I have Good Diva days filled with happy memories and some Bad Diva days that make me cry a bit. Today was a Good Diva day. I was remembering her hiding her face and believing no one could see her! So sweet!

I can't believe how excited we are!!!!!!!!!!! :jumping1: This is going to be our best trip ever!!!
 
:love1: Pack THE BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't you dare forget that sweet prince after all you have put him through (or in or not in:rotfl: )!

Thanks for the great laugh. And just between friends...do you actually expect us to believe that is your LAST list?!!!!! :lmao: ;)

I am HOPING we see at least another couple of them before the trip!

What a sweet picture of Diva. It brought a smile to my face to see that one.

PS YOU MISSED AN ITEM ON YOUR LIST: PACK AWESOME SECRET SHIRT!:thumbsup2

But Jay, you have not given your permission for The Beast to wear his leather outfit and he's throwing a hissy fit because he's totally demanding to wear it. **I think he thinks he's going to charm Belle at MK in that get up!!!!

Ahh, I got smart!!! I wore the awesome secret mess of a shirt when I was cooking chili and spaghetti sauce and whenever I cook anything with tomato sauce, it splashes!! I'm SAFE!! I can't wear it to Disney!! :lmao:

Ahhhh, lists ... I do love lists!!!!!!!!:teacher:
 

This is just so exciting. Will your family be coming with you? You're going to be so busy, but it sounds like so much fun -- even the training!! :dance3:
Just me, I've found out they're flying me in on the Thursday so PM me what you're up to on Friday 5th :rotfl2:

It called you? How funny :rotfl2:

Awww she looks so cute in the bag :goodvibes
 
It's getting closer!!! Don't forget your camera and a new memory card so you can take lots of pictures to share with us! ;) How about glow stick necklaces for night time shows?? :)

I'm so excited to meet you!!! :hug: And I'm so excited for you! This is just such an amazing opportunity!

The car also emails me!! It's just so weird. I get some sort of diagnostic report with tire pressure and milage and oil and all that stuff that I barely pay attention to anyway! :rotfl2:

Diva was such a cutie!! :cloud9:

Cameras ready! I took so many pictures last year, but I know I'll probably take even more this year! Especially since I know I'll be sharing with all of you!

We did buy glow sticks -- even extra's in case some little kids near us don't have any. It's good for everyone to join in the fun!!! :wizard:

And of course, don't forget that wonderful shirt you made, the BEAST, your dd (HA HA HA, as if she would let you leave without her), I think you may have forgotten your Christmas hats!! OH and that one shirt. You know, the one you are keeping a surprise. :rotfl: Is Safari Mickey coming back to the World with you? And if I didn't mention it already, how about that one specially made shirt? You know, the one with pretty tomato based polka dots on it?
 
How did I know that you guys would already have the glow sticks? :thumbsup2 You are sweet to have extra on hand for kids! :goodvibes
Hummm, yes, I have to agree about the tomato spotted shirt. It can't be THAT bad! Maybe just to wear under a new sweatshirt for those night shows??? ;)

:lmao: The Beast in all his leather glory is packed! And DD .... I try and run to get away from her nagging at me, but I never seem to get far! She's too fast for me! :rotfl2: Safari Mickey is staying home this year -- it was him or the Beast and the Beast won. The tomato polka dots are just adorable -- I had one right on my chest when I looked in the mirror! :rotfl:

I wouldn't want to get any spaghetti aura on the new sweatshirt! :laughing:

We are really getting things done with only 15 days left!!!! Dragging a shopping list out of Grandma has been a chore! I'm making her some meals and freezing them, but we all know she will need more than that! And since she is spending all her time trying to run from me and my nagging, getting her to sit down is impossible. :rotfl2: Packing for December is tough; the weather is unpredictible. I packed a pair of gloves and had to remind DD of how my hands froze a few days last year! Other days I got a sunburn. So I've got shorts and jeans and sweaters and sweatshirts. But what a great thing to overpack for!!! :dance3: :cheer2:
 
DD and I wanted to quench our Disney thrist tonight and started watching an old home video from 1992. We took DD there for her 5th birthday. Here are some videos I recorded from the television. The third one is a bit goofy at the beginning but then gets really good after about 20 seconds. They are also a little jerky. I wasn't the incredible videographer I am now!! :rotfl2:

I hope you enjoy them!







 
OMG those videos are awesome!!! I totally have a picture by that Mickey cutout in the third one (and I was trying to be cool standing like how he was)! LOL. Isn't it so fun watching old home videos? :goodvibes
 
Oh my goodness! You guys are too cute!! I love the video of Figment meeting Mickey! :lovestruc so sweet! I can only remember meeting some of the seven dwarves when I went as a child. And I was SURE that Cinderella was living in the castle and didn't understand why I couldn't go see her! :rotfl:
 
I LOVE the videos! Thanks so much for sharing!




BUT- I was kinda hoping you were finally going to reveal "the shirt". :confused3


:lovestruc
 
Love the videos Heidi and what a great idea videoing them off of the TV :thumbsup2
 
So me and your DD have been doing the double digit dance like crazy now!:banana: :banana: :banana:

I can't believe it's almost here! And those videos are so precious! :rotfl:

HOPE TO SEE YOU GUYS IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!! YEAAAAAHHHHHH PORT ORLEANSSSSSSS!!
 
I can't believe our trips are almost here!!!

I am so not ready! I'm having Thanksgiving dinner here for 13 people, so I need to get ready for that too. I've already decorated my house for Christmas so that's one less thing to do when I get home. Plus I've been trying to get all my Christmas shopping done online so all my gifts will be here and waiting for me to wrap.

And then there's my normal day of homeschooling three kids, laundry, cleaning, feeding the family......

But I will get it all done. I HAVE A LIST!! (several actually)

Hopefully we'll meet up at some point on this trip! Gotta go....DD16's algebra is calling....
