First: You're welcome! I think it is a little big though.
Great pic!!
And yeah, no Walmart. It was a BIG deal when they put a KMart in the city. There is supposedly a Walmart about 45 miles from here north, another 30ish miles west (maybe more??), and a few relatively close miles wise (BUT a rough drive) in Brooklyn. My parents used to live 20 minutes from Walmart, so I HAVE been to one, but it's been a few years. No JoAnn here anymore, either.
We DO have a Target just up at the Mall, though. 20 minutes and a bridge away.
NOW:
Chapter 28. Monday, February 4th. Day 5. Part 6. Adventures in Babysitting and Adults Only Dining.
It was time for dinner at Le Cellier, only I'm not going. That's right folks; Uncle Jordy's on babysitting detail!
I do this in part to "pay back" Wendy and Derek for inviting me on vacation. I also do it because I'm nice and actually like hanging with the kids.
So Josh and Robo bring Baby J up and everyone is off.......
<CUE FORBODING MUSIC....>
Seriously, though, it's REALLY cool of you to do this. I have such a problem finding people to watch my kids....that's another reason I love WDW....Kids clubs!
Derek says go ahead and order room service so I order a Club Sandwich and Buffalo Strips. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM....It arrived fresh and hot...Oops can't eat quite yet...gotta feed the kids
I made the kids a frozen pizza (hey, it was the best I could do) and got some grapes out for them. Baby J and Erin had no problem eating their dinner. I had some issues w/ Dylan. Here he is sitting until he eats his food...
He's thinking: "
I want the buffalo strips!!"
I was finishing my now cold food. Maybe my brian was jello because I could've just used the microwave to
reheat my food.
Yeah, I just got that brilliant idea 5 minutes ago....I'm a little slow.
Welcome to the normal meal routine of a mom. Ever seen that scene in "A Christmas Story", where Ralphie says his mom never had a warm meal for 18 (or something) years?? SOOOOO true.
As Dylan and Erin were having their brains turned to jello watching TV, I began to wonder how dinner at Le Cellier was going...............
Cue dream sequence music..... do your best Wayne's World with the fingers......
Deedle doo deedle doo deedle doo... .
[Smiles, smiles everywhere at the entrance:
More smiles....(they wouldn't be smiling if they knew the kids were playing with knives)
Drinks, drinks, drinks....oh....and a little tongue:
They came back around 10:15pm.
They came BACK!?! (joke).
Looks like they had a nice night! Were you asleep when they returned? Any blackmail pics??
I took off and had a drink or two or three at ESPN. There was a mortgage conference (cue funeral music) at the Swan/Dolphin and there were 3 guys at the end of the bar drinking away the pain (they were actually pretty happy). They were getting ready to leave and were doing shots. Of course, I must have some light flashing above my head saying "This guy can drink. Buy him a drink." They buy me a tequila shot...and we all do them. They were more like double shots.......
Maybe they worked for Bear Stearns and new the end was near.....
(I'm allowed to make that joke, DH works for bear stearns)
I walked out onto the Boardwalk. I sat on a bench and enjoyed the view....The water was so still.
Walked (read: stumbled) then sat (read: collapsed) enjoyed view (read: stared at the pink elephants ice skating on the stil water until I could trust myself to make it back to the room)
Tomorrow: Animal Kingdom. Peeps and someone gets busted.
OOHHH! Busted!! Was it Kim for trying to pose with the peeps?? Or did you try to sneak a too-short kid onto a ride??? OOOOHHH! (for full effect, this must be said with the tone of an elementary schooler with the proper "you're gonna get in trouble!" gleeful tone and cadence)
I want that steak filet!!!!
The pictures of Dylan "eating" dinner are hillarious! 
...those chaps in the bar must have recognised that you had been babysitting 
and knew instinctively that 
was the only atidote
Other than that I say away.....I stay FAR, FAR AWAY.
