So glad you have you're power back! David's presentation and outfit looked great. Our girls both did a similar thing with a wide range of historical figures in 5th grade. such a cool way to get kids involved in the nation's history.
We're at the 3 week mark!!!!! Can you smell Disney yet?

19 Days till Our Trip... woo hoot...
Day 4- This is the most uncertain day since there are Fantasyland ???s Sun, December 2nd – Magic Kingdom Day (new Fantasy Land officially opens on the 6th... based on previews...please be open...  ) -Breakfast at Kona Cafe get there early enough to check out the Polynesian's holiday decorations... - Monorail to MK - Be a rope drop (hopefully) - Head to Fantasyland I am really hoping that it will be in soft previews... - Enchanted Tales with Belle - Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid - Dumbo NextGen Queue Tent/Dual Dumbo Spinners - if there are problems ...Peter Pan, Pooh, Teacups, IASW...) - Fantasyland Station – ride train to Frontierland Station - Splash Mountain - Big Thunder Mountain Railroad -Haunted Mansion -a couple of times - Pirates of the Caribbean - Lunch...Head to Be our Guest CS/Gaston's-which opens on 11/18 so we can do counter service & get photos - Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin - Space Mountain (Head over to check out Holiday Decorations on Monorail Hotel Loop...Contemporary and GF) - Dinner at Yachtsman... - Downtown Disney-Shopping... In continuing our trip countdown... Our 6th film in the series of 8 featuring Disney Trios... This week's film is Pinocchio  and the trio is Pinocchio, Figaro and Cleo...  They were all Gepetto's charges, his "children" if you will... (Ok this trio is a little loose... I was also considering Bambi, Thumper and Flower... but Pinocchio won) This movie is so lovely... the animation is gorgeous, it features, the Blue Fairy and Jiminy Cricket and the song "When You Wish Upon a Star"... Since Pinocchio is an Italian character, I made pasta for dinner (sadly no photo), we had a little pre dinner limoncello and I got tiramisu from Trader Joe's and it was pretty good...not homemade good but good nonetheless..(I like a stronger coffee taste-this was very mild)  ...  We learned a little Italian (Italian is such a pretty melodic language...)  In addition to being a great Disney classic, Pinocchio was written in Florence by Carlo Collodi in 1883. Which is a great sequeway into some exciting news for us... During Spring Break in March, we're going to be going to Italy... 4 days in Florence and 5 days in Rome. (Eric and I went to Italy once before years ago... to Venice and Florence.) This trip is a big part of our holiday gifts and We're planning on renting apartments since they're very family friendly and we need to watch our food budget but... I am extremely excited..., the Sistine Chapel, the Colisseum, pasta, pizza, gelato and cappuccino... the Leaning Tower of Pisa (yes it is touristy but I really want to see it), the green hills of Tuscany... Next year is going to be a great travel year... with the Spring trip and the Summer Road Trip... and we'll all be together... until Ems goes to college next Fall...

Woo Hoo for 19 days!
 Even more so - double woo hoo for Italy over Spring Break. So jealous! I love your plans and I can't wait to see what you thing of Be Our Guest CS and Yachtsman. I am actually thinking of doing both of those this summer. Yachtsman is the only signature I haven't eaten at. Not sure whether to do it in June or wait for October. Is Em good about doing all her applications or do you have to give her reminders? Right before the Maryland application was due I warned Nick that if the power went out and it wasn't done I was disowning him. I also just learned that Nick's verbal SAT was 10 points too low for being exempt from English 101 at Maryland.  Of course, he could care less.Lemoncello. Yum. Did I spell that right?  Love that you are still doing the movie nights. So cool.

Ahhhh...9 days in Italy. Florence and Rome.
Sigh. How lovely! It won't be terribly warm then but you won't have crowds either which will be magical. Jeff and I had our belated honeymoon there in early April of 06. Dying to go back. We had Pizza, at Pisa. Just cuz it's fun to say! Love the Pinocchio/Italy update!

"The school that must not be named" I love that! Nick has a reach school like that which I have only revealed to a few DISers, but none of my local friends
You are so lucky to have a girl, hence far less reminders and nail biting than with a boy! I will be so glad when every single one of those apps are done. Right now I am always on edge. The rest need to be done by the end of the month.

Hey there Patricia!
I just spent the better part of an hour getting all caught up~ So sorry you spent all of that time with no power. I can't imagine. I go nuts after a half an hour... I've had students on the spectrum before and they always seem to have such great insight. There was one boy in particular, every time his hand came up I couldn't call on him fast enough. He was such a deep thinker. Also had a very sweet, kind nature. We have his sister now, while she is quite bright, she's a bit of a stinker.... Did David choose Eisenhower? He was president when I was born and he also lived in Kansas. I love this quote from him... Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. Dwight D. Eisenhower Cheers for your Italy trip. I would be so excited to be heading over to visit the real thing. For me, it's only been the pavilion in WS. You do have lots of excitement coming your way next year.
