This thread has been so much fun the last few days!!!! I love having new things to read!!!!

BTW - Eliza is FINALLY potty trained (I think)....at least there has been no accidents in 6 days. She has been a tough cookie to crack!!!!

Boy was it cold here today!

I know it is only 12 at home, but it was 44 when we left the MK, slated to go down into the 20's tonight! The feel of the air was 36. It would have been OK if I had brought my winter coat!

Lots more tears today as Kim and family left. We lost V and family the day before. Hopefully we can see Angie and Dennis again, as otherwise we are all alone.

What a historic day too - we are now watching the inauguration events back at our room at BCV.

So....did it ever stick?

Oh yes! Around 12 it started coming down by the dumpster loads. It covered everything within an hour with a couple inches of snow and when the kids left the front yard to go play in the back their footprints were filled in pretty quickly. They went out two times to play and got soaked to the skin each time. We had to force them to come inside and their skin was red from the cold melted snow on them through their clothes...even with two layers of everything! They were so very excited. K did snow angels all over the place. It needs to warm up a bit to make a snowman. We will try tomorrow and hopefully it won't be so dry. That seems to happen here when it does snow but DH will figure out a way to get his princess a snowman. Of course school is closed tomorrow too with this mess on the ground. At least they are only going to have to make up two days since they were already off the rest of the week for the end of the quarter grading.

John, LOVE the video! What a fun way to start my day! Watching them made me smile.

It is not a good sign when you are walking back to your hotel after a great dinner at Le Cellier, and you are seeing your breath in front of your face . . . MAN, is it COLD here!

We had a really nice and relaxing day at EPCOT. Did another Kim Possible mission. Walked around a lot, and let Sophia do the mask at all the Kidcot stations. Amy had some spiced warm wine in Germany, and I had my Rose Regale.

It is hard though seeing all the upset people because it is so cold, which makes them even more stressed with their kids. Happiest place on Earth - not for some.

I am literally shivering thinking about it....burr....

We had a few really cold days there in Jan. one year. I am sure you are still having fun!

I had Shoofly Pie at dinner and I am still not really sure what it was. It was pretty good tasting though.

John...I saw that today when I checked the weather. I don't envy you this week. It looks like the temps will be warming up next week.

So you like the Banfi too? I discovered that on the repo. YUMMY!!! There is a bottle in the fridge now.

K got to build her first snowmen today with Mike. Both kids were outside around 4 hours in total today playing with their friends and went through two sets of clothes.

We are having a wonderful time. Just missing friends that had to leave. Doing some laundry now for tomorrow. A bit warmer tomorrow, and better on Friday.

I am doing a last load of laundry this morning before check out time. We ran into Amy watching Off Kilter last night. Got a couple more hugs from the Halkias gang. Dinner at Les Chefs was yummy as always. We spent the evening darting into shops at Epcot to warm up! We had fun in Morocco, the shop keeper put belly dancing scarf on me and my cousin, Katie, and we danced while Dennis and the shopkeeper played the drum and tamborine. It wasn't a pretty sight, but it worked off some of the calories from dinner and it did warm me up!

Going to Hollywood Studios today if I can ever get my family moving! Then maybe over to DTD, and Boma again for dinner.

that is histerical!!!!!! They are a staple in our community. Our church bakes loads of them for every event. My grandmother (when she was alive) would bake dozens each week to sell at market. Wow....

That sounds like so much fun....

We need pictures!!!! Glad the weather will be getting better for you guys. Has to stink to head to FL to get away from the cold and have it follow you. We had to get out of the house today so we picked up some friends and went to the paint your own pottery place downtown. They love it there and I got to work on my box of bisque.

I never went to a paint your own pottery place, but it sure sounds like fun.

Pictures after we get back. The internet connection here stinks! I can't use my airport express to make the room wireless, and I am darned if I am going to sit here to be on my computer. I called tech support and they told me the issue is the AE - even though I had absolutely NO problem at OKW or SSR.

Did you get to see the video Lisa?
