Aaahhh...RFC. I fondly remember my first (and only) time at RFC. I seem to remember a very yummy buffalo chicken salad....oh wait, nope. You wanted chicken on this? Ok here ya go.....oh you wanted buffalo sauce.....well ok. But it tasted good in the end, right?? And my drink was wicked good

Today is SINGLE DIGIT DAY! Yay....can't wait to see you guys! I need a break. I just hope my house and my family are still in one piece when I get back

I'm amazed at what you have been able to accomplish without the kids knowing a thing about it. You'll get it done and I am sure it will be brilliant and perfect!

Thank you!!! It hasn't been easy!!! i try to do what i can when they aren't around.. not easy either.. as they somehow know and will wake up needing something!

Rainforest Cafe is overpriced and the food bleh. We did the one downtown and the one in Vegas. We will never go again...not even at Disney.

Haven't taken the kids there for probably about 5 years... Now i know why.. I have this card from them too.. I would go back for the dessert!!!!

It truly was a beautiful day yesterday. I had peace and quiet and sat on my patio. Now I am sitting here IMPATIENTLY waiting for 10 days to hurry up.

it's that lovely? just love peace and quiet! well now you have 9!!! I am excited for you and your ever changing trip!!!

Ok. Your picture really made me miss Chicago. I mean, not the shooting part. But the rest of it.

I do love my city.. It's a great place to VISIT! not to live.

I love the passport idea from Terri too! I have been thinking of doing the same thing but I hadn't thought to actually make a passport for it. Now I NEED to.

really wish she would get on this passport thing.. I need a copy!

Lol! I'm gonna work on mine and I will share or those who want it or to tweek it for themselves!

Scary about the shooting!

Yes. Worse - it isn't shocking anymore.. That's a sign i have to move...

Rainforest Cafe is so overpriced it is ridiculous! My kids love it though... and so does my husband. We end up at the one in Woodfield Mall way to often!! Loved the pic of your kiddos at RC, so adorable!!

Ugh! crazy outrageous priced!!! But i would go back just for an app and the dessert!!!

I love your decal! Isn't that a great freebie!

I hope you can share the movie with everyone! I can't wait to see it.

Yes they are AWESOME FREEBIES!!! YES can't wait for it to arrive!

It sounds like you had a great (and crazy) weekend as usual!

thanks it wasn't so crazy. it was a good time!

RFC - I agree - totally insane! But it's fun eating there, and we always enjoy ourselves, even if we don't enjoy paying the bill. Sigh.

NO! Funny because the kids said the animations were very robot-y Nothing like Disney!!

It was a gorgeous day here too... I even laid out on the deck for a little while - trying to catch up on my Vitamin D. Glad I did, because it's POURING here today.

It was beautiful out! sorry for the rain. we haven't had any for about 3 days!

Oooh - I love the idea of a snack passport... I need to go over to Terri's ptr and see what that's all about. You know how I feel about food!

Yes.... Yes you do../

I am so anxious for you to do the reveal. So, how soon before you go are you planning to surprise them? I wish I had some great ideas for you... I am the worst surpriser-er ever!

I will surprise them the day we leave still.. Just a couple of hours earlier.
UGH I CANNOT WAIT TO TELL THEM!!!!

Love ya, mean it...

Ahem... 9 days!!!!!!

D~

Love ya too! 8 days!!!!!

Aaahhh...RFC. I fondly remember my first (and only) time at RFC. I seem to remember a very yummy buffalo chicken salad....oh wait, nope. You wanted chicken on this? Ok here ya go.....oh you wanted buffalo sauce.....well ok. But it tasted good in the end, right?? And my drink was wicked good

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh boy that was an experience wasn't it?
I had to find the post about it and post it below!

Today is SINGLE DIGIT DAY! Yay....can't wait to see you guys! I need a break. I just hope my house and my family are still in one piece when I get back

They will.. everything works out. did you get the lavender oil???

IF ANYONE WANTS TO READ THE EPIC DIS MEET RFC
YOU CAN DO IT HERE!

 

[Chicago Mo]

Yesterday went by SO FAST!
Why?
I worked diligently on the video! I was able to get all my work done early and swiftly
just so i could!!!

ya know what??? I have most of it completed!! the very last is what i am trying to complete...

After the last picture something pops up saying we interrupt this movie for a VERY important from someone special.

then there is mickey mouse. I need to add text saying something of the lines of:

Hiya pals! we are sending Tink over with some Pixi dust for your Birthday!
have the front door slam.
then the movie will say
PRESS PAUSE NOW.
then a couple more slides of SURPRISE YOUR GOING TO DISNEY!


can i need something more uppity. more Mickey talking need to go and listen to all my Disney music to see if grab a snipit of him talking?!?!

 

[annegirl]

I think that sounds SO cute! They are going to love it!

 

[lovedonaldduck]

You and D~ are so productive and accomplish so much you make me feel like a sloth! I still don't even have all of my Disney pictures from Spring Break off of my camera yet! I must stop slacking off.

 

[KatMark]

i know your busy!!! thanks for stopping in i miss you when your not here!!! I live by GO BIG OR GO HOME!

****************************************************************
So some of you have seen the video but figured to post it here too...

MY REVEAL VIDEO!!! ​

I had to make a dummy gmail and youtube.. My kids are on You tube ALL. THE. TIME.. so figured i better hide it somewhere! Still scares me a bit to have it out there in cyberland.

The video took me a while to do ONLY because any little tweak would wreak havoc on the music.. bad. real P.I.T.A. which is what took the longest is making sure all music start and end was right on.. as you can see.. it still isn't.. But hey it's a little home movie and doesn't need to be perfection right? that is what i am telling my OCD...
I had to use pictures i had on my photobucket account since i had lost ALL my pictures from the wicked external hard drive who crashed.
this was SO EASY to put together (exception of music moving all over the place) just pick your pictures add some animations or text then add the music on top of that.. BUT if you have any changes in the pictures/videos know the music is going to find another place somewhere in the movie and you have to go find it place it back to where you want it to be.

i don't know if i like the message from Mickey or not yet.. but i have 3 months (or 109 days) to figure it out...

Now i have the movie completed i have to go back and fix up the binders a little bit nothing huge, get them printed, and in the binders!!!
these two will be DONE!

After all this free fun for the kids i should probably start PAYING OFF THE TRIP at some point....

the kids all had a game yesterday Meg's team (Sugarbabies) won so did the boys (Marlins)!!!
the the storm came!! HOLY HAIL! it looked like it snowed again! i was worried about my car thankfully no damage.

i'm off to get some work done then see if i have time to get the binders completed!!!


ANY AND ALL COMMENTS ARE WELCOMED on the video. I've had some really nice feedback so far.

if there is anything to be changed please let me know!!!

 

[DMGeurts]

I watched it this morning and I loved it! I really love all of the music you chose. And I loved seeing the midgets when they were little... I know I've seen most of those pictures before - but it was SO FUN reliving it with you... And especially now that I've met them IRL, it was super fun for me to see them little. They are all the SAME, but bigger, and it's so CUTE! They are going to freak out!

D~

 

[MeeskaMomma]

Squee! That video was awesome! Especially the reveal at the end! I can't wait to see the reactions! Love the music and the Mickey message!

 

[lovedonaldduck]

AHH! The video is blocked at work. I'll have to watch it on my phone or when I get home tonight. Can't wait to see it! Congrats on getting it done and checked off your list!

oh no!! I hope you can see it. Yes this and the binder are almost done.


Totally forgot to buy the plastic sleeves for the binders!!! What a DORK!!! going to the store today

 

[nikki7680]

The video was AWESOME!! You did a great job! I actually got a little teary watching the reveal part because I can imagine the screams of excitement from your kids! I also liked seeing how little everyone was in the pictures. Seems like our trip was just yesterday. Noticed that the clothes my Joey is wearing are now being worn by my Matthew...ugh! They grow up so quick!

 

[lovedonaldduck]

Watched the video on my phone - LOVE IT! I would either like to be your kid or be there when your kids get to watch the video. It is awesome. I think I may play it again and again just so I can listen to the music while I'm working. Great job!

Does anyone know someone who makes Disney iPhone cases? I need a new one and I'm checking out Etsy but I'd love to give my business to someone we "know"

 

[oopsiDAISY]

O.M.GOODNESS!!!!! That video is so fantastic!!!!!! Once again, you get the award for Best Mom Evah!!! Seriously, just beautiful and magical and fun and nostalgic and wonderful....so fantastic! Great job, Mo!!!!

 

[annegirl]

The video is great! Our kids love watching old home videos and looking at pictures so I would imagine that they are going to love watching this video!

And the reveal was so fun!

 

[KatMark]

Mo, I've already told you, but I'll tell you again, I LOVE the reveal video.

 

[sweetpeaandevie]

I love the video!! I watched it while I was waiting for a call case which turned into the end of a 20 hour shift for me yesterday I swear, the call karma gods are out to get me for giving all of my call away for the last five years. Apparently I need to make up for it all in the month of May! everytime I work extra, I just chant.....Disney money! (It's getting real old, real quick though)

I am so far behind on everything here!!!! I try to pop in everyone's TR and PTRs when I get a quick break at work.....I have a HUGE list of Disney crafts to get to. I haven't posted ANYTHING about the girls' recital (except on fb) I am in awe of you working 100 jobs and still getting all of this stuff done! Thank you for sharing, at least I can see other people not procrastinating!!!

I love the idea of putting the binders in the truck, can't wait to see the finished product!

 

[Denovagirl]

Well you already know how much I love the video, but I'll say it again, I LOVE THE VIDEO!!! The music is great and I love Mickey at the end, I'd keep him!
