Washing the grey away, again

I am sitting at the salon waiting for my timer to ring. There was no way I could let Mickey and the gang see me before a much needed touch-up! Sadly, it does not take long these days before a touch up is needed. I am close to the point that if I would let it grow out I would be basically fully grey. I am not getting old but my hair seems to be. 🙂

We are just a few short days away. I really do think I am worse than the kids in how anxious I am to go on this trip. I definitely need the time away from the homestead but I think it is more how much I think the girls will enjoy it. I have neighbors who think we are crazy saying it is all over priced and over rated. I think I agreed until we went almost 2 years ago. The thrill on my daughters faces, and my husbands to be honest, was magical. It truly is the happiest place in the world for us (at this point in our lives anyway).

Happy girls make me happy!

We are almost ready to jump on the plane. Both girls bags are packed. Mine could be in seconds since it is piled on the guest bed. I believe Frank has even begun to organize. A few short days away, can’t wait!

Take seven days fun in the sun…..

We are officially 5 days away from the highly anticipated Disney trip.  According to the girls it is only 4 days since we leave our house at 5:30 am Saturday so they do not count the day :-).   I guess with that logic, today is almost over since they are in bed  so we are down to 3 days!  Wow time is flying! ;-).

We began to process of packing over the weekend.  We will not be traveling light.  The weather in Orlando this week was chilly.  It is supposed to be much warmer next week so we will take clothes that cover the spectrum. I do not mind buying an item or two but would not like to be stuck having to buy full outfits due to strange weather swings.

So when we went to Disney in October 2011, Madison ended up with a bad sinus/ear infection.  I remember sitting at the minute clinic for over an hour waiting to be seen.  Poor kid was miserable but trudged on for the rest of the week.  Over the last few weeks we have all battled illness like the rest of the country.  My ear has still been bothering me from a few weeks ago so I called the doctor today.  They called in an ear drop for me, hope this clears it up the rest of the way!

Then there is my baby, Madi woke up today a mess.  Cough, stuffy and by late in the day a sore ear.  She has an appointment with the pediatrician once again tomorrow.  I of course would rather this all happen before we leave. I can only hope and pray that we are all healthy on the trip!  We have been looking forward to this for so long, I hope nothing spoils it!

I think we are all in need of some warm and sunny weather!  Supposed to be 88 degrees and mostly sunny in Orland on Saturday….that is SO what the doctor ordered!stylish_sun5

We are going mobile

As we head into the final few days before heading to Disney, I am trying to think of ways to trim down what I will be carrying. Trudging through the airport with two young children and a husband is enough without an over stuffed bag!

I wanted to bring my laptop so that I could blog about the trip, self serving maybe but I enjoy it. Also i wanted to download picture from my camera. After thinking about the silliness of transporting an expensive laptop when I can store several thousands of pictures on memory cards and use an app for the blog I rethought my plan.

Welcome to my first ever mobile post! By this time next week will will be back in the hotel after enjoying dinner in Epcot. Can not wait!
