This Is A Poncho-Free Zone!--May 22-29, 2010 PTR (New PTR!!!! 5/31)

Your day sounds similar to mine; running running running and some more running around.
So cool that Ally's dance studio has mommy watch night ours doesn't. I don't think any here do. I love watching the little two and three year olds at the recital. They are always too funny and cute.
I loved Prep and Landing!!! We got home about 5 minutes after tonight's softball festivities so we missed the first couple of minutes.
You NEED to take pictures of the Princess of the Frog event and share with us.

Yes--I just love Mommy Watch Night! They do it twice a year and it's the only time (besides the recital) that we get to see them dance.

Prep and Landing was sooo cute!! We really enjoyed it! And I did take pics of the Princess and the Frog event--I will post pics soon!

Wow, sounds like you're quite busy this week, particularly today! Hope you have a lot of fun at The Princess and The Frog event!! Can't wait to hear all about it (and see pictures!) :goodvibes Frankie and I watched Prep and Landing last night...it was cute but way too short, I wish it were longer hehehe :) Hope you have a great day and looking forward to hearing about it! :cool1:

This week has been SUPER busy and this week is even busier!! I will update soon--I promise!

Hi Becky

Just love the Thanksgiving and Santa pics - I just love how you Americans throw yourselves into tradition - we don't have it so much here in the UK and it is such a shame!

I also loved how Ally behaved when the Reindeer on the Carousel had been taken - my DD Amber would have acted exactly the same. I always tell myself its nice that she has such spirit (even if it can be a little draining at times!)

I adore the Tiana bow - I haven't forgotten to place my order (you were going to look into international shipping for me) but as I didn't need mine before Christmas I thought I woudl let you get Christmas orders done first. You really have a talent!

Love Sara xx

Thank you Sara!! Yes, Ally definitely has spirit that produces some major DRAMA!! Thankfully it isn't the norm for her.

Oh yes! I honestly had forgotten about that--it's been so crazy here! Just let me know and I will see what I can do. I'm going to take a break over Christmas b/c we'll be out of town for 2 weeks. But after the New Year, I'll be back up and running!!

Love, love, love the Santa pictures!!!

And your hair clip is fantastic! :goodvibes Great job!

Thanks you!! :goodvibes

Hi Becky,
Just getting caught up on your PTR. Been so busy lately not much to DIS, I guess tis the season. Anyway I love the pics of the girls with Santa, just beautiful! Those dresses are adorable too. Did you get them from Kelly's kids? It's sad Kaylee won't wear any hair bows at all now. It is a fight to even get her hair looking nice lately. She is so picky about her clothes too. Enjoy those precious little girls as long as you can, they grow up so fast. She is excited to see Princess and the frog this weekend hopefully. I really wish we could go the same week but we have so much going on. Kaylee has ( not out of school until the 25th!) dance rehearsals and Thomas has graduation for real this year ;). Looks like June for us this year. Looking forward to hearing more about your trip plans and seeing the outfits you buy for the girls :laughing:.

Nichole

Hi Nichole!! It's sp good to see you posting on the DIS--I've missed you over here--but glad that we can keep in touch via FB! No, the dresses aren't Kelly's Kids--I bought them at a children's boutique last year. Did you get to see Princess and the Frog?! We just LOVED it!!

Hi Becky! Hope you're having a great week. :goodvibes

Hi Leanne!! We're having a good but very BUSY week and this week is even busier!!

Hi Becky!
I haven't heard from you in a couple of days. I bet you must be really busy.
Hope you all enjoyed P and the F. I've read so many great reviews.
Can't wait to see pics from the disney store event.

Hi Barbara!! We have been sooo very busy that I haven't even been online much this weekend. I will post an update with pics as soon as I get a chance!!
 
When all of the Kirsten retiring hype passes I'd check Ebay again. I bet the prices on things will go down. They did with Samantha.

I will have to remember that, thanks for the tip...oh and btw...I started my new PTR for BLT next yr November if you get a chance stop by and say :wave: thanks

J~
 
Hey Becky!! I dont think I ever posted about how much I like the Tiana clippie!! SOOO adorable. I am sure the girls looked so cute in them at the movies. I am going to post pics of my kids at the movie soon. As you know...this train has NOT stopped since I got off school! Right now, I am taking a break from making the 100 + gift bags for all of the kids classes and extra curriculars. :upsidedow

I also wanted to see if there is any chance that you could make me an aqua blue Minnie clippie and a red and black minnie bottlecap bow by January 5th? If not, no biggie AT ALL. I know the holidays are totally crazy and I would hate for you to take time off of your family since I waited SO long to decide what the kids were going to wear on this trip :rotfl:

Can't wait for your next update! I will probably post about the kid's outfits some time this week.
 
Hi Becky! I'm still here, keeping up to date with you on FB more these days. Boy, this time is hectic,but hope you and the girls are enjoying it! The tiana clippie is soooo cute! You are so talented! Now if I only had some girls....lol!!:cutie: Looking forward to your next update!!:goodvibes
 

Looking forward to the P&F pictures. We saw the movie Saturday, and it's a good one! I don't think boys would be disappointed at all. It's got girly-girl stuff in it, but plenty of guys, too - good and bad. We are looking forward to seeing the Tiana musical show Magic Kingdom is doing very soon.

Like everyone at this time of year, we're all just trying to keep a steady pace at making our to-do lists grow shorter. Hope you continue to have success with that this week as you move into an exciting time next week. Hope you have great times with family and friends over the next couple of weeks, but most of all, that you just have some fun relaxing time being a mom. :)
 
Hello!!!! Joining in, in a little late, but better late than never!!!That's so exciting you and Leann are going back the same week again. I see everyone that planned May trips together going back in May again. I kind of wish I was too now. We're trying out the end of September this year though. Hoping for free dining or a good discount( we want to stay at Coronado Springs) and low crowds.
 
I got the Christmas card yesterday. It is so cute. I get excited when I see the mail lady at our mail box, the Christmas cards are cheering me up.

Whew, I am caught up finally! :laundy: life's tasks sure do get in the way of DISing. :rotfl2:

I LOVE the picture of the girls with Santa--so adorable. :) My Lilian did not do so well with her first meeting with Santa this year! LOL Today when we were at the museum, she saw him from afar and said Santa, Santa all excitedly. However, she was not thrilled to be close to him again today!

The clippie you made is too cute. :lovestruc I thought about trying my hand at some before we go down as opposed to buying them from Etsy. Should save a little money that way! :cool2:
 
Hi Becky! I just finish reading you TR and just caught up on this and I'm excited to hear about this trip! Those are such cute pictures of the girls with Santa!
 
I am just checking in on all of my PTRs now that school is out. I hope you are having a great Chrismas season. Merry Christmas!

Hi Kristen!! I know! It's been so hard keeping up with being sooo busy these past few weeks. But things are slowing down for the holiday which will be nice!! Expect an update soon!

Hi and welcome!! You're definitely not too late!! Yes, it's fun that we'll all be there the same week again this year! Ooh--I bet the end of September would be a wonderful time to go!!

I got the Christmas card yesterday. It is so cute. I get excited when I see the mail lady at our mail box, the Christmas cards are cheering me up.

Hi Dana!! I'm so glad you liked our card and that it was able to brighten your day!!

Hi Megan!! Merry Christmas to you, too!!

5 MONTHS




:banana::cool1::love::yay::cool1:

:dance3::cool1::dance3: Whoo hoo!! 5 months!!!! :dance3::cool1::dance3:
 
Sorry I have been MIA everybody!! I was totally consumed in trying to finish Christmas shopping, Ally had her Christmas musical, planning and executing Ally's school Christmas Party, dance watch days for both of the girls, and I could go on and on! Then after everything was done on Friday, I woke up Saturday sick as a dog! But I made myself get up and wrap every present in the house (it was the only day I had to get it done)! Brent thankfully took the girls Christmas shopping with him for the day. I felt some better so I didn't think much of it. Well I woke up on Sunday morning and my throat was so swollen that I could barely speak or breathe! Brent and I were supposed to sing a duet at church that morning but that obviously didn't happen--I went to the doctor instead. I just knew I had strep (it's the only thing I've EVER had--when I get sick it's always strep)! I was right--it was strep! They gave me a lovely shot of Penicillan in the hip (which hurt like CRAZY)!! They told me that we needed to postpone our trip to Alabama until Tuesday (we were supposed to leave on Monday). Then we left and Brent got me a milkshake from Sonic and brought me home and I pretty much slept all day. Monday I woke up and felt some better. It was still hard to talk but as the day progressed, I felt even better. I ended up doing a TON of laundry and packing for me and the girls. Today we drove down here to Alabama--we'll be spending Christmas through the New Year here--so I should have plenty of time to relax and get back into the swing of things here on the DIS!! So look for more updates soon!!

One BIG thing regarding our trip is that a new deal came out on Monday!! Our family and my parents will both be receiving $750 gift cards when we check-in!! Not the best deal but it's definitely better than NO deal, right?! I'm excited and I'm trying to think about what we might use it for!! :woohoo:
 
Hi Becky! Wow! I am soooo late to your PTR. How did I miss the fact that you had started it??? I'm so sorry, but I am totally caught up now.

I hope that you are feeling better. There is nothing worse than feeling crummy while travelling. It just takes it all out of you. Hopefully you can get some good rest on your trip.

It's so nice that you are going to do a trip with family. We are the exact opposite of you guys....we seem to have some family with us on every trip that we take. It's really nice to share those special moments with them. I think you are going to have a great time!

BTW - we just watched the Disney decorating show tonight that you have been mentioning. My mom was watching with us and she said, "I think we all should plan to go to WDW together next Christmas so that we can see the lights." I agreed instantly (of course). We'll see.... but it's nice to think about!
 
Strep is what I get sick with too. The kids usually have it when I get it, except they are running around and playing like it is nothing and I am stuck in my bed and cant move! It is so strange how adults get it so much worse than the kids!

So happy you made it to AL! I know that you will be able to rest a little bit now! I made one more trip to Toys R Us (which is about 20 minutes from my town) because they got in some more Mickey Mouse Clubhouse kitchens for Aiden!:rotfl: I was laughing when I was checking out thinking of how much time I spend getting Disney things. ;) He will love it I think!

I spend Christmas at my Grandparents as well. What do you guys tell Ally and Clarie about Santa? My parents had us write letters to him telling him we would be at my Grandparents. It was so much fun to have the whole family together on Christmas morning. Have a WONDERFUL holiday, friend :hug: Cant wait to see pics of all of the girl's goodies!! I know my kids are excited!
 
PS: Yea for updates during the holidays :dance3: I am finally starting to relax and cant wait to hear what you guys have planned!
 
Have a fabulous time, Becky! I'll try to start my TR from Disney or at least do Facebook updates.

Glad you are feeling better!!

Take care! :goodvibes
 
Oh you poor thing! I'm glad to hear you are feeling better. We've had that going out through our house too.
Have a good trip.
:cheer2: for the giftcard.
 
The gift cards aren't exactly what we were hoping for in May either...but like you said, better than nothing!

I just got over my strep throat, and had to take Bella to the doctor with an ear infection...antibiotics are running rampant in my house! :lmao: At least we will be better by Christmas though! :goodvibes
