We're going.......

I have spent the last month planning and prepping for the big trip.  Who knew that planning a trip to Disney would be so involved!!  Okay.....I did but we went ahead and planned one anyway.  Chris and I went the year we got married.  It could have been our honeymoon of sorts as we had a destination wedding with all our family along for the ride for our actual wedding/honeymoon.  What a blast it was, we really enjoyed our trip to Walt Disney World. We swore we would bring our future children when they were old enough.  As luck would have it we conceived our first son on the way back from Disney when an ice storm kept us in Ohio for a few days. 

For a few years now we have been talking about the trip but something always came up, lay offs, renos, weddings in Mexico.  Last month Chris put his foot down (in his ever so gentlemanly way) and said it was time to make the trip.  So here we are 45 days later and the trip is planned, the bags are packed and the only thing that is left to do is tell the boys.  The boys still don't know.   I don't know how I kept it a secret... actually to be honest I had an ingenious strategy..... I kept yelling "surprise" at them randomly to get it off my chest.  They think I am a little off my rocker anyway so it worked out.

I must say I don't know how they haven't figured it out.  Maybe it was a boy thing but they didn't pay me any attention. I have been doing everything pretty much in front of their eyes. And I have been doing a lot of things, from designing custom mickey t shirts to making mickey cookie pops to crafting up some fun fake boarding passes and itineraries.  Yeah, I went way over the top and gave myself too much to do...the joys of being a SAHM.....but it was so much fun!  I put my Silhouette Cameo to some serious work these past few weeks.

Tomorrow is the big reveal when we get to yell surprise for real and let them know "we are going to Disney tomorrow!!!".  When they wake up in the morning  a surprise will be waiting for them.  But I am not going to share how we did it... you can wait to see the video.
