The excitement is building...

The kids and I are so very excited. We now have only 10 days until we leave for Disneyworld!!! I have a lot of things packed already, including quite a few surprises for the kids. All three of us talk about the trip a lot. We are a little sad that Chris can't go with us, but I don't think that he is. We are trying to convince him that we NEED another Disneyworld trip next spring, and that he NEEDS to come with us. I think that it will be easier to sway him once we come back with pictures and talk of our experiences.

I've got personalized "I can't wait" Disney shirts for each of the kids (to wear the day we fly to Disney). Those are hidden away and will be pulled out the night before we leave, after the kids are in bed, when I lay out their clothes for the morning. The Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party is a COMPLETE surprise to them. They know it exists, but think that it only happens in October because the Disney trip planner DVD says so. Only, I know that they added dates to it and that the first night of the party is our first night there. The kids will get to pick out costumes the morning of our first day, but won't know that they'll be wearing them that night.

I've also got a bunch of the "glow stick" necklaces and bracelets to surprise them with (I bought a bunch really cheap, Disney sells them for about $5 each - so I'm bringing a supply with us). The kids each have their spending money put aside, and I've got a list of things we want to remember to get. No child should have their first Disney trip without getting personalized Mickey Mouse ears (right?). What about Mom? I might even get a pair of Minney Mouse ears. Will I look like an idiot? Really, it is Disneyworld, the happiest place on earth. Who cares if I look like an idiot - as long as we are all having fun!!

10 MORE DAYS!!!! I'm having a hard time thinking about anything else.
