I finally got my shirts made. I am so excited and now I have 2 more that I want to make for me. I have one iron on sheet left and not shirts so I guess off to Michaels I go.
Here are what we have so far.

They gray ones I am giving the boys at the airport for our flight/first day. Mom gets gray also but I had to do white. Michaels didn't sell grey in Adults size and mom is petite enough to wear youth XL. The Goofy/Beer shirt is the one shirt DH really wanted so that is for Epcot day for him. Not sure when I am wearing the life is good. (yes I ironed it crooked, on accident and will prob. wear it any way) Prob. Monday (day 2) w/ the shirts below.

Day #2 Magic Kingdome and breakfast w/ Mickey

Star Wars Shirts for DHS day. I have a retro Star Wars shirt that I will wear this day also.

Phineas and Ferb shirts. 5clarks5 made me one w/ Isabell that I need to make to wear that day also.

Wow w/ my last post I saw I am one,one wk 3 days away. I am getting so excited. I will be even more so first of next month when I get to 0 months (and we get paid so I have extra $$ to spend on trip stuff)

These are for the ID badges for the boys.

I will take a pict of the flip side and post it in a bit. Plus the one I made for me. I printed out cards w/ mine, DH and my parents cell numbers in case we need it. After loosing DH7 yesterday at the amusement park twice I am going to get them to strat wearing them at the park also I think.

We went to Busch Gardens VA yesterday. We have passes there now. DH got DS 4 on his first big coaster yesterday. I was hoping to get him on so maybe he will be more interested in stuff and less scared when we go to Disney. Well he settled down going up the first hill then the whole time. He was so upset and kept telling me he was scared and didn't like it. We went on the "sky buckets" next and after we got off and realized it was nothing he said he wasn't scared of it. I guess I am glad that mom/dad are going w/ us on our trip so some one can sit w/ him while he refuses to ride rides at Disney.

Today I got my first planning Mickey Mail!!! I have gotten my maps but today I got my Magical Express info and luggage tags!!! I could just dance I am so excited. One more thing to make it feel that much more real.

Today I was putting info on notecards. I read that some one was doing that and liked the idea.

I have one for each day and it's kind of like this:
Day 2, Monday, March 4th,
Magic Kingdom 9-10 (Hrs)

7:20am Chef Mickey #123456578 (resi #)

3:00 Pradae
9:00 illuminations
10:00 Wishes

and them room for must see or other things I want to note and then I can grab one for that day and stick it in my "cary on" purse. The one that will have my camera, wallet and other small things that is small enought I can easily take onto rides.

flip side of the badges w/ our food credits, and on the flip side I wrote our ADR info and resi numbers.

I have been doing some packing lately. I have a bag full of stuff for the plane and it's looking really full rigt now. But for a family of 5 that means we can have 5 cary on bags plus one "personal" item. Mostly that applies to only me. I don't want to make a bag for each boy b/c that's a lot to keep track of and we will prob. end up checking it at the hotel when we get in. I will prob. break it up into 2 or 3. Since we fly early and will be able to get to the park around lunch (hopefully) I have stuff in the bag that we will need for the park (autograph book, camera for the boys...). Then we have some fun things and activites for the plane ride.

I also started paking some of the boys stuff. Not much but I hope to have the basics packed by Easter so I can drop off my bag at my parents. I will have to hold off on the socks and undies for them and pack them last minute w/ my stuff I guess. They don't have enough for me to pack all of that. I have the shirts that I made in bags and used the Mickey Paint chips to put their name and Day of the week in the bag to label them. I will add the shorts for that day to that bag. Now for the days that I don't have shirts made for I will just pack that loose for them to pick from I think. I also have started putting aside toiletries for the trip so they are in one central place.

I have spent so much time on this trip I don't kow what I will do w/ my time after this trip.

Today my first born turned 10. Wow he hit the double digits makes me feel old

Last night we went out to eat at Red Robin for dinner. Appearantly it was birthday day b/c there were a lot of people there getting sung to. DS looks at me and says "Will they sing to me also?" I told him not if he didn't want them to (he is not one to be the center of attention) and he tells me that he is "too old for that now" really??? too old?? Hey if it gets me free icecream they can sing to me all they want. He got to shop w/ his birthday money and it was all Bakuugan stuff this year. It's usually legos but he has a foot locker full of legos and instruction books that are ripped up and too hard to use. So I was glad he looked at some different stuff.

today we are off to get a "big cookie" to take to school to share w/ his classmates.

33 days left!!

I went to Wal*Mart the other day actully in search of a "large" cookie for my oldest DS. It was his brithday and that is what he wanted me to bring to his class. They didn't have any but on the way out I walked though the clearance section. I noticed a 3 piece luggage set. The rolling luggage is the smaller size 20", a duffle and toiletry case. It and several others were in the clearance secton but didn't have a sticker on it. So I scanned it and the origional price was $36 but it was marked down to $15!! So I got me a new set.

See my name isn't "piratemamaof3" just b/c I have boys but I fancy myself a pirate also so this luggage is for me. Well for this trip I have 2 of the boys stuff in the duffle but I will but it to use for me also. It's a good size for our wknd trips to my parents also.

I got the boys mostly packed. One is really lacking in short sleve shirts so I don't have all of his packed yet. I have a list of what is missing (jacket, underware) so I can pack that and take it down to my parents when we go there to leave for our trip. Their own toiletries bags are packed. I bought kids travel sets that come w/ a tooth brush and mini tooth paste and some roll on soaps from Avon that have Lightening McQueen and Mater on them. Go figure though I thought they won't need a lof of shorts before we leave and yesterday we went to the amusement park and they needed shorts. Oops... I'll have to blame it to them "being in the attic some where" if we need more b/n now and then.
