Lesley, I am really loving Lauren's purple crocs! I am getting Maddie some of the purple Mary Jane style when it gets closer to our trip....which is forever from now! I like to plan FARRRR ahead of schedule.
anyways......
I love Sunshine Rewards myself! I just started in March but I am slowing building up some money. I think it is a great way to get some money for doing pretty much nothing.
Great luggage, too! We just all got new luggage last year and I am really regretting not holding out for the set you posted...I really like it and the price is nice, too!

I hope you all enjoy your weekend!

Hey, Lesley!
Finally I found you pre-trip and finished reading it! Loving it like the last report!! . I'm entering the Crocs universe for my next trip, But I'm having trouble deciding between the Disney Crocs or the Coming-soon Pirates ones...Decisions, Decisions

The luggage looks GREAT and the PRICE even better...a great deal.

Thanks for sharing the photos!!!

That luggage is adorable!

Love that luggage! Did you get it yet?

I bought the red luggage set in Jan 07, not exactly like the pictures you posted. It has a Mickey full body decal on each of the pieces. My husband thought I just put iron on patches on until he noticed the Mickey heads in the zipper pulls. LOL Now he really thinks I'm nuts. (remember he loves Vegas, I'm the WDW fan) Oh well I love my set. Not top quality, but it survived one plane trip to WDW so far, hoping for many more. Can't jump on the croc set, although many fellow OR staff members swear by them. Love the pictures of Lauren with them. Just want to also add that I really think you will love POFQ. Can't wait to hear more.

Glad you are all caught up, the Crocs universe is a good one to be in. Your welcome on the photos.

I think so too, now if I can convince Tim to let me order it

Love that luggage! Did you get it yet?

No, gotta convince DH, we have perfectly good luggage, BUT I WANT THOSE (picture 2 year old on the floor in temper tantrum mode ). We'll see, wanted to post here for everyone to see if they are looking for a good deal too.

They have the luggage in many different colors - red included, I just posted the pic of the black since it's my pesonal favorite. Many people at my work have jumped on the Croc band wagon too. Thanks for the POFQ comment, I can't wait to get off of that Magical Express bus and see it for the first time.

So today we had a great day. We got up and realized we had NOTHING to do today ( a rare thing around this house) We decided to put our Kings Island passes to use. Perfect opportunity to all get our Crocs on and try them out in the park:

They worked out great by the way. We went on a log flume ride and my feet were soaked and I loved how quickly they dried, love the Crocs!!!!
Here are some pics for you guys first of the Iffle Tower by the entrance:

and then of the kids with Jimmy Neutron:

We had a great morning of riding all kinds of rides. On our way out I was stopped by a Diser "IloveXU" she recognized Lauren and her curls and then recognized me and stopped us to say hi. Very cool meeting a Diser in Cincy, she was wearing the Crocs she inspired me to buy on this thread. Thank you!
We left right before the rain started. Went shopping tonight in the pouring rain and had the opportunity to try out our raincoats, kept us nice and dry. Disney we are ready baby! Tomorrow we will be in the 30's and I will be SO excited!
Tim got his first paycheck from 1800 flowers today so all in all we had a GREAT day. Hope all of you are having a wonderful weekend too!

OMG Lesley Luke looks like he got sooo tall since last years TR pics! I just realized I sound like some long lost relative that hasn't seen her grandson or nephew or something in years! Sounds like you had a great day! My family and I volunteered at Special Olympics today, we help my SIL & BIL they are Elks and their son(my nephew) is Autistic. We helped the children play games and pick out prizes! They all just broke my heart how excited they were! I said to DH I feel like we went to church when we were done! It was a wonderful reminder of how blessed we are!

 

[daisy_77]

I love the Croc Family Pic! Very cool!
Thanks for sharing those pics. Looks and sounds like you all had a great Saturday!

[jenr812]

The Croc pic is hilarious! I love how yours look! I may have to get a new pair LOL I really like them. Do they stay on pretty well? The kids look so grown up since last trip! They are so adorable!

Tell me about it, my babies are growing up. That is exactly why I cherish every trip with them, each year they are into something new, a little taller to experience new things,etc.
We went on a log flume ride this weekend at Kings Island and Lauren LOVED it,said it was her favorite, can't wait to experience Splash Mtn. with her this year.
I agree about Special Olympics, I'm a volunteer coach for my students and each time they get a medal I'm crying, it is a wonderful experience!

Oh yeah, it's dancing time once again
39 days until we are in Disney World

I am just so excited. We are still getting things together day by day. Today Luke was in a panic wondering where his autograph book was. I searched after church and found it. We were looking through all of the autographs he got last year, he was thrilled looking through it again. He closed the cover and was looking at it and he said "Mom, I just LOVE Disney World" that's my boy!!!! I said, "I do too Luke, just no place like it is there?" and he said "nope, sure isn't mom, I can't wait!" Me neither. .. . . .more later

Thanks! I love the new Disney ones, Lauren's aunt just got her some Jibbitz to put in hers to make them Disney-ish they are a Mickey glove and Mickey Ears, Luke got a Sally from CARS and the Cars logo, they were so thrilled when she brought those to church for them yesterday.
Lesley

Lookin' good!

Kathy

Thanks Kathy!

Thanks for dancing with us!!! I can't believe we are in the 30's. I told Tim when we reach the 20's time to get the packing list out and GET BUSY!!! He's working 68 hours for 1800 flowers this week and working on a ton of DVD's for his business so he has NO time right now, will be a busy week around here.
Lesley

Awww Luke is precious! Woohoo! for 39 days!!!!
