So Manny and I are making plans for a big yard sale over our April Vacation week! We've been going through the house, and piling stuff up on our porch. Manny begged me all last summer to have a yard sale to get rid of some of our "junk" as he calls it, but a yard sale is so much work, I never felt like. But I have agreed to have one now because we can use the money for Disney spending cash. That I will work hard for. The girls are very excited, they asked if they could sell lemonade, so we're going to work on a little lemonade stand.
My friend is moving, and I told her about it, so she might put stuff aside to bring to the yard sale too. I figure the more stuff out there, the more people will pull over to look!
I'm kind of excited, the kids are more so. But pretty soon, we'll start making signs. I'm thinking we'll have it on sunday april 19. boy I hope the weather is good. of course we can always do it the following sunday though. I work saturday nights, so saturday is out, I refuse to sit outside all day and then go to work
So, that's what we're up to....We're planning a yard sale

 

[wlwilliams9]

Ugh! I feel your pain on the yard sale! The are a TON of work! I plan on having one this year, but I'm not looking forward to it! We have a subdivision sale every June, so I'll be having one then. I have so much junk and furniture to sell and I think this is the year to sell with the economy the way it is. Everyone's looking for a bargain!

 

[leamom2princesses]

I'm working on a yard sale before the trip too. We have a storage unit and two closets full of things that must go. I hope to make some extra spending money too. I think Wendy's right. This year is probably the year to do it with the economy the way it is.

Good luck on your yard sale

First......HAPPY 40 DAYS!!!!!


I used to have a yard sale every year with my DSIL. Then she up and moved away...darn her! They are so much work and, without her here to do them with, I've started just donating my stuff to Goodwill. It was fun with her...without her it's just work! But...If I had Disney money as my motivator I would be all over it! I hope you have a great day for it! If you do it the 19th, that's the day we leave!

Yay for 40 days! Good luck with the yard sale. I did one a few mothes ago with friends and it did not go so well. I may do another though. Still trying to come up with ways to get extra $$$ for Disney.

Yeah, I figured, it wouldn't hurt to clean out the house and make a little extra spending money!!

Yeah, they are not fun without a partner, my dh will be in charge of the kids, after he lugs everything outside that is And my brother is coming over, and probably my best friend!
Ok, so i'll be thinking about you while my yard sale is going on.....you will be in a much better place than I.

Sorry your yard sale did not go so well. We had a huge one a few years back when my grandmother sold her house, oh , she had so much stuff!!! We wont' have that much this time, but hopefully it will go well.


WE ARE NOW IN THE 30'S WOO HOO FOR 39 DAYS!!!!!

My SILs are leaving this wednesday!!! I'm sure they are getting excited. Only 5 more days for them! Wow, I can't wait until i'm at that point.

 

[3princesses+aprince]

Ok so we got our magical express tags in the mail yesterday. I was never so excited....yet. The mail came as i was on my way out the door for work, so i was trying to look through the packet that comes with it while driving. I then decided that was dangerous and waited until i got to work to read it. How exciting, it tells you where to go in the airport to find the disney welcome center. I gotta show the kids this morning.
My boss came back to work yesterday, she was in disney with her family. She was depressed, i felt so bad, and said " oh man, this is what my first day back to work will be like" anyways, she bought me a little disney picture frame that has a stand and a magnet on the back, it's awesome. The kids love it. I'll post pics of it and my me tags later. I'm so excited today 38 more days!!!!!

Here are some pictures of Sam's friend's bowling birthday party last weekend.

I'm not sure why they came out so dark, maybe it was because of the bright neon lights. I don't know.

But here is what Sam suckered Manny into at Walmart...She did need a new comforter set though. Wall-e!!!!!!!!

And here are some of our Magical Express tags and the little booklet, I was so excited to read through that.

And here is what my boss brought back from Disney for me. I love it. She is going to bring in pictures from her trip, hopefully tonight. Oh and the shirt I made her....Oh, man it looks great now. She had all of the characters at Chef Mickey's sign it. It looks awesome. She is not going to wash it of course, it's to save.

Well the girls are watching the Incredibles on the Disney Channel right now. I saw that it was on, and said "Here watch this, we're going to see them in Disney World" So of course they are all into it and wondering which of them they're going to meet there.


And another bowling party for me tomorrow. Lizzie got invited to one for her friend. Only....we're getting sick , I have had a headache since last night, and I really hope I feel better by tomorrow, cause it was very loud in there last weekend. And Lizzie is so looking forward to this, so sick or not, we're going.

 

[wlwilliams9]

Yay for your DME tags and booklet! I get sooo excited when I get Mickey mail. I'm waiting for my vouchers and souvenir luggage tags...anyday now!!

Our local bowling alley has a program from memorial day to labor day where if you sign up, the kiddos bowl all summer for free! Here is the link: http://www.kidsbowlfree.com/ to see if your local bowling alley is participating. Fun and free, can't get any better than that!

I hope you don't get sick. Yuck! Feel better!!

 

[bertegirl]

I wish we would get our tags and stuff. I love our TA, but I think next time we will book on our own! I hate not being able to make changes or find anything out when you call. Plus they have to send the stuff to her first and then she sends it on to us! Ugh...I hate waiting. I am letting Jenny cut up a magazine and make a collage. Its blowing and snowing here. We are in for a major blizzard...in April. At least it won't last. The comforter is too cute. We still need to watch the movie, though!

 

[leamom2princesses]

I can't wait to get our paperwork. Looks like Sam had a good time bowling. She's a doll. The comforter is too cute. My girls love the Incredibles. There aren't many Disney characters that they don't love though.

 

[MaryAz]

Yay for Mickey Mail! Hope you are not getting sick. Have fun bowling!!

 

[my2disneyboys]

Those ME packets are so cute! I wish I was getting one- we are renting a car. We book with a TA and last time she sent us a box with our vouchers and tons of info- she included little gifts for the kids (a little einstein towel and a mickey bowling set- so cute) and tons of Mickey confetti. It was really sweet- I cant wait to see what she sends this time.

Yeah, I work for AAA, so I was going to book through a TA there, but I decided to go straight through Disney and that's how I will do it next time to. Because there is already a next time in the planning

They do like the Incredibles movie, I like it too.

Me and Lizzie are feeling pretty good today, so I think it will be a good day.

Wow, that's nice that she sends little gifts.

So Me and Lizzie are feeling good today! My headache went away at work last night, and i've felt fine ever since. I woke up to Lizzie's loud mouth and said " oh great she's fine today" Manny said she slept almost all night while I was at work last night. So I thought she was getting really sick.
So we're getting ready to go bowling but I wanted to come and post good news.

I was just talking on the phone to my best friend Nicole, makdyn, here on the dis. Ya know the one that I posted the crazy pictures of when we were little. and guess what

















WE ARE MAKING PLANS TO GO TO DISNEY WORLD TOGETHER IN SEPTEMBER
2010!!!!! WE'RE GOING TO TELL THE KIDS THAT WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY AGAIN, BUT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO KNOW THAT NICOLE IS GOING WITH US UNTIL WE GET TO THE AIRPORT. HER DAUGHTERS ARE THE GIRLS I BABYSAT THAT DAY AND WENT TO WATCH THE PLANES, THEY ARE GOING TO BE 9 AND 6. OH MY GOD, WE CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE HOW EXCITED THE KIDS ARE GOING TO BE TO GO TOGETHER.
We're of course hoping for free dining, and we know we want to go to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!!!!!
We were talking about Disney, because Nicole had a dream about it last night and she said she wanted to go this september, but would really rather wait until next September. And I said, I really want to go next September too, why don't we plan to go together. AWESOME, I'm really excited too. We're going to book it in August when the 2010 rates come out!!!
Is that just the best darn news ever. I told Manny and he is very excited too. Can you imagine this excitement coming from someone that didn't even want to go on this trip when we first booked it. Now we havn't even finished our first and he's excited about the second. That just makes me so happy!!!

 

[wlwilliams9]

WOW!! That is exciting news!! Free Dining is a huge savings for your family! Gotta love that! It'll make it easier leaving WDW knowing you are coming back!

I know, I think I will be Ok when we get back from our May trip now. My boss was pretty depressed these past 2 nights at work, and i keep thinking, "I don't want to feel like that" But this will help for sure. I've actually been thinking about that trip all morning. So as soon as we get back I'll be planning again
