfully my boss totally gets me and is always on my side.

I cannot agree more! i cannot live without my crockpot! we would eat fast food everyday.. Yuck.
Last night was their LAST practice. so we will get out life back.

HA HA HA! I don't blame you. Probably cheaper to go through staples then to buy new ink! LOL..
can't wait to see what you make and print!

Are you planning on moving?

If all goes well I would like to be OUT of Chicago when the kids graduate grammar school.. time and $$ will tell. Yes, i can't stand living here anymore. It's a great place to visit, not to live.

That is one nice thing about going to Florida when it is cold up here - you can pack the summer clothes and not have to worry about washing clothes at the last minute.

YES!
Have you noticed the change in weather? yesterday was 30's then i hear next week in the 60's? I soooooooo hope no one gets sick
everyone is coughing now.

I hope you and the kids have a great Halloween.

Thank you!!! YOU TOO!!!




For all of my goulish friends!
