Since I took care of most of the packing, I thought it would be a great idea for the girls to get their carry-ons ready. We have about a 2 hr drive to the airport, so I am hoping we can arrange things in their bag for easy in and out. Our must haves:
To add to their carry-on the girls got these personalized water bottles. I purchased these from Swirly Twirly Designs. The girls absolutely love them! Here is their suitcase...I used gallon sized Ziplocs, labeled the day it was for and put all their clothes in (including undies). I was pleasantly surprised how little room everything took up once we packaged everything. I will def be using this method on future trips.

What is better than a little Disney B-I-N-G-O! I used some of the goodies I found at the $1 store and 5 Below for (I separated into 2 piles so there wouldn't be any fighting). I made the bingo sheets on excel, I made a few them and overlapped some of the characters. Each time of the girls got bingo I let each of them pick a prize from their pile, until all the prized were gone. Our big bee also lost a her first top tooth. She looks so funny...only a matter of time until the next one comes out!
One week!!!! Eeeek!
We have a busy evening: dinner, dance and back to school night. So this morning the girls each got some Princess PJs and I pulled out maps of the parks and our hotel. I really don't think the girls have any idea how massive Disney World really is. We talked a little about the characters, waiting to stand inline for their autographs, waiting in line for rides, and how we have to all be patient. I had these personalized maps done online thru Disney. Don't plan on actually taking them to the park but thought it would be a great keepsake for the girls. If you have never been to www.spoonful.com, check it out! They have cute crafts, good recipes, party ideas and more! I love Monsters, Inc and had to do this when i saw it. Mike Wazowski Paper Craft. With some blood, sweat and tears we got Mike finished!
Today the girls also got a small gift. A princess nightlight! Scored this bad boy at the dollar store! Hoping this will help bedtime, if I tell them its a magical nightlight??? It seemed to work...I guess we will see next week. Tonight we had a candlelit dinner, just like Lady and the Tramp. I substituted spaghetti for spaghetti squash, I still call it spaghetti and the girls don't seem to notice the difference. We just started eating spaghetti squash earlier this year and I must say - we have been missing out. Its the coolest thing and I was amazed the first time I made it. Here is the menu:
Today we read some of our Disney Books. The girls also got a park of Princess underwear (I'm sure someday they will just love this post). I was lucky to find a pack of Frozen and a pack of Ariel underwear at our local Kohls. Look how happy they are!!!!!!!!!
The excitement.....might kill us all. I decided to do this movie tonight, because my Hub would be away for the evening coaching football...and he can't seem to Let it Go! We already had a party with the Frozen theme so I had to think about this one a little bit harder. This time around here is what I came up with:
Special gift of the night - FROZEN sunglasses!
Over the summer I found these beads on a clearance rack and the colors reminded me of Frozen. I bought them not really knowing what I was going to do with them. Then I saw an idea from a birthday party to make Frozen bracelets. So tonight we made our own version of a Frozen bracelet using the beads and elastic string.
Its hard to get a dinner and movie night in during the week but this one worked well since we grabbed take out for Mulan! We swung into one of our favorite restaurants here in Happy Valley, Cozy Thai and grabbed some of their yummy Fried Rice and Spring Rolls. For dessert we finished up the Mickey Mouse cupcakes we made last night!
Tonight we make Mickey Mouse cupcakes! It was a great treat for after dance as well!
We used regular golden butter cupcakes, icing, regular size Oreos and mini Oreos. |
