I am sure that you have heard that Disney is doing a special thing this year. Give a day get a Disney day! It is for ages 6 and older. If you volunteer for an approved organization then you get one free day at any park at the Magic Kingdom.
We have been planning to go to Florida since September of last year, so I thought this volunteering thing would be a great idea. It would save us $300. That is a chunk of change! Oh and of course volunteering is good too.
Well... the only thing that was available for our 7 and 8 year olds in the Indianapolis area was blanket making for Project Linus . If you have been reading this blog long enough, you know I am NOT a crafty person. I think it is a wonderful organization and they only asked us to make SEW FREE fleece blankets (smart people), but I was less than excited. A friend told me that it only took her 1/2 hour to make one blanket... HA! It took me{us} 2 hours to make one blanket, but I think the final product was cute.
Here are my guys helping! They actually were a huge help and also my parents pitched in when they were visiting. My mom is a crafty gal...
We had to make 2 blankets per person.
Here are our FREE tickets!!!
DISNEY, here we come!
Time to start packing...

That is AWESOME! You will have so so so so so much fun in Disney. I think it will be a long time before the memories start fading for our family. :)
That is awesome!!! :)
Good work :)
Thinking of you guys ... we're going to southern IN to visit Amber's family this weekend and was thinking we need to meet up soon since we're all starting to thaw out (and that you can't come this summer :( ... maybe need to do a meet-in-the-middle thing this spring?
What a great idea. Your blankets look very cute. Good job!
You are a girl after my own heart:) Have a great vacation!!
AWESOME! I am so jealous. The kids are going to go crazy. Just a little suggestions. . . pack your own Disney dresses for the girls to wear because they cost 4 times as much in the park ;)
YEAH!!! You did it and they look fantastic! My personal thanks for helping an awesome organization!Enjoy your time at Disney! You'll get special volunteer pins when you redeem your free tickets at the will call! Be sure to get the "1st visit" pins for the girls too! :)

I love that ! I am not crafty either so i am impressed :) when are you heading this way ??
I love that it was a family project! Have fun in the magic kingdom. Be sure to ask the girls to say Hi to all the princesses for me (I love the princesses!), and tell the boys that I would ride all the roller coasters with them if I were there!!
