Yep! I am gonna be Sally.
I have the "sassy" version of the dress, which is only a little shorter than the original cause I couldn't find it. It comes a little past my knees, but I have black leggings to wear under it and some little flats. I am probably not wearing that darn wig because I can't keep it on my head.

The inside cap is like a kids size.

I do need to get some pale looking makeup and some black stuff to use for my stitches. But other than that, I'm ready!
Taking the little brother to get his costume this afternoon. He wants to be a green army man, but I'm not sure if our Wal-Mart has it.
Fun! I hope they have the costume for your brother. Don't forget to take some pictures to share

Will do!

39 days left! I hadn't done any planning for the past month and then this week I start re-checking stuff and find out that not only is the Christmas parade taping while we're there, but the Pop Warner kids will be there too. Oy. I'm trying my hardest not to panic. My family is set in their ways about what days they want to go where, regardless of projected crowd levels. *sigh* Sometimes, you just have to go with the flow.

annafab - Just stay away from Main Street, the hub and in front of the castle on the days that they are taping and you will be fine. We went last year and I didn't notice a change in the wait times, just a massive traffic jam on Main Street.
As a side note, my wait for our next trip isn't going to be as long as I was expecting. Next Friday the kids are out of school and it's my middle child's 6th birthday... guess where he wants to go? They are going to EPCOT on Friday. Unfortunately, I will be working. However, as soon as I get finished, I'll be driving down to O-Town to go to the MK with the family on Saturday!

We didn't notice too many problems with the Pop Warner kids, but it was crazy crowded at the food court and the buses were a mess sometimes. Most of the kids were really good and the chaperones were doing a nice job with them. It was fun seeing the kids in the pool and playing on the ping pong tables at midnight when the temperatures were in the 30's ~ ah, the craziness of youth!

Yay! I'm surprised he wants to go to EPCOT ~ does he have a favorite attraction there? Fun little mini vacation for the NaClers ~ yay!

Amy - Not really, I don't think he remembers much about EPCOT. He just wants to go to the "Big Golf Ball." We are in negotiations with Mom to see if she is going to join us as she could definitely use a break... and our trip is SO FAR away...

awfully looooong time

That's almost a month away! OMG!

Might not be a bad thing in order to get her mind off of other things...

Yeah, I'd be lying if I didn't say it played a SMALL role in us moving back here.

Only 50.5 weeks before we get Mouse-ified again! Can you saw SWEET?!

Just thinking about all that's going to happen between now and then is a little overwhelming. My oldest will then be a senior in high school and my baby will be in her last year of middle school. Hmm...

I only have 66 days and I'm off for 8 days! I've heard January is a great time to go.....we are going right after Marathon Weekend and leaving on MLK Day. I know some rides are down, etc, but to be in the parks with fewer people will be great! Can't wait!!!

Only 10 days until we leave for WDW. We will be staying at OKW for 9 days. Can't wait!
Looking forward to warm weather (from MN) and seeing the parks all dressed up for Christmas!
So excited!
