Hey Mo! How's it been going?

I have been absent from the DIS for about 5 months...but I am BACK!!!

I just spent the last hour or 13 catching up on your PTR. I read (skimmed) all of your trip related posts. OMG...you have TOTALLY outdone yourself! The midgets are going to be so excited! I can't wait to read all about the big reveal!

LOVE your reveal video, your binder pages for the kids, the big box with balloons. You have thought of everything.

I can't believe your trip is so close. Can't wait to read all about it.

I'm so glad to be back on the DIS!

 

[MidnightParade]

Yay pins!! I love pins! They are so much fun! Gah! Now I want to order another grab bag thanks!!!

I love the Lock Candy Corn pin!! Very awesome!!

 

[PrincessMickey]

I haven't posted yet on here but have been following along. Loving all your plans, you're getting so close and can't wait to see the kid's reaction! Way to go Matt on losing the weight. I have a 9 and 10 year old in football too. Our weigh ins are on Friday, for us if they are over weight they have to wear a sticker on their helmet and they can only play certain positions. I'm not worried about the 10 year old but my 9 year old was patched last year. He's right on the border this year, the limit is 85, a few weeks ago he weighed in at 79 so I think he should be good this year. Can't wait to see how Matt does and hear your football stories.

 

[spiritsim]

So close now and D~ is there, you guys behind her and then we are up, yah!!

 

[pigletgirl]

WTG Matt!! That is awesome!

FYI, your ticker likes to say 27 days, and its so not that! I like to look at yours because we're right behind you all. Two weeks from now the kiddos will get to see the amazing work you've put into the video. I can't wait to hear how the surprise goes!

It's almost time!

 

[Chicago Mo]

Yes i wasn't really into it. I bought a few for their first trip and they really got a kick out of it. It's a big deal to them! What's fun is there are pins in there for certain places like Epcot and a few ride specific!!!!
Boy today is a raining crappy day eh? perfect for looking at lists!

Fun!! Love all the pins! They're gonna have so much fun trading! Love the containers too!

Thanks! i was so happy to find them! i was getting worried!

SO MANY PINS! & I love the tins you found!

Thanks! Yes this is a lot more then normal. But since i cannot grab the ones they already have (in fear of them noticing) i bought a slew of new ones. I kinda wish they had Mickey.

Way to go Matt!!

Ohhh! I love the tins!! Also, the pins are ADORABLE!!

Yes totally proud of him!!! thank you! the tins are really cute.

Way to go Matt! Good job!

It is a lot of pins. going through them they will keep several. Like duffy- HM ones- also trade with themselves ya know keep them BUSY in the car ride!!! It is a lot of fun for them! I love the fact they have to go up to the CM's kinda getting into the Disney spirit and NOT BE SHY!

great job Matt!!!!! Love the tins! great idea.......we will be sorting pins in the van on the way

Thank you i am proud of him! That's why i am hoping for too. it took me forever to sort out the pins to which kid. it will keep them busy in the car!!!

THANK YOU!!!!

 

[disneychic2]

Oh yeah, Matt's the man! Way to go!

I am almost more excited about your reveal than I am my own trip! Your munchkins are going to totally FLIP OUT!!! And all the little lies (I call them fibs) will be worth it. They will be more than happy to give up their planned dinners for what they get instead. Who wouldn't love a dessert party for their birthday?? Oh my, it will be soooo awesome!!

Your plans look perfect! You have everything planned so well. I'm sure it will all go off without a hitch. And staying strong will be so worth it. Just get through it one day at a time. You'll make it! I know you'll have streams of tears because you love them so much. Happy Happy time!

I'm so glad you found someone to help you with your magic bands. Can't wait to see what they look like!

I'm picking my sister up at the airport in a couple of hours and we're taking our parents to lunch. They don't know she's coming home, so it should be a fun surprise for them. I hope you have a great day today.

WOOOOOOOOOO WEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yesterday i was able to get all 93847602867602650284 pins out of those little &$@* baggies laid out to be sorted into three piles. WHILE i am doing this my co worker came down to look at the MB's. see what he can do with them...
Which wasn't much... He is an AMAZING artist. when it's on paper OR canvas. he can't do roundy plastic. I will say when they came in i was shocked to see how skinny they were. all the pictures i've seen - thought they were much much wider.
Once i had all the pins out sorted and into the little tin boxes We noticed HOW SIMPLE doing the tattoos are!!! again because of them being SO thin we had to cut them down no big deal. made them kind of more special!

Before practice all the kids did their A.L.S. Ice bucket challenge and picked whoever they wanted for the challenge!! I AM SO PROUD OF THEM!!! Then went into their saving banks and pulled out 10.00 to donate along with the bucket!!! Isn't that awesome.. I just love my kids soo much really are good hearted fantastic little beasts!
I do have videos of them i'll see if i can post those.

ALL kids had practice yesterday so i was able to stay behind!!! Can you believe that??? as soon as the car drove away i gave ample time to ensure they would NOT come back for a forgotten water bottle/pad/whatever. Scurried up the stairs and dumped the Disney box out! started packing!!!! I was even able to get a couple of outfits packed away! made new lists updated old lists! YAY LISTS!

​

I hope to have the rest of the MB's completed today.

today is such a yuck day. raining thunder and well... YUCK! I must have a Disney filled day right???

2 weeks... can you believe that??? 2 WEEKS!!! the dreams started. either nightmares or the good stuff. Right now i have a mixture of both. i know the first week of Sept will be the anxiety dreams... hate that...

they are coming for me....

Today is Thursday! THROW BACK THURSDAY Disney style!!!









Hope you all have a GREAT CHEERFUL DAY!!!!

[spiritsim]

well I don't think a nap was supposed to be on your packing list.....

Raina bought a bunch of pins for the girls so we shall see if they like pin trading!

I made some princess ribbon bows and Raina just asked for Rapunzel so I guess I will make 2 more, hopefully I don't burn my fingers this time, as I packed my lavender oil.

Got Frank packed yesterday and condensed some stuff so I have 2 less bags now.....whew 5 weeks can't wait I told Raina 5 weeks and I think she went into panic mode.......
