Five days Are you too excited to sleep already? How are the kids holding up?

I quite honestly have been so exhausted with all I've been cramming into each day to lack sleep but the excitement is SOOOOO there, can't wait baby!!!!!! The kids are THRILLED, and keep asking to listen or look at things. Lauren wanted to listen to the entire 26 minutes of the Fantasmic audio on the computer today and Luke had me pull up pictures of POFQ today too, they are thrilled!
Lesley

5 DAYS! I can't believe it! So happy for you guys! Hope your last few days of school go smoothly and you're able to focus! I know I wouldn't be able to! I really hope you win a dream, hey if I couldn't someone should and I want that to be you guys! Anyway have a great, fun, HEALTHY trip!

o.K, so we are officially at 5 days (in a few hours 4 days!!!!!!!!!)

Another busy day here today. Had Luke's final t-ball game this morning then I had Tim's sisters baby shower Lauren and I went to. Tonight (and I blame this ALL on Darlene by the way ) somehow this appeared in our house:

We got a call from a certain someone that the Disneystore had great t-shirt deals so off we went of course Hey, who has time to pack when we are still buying . We did get some great deals. Lauren and I found these matching shirts

Tim splurged and got a nice Tiki shirt for himself not on sale:
(it's the larger one in the back of all the shirts

Here is a close up of the detail of the shirt, it's really nice:

Then I was thrilled to pick up another shirt for Lauren for 4.99:

It is such a cute shirt and Lauren had the fewest shirts of us all.
Luke found this sleeveless one for himself and I couldn't resist for 4.99, those sleeveless ones are awesome for him in that Disney June heat and humidity, isn't it cute:

Well. . .. .all total we spent 38 for our 5 shirts, not bad figuring one of them when we are down there next week would go for that

So. . . .you were asking how the packing is going, here is a snapshot or two:

That is a picture of our carry on stuff (three small bags, one has Disney poncho's and pal mickey in it, other is Luke's CARS backpack with his gameboy, activity books for him and Lauren, snacks, gum, dramamine, etc. The other is our daybag for Disney with itinerary, will have camera, has wet wipes, etc. etc. The black carry on is the one with a change of clothes for each of us including swimsuits in it and the small plastic bag with the liquid stuff under 2 oz for the plane. (notice tim hasn't put his stuff in yet, tisk tisk ) Also, the large suitcase in the back is mine, I'm doing pretty good so far, only my toiletries and some more clothes to go and I'm done!!!
Here is the pic of the kids bags so far:

not too bad, a few loads of laundry away from being done. I put capri suns in there as you can see.
We also went to Coinstar today and got close to 30.00 for our change we've been collecting since late April, not too bad there either.
All in all a productive day.
Busy day tomorrow, Luke getting baptized and celebrating my b-day with family. Then Monday night we're having Tim's dad over for dinner for an early fathers day celebration. Busy busy busy, oh yeah and I STILL teach on Monday and Tuesday, bummer!
Oh well, thanks for all the well wishes you guys, I CAN'T BELIEVE we will be in Disney ON THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just can't wait!!!!!!!
Lesley

here and wish you the most magical trip ever!! Hope
all your dreams come true at the most magical place on

[pooksma]

Love the new shirts! We looked at them yesterday! Strange to see someone so far away with shirts we had checked out! Very cool!

We ended up getting the pirate tiki shirts for the boys and the Minnie tiki for myself. Plus a couple extras!

Only a few days left!! How exciting.

 

[moparop]

Woo hoo!! Four days! I hope the baptism goes well, as well as the last two days of school! I'll be thinking of you!

 

[2angelsinheaven]

Lesley, 4 more days!!!!! Ahhhh, I'm about to burst. So what do you still have left to do? Did you guys get to the Disney Store the other night?

Thanks, still lots more to do. I can't believe I can say to people this week "Yeah, we leave for Disney on Thursday". See you on the 18th Cathy, we'll be in DTD at the BBB.

Lesley

Hey Darlene, check out the pics last night (I blamed the purchases on you on you) Have laundry and finishing packing to do also some banking, getting the house cleaned up- looks like a family member may be staying here to take care of our cat and want to get the bed ready for her. We're having Tim's dad over for a F-day dinner tomorrow night so I have all that prep to do and entertaining to do tomorrow night so nothing will get done until Tuesday, then it's GO TIME!!!
Lesley

Lesley are you going to be updating while you are at disney??

Probably not, but if we win a wish I'll hop on to share, don't worry- I will when I get back.

Wow, 3 more days, how exciting for you and your family.

Celebrating a B-day at MK, now that would be so much fun. I love all the new pics of the Disney shirts, can't wait to see all the pictures of your family in the parks. Enjoy POFQ, looks like you'll have great weather to enjoy all those pools. Don't forget that you can also use the pools at the POR. Take the boat between resorts, it is so much fun for the kids. I love to see the families on the boat riding over just to swim. Too cute.

So exciting to see that the kids will be able to experience so many rides with you and Tim. I'm sure that you are thankful that you have spent so much time preparing for your vacation back to WDW. Now you can just enjoy your trip.
