Trevor's Star Wars Make A Wish trip

[angel's momma]

So sweet that Kara said she'd sit & watch Allie take swimming. I hope Kara is able to swim on the trip.

The Tink shirt is wonderful, and the back packs & goodies are so neat. Poor Dad, hiding in all of the pics.

Had a rough day today but when I finally made it back to my apartment through a blizzard there were beautiful thank you cards in my mailbox. We love our pictures thank you!

Dear Jackie, I just wanted to say hi, catching up on all that has been happening. May this week be MUCH calmer and full of LOTS of Pixie Dust!
I adore that T-shirt! How appropriate!

 

[Tonyababyrn]

You are very welcome! We had so much fun making the backpacks. I had to get my little Star Wars fanatic's approval on them.

 

[PrincessMickey]

The last one from yesterday is from PrincessMickey. Thank you so much for blessing my kiddos! They LOVE their robes! You couldn't tell it on Kara's face yesterday but today she really likes it... Amazing what a couple days on antibiotics can do for you I still need to get a pic of all 3 with their awesome Jedi robes!

I will get a better pic of the kids in the robes this weekend. Thank you!!

Jackie

You are very welcome. I hope they enjoy them and get lots of fun play out of them!!!

I hope you have a fantastic trip!

How is the chin healing up?

What a great night to get a Tinkerbell shirt! It must have perked up a bit after such a stressful day.

And the backpacks will be perfect for Disney World. My kids always carried a backpack with their own water bottle and a jacket for the evening. If we got a stroller, then they would throw the backpacks in there. If we didn't get a stroller, it meant that I didn't have to carry everything myself. Which was wonderful!

Trying to catch up is all I seem to be doing these days I am so behind on so many PTR's I have subscribed to... So far this week has been calmer And sunny too which helps!!

Yes. The shirt was appropriate! Perfect timing for my stressful day!

The shirt did make me smile when I seen it! Perfect for the day I just had

Kara's chin seems to be healing pretty good! She is Loving showing it off to everyone!! Stitches come out Wednesday!! Yay!!

The backpacks will be perfect for DW! The kids have been talking about what they are going to be carrying around while in Disney Of course most of it is food they are talking about I love the idea of them carrying things around instead of myself! We will be getting a stroller. I'm sure all 3 will be using it at some point!

We had a beautiful weekend! I took the kids to an Easter celebration at our church. The girls got their faces painted and Trev declined because he couldn't make up his mind to what he wanted

Later that night I took Trev to a flashlight egg hunt. We had a lot of fun! It sure is dark when they turn out the lights though!

Thanks to so many wonderful people we have most of our clothes now for our trip!! I still need to find bathing suits for the girls and swim shorts for Trev. And get some cute Disney pj's for them to wear while there.

The kids have been looking at the website to see what is at the parks. Trev is excited for Star Wars Weekend and meeting the characters. He has his autograph book ready and said "no princesses better sign it!!" Of course the girls want Star Wars characters AND princesses to sign it I've never done the signatures so I am pretty excited for that!

The kids are excited to go to Sea World. They have been watching a lot of You Tube videos of the Shamu show and are pretty excited to watch it live!

The girls want to visit EVERY princess... Luckily they only know a few of them so if we make sure to find those ones I think we will be okay They are excited to do pin trading to try and find an Arial pin.... Now to get on Ebay and buy some pins so we have more than one to trade

I bought some I tunes cards for the kids for Easter so they can purchase games while on the plane. The 6 hour plane ride kinda has us nervous!! We have told the kids how long it is but they don't really comprehend how long that REALLY is sitting for that long being quite! It shall be interesting!!

[Lilfoot93]

The next one comes from lovethattink and her son JJ. Thank you for blessing my kiddos! They LOVE everything and JJ did a wonderful job on the soaps! There were cute Star Wars soaps for the girls and chapstick. Yoda basket, Star Wars Legos, puzzle, hats and cards for Trev.

Thank you!!

Jackie

I received a wonderful Star Wars drawing in the mail yesterday! Thank you so much Trevor, Allie and Kara. It is now in my sewing room with the other thank you cards I've received from Big Give recipients.

I hope you have a great trip.

Glad that the stitches come out so soon. I'm sure that you will be happy to have that done and see that her chin healed nicely.

A stroller is great to have with kids your age. They can ride when they are very tired and they can walk when they are energetic. Plus it gives them a nice place to sit during the parades and stuff.

Love the picture of the girls with their faces painted and I'm sure that the egg hunt in the dark must have been very fun!

Have you checked your Target for swimsuits for the kids? I was in ours today and noticed that they had swim stuff in the kids department.

Don't worry about the plane ride. It will go more smoothly than you expect. The kids will see that everybody else is seated and quiet so they will know that is what they are supposed to do too. We flew with my girls for the first time when they were 2 and 3. They were very good even though my older daughter was a real fireball most of the time. It was really just a matter of setting expectations before we got on the plane.

 

[lovethattink]

Cute face paintings. Glad they had fun and how cool to do a flashlight egg hunt.

Uh...Trev, what about Princess Leia and Queen Amidala ??!!

The meal deal at Sea World is well worth it. We do that any time we are there for 2 meals. Theirs includes drinks too. At Universal drinks were extra with their meal plan. Turtle Trek is great, JJ loves the games afterwards. My oldest son has pacu. So we are amazed at how huge the pacu are at Turtle Trek.

Pin trading is fun. It's something we use to do as a family.

I'm sure the 6 hour plane ride will be ok. They'll be so excited going and so exhausted heading back home. I hope Kara's ears don't hurt. The one and only time my brother flew, he had a pierced ear drum. The doc gave him ear drops for pain. The flight attendant recommended holding cups to his ears that had a damp napkin in them. He looked silly, but it worked whether it was placebo effect or not?

The message on my phone was so cute on Monday.

Yay! Glad you received it! Trev had fun making all his thank you's

Stitches came out yesterday!! Yay!! Although they put steri strips on and said they should stay on a couple more days... Of course they had fallen off last night as she slept...

As for swim suits I went to Target and they didn't have what I was looking for in their size. It was mostly 2 pieces and I prefer the girls to wear a one piece or at least if it is 2 pieces for the top to be more like a shirt. I'll keep looking. I know I'll find them something. The ones they have now are from last year and they are a little snug on them But since bathing suits were not out when they started swim lessons we just went with the old ones.

Trev LOVED the flashlight egg hunt! We are going to recreate it at our house this weekend for the girls and their cousins. It would have been too overwhelming for the girls. I think this may become a new tradition!

I will look into the meal deal at Sea World. The girls don't eat too much so maybe I can get away with getting it for 3 and just sharing our food with the girls?

My first time flying I ruptured my eardrum and that is what makes me nervous with Kara. I had hot cups for my ears too after that first flight! I look kinda silly but I don't care! At least I have not ruptured them again. I had forgotten about that and I will remember that so I can do it with Kara.

How long of a day is Universal? We are going to go to the park that has Harry Potter and Super Heroes. I think Animal Kingdom we will probably be there all day. The kids LOVE going to the zoo and we can spend the whole time from opening to close there. So I am assuming Animal Kingdom will be the same with all the animals to see.

We got a call from our wish grantor yesterday to confirm the date for Trev's reveal party. A little over 2 months and we will be on Trev's wish trip! We are getting SO excited!! I am going to make a countdown chain for Trev for his reveal party. Now comes the hard part on who to invite. I know some family and friends are not very supportive about Trev and his wish trip but I am not sure if I should exclude them and make it worse or include them and have them be the ones to say no. I don't want any negativity at the party as it is all about Trev.

Sorry I'm behind on posting. I've been reading your posts, but haven't had time to comment. Hope to get caught up next week.

Hope your family has a wonderful Easter weekend.

 

[dianemom2]

Our kids were older when we took them to Univeral (about 8 and 9) and it was before the Harry Potter area opened. I'd say that if you got there when the park opened, you could easily be done by dinner time. My kids did love the Dr. Seuss area in IoA but I don't think you are going there???

Glad that Kara's stitches came out and her chin look good.

Did you look at the Disney Store on-line for swimsuits? My SIL told me that she just ordered some adorable one piece swim suits from there and they were on sale for 25% off.

JJ got his note from Trevor. Thanks. It's such a chore to get him writing. He does better on the phone.

The HP stuff is at IOA. We haven't done any of the HP stuff because JJ is afraid of the looks of it. All he goes on there is the Suess stuff, so we are finished in no time. On the other hand, he loves Universal and can spend hours just at the curious george area alone. He also loves Minion Mayhem but has to sit in the stationary seats.

I think we are headed over to City Walk for lunch. Do you want me to pick up any brochures or anything?
