Will be praying for your family the week Mike is gone! God is so AWESOME!! Homeschooling is so fun! We have tons of school supplies up in our stores since school starts mid-August here! I used to never buy "school supplies" but I went last year and it was sooo fun that I'm going to do it with my little guy every year! I hate tickets...they are such a drag! Disney World will be so much fun for your family! I heard a lot of different ways to "tell" the kids. My favorite suggestion was to put together a scavenger hunt with hints of things you will be doing! Can't wait to hear the details come together! Glad your eye is feeling better!

What are your other options? And I love commas. Love 'em! I’m still confused about the whole opening your eyes when you first wake up. What are your other options?

I just think that would be SO much fun to have it be such a surprise! If you want to go with Holly's idea, I have a sister who lives near Orlando that could mail something I'll bet. Despite my love of the surprise, there is something to be said for anticipation and counting down the days that are left!

When we lived in MD, and the kids were little, we took the kids on a surprise trip to Disney World and didn't tell them anything until they saw the signs above the road as we drove in. I couldn't believe they didn't ask us on our TWO day drive! We got video of them as they figured out where we were going. It was so much fun to surprise them and they were SO excited. If you are flying you could blindfold him or somehow distract him until you get to the airport in Orlando. There's plenty of Disney there to surprise him with. We love Disney. You all will have a WONDERFUL time. Where are you staying? I can't wait to hear more about your planning and your trip! Disney… very fun!

Glad your eye is doing better. That's a lot to think about before even opening your eyes. :) Exciting news for Mike and the group of teens! What an experience! Do you know anyone in Florida that could mail Max a letter about the trip, like it's from Mickey? Maybe Disney even offers something like that. Or send it yourselves and kind of *fake* the FLA postmark. I like the movie night Disney DVD too. Sorry I don't have more creative ideas. I haven't had my morning coffee yet. :) Bummer about Wal-Mart not being ready–didn’t they get your memo?
