Aw those "Trunk or Treat" pictures were great! I love the Mickey & Goofy.
Little Miss Tinkerbell is pretty cute herself.
That Trunk or Treat thing is a great idea for the little ones. Glad they seemed to have so much fun. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Ahhh, all the little ones are so cute in their Halloween costumes!
Your set-up was fabulous -- love the Mickey flag!
Thanks all! We had a good time, and all of the kiddies were sweet. Parker wasn't at all sure about that big Goofy head, though. He kept looking up at it. Sloan said he was hilarious in the car seat, because his costume was so round, it made him stick out and he couldn't lay his head back!
Hi MeMom & Brooklynn'sMom. I discovered your trippies this past week and have spent much time reading them. I read this one first then went back to read the original. I'm not quite finished with it yet.
I wanted to say you have one beautiful granddaughter...
I saw something in one post that made me think you were born in Oklahoma? Did I understand that right? Funny thing is my kids & I want to move to SE Tennessee from Oklahoma.
Anyway your pictures really do a great job of making me feel like I am right there at WDW. Thank you for that.
I was an Air Force brat, and we were in OK at the time, so yep, I'm an Okie.
I'm glad you're enjoying the report.
The hayride warning is always a good one. We've had some of the same tragedies around here, and it's always so sad when what was meant to be a good time goes so wrong.
Aww, the kiddos looked adorable in their costumes!
The decorate your own cookie station was a great idea. I bet the kids just loved that!
They loved the cookie decorating. Some were meticulous about the placement of their sprinkles and candy corn, etc., and others piled on as many M&M's and gummy worms as they could possibly get to stay!
Aww...Brooklynn looks so cute as Tink! Looks like you had a great time at Trunk and Treat! We go on Friday...I can't wait! (I'm as excited as the kids!)
Have fun, and come back and share a picture, if you will.
All the kids are SO cute in their costumes...especially Brooklynn!
It was such a great idea to do the decorate your own cookie. Sounds delicious!
What a fun way to celebrate Halloween!
It was fun, and one day you'll be wrapping up your little one to go out into the Chicago cold and trick-or-treat. It's fun to watch them watch the other kids, too, because they're wondering why in the world the people they usually see looking normal are so abnormally dressed and strange looking!
Aww! Brooklyn is cute (and so big, what a difference from her Alice pictures a year ago)
That's for sure! Last year she had a little sprig or two of brown hair, and now it is long and blonde. Trent's hair was exactly like hers is now until he was a pretty big boy. She is also accident prone like Trent, so Jill is fearful for what her future holds.
Such cute pictures! All the kids look adorable.
We were all reminiscing about when all of ours were that age, too. I may have to go and break out the box of pictures and remind them of how cute they were!
Looks like the kids had a great time. Our church does trunk or treat too.
I hope you are going to go...and bring back a picture for us!
MeMom,
Your trunk looked great. We are having our Trunk-or-Treat/Hayride at church this Friday. I can't wait to see all the little ones. Now I know why my Mama used to get so excited when we were little. To see the look on the little ones faces and to have those memories are priceless. When we were at Disney on Ice the other night, there was a little girl sitting beside me. When Tinkerbell realized what kind of fairy she was( I don't want to give too much away for those who will be seeing it) the little girl whispered with amazement," Wow, it's magic." The tears just started rolling down my face. She made it easier for me to sit through that part of the show.
Oh yeah, we definitely had more fun than the kids did!
I'm glad you got to Disney on Ice. That's very sweet about the little girl! I just love little kids and the sweet things they say!
That trunk-or-treat event is SUCH a good idea, and your trunk was great.
I love the picture of Brooklynn and Carson eyeing the goodies! All the kids look adorable.
Also love Brooklynn's Tinkerbell costume; I think that's the kind of thing I would have gone for when I was young.
I was Minnie Mouse one year (I might have been five), complete with the cheap plastic mask. Looking back, it was kind of strange looking, but I really liked it.
Picture, please?????
Woo Hoo! I finally finished reading both reports. Thank you for all the wonderful pictures. I really felt like I was right there in WDW.
One thing I wanted to mention is that you can get food to go at Pepper Market and you don't have to pay that 10% fee. Just in case you ever want to go back to CSR to eat even though that cm was so terribly mean to Jill.
I can't wait to read about you next adventure and see how much more Brooklynn has grown. What a beautiful little girl!
I forgave CSR enough to go back and take pictures around the grounds this summer. Jill was a bit less forgiving.
Maybe next summer.
Naah, not really. She knows it was just one not so tactful CM. She kids about being 'traumatized', but she'll go back again someday.
I didn't know you didn't have to pay the extra if you got it to go. That's interesting.
I love all the trunk or treat photos. The little ones look adorable in their costumes. We get lots of trick or treaters in our neighborhood, and I love seeing their costumes!
Brooklynn looks so cute as tinkerbelle!
What a great expression when she is "eyeing the goodies"
The cookie decorating is a great idea.
Our elementary school has a fall festival, and one of the activities is to decorate graham crackers. Its always a big hit.
Peter Pan on Ice sounds great. I wish it were coming here.
The next one to our area is in Dec 26-30. Its called 100 Years of Magic.
Tickets haven't gone on sale yet. And I'm not sure what our holiday plans are.
I'm hoping maybe we can go to it.
I want to see 100 Years of Magic, but it wasn't coming near us. That would be a fun Christmas vacation activity for the family!
Awww, I love the dinosaur pictures!!!!!!!! So cute of you MeMom even though your covering your face!!
I was glad it was fuzzy. You should see the close-up. You can't really tell in the distance, but the bangs are sticking straight up!
Love all the Trunk or Treat pics!!! SO sweet!!! Your set-up was fabulous---I hope you won some type of prize!!!! Our church had their trunk or treat yesterday, but we had to miss it because we had already planned to go hiking down at Natural Bridge State Park. That was a great deal of fun--nice 2 hour drive down there too--but we always enjoy trunk or treat too.......we will have to make sure we don't miss it next year!
I'm sure the park was beautiful!
No prizes - just lots of fun!
ok...think i got this figured out.
I'll post later to show Caleb at one month. Do not have those pics uploaded yet!
Well, you did a good job! He's a handsome little fella. I look forward to seeing his one month picture. I know he has your heart completely captured! Thank you so much for sharing those sweet pictures with us.
k_reile - Adorable pics of your sweet baby boy!
Thanks for sharing them!
Can't wait to see the one month pics!
Me, too!
k_reile - congratulations! Your baby is adorable! It makes me happy to see him looking so comfortable under the lights. We thought that DD was going to have to do that when she was born and we had never seen the machine and didn't know what to expect. But Caleb looks like he's just chillin'!
He does look like he's taking it all in stride, and he looks like a very healthy little boy, too. I bet his one month pictures will show him happy and alert. Now that she's got the photobucket stuff down, we might get a sweet picture every so often.
******************************************
After Dinosaur, Jill decided we should book it over and catch a late safari before it closed. So, as soon as we got off, she started weaving through people, pushing Brooklynn in the stroller, John right behind her, and me a 'buncha' steps back trying to keep up as much as I could with an already lame leg.
Having no regard for my lame leg, a very skinny two-good-legged Jill kept looking back over her shoulders saying, "Hurry, MeMom, evasive maneuvers, evasive maneuvers!"
I punched my walking into overdrive at some point during the long journey from Dinosaur to Kilimanjaro, and when I did, my knee popped.
I heard it, and I felt it.
I said, "Owwww!"...to myself.
I don't say anything like that out loud.
Somebody might look.
Like they did when I fell at Hollywood Studios.
And I didn't even say 'ow' then.
I hobbled along, keeping Jill in my sight, but telling them to go on to the jeep if I didn't make it in time. I didn't want them to miss out on a safari, and especially a late one, because we've had good luck with those.
We all did make it - the fast girl, the baby, the tag-along-er, and the hobbling lady.
This is what we saw.
Hippo hide-and-seek.
Bird was
it.
I see you!
Savannah view.
Next up, a lion.
Awake and moving.
I enjoyed my first day back at school, although I had a hard time leaving my little ones today!
she was so excited she knew that! 
. I am pretty literate with a computer that is working properly but as soon as it starts acting funny, I am lost! Kiss that good man of yours.
