A Hop, NO Skip, and Many Mishaps to a Disney Dream!

[Daddy_of_Princesses]

Darn, I was all set to give you grief over your "crappy" excuse for not posting updates, but I saw you added two.

Hope Claire is feeling better.

All caught up!!!
1. Yes, Cheesecake factory is AMAZING. We do have 2 here in town. And the Reese's one you had is by far the greatest thing I have EVER tasted. Tied with Le Cellier Mushroom Risotto! If you have a Costco or Sam's membership, sometimes they have some in their freezer section. Now that I think about it, I believe I have seen them at Target on occasion too. The Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake they make is also amazing.
2. Epcot! Yay!
3. Oh goodness, this forgetfulness is starting to concern me!

I loved the silly face you made on Spaceship Earth. It makes the scenes so much more fun when you make a silly face. I can't believe how much Claire has grown since that first picture in front of The Seas. Our babies are growing up way too fast.

I told Dad to make one too, but he made just a regular mad looking face.
I can't beleive how much she has grown!

Making silly faces on Spaceship Earth is what it's all about, isn't it? Mark is always making silly faces on SE.

My has Claire grown over the years...I love the look back at the years, Jen.

I usually look dumb anyways, why not try to do it on purpose!

She is really growing and her hair is so different now.

I'm glad Claire is on the mend - what a rough week though! I think I'd be trying find immodium after this many days too.

I have to ride Spaceship Earth this trip - I haven't ridden in since 2005. 2007 was refurbishment and we just didn't get to it in 2009. Is it obvious when they take your picture if you haven't ridden it before?

I hope she is on the mend. She hasn't gone much today,so thats a plus!
I never got to it this past trip. The picture is right at the beginning and you'll see the flash.

what...no 2010? LOVE the pink hair from '09...know you're cringing!!

Cept for the phone thing, not a bad day so far...

I wish we went in 2010...that was the year of bad hips! I guess I made up for it by going twice this year though.
Claire was watching me post and she got all excited with the pink hair pictures .

Why didn't you hand the phone to Claire? She could have figured it out in 15 seconds lol. Juuuuust kidding! I am in shock you forgot your Bruce photo! I guess you will just have to go back! Such a great update! Sounds like you did a lot in a very small amount of time!

She probably could have. She is a smart cookie with those games and electronics. I forfot a lot of stuff that trip, so it shouldn't shock you at all!

What great shots over the year in that same spot. I love the one in 2008. She doesn't look particularly happy. Too cute.

That was the year of nasty faces. For some reason she didn't want us to take her picture and would put her hand over her face or just make mean faces.

This is one of the classics

and a few more grumpy ones.

She does seem to be doing better today, I just might send her back to school tomorrow.

I don't have a membership to either, but I think my Mom does to both, or at least Sams, so I should tag along with her.
And we don't have a grocery in our Target...we have really crappy Targets here. I actually kind of boycot them now. Only because I usually waste my time going because 99% of the time they either have stopped carrying something I use or they are always out of stock, so I just have to go to another store anyways. I usually only go when I am riding along with Mom somewhere or on a day like yesterday...when I needed to pick up more toilet paper (can't imagine why? ) so it was on the way and we stopped off and got it there.
I am now so hungry...better go get lunch...but I suppose dessert isn't probably very healthy!

This one literally made me chuckle. Just too cute.

So jealous that you had a Tronorail sighting. I looked for it the entire time on our Jan trip. Thanks for sharing the pic...

 

[Beth D]

Wow! I miss a few days and you've got 5 more pages!

Cheesecake Factory - YUMMO! You may have to go to Detroit though.

Love the Claire pics from the years! She's grown so much!

I especially love the grumpy ones! They make for smiles when she grows up!

 

[JKSWonder]

That is one angry princess. And, yet, it works because she is still adorable in those photos no matter what face she is making!

It is funny. She just did NOT want the pictures.

I'm trying to keep at it so I can get to the next one. I have a lot of housework to catch up on too, so I wil lfeel better doing more once I get this one finished. Then I can slow down again. LOL

We laugh at them all the time. She loves to look at them.

Wow - we really do go way back - because I remember all those pictures like that trip was yesterday

This one reminds me of how stubborn Tinker Bell is. She looks like she is imitating Tink on purpose.

so true! adorable though!

Love all the grumpy faces!! they are just precious!!!

Glad to hear that Claire is on the mend.. a tummy bug is no fun!!!

I know. It's been a few years! We always look back at these and laugh.

She can be very stubborn, but when I added the Tink to it, it just became so much more funnier. I actually had it printed as my free photo...back when they did that... and the guy at the photoplace took it around to other CM's to show it because he thought it was so funny too.

She is on the mend. I just took her to school, but I think I may now have a touch of it. I knew it would happen!

 

[bubba's mom]

I love those faces! Priceless!!

Hope she's feelin better today...busy weekend


eta: well....glad she's feelin better....sorry to hear she may have given it to you! Hope Dad isn't next!

OH NO!! that's not good! Hope you don't get it!!

 

[RinkyTinkyTinky]

I remember all those grumpy faces too! It's hard to believe that all of us have been around the DIS for so long.

Seeing those pictures made me realize that I need to lighten up sometimes. I would have been irritated with my DD if she wouldn't have cooperated for the pictures, but look at the cute memories you have now from that. Sometimes I am just too type A and want everything to be perfect, but those pictures are PERFECT just like they are! Another day, another lesson learned!

I think I'd have to frame that sour face puckering one! Too cute!

I'm feeling kind of blah right now, but I just woke up from a nap. I do hope I am feeling better soon as we are supposed to go away later on today.
I go pick her up in about 10 minutes, so we'll see how she did.

OH NO!! that's not good! Hope you don't get it!!

I hope I don't. I took imodium right away! LOL! I feel more sluggish than anything right now. I got too much going on to feel this way.

A lot of the photographers would try to get her to smile or look, and I told them to just take the pictures and I didn't care. At least we would have pictures, even if she was being a little devil in them. I am glad she now smiles...usually, but I still love these pictures because it's just so funny to look back and tease her. We had a good time that trip, and there are pictures she smiled in, but these ones where she was so stubborn are the ones we remember the most.

I had hoped to have another update today, but it was such a busy morning and then I took a nap since I felt blah, and I just finished up cleaning up the kitchen and doing some laundry. We are leaving in an hour for the evening, so I need to get both Claire and I ready. I will aim for tomorrow. I have it 1/3 of the way started, so once I get my pictures edited and uploaded, I can post the next bit more. Why does life keep trying to slow me down with this?

 

[stephielela]

I hope you feel better!
