Dancing for any amount of days till a Disney trip is always in order

I have started listening to Disney music and Josh and I watched a Disney planning video, Beauty and the Beast and A Bug's Life in preparation for our trip this past week

I plan on starting a weekly theme movie and dinner starting on our one month

Great news about your mom! I will keep her in my prayers!

 

[snowwhitesmom]

Cheers for Mom doing well and cheers for one month and - oh hell - cheers in general!

 

[Disney Brat]

Hi Queen! Of course the good goosebumps!! LOL I am so glad to hear that your mom has been moved closer to you!! Prayers that things are continually getting better for her! The planning here is going good. We have a few ADR's, Ohana, Chef Mickey's and CRT. Plus as a surprise to Abby we booked the dessert party! Our ME stuff came last night!! So at least our bags will be there! We would love to get together if you guys can manage it.

 

[wdwgirl03]

Yay for one month!! It is also one month until my sister starts the college program!

 

[TinkerbellLuvr7]

Glad to hear everything is well with your mom! I can't believe you are a month away! I better get prepared WDW is waiting for you to return!!!!!

 

[MEK]

How wonderful that you are less than a month to D-day! I hope your mom continues to do well back at your neighboring hospital!!!!! So happy to hear she is back and recovering well.

 

[CanadianWDWfan]

Excellent news!

I'm checking in and I'm so thrilled to hear your DMom had surgury and is doing well.

Glad she had a surgeon from Ottawa, we have some of the best heart doctors here.
Speaking from experience with my Dad.
He had one of the best heart surgeons work his magic which gave him 15+ extra years of life.
I am very grateful to have been given those extra years.
He got to walk me down the isle and meet my first born.

I wish your DMom a comfortable recovery.

Purplepeg ...I believe you were meant to find that bag!
I would love to see a pic! Pretty please!

Congrats on the 1 month!

Enjoy the shopping day with Jasmine!

Hi to all of you

I have made time today to do a post with photos
I know...can you speak
I just got back from WalMart and the family was out Geocaching so I had the place to myself...now they're back.

I think Queen mentioned we are going to a Disney wedding so here is my dress for the wedding, I also bought a black skirt I thought I should share.

This is Mini Montana's (6) pile from yesterday. Two bathing suits, two dresses, two shorts and one top. The one top and one pair of shorts she will model because she just had to wear them!

I know she's too young to have something across the butt...whatever!

This is Snow White's (11) pile. She needed more because she doesn't have a big sister that gives her all her clothes! Two dresses, 4 shorts, and two tanks. She will also be modelling one pair of shorts. The top is from a previous trip to Rock-N-Roller Coaster.

And here is the piece de resistance (? SP) the Lug Bag. Let's have a moment shall we?
Front, notice the red heart tag? Hard to miss!

Back

Inside

Enjoy your day!

 

[pkondz]

Mini Montana & Snow White look very happy with their new duds, and cute as always. 'Surf' on the butt is okay, 'Sure' not so much. And no, did not notice the ginormous bright red heart tag. Too understated I guess.

Ladies, congratulations on your mom's wonderful news and on under 30 days!

Purplepeg- thanks for the pics- it looks like you had a great time shopping for the trip!

 

[KatMark]

Purplepeg, great pictures of your purchases. And the models look great.

 

[MaryAz]

Hurray for the great news for your Mom!! Answered prayers. Very cute girls-they are so big now. I also like the purplepeg purple bag!!

 

[dawnbu40]

Vacation shopping is always fun! The girls look so cute in their new clothes

 

[TanzUnited99]

Love all the purchases Purplepeg and agree that the girls did a great job in modelling their clothes

Obviously the piece de resistance is awesome!! I'm soo glad you decided to buy that bag - it is perfect

 

[Queenofallthings]

for one month! I think with all you have been through lately that you are entitled to dance a little early.

So the coffee mugs at AKL are small; perhaps I should buy one when I get there too.

Glad to hear mom has been transferred back closer to you--that is great news! Continued good wishes that she continues to improve each day.

I think you're right...I just felt the need to dance and be happy!

I think you should definitely buy one...we can't start our day off right if we don't have enough coffee

It literally takes me 3 minutes to drive to the hospital! I keep telling my dad and my sister that I can be the one to just go up in the evening and pop in whenever...they don't always listen to me though

So glad that everything went good with your mom! My grandpa's had 4 heart attacks and heart surgery, so I know exactly what you were feeling! I was a mess during all four of his heart attacks and surgery. At least you know she is doing much better! My summer has been non eventful! I am still making myself sick over this college decision and money problems I haven't been able to find a job so it makes everything all that much worse....On an up note me and my mom are headed to Ikea this weekend to do some dorm shopping! WOO HOO ONE MONTH DANCE!!!!!

Sounds like you know exactly what we're going thru! So sorry that money problems and college decisions are stressing you out...remember, everything happens for a reason!

They are starting to build an Ikea here in September and I can't wait. It's about half way between my place and my sisters....I might just have to stop in whenever I'm on my way to their place

I just had to get on here and thank each and everyone of you who prayed and sent good thoughts/vibes for our mom. As Queen said she wouldn't be doing as well if it weren't for all of you. I truly believe that.
I feel like we have all been through the ringer. It has been 2 weeks today that our lives were turned upside down.
I see Queen mentioned my new Lug bag. My parents had given me money for my birthday that I hadn't spent yet so thought it was a lovely gift they gave me! What Queen left out was that Jasmine and Queen badgered me into buying it, Jasmine even went so far as to tell me she had an orange one and I wasn't part of their Lug Club! Then she tells me after I bought it that she was lying just to make me feel bad...she gets that from her mother you know

Thank you all again very much.

They are the best aren't they Peg

Yup Jasmine lied to Peg....when she said Lug Club I had to walk away because I knew I was gonna burst out laughing! It's a beauty though!!!

 

[Queenofallthings]

First off yay on it being less then one month before you are at Disney World and enjoying your first meal at Raglan Road!!



I hope you manage to find a nice mug to use during your holiday and I also can't wait to visit Goofy's Candy Co!

I'm very happy to hear that your mum is now nearby so you can visit more often. I also want to thank you for all your help and advice this past week

PurplePeg - our prayers are always with all of you and am glad that Jasmine and Queen talked you into getting the new Lug bag! Can't wait to see pics of it.

Can you believe it?

The little things in life....like a coffee mug that's perfect...just make me happy!

I'm glad we talked her into it too! It just seemed so appropriate that she should have it!

for one month!!

How wonderful that your mom is continuing to improve and that she's been moved closer to you! You'll all continue to be in our prayers as she recovers!

still can't believe we leave in less than a month!

Having her close is the best thing. If I want to run up before dinner I can or I can stop in while on my walk....it's absolutely perfect! Thanks for continuing to think of us!

Dancing for any amount of days till a Disney trip is always in order

Hi DollI love your attitude so I'm gonna dance again

I watched a Planning Video the other night there...it's the one that has Dave, Erin, Stacey and Luke...not sure if you have it but it's my favorite!! Even though it's got to be 4 or 5 years old now, they make it fun!

My nieces finished their countdown calendar yesterday but I really think we need to do one too....for Jeff! I'll have to get my daughter on that!

Thanks again hon for keeping all of us in your prayers and I can't wait to see you guys next month

 

[pooksma]

Great shopping pics Peg! I guess great minds were thinking alike yesterday

LOVE the dress. I can't believe how the girls have grown.

 

[Queenofallthings]

Cheers for Mom doing well and cheers for one month and - oh hell - cheers in general!

Thanks my friend My sis and her family dropped in last night after they were at the movies and we all sat around with the brochures...it was great so I wanted to thank you again! The girls thought it was funny/weird how toontown's not on the map anymore....so glad they got to experience it before it was gone!

Hi Queen! Of course the good goosebumps!! LOL I am so glad to hear that your mom has been moved closer to you!! Prayers that things are continually getting better for her! The planning here is going good. We have a few ADR's, Ohana, Chef Mickey's and CRT. Plus as a surprise to Abby we booked the dessert party! Our ME stuff came last night!! So at least our bags will be there! We would love to get together if you guys can manage it.

Hi Tiff....can I just say I was just thinking about your brunch pics from yesterday and thinking how good everything looked Glad to hear you got some good ADR's...I love that you got the dessert party....Abby is gonna love that!

Isn't that the best when the little envelope arrives...I just sit and stare at it with a big grin on my face! Once Jas has her schedule for the next few weeks I'll let you know and maybe we can meet for breakfast again! I know she would be very sad not to see you guys and I'll work it out with Peg too!! I think we all need to have a looksy at our plans before we get down there!!

Yay for one month!! It is also one month until my sister starts the college program!

Woo Hoo for everyone...now having said that...does that mean you're going to be down there and if so let me know!! Maybe we could get together!

Glad to hear everything is well with your mom! I can't believe you are a month away! I better get prepared WDW is waiting for you to return!!!!!

I can't tell you how excited we are....I am really hoping you are able to meet up with us on one of the weekend days! I will send you Jasmine's cell number so if it's a possibility you can text her and we can keep in contact that way

How wonderful that you are less than a month to D-day! I hope your mom continues to do well back at your neighboring hospital!!!!! So happy to hear she is back and recovering well.

When I went up to see her last night, one of our favorite nurses was working (not looking after mom, but a couple of beds away) and when she saw me she came running over to say how happy they were that we were all back! She said "your mom has kept her celebrity status" and I gave her that look and she said "we just call her J Bo.. I burst out laughing...they are awesome!

I hope Max is continuing to recover too

Excellent news!

Enjoy the shopping day with Jasmine!

The miracles of modern medicine! How wonderful for you! Our dad had a heart attack in 1996 and fortunately he didn't require surgery but was told to slow down with work and to exercise (this amazing man went on to get his Black Belt in Taekwondo when he was 69) and we are blessed too! When you said about meeting his first born, I can't imagine Jasmine not having had him in her life as she was growing up! She has many a fond memory...she told him the other day there that she remembered acting up in The Brick when she was probably 4 and he took her out to the van and told her he was very disappointed in her...she said "that almost killed me grandpa and I knew I would never misbehave again" ... and she didn't!

I know that planning video! I just ordered a new copy off of Ebay because we lost ours.
Paid a stupid amount for it because it was originally free but it's our favorite too!
We saw "Dave" in a comercial the other night and both me and DD11 started cracking up.
Which then started the search for the DVD and then the purchase on Ebay.
Everytime we see a bench in WDW....Lexi says "let's take a break" just like Dave suggested a million times.

purplepeg for puttting up the pics!

Love the new clothes for your girls and I like the dress for the wedding too!
Before i met you ladies I had never heard of LUG bags before. (where have I been )
The purple bag is perfect and I even like the heart....kindove symbolic don't you think.

 

[Queenofallthings]

Happy Sunday everyone! I am going to let Peg comment on all your posts about her shopping posts...I got a personal fashion show when they stopped in for a visit after the movie! Even I can't believe how much the girl's have grown and I see them all the time, but there's something about seeing it in pictures that makes it all too real

We decided last night when they were over that we were going to turn one of our DTD/Pool days into a water park day...not sure yet which one though. We've been to both but Peg and family have only been to BB and that was in 2009 on our arrival day so they were only there a few hours before they headed back to SSR to meet Jas and I! Jasmine would prefer to do TL because she loves Crush N Gusher but I think we'll end up looking at what's at each park and taking a vote...we try and keep things very fair! Here are a few pics from 2007 when we were there with my BFF and her family!

We also went through the park maps and decided what our must do's would be for each day at each park! Too bad Jasmine and Jeff weren't home to do this with us. Jeff's brother's girlfriend was celebrating her Debut (Filipino coming of age party for a girl) last night so the kids were there which brings me to our shopping day!

Jasmine and I were out the door by 8am because I had an oil change appt at 830 then it was off to the mall! We decided to go to the one about a half an hour from our place just for something different! Jasmine needed some MAC products that she was out of so we stopped there first. I have to say the young lady that helped us had amazing customer service skills! She ended up doing both of our make up for free "just because she had the time because it wasn' busy". We did end up leaving a bit of money there though

Then we were on a mission to find a dress and shoes for the party that evening. Jasmine had her outfit all picked when when Jeff realized he forgot to tell her it was a black and white theme and of course she didn't have a black dress She did manage to find the cutest dress for $22...gotta love end of season sales and shoes for $20 She also bought a belt and 2 tops for the trip! I tried desperately to find a new pair of white or khaki capris, but no luck! I think I might stop at a couple of store today after I drop Jasmine off at work!

She decided she's going to take her new dress and shoes for the wedding when we're in the World!! I went to take a picture before she left and my camera battery was dead

I have to finalize our last few days today, get my index cards finished and get the suitcases out...it is four weeks today until we leave after all I have some of our toiletries already in ziploc bags just waiting for a suitcase
