And these to pack for snacks:

Wow, you guys must really like fruit snacks!!

I really like this BAMA shirt from the Disney Store:

That is ADORABLE! Love the adult princess shirts, too. I'm SOOO bummed they took away our Disney stores here.

Glad to hear you are not underwater, Becky - I have some friends in Nashville who are really hurting. Williamson County, where we used to live, has been declared a disaster area.

Hi!!! I just found your TR and loved reading it!!! Your girls are adorable and I can't wait to read more about your trip!!!

Hi!! Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you're joining in!!

YES!! My girls eat fruit snacks all the time!! Yes, we are not underwater--thank goodness!! We were very blessed! I'm so sorry to hear that you have friends who are hurting. I cannot believe the devastation that has occured. Millington, TN (the town over from us) had A LOT of flooding and was also declared a disaster area. It is where the Navy Base is located. Those people lost so much.

As you read in my previous post, Brent painted our Master Bedroom a lighter blue color. He worked from about 7:00 pm until around 3:30 this morning! (I ended up having to sleep in the guest bedroom) But I woke up this morning and was AMAZED at the color! I love it!! Brent did a really nice job with the paint!! Take a look!!

And looked what came today from the UPS man!!! Ally was sooo excited! Let me tell you--surfanddirt.com was sooo fast shipping these out (I ordered Saturday)! And I just got an e-mail from Crocs.com saying that my order with them JUST shipped today. A bit slower I might say! (Claire was so sad that her Ariel Crocs hadn't arrived yet)

And last--but certainly NOT least--Fairy Godmother Katie (DWGal210)!! Katie sent the girls a big Disney package last year before our Disney trip and did the same for them this year! It came last week and the girls couldn't have been more excited!!!

Thank you so much Katie for making our trip so special by sending the girls these goodies!! It was so kind of you to do this for them yet again!!

Katie was so sweet to send the girls such great goodies! I bet the girls were just thrilled!

Hello Becky!
I know I did not go back far enough and need to go back; but I went back to May 2...
first, I am so happy to hear that you guys did OK through the bad weather and I will be sure to continue to keep others in my prayers for a quick recovery from the mess...
next, great shopping finds! I love shopping for my trip..you found some great things

to answer your question about crocs...yes, Disney has the new line of disney crocs and some really cute mickey athens for adults. The designs that I had seen at the resort and in the parks are not listed on the croc website as of yet. But, they are regular priced!

I love the way your bedroom turned out! love the color scheme...
Have a great day!
Connie

Your bedroom looks so nice! My opinion might be a little biased though since our bedroom is blue and brown too and our comforter set is almost identical to the one you have! Great choice!!! Your new house is just beautiful Congratulations! Also good selection of crystal light packets, the peach tea is one of my favorites. You are getting so close to your trip.

 

[Dancegrl624]

Your bedroom is beautiful! I love the brown and blue combo. Our bedroom is like an ocean/bright blue. I picked it to match our comforter which was blue and green stripes. Well, when we moved into our house almost 2 years ago, we couldn't get our queen boxspring up the stairs (the ceiling is kind of low and our stairs have a couple of turns). So....we had to get a kingsize bed (2 twin boxsprings) which meant we had to get a new comforter. We just settled on something inexpensive (since we had to buy a new bed) and I hate it. It's just an oatmeal color which is just so bland in our bright room.

Love all the goodies your girls got!

Shopping!

Love all those crocs! They are so cute!

I bought Allison that same word search at Target about a week ago. They did not have anything "boy" for Luke. I still have to find him something similar.

Your bedroom is beautiful! Its amazing what a difference a new coat of paint will make!

 

[MHTeacher]

You won't believe this, Becky, but our master bedroom is almost the same. We have the same blue/brown comforter set! Brent did a great job painting!

 

[lmillercrew]

WOOHOO for shopping!! You did a great job! Too cute.
And your bedroom looks beautiful. Brent did SUPER! I don't let my DH paint. He's not so neat on the edges, know what I mean?

 

[klacey1]

Love the comforter/dark furniture-- it's just beautiful! Matches perfectly with the wall color.
Love the crocs too-- the pastel lavender and pink is such a pretty combination.

 

[cinderella crazy]

Love all the shopping items! I've been debating about getting Lauren some crocs before we go. I suppose if I'm going to, I better get on it! Thanks for the heads up on them!

 

[Mommy2LittleVols]

Whew! I'm a bit behind. Let's see what I remember...

I got Sarah Kate a giraffe print dress from that Gymbo line, too! Great minds... The girls' new Crocs are super cute! SK's feet are still too small for Crocs. She's still in an infant size 3!

Great buys on the necessities! I'll be making a trip for that stuff within the next couple of weeks, too.

LOVE the new bedroom color!! Brent did an awesome job!

What an awesome surprise from FG Katie!!

Thanks!! Yes! The room looks totally different blue! Thank goodness b/c I didn't care for the dark green!!

You won't believe this, Becky, but our master bedroom is almost the same. We have the same blue/brown comforter set! Brent did a great job painting!

Oh wow!! Great minds think alike, huh?! Brent really did a nice job!!

WOOHOO for shopping!! You did a great job! Too cute.

Thanks!! Brent is too neat that it takes him forever to do the edges--but it pays off in the end!!

Love the comforter/dark furniture-- it's just beautiful! Matches perfectly with the wall color.
Love the crocs too-- the pastel lavender and pink is such a pretty combination.

Thank you!! Brent matched up the paint color without having the bedding to match it to!! I think he was spot on!!

Thanks Alicia!! Connie posted that they still carry them at WDW if you want to wait until you get there!!

Isn't that line adorable?! I'm a sucker for animal print!! Oh wow!! Size 3 is tiny!! Both of my girls have big feet--Claire is in a toddler 9 and Ally is in a child's 2!! (Brent wears a men's 14 so I think they take after their Daddy)

the bedroom is gorgeous and what a wonderful pre-Disney gift...your girls deserve it w/ all the crazies w/ moving...

Today was Muffins With Mom at Ally's school in honor of Mother's Day. Moms were invited to the classroom to enjoy muffins and juice with their child. I had a nice time with Ally--just the 2 of us!! Here are some pics of the event:

This is was waiting for me at her seat

Her teacher put together a "Mom's Best Recipes" cookbook that featured 1 recipe from each child--their favorite food their mom makes!! Here is Ally's!!

They were all so funny to read!! I got a kick out of Ally's friend Gavin's recipe! It said: "My mom buys a pizza from Domino's Pizza so the cookers make it."

Ally holding the picture she made me (her eyes look shiny b/c she's getting over pink eye but I still have to put cream in her eye)

The poem and picture Ally made me

The poem reads:

Being a Mom

Being a Mom is a curious thing:
Purses filled with crayons and little string;
Treasures framed on refrigerator doors;
Kisses and hugs - who could ask for more!

It's hard to imagine a world without Mothers.
They're useful; they're helpful (sometimes they smother).
But with every kind word and warm embrace,
Come eyes full of love and a smiling face.

So, thank you to Mothers for all that you do,
From teaching values to tying shoes.
Thanks, Moms!

And a picture of the two of us!!
