Brian has outgrown all of his church clothes. His pants looked like he was waiting for a flood, and we are definitely not expecting one of those anytime soon, but I digress. He complained about his shoes being too tight, and the black socks...when I could find some that actually matched they usually had holes in them.
So we had a mother and son outing to Burlington Coat Factory. They have an excellent selection of dress clothes for boys. We found some new shoes, exactly like the last ones, only a few sizes larger. Then I chose a couple of pairs of black pants, while Brian picked out shirts and ties. I wasn't planning on getting shirts, but Brian was very thoughtful about his selections and I couldn't disappoint him. Then he found a "real tie" that was the right length. It didn't have a tag, but there was a sales associate that picked out another tie that was marked $2.99 and told us to just use that one. Sweet!
So we got shoes, 2 pants, 2 shirts and 2 ties for $62. I think we did pretty good! Brian was very excited to show off all his new things when he got home.
Today as he was getting ready for church, daddy helped him tie his first real tie. He sure is growing up.
As for the rest of us, Danielle has been running a high fever since Thursday, it finally broke on Saturday morning, she is still very lethargic, is not eating much and has a sore throat, which makes her cry when she coughs. I started to feel like I was getting it yesterday, and today Emily is complaining about her throat being sore. Guess we will just continue to sit around the house and be lazy some more until school starts.
Speaking of being lazy...I feel really bad for not keeping up with our blog this summer. But actually we have not done anything very interesting. I will do a recap soon, but actually planning our upcoming Walt Disney World trip is what has been keeping me busy lately.
I have been spending hours on the Internet researching, planning, learning, reading everyday. Here is how I am spending my time this summer.
I hop on the DIS Boards to get lots of info: http://www.disboards.com and http://www.wdwinsiders.com/
I subscribe to newsletters from these sites: www.mousesavers.com, and www.allears.net
I read interesting blogs about Disney: http://scarlettachely1.wordpress.com, www.themouseconnection.com, http://disneyshawn.blogspot.com/
I bought the Unofficial Guide to Disneyworld, as well as touring plans from Ridemax, Tour Guide Mike, and Touring Plans. I have Disney World Apps on my iphone including WDW Lines and Undercover Tourist.
I am making ADR's, finding codes for car rental deals, getting deals on hotels from Wednesday Internet only specials. I have booked BBB for Emily, Pirates League for Brian,and a trip to the MK Barber Shop for Danielle.
I am stalking ebay for Princess dresses, and trading pins.
I ordered a Encyclopedia of Disney Characters, and I am going to have it spiral bound to use for autographs. I need to pick up some retractable sharpie markers.
I am collecting items to keep the kids entertained and having fun: Disney Pez dispensers, mister fans, glow sticks, flash lights, and silly bands.
I am planning to let the kids have fun filling a box with Disney Mr. Potato Head parts, and making your Light Saber in Downtown Disney.
I have received my set of Walt Disney World maps, and I am going to send a request for an autographed Disney Character print.
I am making invitations for dining at the castle with Cinderella, and having a postcard from Mickey sent to the kids before our trip letting the kids know how excited he is to meet them.
I have figured out the best day to do what park, I am planning to be at ropedrop every morning, I have scheduled all the parades, shows, and special events.
I am still trying to book a Fantasmic Package, and I can't wait until the Ridemax dates for October are up, so I can schedule our rides and fasspass timing.
I still have a few more little surprises to buy for the kids.
The countdown on my iphone app currently reads 71 days 1 hour and 35 minutes, and I cannot WAIT.
Can you tell I am excited not only about the trip, but having a blast planning all the details.
