Congrats on the 50 days, that means I should hit 50 days soon too!! YAAAAAY!!!

We'll dance for you too!

 

[bouncycat]

Sunday.....I'll hit 50!! Just figured it out! But, of course, nothing else to do at work here!! I can't wait!! I mostly can't wait to be able to say "we're going NEXT MONTH" That'll be nice. I was talking to my son about this trip this morning, told him he'd get a cupcake with breakfast, and he got all big eyed and excited, cause he usually can't have sweets for breakfast like that. He also had to make sure they had pancakes....so, I'm finding I can talk to TYLER about it....but not DH! I'm glad I got ya'll too, I'd REALLY be outta my mind then! LOL

So, with 50 days coming up, what else is there to plan?????????

No prob. I totally missed the Ding. Can you help me out? What's the offer? I would love to save some money on flights

Figures the Ding ended at 7 PM central time. SOrry if I had known that you don't check 10 times day like me I would have PMed you immediately. Next time I will just in case. It was $71 plus fees for the flight out. We didn't have any luck getting a discount on return flights though, still $114 each.

Was the package okay?

We just took out the dress. She tried it in and it fit great! She looked so cute! I will take a pic later. Thanks again so much! It was also very sweet of you to get her a bday present.

Did Avery like it? I can't wait to see a pic. Did it look okay to you? I looked it over and didn't see anything but I didn't spend a whole lot of time. I'm super paranoid I missed something and you are just being nice. I hope it is something she can get some use out of and enjoy. Lindsey's been bugging me since we went to the post office. She's excited to see if Avery liked it. Feel free to alter do whatever it takes to make Avery comfortable. Not looking to receive it back. Josie will be 16 before she will fit into it. She's almost four and still in a 2T.

Got my fingers crossed that Avery likes her b-day present and that both girls like their mini-Ariel's.

We can't wait to meet our new friends from AZ!

Well there is a lot for me to do. I have a lot of packing and spring shopping to do for the girls. I'm still trying to drop some pounds before the trip so I won't shop for me until the last second. I'm glad that Tyler will listen...you always have us if you need us though

Well that's a bummer! I went ahead and booked this morning. It was $92 each way. Is there anyway to call and get a discount if one comes through? I'm officially flying out on the 8:35am flight and leaving the 23rd on the 7:00 pm flight. It feel's so real now!!! HOOOOORRAAAYYY!!!

She loves it. Did not want ot take it off. Had to show her cousin right when she arrived. It looks fantastic,really. I did not see anything "off" with it. Love it! I will take a pic this aft and post it this evening.

Avery says to Lindsey "thank you so much for the Ariel wedding dress-I like it because it has on Ariel on it, it was very nice of you to send it to me. I am excited to trade pins with you "

Oh my, she is a petite little thing. Cayley is a 2T-they fit much better now with no diaper.

I just gave them the little Ariel's-big hit. They are so cute!!

We are also very excited to meet you guys!!!

I was down a pound but ate not so good things last night. This weekend promises to be more of the same. Monday I kick it into high gear!
Congrats on the airline tickets!!!

Yay for losing a pound!

I have done better the last week and half but the week and half that a new house was being considered kicked my butt and I mean KICKED MY BUTT. I hope to lose 10 pounds. I would be happy with 10 right now.

I'm so happy that Avery liked the dress! I will let Lindsey see your post with her comments when I get home tonight. She will be so excited. She has a friend staying over tonight so it should be a pretty quiet night. This particular friend is an angel and they all play so well together. The last time she stayed I only heard from them when they were hungry or thirsty. Maybe I can get some pics taken and posted.

for airfare. Now we will be on the same flight! I paid about the same as you since our flight back was higher than most other days. If your flight get cheaper online or with a Ding then you can call and rebook and they will give you a credit that is good for a year. It would be nice if they put it back on your credit card though .

 

[bouncycat]

OMG, ya'll are on the same flight?? HOW COOL IS THAT?????? I don't fly, so I won't be there!!! HEHEHEHEHEHE

 

[MaryAz]

How exciting that you and Nichole are on the same flight! I bet Lindsey and Kaylee will be happy as well. Sounds like they have lots in common.
I hope to see new pics from you this evening. Gotta love those sleepovers. Avery is having her first one with her cousin on Sat.

I guess we'll get to have a mini DIS meet at the terminal! It will be neat for Lindsey and Kaylee to meet. They seem to have similar interests and are really close in age. Thanks for the info on the cheaper flight credit too. I wish they'd just credit my card

I don't like to fly but Joe is insisting. When I worked for Ford in Detroit I used to travel all over the place. Then I grew up, saw 9/11 and had kids and now I hate it. My girls don't know that though.

I will start working on pics of my in-home celebration goodies. I need to upload pics of the cakes too. Hope you're having fun with the family. I'm looking forward to b-day party pics.

HI! I have been reading your ptr for te past hour! My eyes are killing me!! But on the upside, you have a great report. I am going the end of May, so your helping me reading your plans. I want to take my kids to the beach too! This is our first big trip, so I would like them to see the ocean, but I am with you, not sure which one to go to. Hopefully we will all figure it out before May!

 

[bouncycat]

Did you finally decide on a beach? Let me know if you need anymore help in that department. I can lead you straight to my house too!!! LOL

I don't like to fly cause I was leaving out of Daytona LOOOOONG time ago, and when we took off, we had fire coming out of the engine!! I was right by the window, and I guess it scarred me for life! AH well, life lessons, right? When DH's mom passed away, she was to be buried in Chicago, and he was stationed in San Diego, I BEGGED him to drive, but NOOOOOO we had to fly....I had a few cocktails....okay they were stronger then normal cocktails HAHA and got on the plane. Okay, maybe he drug me on the plane, I don't remember!! But, that's the last time I flew, and I'm comfortable with that.
Crazy what life throws at you sometimes!!! Live and learn, right?

Welcome to my PTR! I haven't made my final decision yet but luckily we have Christie to help I'm sure you will have a wonderful time at WDW. Have you been before?

YIKES on the Daytona flight Funny thing - a guy I work with gave me 9 free drink vouchers for Southwest tonight. I may have a glass of wine to take the edge off during the flight. I don't really drink but I don't really fly either...

Haven't decided on a beach yet. Haven't decided on a coast. Can you tell me which two beaches you would recommend on each coast and why? Sorry for making you work hard but I know you will have the most insight. I don't want to waste a day of vacation at a nasty beach. I would be very appreciative of your help

As promised here are pics of the cakes I did last weekend. Keep in mind that I'm still learning.

This one is the request of Justus, he wanted a Nintendo DS on top of his main cake. I made the DS out of rice krispie treats and fondant. My first attempt at both...and you can tell it... He was very, very happy with it...triple chocolate fudge cake with buttercream icing.

This is his second cake. He left the decisions on what to do up to me. His only request was triple chocolate fudge cake with peanut butter icing. I did a nintendo mario brothers theme on this one. I like this one the best of the two...

So there you have last weeks project. Up next pics of my WDW in-home celebration kit......

 

[leamom2princesses]

So here is what came in my big red box of fun (there is 11 of everything)....

All of the contents...

Here are the adult goody bag contents...

The kids' goody bags...

The other handouts for the families..(the girls really like the colored fortune cookies and Hannah Montana fridge word magnets)

Here is a pic of the info from the Mom's club, the games (WDW bingo, WDW trivia) and the activity (WDW wishmaker)...

And finally....

Each family gets one of these artist's sketches...they are kind of neat

They sent me a WDW photoalbum as my hostess gift. The kit also has a vacation planning video, a pamphlet of maps, cards for hosting your own party, and cards to order your own DVD. Anyone who fills out the card and sends it in by April 17th is entered to win a gold and diamond "MOM" necklace. I'm going to get started on the planning this weekend. If you have any ideas for the party feel free to pass them along

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

Those cakes are awesome!

 

[wlwilliams9]

Your cakes are AWESOME!! Can you make me a cake? You are so GOOD!

I want to come to the party! That looks like so much fun! I bet they'll be cake!!!
