The latest PTR news:
MNSSHP Costumes:
I went ahead and ordered Ed's pirate costume... I want to have plenty of time if he decides he doesn't like it and we need to find another!

If this works out, all he'll need is a sword. And he might want a hat instead of the bandana. Sheesh!
Also, my original plan was for Billy to use his "blue pirate" costume from last year (blue hat, an ecru shirt and blue vest, worn with a pair of jeans), but I'm having second thoughts. It sounds silly, but the colors of his costume will not match the black-red-white color scheme of the rest of the family's costumes. (Catie
may get the same pirate lass costume Tricia did and just accessorize it differently.)
I had no idea that pirates "accessorized!"
I've already got a black peasant blouse that would work and I'm thinking of the black harem pants... maybe red, but the black would be more flattering. Some kind of vest (red, black, or perhaps purple) will finish my ensemble. Not sure if I want to be bothered with a sword or blunderbuss or any other kind of weaponry. After all, according to Billy I'm the Pirate
Queen... so I have my pirate crew to do my fighting for me!

I do have my heart set on a hat with a big ostrich feather!!
So... I
may break down and get Billy a different costume just so that we all coordinate better. At least I have a back up if I don't find anything I like!
Countdown to Disney Party:
It's definitely on for next Wednesday (and I still need to finalize the menu and shop for the food!) I spoke with DSis Eileen on the phone last night and casually suggested that she and DNiece Catie might want to wear Disney shirts that day... she said they already have their Disney Outfits planned!!!
I have a ton of Disney music that we can play and I plan to order some fun Mickey and Minnie balloons for decoration. Now, all we need is a good weather forecast so we can have it outside!!
