4 More Days!!!

Wow! This week, I am like a kid at Christmas time. Im so excited, I cant even focus half the time! I feel totally like a big kid. I cant believe in just 4 days we will be on our road trip to Disney World! Im so anxious and excited at the same time! Anxious because of the 16 hour drive we will have with kids. I know in the end it will all be worth it, though! This week is all about last minute preparation. Making sure all of my To Buy list is checked off, the van is maintained and ready and getting our suitcases out of their usual storage spot. I recently finally replaced my glasses, so tomorrow morning, I must go renew my expired license. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Stephen works. I will be spending that time doing some cleaning around here, washing all things that must go on the trip with us and just prepping it all. Friday, a friend has graciously invited my 2 littles over to play so that I can buckle down and do all of our packing. We have to have everything packed and ready to go Friday night. Saturday, we will be attending our playgroup's Easter party. It was the only convenient time for all in the group, so we will have all of our packing done in order to attend. I'm actually happy to do this before we head our of town. That means we can hang out a while, let the kids play and eat. Then at the end of the day, we can load up and start our trip. They will be worn out and ready to sleep! Woohoo! It's all falling perfect! I have a box packed currently with all their car activities. I do need to make them some magnets for their small baking pans I bought for them. They each have trays that attach safely to their seats. They can eat on them or play on them without stuff just falling on the floor, requiring us to have to constantly pick it all up. I bought 2 small baking pans at the dollar store. I went in search of magnets to play on them. Surprisingly, they are kind of hard to come by! So I bought some little fun things to manipulate and look at. I also bought magnet dots, and am gonna make my own! Right before we leave town on Saturday, we will load our cooler and van with snacks and drinks. Everything seems to be planned and ready. I honestly feel like getting our 2 young kids through this drive is causing more stress than anything else on the trip. Once we make it there, it will be smooth sailing for me. I can handle them great when they dont have to stay confined safely. So wish us luck!
