You're the best parents in the world! I gotta pee! Where's My Tooth? Trip report!

I'm still way behind. Just read page 66. I love the pics of theose deer looking things standing on hind legs and eating the leaves. How cool is that!

You'll soon be caught up again. Weren't those deer/animals the coolest things?!?! They stood on their hind legs for what seems like forever while eating those leaves.

I forgot to tell ya'll that I got ANOTHER set of Mickey mail. This time it included Lacey. So, I've got one with: 1) John, Lisa and Hunter at Pop Century; 2) John, Lisa and Hunter at Caribbean Beach Resort; and, 3) John, Lisa, Lacey and Hunter at Caribbean Beach Resort. Each have luggage tags and the vouchers. I am not trying to cheat Disney out of anything but I'm wondering if I'll be able to use all of the vouchers.

Yes you can. I know of others who have done it.

 

[mickeystoontown]

Yes you can. I know of others who have done it.

It's good to hear that somebody has been able to use more than one of the same vouchers. I'm going to definitely give it a try. I figure I've given Disney World, literally, tens of thousands of dollars over the last 13 (soon to be 14) trips so I'm not going to feel guilty if it works.

Glad to hear the yard sale went well . I love going to yard sales, but Dale isn't much on them. How did the mall trip go? I told Dale I would get him some shorts for our trip, but he will not wear shorts when we go anywhere . After the last 3 days, and the stress of worrying about him, he could say he wanted to wear a grass skirt and I would go out and buy him a whole wardrobe of them .

 

[longing2Batdisney]

Glad to hear the sale went well. Hope the mall trip was a success!!
Ashton's party was a lot of fun!!! We do not know many children his age so it is always just perfect Ashton, and three other children.
Lisa you and your family are always welcome!!! to join in our little tiny bit of fun...the ride should only be about 4/5 hrs down I55????

 

[DisneymoonJess07]

What great success with your sale! Good luck shopping for your husband!

 

[jenseib]

All Caught up! whew! that was alot of reading.
I'm glad your sale went well. I had one about a month ago that was such a flop. I made next to nothing. I wasn't priced high either, but people do want stuff for basically free.

We ended up not going to the mall yesterday afternoon. I thought that Lacey and Jesse would NOT be gone every day at dinnertime. I usually buy groceries every Sunday after church. We were out of tea, milk, cereal, you know the stuff that you just gotta have. So, I went to Wal Mart instead of the mall.

I'm so glad that Ashton had a great party. I'd be perfectly happy with just three kids coming to a party. Lacey once had 54 kids shows up to her birthday party! Thank goodness I used to get paid to do kid's parties and was able to throw extra stuff together.

We hardly ever get down to South Louisiana. Heck, we hardly get anywhere other than work and WalMart.

What great success with your sale! Good luck shopping for your husband!

Thanks! We didn't make a whole lot of money at the garage sale but it was enough for the kids to have spending money.

The most I have ever made at a garage sale was $300.00. I know what you mean about people wanting stuff for free. I mean how much cheaper can I price something when it's already 10 cents?

Okay, an update, just not a trip report update. That'll probably come tomorrow when I am at work.

We were all really bad and slept in this morning. For some reason, all of our allergies have been acting up the last week. Hunter has been sneezing so much, his nose bled really bad a couple of days ago. John's eyes were itching and he rubbed them so much they were red. I had a really bad sinus headache. Lacey and Jesse just overslept. They went to church 45 minutes late. Oh well, we usually sing for at least 30 minutes and the church is really big so they probably slipped in without being noticed.

The children's church camp leader asked Lacey and Jesse if they could stay all week. Not just in the evenings. They also told them that the camp would be at Lake Bistineaux (spelling?) which is about 2 hours away. One way. There's no way they could drive 2 hours, do evening services and then drive 2 hours back home late at night. They also didn't want to stay all day long because that's cutting out the time that she would spend with her family. So, children's church camp is totally out.

John and I went to Old Navy and Target this afternoon. I don't know if I have told you or not but John would stay at home 24/7 if he could. He doesn't care anything about going to the store or the mall or anywhere. He also doesn't give a hoot about what he wears. He has some shirts and shorts that are so holey it's pitiful. He says they wear better because they are "broke in". He just doesn't care what anybody thinks so long as he's comfortable.

Anyway.....sorry......we didnt' find anything at Target but a little food processor/chopper for Lacey to take back to their duplex. I forgot, we did find Hunter a t-shirt.

Then, we headed over to Old Navy. John was so goofy. He asked if he could stay in the car. What? We're looking for you some shorts you nut job! We lucked out. Old Navy was having a buy one/get one half off sale. John got two pairs of khaki shorts. The first pair was $19.50 and the other one was half off. They are the exact same but you can wear anything with khakis which is always a plus. I also got Hunter three pairs of socks for just $3.99. And, I got two shirts for me. They aren't regular t-shirts, they are more fitted. I got a purple and a red. Both will match shorts I already have.

We have just about everything we need now. I may have a few odds and ends. There is one thing I know I need to do.......I know that most of you, if not all, are female so you'll know what I am about to say is true. I want to get some comfortable underwear. Who wants to ride in a car all day or walk through a park all day with uncomfortable underwear? "Not I" said this little piggie! Sorry if you think that's too much information to share but I now think of you all as my friends and friends talk about such things.

I'm off now to check my ebay. Sales have been slow lately. But, sales always slow down in the Summer.

 

[longing2Batdisney]

I buy Danny at least two or three pair of the same types of shorts every year (usually denim) jeans, too! As long as his shirts are different who cares. When he finds something he likes the fit we are set-LOL!

If you PM me your email address I can try to share Ashton's pics from facebook (since you do not have an acct, yet!--and I do not have a thread to post to.)

Have a great evening!

[MICKEY4EVER!]

Glad the yard sale was a success! You've inspired me to have one, if I can get my DH to let go of a few things, that is!

On the underwear issue, I keep seeing these Hanes commercial that say they "don't ride up". I haven't bought any yet, but every time I see that commercial, I want to run straight to Wal-Mart!

 

[aaaateamsgrandma]

You had one busy weekend. Glad you did so well on the garage sale. We have an annual one in our subdivision. I keep saving things for it but it is the week after Mother's Day and I always seem to be gone when it comes. I think I am at the point I need to pitch it all and start over.

Your time is sooooooooo close.

John has several button up shirts but they all have some kind of pattern on them so he has to have some "plain" shorts. If it were up to him, he'd wear camoflague ones every day.

I'm about to send you a p.m. now.

Your husband sounds like John. He has no problem whatsoever getting rid of my "junk" but doesn't want to turn loose of any of his.

Underwear is an important issue with me. If you're wearing the kind that "ride up" or have the really thick elastic on the legs, that can make for one heck of a long day when you are riding in a car for hours upon hours.

It was really busy. Since Lacey and Jesse have decided not to do children's church camp, I'm trying to come up with ideas of cheap stuff for them to do during the day. There really isn't much around here to do.

Friday night, when all the garage sale junk was shrown all over the carport, John and I looked at each other and said "where did all this come from?". Seriously, I don't know! We have a garage sale every year and I know I didn't accumulate all that stuff in just one year.

Yes, I know that the time for another trip is close. John has to finish a whole set up upper cabinets and get them installed before we leave. Looks like he's going to be working some late nights.

Don works at a grocery warehouse and has worked 2 hours over everyday since mid May. He is quite tired of it. It is fair week here so it should slow down. Please PM me with your link to FB.

Re: the underwear issue. I found some great ones at Dillards. They weren't cheap but they are fantastic. No riders.

 

[Angies1274]

So happy to hear that your garage sale was so successful!! We have been gathering things around here all weekend, hoping to have one next weekend!!! I told the boys that if they can find any old toys that they want to sell, then they can use the money from the toy sales to spend in Disney. They were very excited--and so far have filled 3 bags with toys they want to get rid of and a box of books. Yay!! We're finally getting some Spring cleaning done....we're only a few months late.

 

[hhockman]

Man, I could have sworn I posted last night, but apparently not.

Glad you guys did so well on the garage sale! I'd really like to have one to raise some Disney money, but like Ginny, we have to do it when the HOA says. They do it twice a year but I don't think the next one is until October or something. We did it last time and made $27. But we weren't really prepared. It was kind of last minute.

I'd REALLY like to have a scrapbook garage sale. I have so much stuff I want to get rid of that is hard to sell on ebay because it's 12x12. I did sell a few things on ebay before we went to World Series...and that was supposed to be spending money for me...but I had to use it to pay for the boys' Fall Baseball. So hopefully I'll get some from somewhere else.

Looking forward to the next update. You are making me so excited to go. And now I can finally really start concentrating on our trip.

P.S. I have classic Donald shirt in an XXL that I got off the DisneyStore site. Matt doesn't like it AT ALL. If you think John would wear it I will send it to you. It was too cheap to be worth sending back. I know XXL might be too big for him, but you said he likes his shirts big. Just LMK.

Since John is self employed, he's able to make his own hours but if he wants to get the cabinets done and, more importantly, collect the balance the people owe, he needs to get the cabinets installed before we leave.

Let me get the Facebook link and I'll send it to you. I also owe Connie a p.m.

I'm glad to hear that the boys are willing to give up some of their toys. Hunter was just the opposite. We originally though we would do the garage sale when Lacey came home in May. I started cleaning out closets and the attic way back in April. We have a store building which we call the "junkhouse". It houses all kinds of junk....camping supplies, some holiday decorations, lawn chairs...thus the name "junkhouse'. That's where all the garage sale stuff was stored. Something came up and we couldn't do the sale in May. So, I kept on cleaning out closets and cabinets and drawers. You couldn't even walk in the junkhouse.

Sorry, I got a little away from the original thought process. Anyway, we cleaned out Hunter's room way back in April. The stuff had been stored in the junkhouse for three months and Hunter never even missed his stuff until we pulled it out to sell it. That's when he asked if we were "selling his entire childhood".

We live on three acres at the end of a subdivision. You have to drive through the subdivision to get to our acreage. The minute we put our garage sale sign up, two other families started pulling out stuff to sale so they could have a spur-of-the-moment garage sale using MY ad I placed in the paper. It never fails when I have a garage sale that they do that. Kind of ticks me off because they get free advertising. They know the garage sale people have to pass by their house first in order to get to my house. Oh well, nothin' I can do about it.

Let me tell you about a little thing my sisters and I did several years ago. We had a Christmas Open House (in October) craft sale at my house. It was a perfect setting....log house....big Christmas trees.....Christmas music playing. We had tons of homemade goodies for sale. Maybe that's something ya'll could do and you could sale your scrapbooking stuff. People are always wanting to do cheap scrapbooking especially around the holidays.

Right now, my ebay sales are slim to none. I have always found that during the Summer time, sales are slow. They'll pick up again when the weather starts getting cooler and people are sitting in front of their computers more.

I think a 2X would be too big for John. I wonder if Dana's husband Dale could wear it? Dana! Where are you?

 

[mickeystoontown]

I'm about to try to type another Magic Kingdom update but I wanted to tell ya'll something first. I am a bit put off by some of the posters on Intercot. As you'll remember, I've had some really nice comments made about my trip report. Rave reviews even. I have had one lady say she'll be there the same time and if she spots me she's going to stop and have her picture made with me because I am a celebrity.

Anyway, a few days ago, I posted that I apologized for not posting an update yet but we had some shopping to do for John. He needed new shorts. And, some smart *** asked if John would be wearing jorts again. And then somebody posted "that's hilarious". Then the original poster came back and made another comment about jorts. Now, I know that jean shorts aren't the most fashionable thing for men to wear. But, the ones that John did have on were not the old timey cut off jean shorts or the really tight jean shorts. They were the cargo type jean shorts. Needless to say, I was pissed. I almost posted "Didn't your mama ever tell you if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." But I didn't. I posted something funny instead.

Maybe I took it the wrong way? Ya'll know that I have no problem whatsoever with people laughing at the things we do, the things we have happen to us or the things that we say. But I don't like being made fun of. They can kiss my Louisiana butt as far as I am concerned.

The only reason I am finishing up my report over there is because I have too many nice readers on Intercot.

And that's my "vent for the day".

Good for you laugh it off. No one likes being made fun of - and since when did jean shorts on guys become "unfashionable?" My DF wears jean shorts, they aren't mid thigh length and they certainly aren't cut offs... eh well... We love you here on the Dis, booooo to intercot!

 

[MICKEY4EVER!]

It's fine to laugh at the funny antics you guys do, because we are laughing ALONG WITH YOU! That was a jab at John from some severely insecure dummy who needs to get a life! That makes me angry. There's nothing wrong with a guy wearing jean shorts so long as they aren't too short. I never noticed his shorts anyways. Again, somenone needs to get a life! I dislike Intercot.
