You are Super Mom, you can get it all done! Too funny about your quick water delivery. Ours was delivered SUPER FAST too! Have a great weekend!

I have a question about your VB duffel bag.....I'm thining about getting one for our trip in August! DH did get me the backpack, wallet and bag for mother's day and I got the organizer thanks to Jen (Megsmom!) but I was thinking about getting the duffel bag (large) and large tote too, to use as a bag for one night's clothing for all of us to bring into the hotel on the drive down. Does it hold a lot? I know they give the measurements on the site (and no vb retailer near me) but I"m so bad at visualizing that stuff.

Getting excited for you...... Once you get the wallpaper done, you will feel so much better too! Then it will be full steam ahead to disney!

I can hardly believe it is here... crunch time, both at home and at school.

Today we got the room primed and one coat of the top half blue on. The goal is coat #2 of blue tomorrow, and the white at the bottom, at least one coat.

I so love my Vera Duffle. I actually gave one to my bridesmaids for our wedding. I now have two and can easily pack for a weekend get away. I love the large tote too, I have used one for school before or for a day trip with the girls.

Yea for two weeks!!!! us too...

I feel your pain about taking wall paper off, what a nightmare!! We moved into a new(not so new) house last summer and the WHOLE house was wallpapered!! We still have only removed part of it, b/c it is SUCH a nightmare.. it took me a week to remove our masterbath and I picked it apart inch by inch... But sounds like you all are making some great progress

Enjoy your holiday and 2 week countdown!!

The room is almost done.... just the red stripes are left to do.. hopefully tomorrow.

As for WDW- I found my little TGM cheat sheet book from last trip, and plan to update and work on it this week. I also want to begin to pack and organize the girl's outfits.

I finally downloaded all my pics onto CDs... so I can clear out my memory cards.

Also- Emily I believe is 35 inches- which means she can ride Goofy's Barnstormer! I am so jealous.. her first roller coaster without me! I have never rode that ride!

Packing.... a little tricky when the princess does not know that you are going. So we had a little "fashion show" to try on our swim suits for the season. We then picked out our favorite 3--- and mom moved them quickly to the closet for packing. I think this week I am moving from the babies room to the basement for packing central. I doubt I get much packed for good until next weekend. It is hard to make things disappear when they don't know why.

Once again at our cookout last night my brother in law and sister in law were asking about the trip... Em piped in again saying yep we are going to WDW soon. Hannah was outside, but they thought it was a riot that she knows.

I wondered how you were going to do the packing since Hannah doesn't know. The basement sounds like a good spot.

I love that Em keeps piping up saying that you are going to WDW. What a cutie!

 

[dddisrunner]

OOOOH you are doing so good with the surprise!!!! I hope you can make it to the reveal! Yay for Emily riding the Barnstormer! Too funny about her spilling the beans again!

 

[DisDancerina]

You should have a Disney Fashion Show. Or tell them that you're fixing the clothes that you took for WDW.

You are so lucky that you can actually keep a secret; I sure can't!

I just have two boxes upstairs to lug down to the basement...our storage room Hannah never enters so I will have plenty of operation surprise space!

I am so excited to see her little face that morning. Hannah is not a morning girl by any means... so that will be priceless to see how quick she will move to get on the way to WDW!

I hate surprises and secrets.... so it is a miracle I made it! I would cave, but DH says no!

Haha, Em is a little cutie, but she sounds like me! (I can't keep my mouth closed either.)

I hate planning surprises and keeping secrets, too. Why can't we all just get it out in the air? (Or surprise us instead! )

One last coat of paint today and then the tape can come off the walls and we can get that room more organized... I know we have plenty of time, but right now it is just a dumping ground.

She is so funny.... she just thinks that everything is her business.


10 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Now I just have to get things wrapped up at school. I must admit, last summer when we went at the end of the summer before I returned to work it was easier, because I could get the school stuff done on my schedule. I have not figured out how to end this school year earlier... I guess it is out of my control

Tonight hopefully the packing stuff can move down to packing headquarters. I have to get some bathing suits on Emily to see if they work today or tomorrow.

 

[Charleston Princess]

Hurray for 10 days! Tomorrow will be the start of your single digit dance!!!

 

[moparop]

Woo hoo!! 10 days left! I cannot believe how close it is already! That's so cute that Em spilled the beans again... good thing Hannah doesn't take her seriously Are we going to get to see pics of the finished nursery?

I hope the end of the year stuff goes quickly and easily!

Wow! Only 10 days? That's so exciting!

School stuff= blah.

 

[MegansMom]

Can you believe it kiddo?!?!?!? ONLY 10 MORE DAYS!!! I think it is too funny how Em has remembered so well, and keeps "spilling the beans!" Are you going to try to take a picture of Hannah's face when you surprise her that morning? If you do, PLEASE post it on your TR!! So excited for you to have that moment with her!

The room is done... I washed the windows and doors down (wallpaper goop and junk on them), washed away the chalk lines, and vacumed and got the painting junk out. Now all that needs done is the chair rail fresh coat of paint and the dresser(my mom is doing this) and knobs (friend is making the new design). Those steps might not get done until WDW time... no hurries. I will snap a picture once the bed is in there later this week.
