Thanks Nicole! I'm sure there will be pictures and/or video! :thumbsup2 Let's hope it doesn't turn into that one on Youtube, where the kids are not happy that they don't get to go to "Dick's house" (I think that's who it is). Man, have you seen that video? :rotfl2:

No, I haven't! I'd go search for it but I'm afraid what I might get if I type that in the box! :rotfl2:

:rotfl2: True! (Kind of reminds me when I was going to go look for those rubber ID bracelets for the kids - don't type in rubber bracelets into google....:scared: )

Well, here you go:

I certainly hope that I don't get that reaction! Dick must have one heck of a house! :rotfl:

Thanks Michelle! Work was just awful today! I wasn't able to get on here or anywhere else for that matter even. :eek: (I did sneak away for my mini-pedicure at lunch though...shhhh :tiptoe: )

I WANT YOU TO GO WITH ME TOO!!!! I'm pretty sure I have reached my limit with my suitcases though, so I don't think I could pack you away to come with me! :sad2: That Hunter! He is too funny! That would be a hoot - just repeat all the same stuff...he won't know! (yeah, right!) :rolleyes1

I hope the kids are surprised! And have some kind of reaction! popcorn::

TOMORROW BABY!!!


Have a great time!!!

Thanks Nicole! I love the one with the big family...British, or Australian, or something...those kids faces crack me up! Gotta lower the volume on that one though :eek: The little boy's face at the end as they go through all those characters he's going to see...too cute! :love: Did you see that one?

I can't believe that tomorrow...ack...TODAY I will be leaving! Whoa! How'd that happen? :confused3

i haven't posted here yet but i've been reading your PTR since the beginning - i hope you have a WONDERFUL time!

Thanks for joining in! I appreciate it very much! I hope to have a fun trip report for you guys to read! :wizard:

Thanks Charlene! I still can't believe I'm leaving in just a few more hours! :goodvibes :woohoo: :goodvibes

Well, I just sat down for the first time after getting home from work today! :faint: I am exhausted! I'm mostly done with everything - finished cleaning (well, the cleaning I'm gonna get done, anyway..) - vacuumed, dusted, cleaned the bathrooms, cleaned out the fridge, put away laundry, put away toys (course they will all come out again tomorrow with Katie here :sad2: ) and then got to my packing. I managed to pack the kids stuff over the weekend...well, most of it anyway. I cleaned out my "park" bag (Overland Donner bag), and sorted through the pins (ugh...couldn't figure out which ones to bring. I bought some pins for Michael to trade, but I know there are some that he would really want to have on his lanyard, you know....to show off! :rolleyes: So, I picked some of the "lighter" ones (can't have them weighing down my checked baggage, LOL).

Finished the kids' goody bags for the plane/trip. I managed to get each one of them a sticker book, a small coloring thing, some snacks, new Disney sunglasses, chapstick/lipgloss, gum, (really looked for those dang cameras that I heard about, but alas...can't find 'em!).

I've got more glow sticks than any normal human should ever have! Seriously! My kids will probably be able to be seen from space! :laughing:

I went through the kids' school stuff, and filled out any forms that were going to be due during the upcoming day or so.

I think I have overpacked (again) for myself! Ugh! Why do I do this? It's just so hard to know what you are going to want to wear on any particular day! Of course, Shawn comes in, and in 5 minutes flat he has his suitcase packed and is out the door! :mad:

I have a few more things to print out for the trip (Shawn liked the ADR confirmation/cell phone #s credit card sized little thing I did last time, so I still need to do that. I have some TGM info I wanted to get printed off....Plus, I have a TON OF WORK TO DO! I just don't get how everthing is turned into a big emergency because I'm leaving! Geez, people! :headache: It's only a couple of days! I don't get people sometimes! :sad2:

Anyway, my eyes are shutting as I'm writing this, so good night. :angel:

It's officially the 8th of October! :woohoo: :woohoo: So I can say....

WE LEAVE TODAY!!!


Sara
 
Yay Sara!!!! Have a great trip TODAY! :yay: :woohoo: :yay: :woohoo: :yay: :woohoo: :yay: :woohoo: :yay: :woohoo: I can not wait to find out how the kids reacted to the surprise! (That video was great by the way :laughing: )
I'll miss you!!

Leave the light on for me - I'll be there the day after you leave! ;)
 
Have a GREAT time!!!!!!!!
:goodvibes

Thanks Alysa! I hope to have a good trip report to write! :goodvibes

I'll miss you too Michelle! :hug: I'll be sure to leave the light on for you ;) and I hope to not run them out of GGLCS! :drinking1 But I can't make any promises on that one! :laughing:

OMG! WE LEAVE TODAY!

Have a great trip!


Right back at ya! :hug: I hope you have a safe drive and I'll be looking for ya! :goodvibes



So, the kids are still totally clueless! :rotfl: They do know I've been packing, but I just told them we were going to go to "the mountain house" (my parents house - really unique name, eh?) and they bought it hook, line, and sinker! Gotta love the naivety of youth! (Is that how you spell that?)

I have everything packed except my flat iron (it was too hot still this morning to throw it in there) and a few toiletries that I'm waiting to see which bag I can throw them into! (I'm thinking Shawn's!) The kids were very excited to be going to the mountain house, so let's hope it doesn't backfire on me and turn into one of those "Dick's house" moments (see above video if you don't know what I'm talking about). If it does, I will not be posting a video as I will be heartbroken!

Got our Southwest boarding passes last night! And we are in the "A" boarding group - all 8 of us! Now, if someone could just knock me out before the flight and wake me up when we get there! :eek: For any of you who don't know, I HATE TO FLY!!!!! I mean, HATE IT!!!! I'm trying not to think about it, but I can't help myself! :scared1: I really do need some kind of drug, I think. Anti-anxiety, or something. Oh well, it's what the majority wanted, so that's what we are doing! :rolleyes:

I'll live. :goodvibes

I'll color! :laughing:

(It works!) ::yes::

I'll be checking in periodically today as I try to get this mountain of work finished up before heading out around 2:00! :goodvibes

So, thanks to Melonie (paparazzimama), I did a condensed itinerary for the trip. Shawn wants me to post this on the fridge at the house!

Just thought I'd share (I took off all of our more "personal" stuff, so if you see a few spots that look odd, that's why).

I am so excited for you and your family Sara!! I'm sure you guys will have a great trip - the kids are going to be so thrilled when they figure it out! (They better be! :laughing: )

Love the planning schedule too - very nice!

1 1/2 hours til you leave work!!!! :yay: :yay: :yay:
 
What's Sara doing RIGHT NOW?

My guess is Philharmagic and getting ready to have lunch at Columbia Harbor House.
