Hi MeMom,
Love your latest udpate and all the pics!!!! Thanks for taking us shopping with you!!!!Love the mug you bought, too cute!! And what a great way to use it every day!!! The pics you took of the castle and the family (lol!) you were following came out cute, and yes, Brooklynn could have used some shades!! Can't wait to see/hear more!!!
Hope you're feeling okay!!!
I use it five days a week the way it is now. As a regular mug, I would have only used it in the winter drinking hot chocolate and not very often, at that. I'm not a coffee drinker. Drew might have used it, but he's famous for taking cups/mugs off with him and never returning with them, and I would have had to harm him if he did that with a nice Magic Kingdom Main Street mug. So, for my enjoyment and Drew's safety, the mug is a pencil/pen holder.
You know I am!!! I have already realized that I really like the mug with all the characters on Main Street -- where did you find yours? I think that would make a great addition to my Disney coffee mug collection.
I hope you feel better soon, MeMom!
Jill, I can't wait to see the pictures of Brooklyn's cake!
I believe they had them at Sir Mickey's and The Emporium. Probably other places, too. Hope you find one in October!
I'm anxious to see the cake, too!
OH Oh....I know!!!
I hope you getting to feeling better very soon!!
Your smilies look like some of my students.
I hope I do, too. This has managed to hold on all week.
long lost georgia friend checking in here.
sorry i've been gone. my boss is out on maternity leave and i'm covering for her and it's been CRAZY! i didn't have time to read everything but i did find the updates.
anyway, congrats on the october trip! can't wait to hear all about it.
memom - so glad you went to the doctor about your knee. glad to hear it's nothing really really serious. keep us updated on it!
and miss brooklynn, i'm sooooooooooo sorry i missed your big day! loved the birthday pics....looks like a fun time!
happy belated birthday from me!!!!!!
such cute pictures on the airplane of bella and brooklynn.
and i love bella's big floppy hat. i'm sure it was great for keeping the florida summer sun out of her little eyes....and cute to boot!
so cool that both my favorite disney movies EVER are on the same float now!
this is sooooooooooo cute!!!!!! from now on whenever i'm in court and i see an attorney i don't like i'm going to start saying, "tick tock tick tock" very quietly under my breath.
I know you have been working non-stop lately. I hope you can enjoy your weekend.
Yeah, send the bad people away with your
tick-tock. Then record the faces of the people standing near you who hear you say it!
We haven't had a lot of discussion about the October trip because we've been so busy, but when August changes to September, I bet we'll take on a whole new excitement! August is always such a long month to me.
Those little Princesses are so cute!
Thanks for the shopping trip MeMom! I think I will be on the lookout for the Alice t-shirt in December!
I hope you are feeling much better when you get up in the morning and the doctor tells you that he can have you all fixed up in time for your October trip!
Did Brooklynn give herself a squirt with that misting fan?
I'm always up for some window shopping, as you know!
The fever finally feels under control. The cough is subsiding ever so slowly. It sounds like that gross congested cough, though. I know I am such a pleasure to be around right now.
Brooklynn tried to spray herself, but her fingers aren't strong enough for those big ones yet. Jill said she had a little one for her back at the room.
Great update and pictures! It must be getting hard to find new things to photograph!
Looking forward to the next installment...
Denise
I sometimes think to myself,
"Haven't I taken a picture of this before?"
The answer is probably most always yes.
She's probably thinking will she put down the camera sometime soonAnd yes I plan EVERYTHING right down to our ride order.
I'll have 3 cameras and 3 photographers so expect hopefully over 2000 pictures in my TR. I'm suprised the CMs don't stare at you taking merchandise pictures. I was taking pictures in the store next to magic of disney animation and lil mermaid and the Cm just gave me a 'Why on earth are you taking pictures? Do you work for the other place please stop!' look on her face
Probably!
Love your shopping pictures! They're dangerous though. You had a picture of an Alice in Wonderland cup and saucer on one of your other TRs and I searched all over for it this summer. Looked in all the places I remembered you saying you saw it. No luck. Finally found it at World of Disney on our last day there. There were only about five or six of them left. It was really the only souvenir I wanted so I wasn't leaving without it. It is now sitting happily with all its Alice collectible friends. My mom bought me one doll years ago and it has grown into quite a collection of different things. I'm waiting for a Jim Shore "Alice". All I've seen is the Cheshire Cat, which I might end up getting. Anyway, sorry for going on and on.
I hope you're feeling better and can enjoy Brooklyn's Nemo party this weekend. We're celebrating my oldest daughter's 13th tomorrow night with family. It's a little late but the only time everyone could get together.
Good luck at the doctor tomorrow too.
I'm so glad you found your special souvenir! You've gotta get the Cheshire Cat one. What if it disappears and you spend the rest of your life wishing you had it at your house?!?!?
Happy Birthday to your TEENAGER!
Good luck at the doctor tomorrow. Thanks for the shopping pictures.
I'm secretly wishing it'll be something that is fixable quickly and without surgery.
Glad you enjoyed the shopping pictures. There are many more to come in this report. I think I took a lot of shopping pictures this trip.
Whew! All caught up. Ladies you are off to a great start!
Ma and Dad are back!
Hope you and the Newbies had a great time, and I look forward to reading all about it when you get started!
Great update! I love it when you post your shopping photos! I think I've already picked out a few things that I want to try to buy on my next trip based on your pics! That Alice t-shirt you posted is SO cute and I absolutely LOVE the mug that you said you and Jill have. I want to get that for sure. I always use my coffee mugs as pen/pencil holders, too, since I don't really drink coffee.
I had to laugh at your comments on the Mickey snow globe, though. Poor Mickey! You really do dislike snow globes, don't you?
That mug is great because it has a zillion characters on it!
Yes, I really dislike snowglobes. I was trying to overcome my fear of them by taking pictures and facing the fear head on, but nothing so far. I still dislike them.
Poor MeMom! Feeling poorly and having memory issues... Great score on the magical fast passes! I'm glad Bella got to ride Peter Pan with no wait!
Jill is right, as I have confessed. I thought we went to ride, it was too busy, and then we went back to ride with special tickets we got from Crystal Palce, because, as you will soon see, we got special tickets there, too!
somehow i missed this.
um........no idea.
i LOVE this purse! i've been eyeing it for about 2 years now.
so cool! i'm so glad bella's first ride was such a classic. what great disney mojo. i love it that disney rewards those that show genuine decency because unfortunately it is uncommon in the real world. once when we were getting on space mountain, we stopped right before we got into the queue so ray could finish his frozen coke. the CM saw us and when we passed him he stopped us and gave us a fastpass for 3 people to use for space mountain at ANY time. he said he just wanted to do something nice for us since he didn't have to tell us to throw away our beverage before getting in the queue. he said he gets attitude about that all day long. it was so nice to be rewarded for good behavior!
by the way, i was on facebook earlier tonight and trent was on there and started up a chat with me. he's such a sweet guy!
I thought you might know of someone who would like that shirt. Maybe even in a size bigger for maternity wear?
We figured Bella's first ride would be Dumbo, but Brooklynn wanted to ride Peter Pan, and it was indoors and cool, so that worked for us!
It's nice to get rewarded for good behavior, especially in Disney World!
Trent is an awesome guy. He's fun to be around - a great sense of humor, a gentle heart, good at everything he attempts, easy to talk to, and would do anything for you. (Except when he's tired. Save your requests for when he's rested.
)
Ugh, they should know this bothers people like me and you! Don't forget our plan to get together and SAVE them!
You make me laugh with those short sentences...It did....Duh...It's alright for checking! You never know, a miracle could've happened the second you were there and the line just magically opened up for you, MeMom and Jill.
Yep, us and our Mickey hammers - we will free all the little people in the snowglobes someday!
See, I ended up being wrong about Peter Pan after all.
I am kicking myself for not buying something for my pencils/pens! That mug would have been great!
Next time - on your DVC trip!
Awww, that's great that you got a special Fastpass!
That mug that you guys ended up getting is really cute. I use my refillable mug from our 2008 trip to hold all my Sharpies on my desk. I'm going to be on the lookout for that one when we go.
Disney mugs all over America are keeping the magic alive!
.
Great score on the magical fast passes! I'm glad Bella got to ride Peter Pan with no wait!
