Getting Ready For Our Big Trip!

Okay, it's probably been about 4 years since we've taken a real vacation and this will be our first one on a plane with both girls (Ainsley went once when she was 6 months so technically this is her first time since she doesn't remember it:)). Where are we going you ask??

Maybe this will give you a clue...

We're going to Disney World!! In just 2 days! I don't feel ready at all but Ainsley has her bag as well as Harper's packed! She cracks me up because she put all their clothes in their little Land's End bags that we take when we go on car trips and she put all their shoes (we have girls so we take several shoes you know:)) in the plastic grocery bag like I always do (that's just how I do it) and was ready to go. I told her we don't take those kind of bags on planes. She said "then what do we use mommy?" I told her a suitcase and her eyes got real big, she's so excited to use a suitcase like daddy does when he goes on business trips-LOL. My children don't get out much I guess.

Anyways, here's some of the things we'll be taking with us for our trip...

First up are these shoes! I don't know if Crocs are dorky for women but I recently got these while getting the girls some and they are so cute and comfortable {at least I think they are}! They are navy blue with red and I love the nautical look right now. So I'll be taking these along with my running shoes of course for all the walking we'll be doing.

I got them at Dick's Sporting Goods and they have really cute, new styles for girls and boys.

Next up are outfits for the kids! I figure this may be the last year I can get them all to wear coordinating things because we probably won't be going back until Bennett is older. Now, you'll notice the little onesie for Bennett, well, we were planning on taking him but my parents offered to watch him for the week so I will miss him TERRIBLY but I think since he's a baby it may be best with the heat and the fact that he won't remember it and I think it will be nice to have some one on one time with our girls. So I'm making my mom promise to take pictures of Bennett in his outfits while we're gone-get that mom?;) Oh and I'll probably call at least 3 times a day to check on him-I've never left him over night and a week is a long time!!!

Here's more. This was Ainsley idea to hang them on the fence by the flowers-I'm always taking pictures of my clothes I sell for Lil' Sis Designs and she's catching on to how they should be displayed- so cute. I don't offer these on my etsy site but if you have a trip planned for Disney and would like some cute outfits email me at lilsisdesigns@gmail.com!

I wanted something for the girls that was small enough to carry on the plan and put their toys, coloring books, snacks etc. in. I got these at Hobby Lobby and let the girls pick out their fabric for their initial once we got home. We got these before we knew Bennett wouldn't be coming and I realize he can't carry a backpack but Ainsley does not like to leave Bennett out so as soon as she saw the blue one she gave it to me and said "For Bennett". So he's got a little backpack now too:)

I've gotten some really great tips from friends about where to stay, where to eat, what shows to see, what character dinners to do, what to pack, etc. so thanks to you all for all your help!! Any last minute tips from you Disney pros out there would be appreciated though too!
