I love those buttons!!!! So cute and I love the Snow White necklace. Good job Momma!!!!

Your shoes look so comfy - I agree with the comfort factor over being 'stylish'

So I need some suggestions for customs - we are going to 1900 Park Fare for dinner one night and I don't have a clue for customs. Help????

 

[STLMickeyMom]

Everything about this update is exciting! I like your shoes! They look comfy. The buttons are too cute! I agree it is fun to be able to have the characters and CMs call the kids by name.

 

[annegirl]

The pins are great. The set was only $2?? wow!
I can't wait to see your window all set up. It looks like it is going to be so cute!
That Snow White necklace is adorable!
Do the shoes feel good?

 

[JoeyEmmaMomma]

Buttons are adorable! You are getting so close!! Woop!

 

[MidnightParade]

Buahahah! I have been wondering when is an acceptable time to pull out the luggage! The only problem is that the cats will be in them within a minute, probably less of laying them out(As evidenced by Andy pulling the carry on out for a conference and I think less then 15 seconds and Cat No2 was in it!) I think as soon as September happens I will drag them out though, I want to start packing!!!

I love the pin idea with their names making it easier for the characters to greet the girls! Thats pretty exciting for them!

lol, just think while you are wearing your tevas that somewhere in the parks is me in my big ole ugly crocs! But both our feet will be thanking us!

Yay pennies! I actually shined mine up this weekend, totally forgot to take pictures though. I used 1/4 cup vinegar and a 1 tsp of salt. Doesn't clear the gunk off but made some of them very shiny! BUT! I thought I would boiled them after to try and get the gunky ones clean and they lost some of the luster so I'm going to shine them back up as soon as I get more vinegar! lol!
Look forwarding to seeing how yours turn out!

OMG you're so close!!! I love love looove those buttons. such a good idea!

Thanks! EEP! It is getting close! I expect time to slow to an almost unbearable pace at any day now, lol..

I love those buttons!!!! So cute and I love the Snow White necklace. Good job Momma!!!!

Thank you!!! The lady that makes those is working on some A&E ones for us too, I couldn't resist...

OMG! I have heard the interactions with the Tremaines are really memorable there so I would def do something dealing with them! Off the top of my head I am thinking it would be totally fun to do a shirt featuring Lady Tremaines awful cat! I bet she would LOVE that!

Thanks! I am running out of things to do though!!! I need to wait until payday to get the girls shoes, then at least I will have another project to keep my occupied!

The pins are great. The set was only $2?? wow!
I can't wait to see your window all set up. It looks like it is going to be so cute! That Snow White necklace is adorable! Do the shoes feel good?

Yea, the 4 pack of the smaller buttons was $1.99, and the big buttons were a 3-pack for $1.99 also, and then of course you can always use the 40% off coupon on your phone!

So far, shoes feel great. I can tell where my arch was feeling a little bit sore, but that is expected until my feet get used to it, it's what I need for sure, but takes a couple weeks to get there, so I wore them all over the house today!

Buttons are adorable! You are getting so close!! Woop!

YAY! Thanks!

Hahaha, yep, packing, when is it acceptable!?!? LOL!!! Although, I don't want our stuff to get wrinkled so I will literally do that probably within the week before we go. I am a big advocate of not ironing, or doing more clothes work than necessary, lol, so I have to keep things as de-wrinkled as possible or the hubs will be ironing all vacation long!

OH! That does make me feel better with the crocs, I am not alone in the comfortable, yet kinda dorky, shoe department!

Ahh! I read up on the penny gunk! I saw someone posted that after you do the vinegar/salt bath to rub a pencil eraser over them and that de-gunks them! We plan to try tomorrow!! I will post how that goes, of course!

 

[ZehnJahren]

I like your buttons!

How cool that there was $16 in the piggybank and you needed $15.50! I like the penny lesson. It's true, she'll see old honest Abe at WDW along with other presidents too!

You got the shoes! I like your color a LOT better than mine (mine are like a papery gray color, but I got them on sale so I'll deal). I just ordered some Keens today; should get them on my birthday (Wednesday)! Gotta love Amazon Prime! They're supposed to be great shoes as well.

Aw, the Snow White necklace is precious.

Thank you! And yeah, that worked out slick on the piggy bank! It was just enough!

I liked the gray Tevas too, and the brownish ones, but I figured black will match most my stuff, so I am starting with these. I have heard wonderful things about the keens too! Oh! Our bdays are close! Mine is actually the 26th, but celebrating this Friday!

 

[hokieinpa]

The buttons!! Those will just put your girls at the top of the best dressed/accessorized at Disney, ever! So cute!

I'm still deciding on shoes - I have a pair of winter-ish Go Walks that I love so I may try to find a summery version to wear with shorts.

Getting so close!!

 

[Jackiemarie21]

Wow! This trip is really coming quickly! Although, I am sure you guys are so excited, time is crawling by,

I love the penny lesson! And how fun that in the end they will be Disney souvenirs!

I think the buttons are a great idea!

Sending your way that the next 39 days flies by!

 

[DMGeurts]

Excellent idea with the buttons... It's too bad that most of our August group is already down there - or I'd tell them that we should do this too!

Love your penny pressing art projects and learning about the penny. Pretty cool!

Glad you got your shoes... I had a moment of a heart attack this morning - I had a dream that I forgot my Donald shoes at home! The first thing I did when I got up at ~ahem~ 3:30 this morning, was double check my luggage that they were in there. Phew!

I hope you have a great day!

D~

 

[Chicago Mo]

HOW CUTE!!!!

The buttons came out really adorable! just LOVE THEM! I might have to take a ride to Michaels today... MIGHT if i have a chance.

the ones for the girls are of course perfect!!! HAPPY ALMOST BIRTHDAY!! Gift cards!

The penny thing is cool.. Great idea! I didn't know you home schooled. that takes talent.. a lot of patience. i don't have.

CRAP-OLA! Totally forgot about pressed pennies...

 

[missangelalexis]

The buttons are so adorable!

Glad your shoes arrived, comfort is definitely key at Disney!

Such a cute necklace for Maddie

SO close!

 

[MissMaryQC]

So I totally just spent the better part of last night and this morning reading through your PTR; what a fun time!!

I LOVE how crafty you are; the shirts, buttons, costumes and don't even get me started on the shoes!! I've only just begun to delve into the DIY world and you, mi lady, are an inspiration !! I hope I'm able to do even a fraction of this stuff for our little daughter.

Speaking of daughters; your girls are just too cute!! And boy did you get lucky with a DH who is so into Disney; my DBF would probably rather eat dirt than wear a matching Mickey shirt with me!

Needles to say I'm following along ; better late than never! I can't wait to see the rest of your count down, not to mention your TR when you guys get home!! I'm so excited for you!!

 

[Dugette]

Wow, how did I get so far behind that I just now saw your post with all the outfits?! Fantastic job! Everything looks great! Not to mention the buttons and all the other projects you are doing! I have to say, I'm really excited for your next Trip Report too!

 

[scholastica]

The outfits are awesome! Not too much longer, though it feels like it takes forever!!

Haha, well it helps that both my girls are really into dressing up and accessorizing, some kids won't even keep this stuff on, but mine totally will!

The Go Walks are awesome and comfy, I bought some that are similar but are Reebok, I believe, and I think thats what I am going to bring as my back up shoe. I like the ones where you don't have to wear socks a lot.

Yea, the group button was not my idea, but I think it's pretty cute to identify us, although theres only like 600-700 in our group, so the chances of many of us crossing paths is pretty slim.

Oh no! Don't forget the Donald shoes! You NEED all your Donald pieces! LoL... I do that all the time when it comes time to pack, and usually the item is already packed, lol...

HOW CUTE!!!!

The buttons were fast and easy, and with all the stuff you do on the computer it wouldnt take you long!

Thanks for the almost-bday wishes!!

YES! You can't forget about pressed pennies!! FYI- It's about $14.50 in quarters and 29 cents to fill the larger M&M tube!

The buttons are so adorable!

Thank you! And yes, it's all about the comfort this time!

Wow, how did I get so far behind that I just now saw your post with all the outfits?! Fantastic job! Everything looks great! Not to mention the buttons and all the other projects you are doing! I have to say, I'm really excited for your next Trip Report too!

It happens! Thank you, it really is hard to believe that it is almost that time already and all the projects are wrapping up!

The outfits are awesome! Not too much longer, though it feels like it takes forever!!

Ain't that the truth!

 

[spiritsim]

well Raina is doing our buttons, so I don't have to. We have 35 days to Disney or 30 days to Raina's.....can't wait to see those grandbabies!!

And to meet you all of course.
