Getting Ready For Our 1st Family Vacation
Zoe’s word of the day: “grobur” (Grover)
So I think all we have to do is pack. I would say the only thing we need is to buy snacks but other than that I think we’re set. When I first found out we were flying out somewhere I started searching for things to keep Zoe busy while we were on the plane. I think I’m pretty much done. And the second thing I searched for were things to keep her busy in the water/beach. I think I’m set there too now. 9 days and still counting.Zoe’s Carry-On:

:: 08.23.09 :: The arrival of the Hello Kitty floatie
Oh Lordie. So we had just gotten home from MA when I noticed that the package had arrived in the mail. I opened it. She saw it. I blew it up for her. She hugged it, and climbed in, and climbed out, and was talking to Hello Kitty like they were the bestest of friends. Then I tried to take her upstairs without it and she had a melt down. TOTALLY MY FAULT. I shouldn’t have let her play with it right before bedtime. So, I had to carry the damn thing up and place it on our bed with her in it. Then we took it away from her so she could sleep and boy did she HATE me.

Have a great weekend people. Anyone into True Blood? I cannot wait for Sunday!

@ishmejenn - yeah but it all depends on what i’m looking for.
alot of the doodle stuff and notebooks i bought in the dollar section at target recently. the floatie i won on ebay. i got the beach ball at a sanrio type store. the shovel and pail her grandmother gave to her. the tent at target. the towel on ebay. the little hello kitty and friends board books on ebay. the etch a sketch, ebay. the hello kitty magna doodle at a.c. moore.
wow, you look prepared! love her affection for kitty at the end of the video. no wonder you get her so much HK stuff!
That video is so cute! Look how happy she is with her new toy! Have a great time on your vacation! I don’t know where you’re going, but judging by all the water toys, I’m assuming there’s going to be a beach/pool.
@PetiteMandoo - WOW you sure search high and low for her toys! I’m going to have to check out those places. Thank you!
all that stuff fits in the carry-on?? wow! goldilocks is definitely loving her dvd! love all the hello kitty stuff…i would totally go all hello kitty-ed out if i had a girl, too!
all those hello kitty goodies are a little girls dream come true….i use to adore all things hello kitty when i was little (back in the 80′s hahah) but we were on a tight budget. Zoe is very lucky, her mom is so cool! Have a fun and safe vacation, I know you will take awesome photos where ever yall go. thanks for all that eye candy goodness.
omg, how cuuuuuuuute! i am loving all her hello kitty stuff! she’s so cute watching her DVD!
I think I need you to pack for me when I go to HK later this year. You are so prepared for the trip. Look at all her Hello Kitty Stuff!! You always know how to pick out such cute things.
i’m all hello kittyed out. love the dollar spot! you guys are going to have so much fun!
wow, Zoe’s going to be entertained on the plane going there and back! You found a lot of neat and cute things! You’re good. All that I take are a few princess dolls, snacks and our dvd player when we travel. have fun!

omg that flintstone video is tooo cute. zoe is definitely prepared
@schemeroh - 4 hours. so i’m gonna divide the goodies, some for the ight back.
zoe leads such a charmed life! she definitely will not be bored on the plane or on the beach.
how do you get a title to show up at the beginning of the video? do you have to use an editing program? yabba dabba doo!
@tubecozy - i use picasa.
zoe can seriuosly open up a hello kitty shop. the girl’s got so many hello kitty stuff… sooo cute! the only other person i know who has more HK things than zoe is a girl i know who used to work (for years) at sanrio and got a lot of their stuff at big discounts. the video was so cute. i can tell she really truly loves that HK floatie. haha. the pics of her watching her dvds are cute too, esp #3.
she does love her some helly kitty doesn’t she?
goldilocks is too cute!
All of that stuff can fit into one kiddie carry on bag?! Damn woman you’re good! lol
omg you crack me up…all that stuff is good for a 10+ hour plane ride..hahaha.. hey is Z on whole milk? i was going to say, get some Shelf Stable milk in case the milk doesn’t taste the same down there. We did that last time when we flew down to Mexico…
she LOVES that floatie, huh?
@aegie - yah! are you coming over tomorrow or what?
OMG…can I be Zoe? She is so lucky to have you as her mommy! Now I feel like a bad mommy to Matthew. Matthew’s airplane stash is lame compared to Zoe’s. He’s lucky I brought 3 or 4 things for him on our long flight overseas.
@PetiteMandoo - I gotta run some errands and get my hair done …. plus its dave kwon’s birthday so we have a dinner at night .. how about Sunday after church?
You are one organized Mama. I’d be a headless chicken running around if I had to pack for a vacation. I think all Zoe’s missing is her sunglasses and she’s ready to hit the road!
Have a great vacation!!
True Blood is deliciously sinnful. I love it. The books are good too, you should try it.
@aegie - we can’t. we’re going to vaish’s.
@PetiteMandoo - for the BBQ and trublood?
@aegie - yeah we’re you guys invited? are you going?!
@PetiteMandoo - yeah but jin doesn’t know if he wants to go because of football … =P we live right there so we may stop by. I’ll let you know … i miss you and zoe =(
@a_nut07 - i know man. if she EVEN thinks about whining that she’s bored i’m gonna beat her.
what’s shelf stable milk?
@PetiteMandoo - HAHA. shelf stable milk is the stuff you don’t have to refrigerate (prior to opening). they come in a box..like parmalat..you can get organic shelf stable milk from wholefoods.. we lugged 6 boxes of those to mexico last time!
@a_nut07 - was it necessary though? you don’t think the hotel will have regular milk?
@PetiteMandoo - the reason why i took box milk was bc someone had told me that the milk tastes diff in mexico. didn’t want A to freak out with the milk over there since she’s so damn picky. it might not be the same case for DR!
@a_nut07 - oh soona you nutohseben. you just gave me another thing to worry about you biotch. hahaha… ok…i’ll find out. thank you for letting me know about this. did you use parmalat? do you have a brand that you recommend?
how long ago did you buy the Hello Kitty magna doodle? I WANT IT~!

@hudson_umma - it’s actually just a phillips dvd player with hk stickers on it that i put on.

@PetiteMandoo - hehe…i’m going to think of more things for you to worry about..muahaha… the milk i got was from Organic Valley- Wholefoods. oh don’t forget that insect repellent!
