Trevor's Star Wars Make A Wish trip

[NEmel]

I am praying for good news on Monday.
I love those dresses!!! They are so cute and the girls look great in them!! Awesome Mickey shirts as well!!

 

[goteamwood]

Ok... One more for tonight

When the girls and I got home from MOPS tonight there was a package at the door. The girls were SO excited they yelled Mickey Mail! I think all mail will be Mickey Mail to them

They were disappointed that we had to wait until Trev got home from school. But they managed

This was from Jen (goteamwood). Thank you SO much for blessing my kiddos! The clothes were AMAZING!!

They were So excited that there were individual bags for each kiddo... They opened them so fast It was hard to get good pics of everything.

Here is a close up of the Mickey shirts. They are perfect and the girls LOVE them! They are excited to wear them to meet Princess Leia and Darth Vader Each kiddo got one.

I love their Mickey dresses and so do they! I tried to get a close up but they would not take them off! Kara exclaimed it was the perfect dress to wear to Disney World! I love Trev's Star Wars mickey shirt and his shorts. He was pretty excited to be getting his first pair of Star Wars shorts. He wanted to wear them to school tomorrow but it is a little too cold for that! We settled on him wearing the shirt tomorrow then he will save it for his trip.

Here is a close up of Trev's shorts.

Again thank you So much for the wonderful gifts that you gave my kiddos! They absolutely LOVED them. Along with the clothes were stickers, tattoos, hair bows, puzzles and washcloths for each kiddo.

You guys are all so amazing! Thank you so much!!

Jackie

Thanks so much for sharing the photos. I am so glad they like everything, I grew up loving Star Wars so I knew that the girls NEEDED Star Wars shirts too. Your kids are so adorable and I love to see them enjoying their new clothing.

I'm not as anxious now knowing that I will now not know anything until Monday. I was a little anxious today knowing I would find out today or tomorrow... Praying you get the results you want too and get them quickly

I told the kids I signed them up for swim lessons and they start Monday. They were SO excited!! I haven't told Trev but I moved him down one level so all 3 could have lessons at the same time... Just makes it easier on me Although, I don't think that will be a bad thing as they have not had lessons since last August and they have only been to the pool a couple times since then. With Kara's surgery and then her not being able to get her ear wet I wasn't about to take 2 of them and not the 3rd!

Planning for Disney is always good It is a nice break from the stress of my kid's appts, tests and surgeries!

Jackie

I'm so glad you aren't as anxious.

That's great that you got them all in the same class. It will make it so much easier for all of you. Did the doc give you something for Kara's ears? I forgot the name of it, but we had some kids in JJ's swim class who had a special type of band that went around their ears and were different colors to seal them from water getting in.

JJ hasn't taken swim lessons since 2011 when he had a seizure during one of the lessons while swimming laps. He doesn't want to be embarrassed in front of everyone.

We got a new kitty this past weekend. She is a 4 year old calico and her name is Ava... She was in a home with one kid... Not sure she is liking it with 3 kids though! We will give it a couple weeks and see if she likes them. If not, we will give her back as it is not fair to her to have to hide all day because she is scared of the kids nor is it fair for the kids to have a pet who does not like them! She is super sweet though once the kids go to bed! She is a lap kitty which I have always wanted!

Here is a sweet pic of the kiddos at bedtime... Every couple of weeks they have a "sleepover" in the spare room. They look forward to this and love staying up late reading to each other

Jackie

What a cute kitty. I hope she can adjust to the children.

How fun to do a sleepover. It's nice they are all so close in age and can play with each other.

Ok... One more for tonight

Jackie

They are going to be styling at SWW! Love, love, love the outfits. Too cute that he wanted to wear the shorts to school in the cold.

Thanks so much for sharing the photos. I am so glad they like everything, I grew up loving Star Wars so I knew that the girls NEEDED Star Wars shirts too. Your kids are so adorable and I love to see them enjoying their new clothing.

Love the outfits. You did a wonderful job. Absolutely, the girls NEEDED SW clothes too. I'm sure this makes the anticipation of their trip even more exciting.

 

[mommy2mrb]

sorry you have to wait until Monday for the test results...prayers that they will be good...hang in there mama

love the photo of the kids all snuggled up and reading, they look so sweet hope the new kitty adjusts well to the kids!

such cute outfits for the kids!!!!

oh for Legoland...I think the kids would enjoy it...we took Megan when she was 4 to the one in CA and she really had fun!

Trevor and JJ will become best buddies - Star Wars and Legos, they will be non stop talking the entire time

 

[dianemom2]

Thanks for joining in! I love all the advice I am getting on here about things to do and places to go. Having never been it makes it a little easier to plan. Since Lego land and Legos were Trev's back up wish we are going to try really hard to make it to Lego land. Right now his life revolves around Star Wars and Legos
Jackie

Lego Land sounds perfect for your family. I think you will enjoy it.

Sorry that you have to wait so long for the test results. That is so hard!
I wish you could always get them right away. Instead you always have to wait and wait!!!

Love the SW outfit for Trevor and the tees for the girls. The dresses are just adorable too!

 

[angel's momma]

Yay for swim lessons, and your new kitty Hope she adapts so you can keep her.

Love the pics - the kids look so sweet together.

The Star Wars clothes & Mickey dresses are fantastic!

 

[billwendy]

Totally adorable!!!

 

[addictedtonostalgia]

I finally finished reading! Wow your kids are troopers, love their attitudes! Trevor handles everything like a champ and it seems like his little sisters will follow suit. Sorry to hear about all the trouble with Kara's ear, I hope that this second surgery is her last and she handles it just as well. Praying that Trevor gets good results and surgery is still a ways off.

I forgot to mention, the Mickey Mail all looks fantastic!! There are some seriously talented DIS'ers out there. Your kids look adorable in their new clothes and so excited!

 

[JWCJ]

I LOVE the Mickey Mail! Everything looks amazing, but the girls' dresses are so adorable

Got to love Dr schedules. Frustrating for us little folk; argh! Good for you for keeping up with calling for info, I might not have been *cough* as calm with the receptionist....

 

[Lilfoot93]

Thanks guys! I think I am going to have the most stylish kids at Disney World Everything is absolutely AMAZING!! I broke down and let the girls wear their cute Mickey dresses today even though it was 40 degrees and raining... Trev wore his shorts and shirt over his hooded sweatshirt and sweats... Neither rain nor cold was going to stop them from showing off their awesome new clothes to their friends Which by the way everybody who saw them just LOVED their clothes! They are super excited to be wearing their new clothes to Disney World. They are getting excited about Trev's upcoming wish trip. Trev even wrote a story at school today about going to Disney World and riding in a plane. Funny because he has never been nor has he rode in a plane but he was describing flying high above the fluffy white clouds and the magic of Disney World Not that we ever talk about what it will be like when we go...

Here is Trev's outfit today so he could wear his shorts to school.

[Lilfoot93]

Once again we arrived home from school to more Mickey Mail!! The kids are going to start getting use to this Once again more AMAZING outfits! This time from ellenbenny. Thank you SO much for blessing our family with fabulous clothes! There was something for everyone! Ariel dresses for the girls. Star Wars shirts for Trev, Scott, Papa (My Dad) and I. The kids were a little squirrelly today and I had a grumpy 4 year old so I did the best I could with pics so bear with me!

The shirts for my Dad, Scott and I.

Again thank you so much!! My kids will be the most stylish kids in town thanks to you guys and your amazing talent and generosity!

I love that he wore the whole ensemble, just layered. I had made a bunch of clothing for my kids for our oct/nov trip to Disney and they insist on wearing their clothes all the time. We just put them over thermal long sleeves, but so far have not had to layer shorts. Probably only because my kids haven't thought of it. They also wear their Captain Hook and Mr. Smee costumes from Halloween with much regularity. Ha!

 

[mommy2mrb]

LOVE the dresses and Shirts from Ellen! she does beautiful work!

what a wonderful story Trevor wrote about his trip, so sweet!
good call on the layering of the new outfits! you got to show them off!

This is one one of my most favorite Big Give pictures ever!! It seems you are going to get great use of all of the fantastic clothes!!

The girls are adorable as well, I was a star wars kiddo too, so great to see they love Star Wars!

 

[Lilfoot93]

Yes. The clothes are all wonderful and I see them wearing them often! They all wore there new clothes from yesterday to school today. Again with the layering look Trev even wore his shorts again! I told him I was going to have to wash them at some point... Again everyone was talking about how much they LOVED the clothes! Thank you guys SO much!

So I think we have decided to do just one day at Universal as the only thing we really want to see (or have to in my case is Harry Potter and since we are there to go see the Super Heroes. That way we can do one day in Lego land which was one of Trev's backup wishes. I'm sure the kids would all LOVE it! How long of a day is Lego Land usually? I was thinking we could do that the last day we are there. Our plane does not leave until 7pm so we pretty much have a full day.

Jackie

 

[ellenbenny]

So glad the clothes made it and everyone likes them. I love reading your trip report and seeing your happy kiddos!! I look forward to seeing more Mickey Mail, and reading about your fun trip plans!

 

[dianemom2]

I love the picture of Trevor with his shorts over his sweats! That is so cute!

I'm not sure how long a day Lego Land is. Sorry I can't help with that.

 

[mommy2mrb]

as I said before we went to the CA legoland, but we spent a good portion of the day there and saw everything!

 

[angel's momma]

Yay that he got to wear his shorts after all.

Love the ariel dresses & Star Wars shirts.

What great gifts! I showed the pictures to JJ and he was so excited for Trevor. Darth Goofy is one his favorite characters at SWW. EVERY time he's seen Goofy since then he giggles and tells him about seeing his underware at SWW. He loved, loved, loved that Darth Goofy shirt.

This is one one of my most favorite Big Give pictures ever!! It seems you are going to get great use of all of the fantastic clothes!!

The girls are adorable as well, I was a star wars kiddo too, so great to see they love Star Wars!

You were a Star Wars kiddo, are you still a Star Wars fan as an adult?

Yes. The clothes are all wonderful and I see them wearing them often! They all wore there new clothes from yesterday to school today. Again with the layering look Trev even wore his shorts again! I told him I was going to have to wash them at some point... Again everyone was talking about how much they LOVED the clothes! Thank you guys SO much!

Jackie

That's great that the kids are getting to wear their clothing to school. The layering look works.

I would be concerned about doing Legoland on the last day. Traffic can get congested between 3 and 6. Winter Haven is kind of out there.

If you aren't doing the water park and you're there at opening you should be able to cover the majority of the park.

There isn't much shade or air conditioning at Legoland, which is why we didn't renew our annual passes.

JJ loved going to Legoland. It's definately geared to children. One of his theater teachers works there, (be sure to see the fire show.) Driving school is so much fun, that was his very favorite.
