Be careful MeMom. Have fun at Disney on Ice. We are going on Wednesday to the one in Atlanta. Can't wait to see some more of your pictures. Enjoy your time with the family and please know that I am still praying for Drew. How is he feeling?
We did have fun. I might not have pictures until Jill comes next weekend, though.
Drew is fine, and he is very anxious to get back to work. He can't go back until ortho releases him - hopefully Friday. We won't know anything about his ear until several weeks from now. I thought they said three weeks, but they said six.
HAve fun in HUntsville(DH leaves Sunday for a week there) Nothing this weekend but next weekend is Disney on Ice for us.
Which Disney on Ice are you seeing? This one was better than the one in Nashville, and their souvenirs were better, too. I still didn't see anything that thrilled me enough to spend the money while not in the real Disney World, though. Jill got a Peter Pan and Captain Hook banner, a Flounder hat w/popcorn, and a Disney on Ice lemonade cup for Brooklynn.
Have a great time with your Girls !!! It will be so fun to re-live thier trip together. Look at the pics of the trip.
Disney on Ice should be a nice treat after the week you had.
Be safe and enjoy the weekend.
Hope you get some really neat gifts.
I got a nice Halloween bag, some Halloween pens, and a Halloween popcorn bucket I had requested. I'll use the bucket and the bag, most likely, when we do Trunk-or-Treat with the church kids this Saturday.
i remember those groups. is it common to have reading groups broken down like that?
MeMom u asked me if i ever went to Ft. Wilderness? The answer is yes. Not to visit but to work, i was deployed for about 2 weeks there due to "casting" needs. I enjoyed working there even though i wouldnt admit it then. I hated getting deployed, i'd rather be at my home resort where im comfortable at.
oooh, i love disney chocolate chip cookies, they are so yummy
i did notice, guessing some chocolate ended up on her shirt?
It is very common in this area to do small groups at the kids' levels, and it is fine to do that in a general way. The tests they have to go through, though, are ridiculous. You'd really just have to see it done to believe it.
Any Disney cookie I've ever had has been better than most I've ever had here in the outside world!
Other than being 'deployed', was Pop Century the only resort you really worked at?
Have fun at Disney on Ice! Be careful driving down. Enjoy your time with Brooklynn!
We had a good time. Brooklynn is fun to be around. We colored together and sang songs. She has a memory like you wouldn't believe. If you tell her something once, she doesn't forget it.
well, i have plans, but they're not exactly relaxing. the vandy/georgia game starts in 1 hour and 15 minutes. i will NOT be relaxed!!!!! but it'll be fun!
have fun in alabama and be careful! we're going to disney on ice next sunday. i'm excited - i think it'll give me just the dose of disney i need before our december trip!
tell jill, brooklynn and john we said hello!
I think you'll enjoy Disney on Ice. I think Luke will like it. It's good for those in between trip times.
Yep. Throw Caribbean Beach in there and that is pretty much right on the money.
Ahhh, Zawadi, my weak point, and my favorite resort gift shop in all the World.
If you really want to add to my turmoil, come back with some photos from the Mara -- I never see photos from the food court.
I wish -- we were supposed to go see all the scarecrows at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens, but my parents want to postpone it. So, I guess we are hanging out here and cleaning, doing laundry, and making magic cookie bars.
Hope you have a GREAT time in Bama, and I am looking forward to seeing your goodies from Disney.
Caribbean Beach was pretty, too, when I was there in July. You're just going to have to stay at all of them on many future trips.
Zawadi is an awesome gift shop, and I will bring back Mara pictures. We're going over to AKL to take pictures of the Christmas tree. I'm hoping some of the resorts will have trees up before Thursday/Friday, or we're not going to be able to see them all. If we can get to some of them on Tuesday and Wednesday, that would be nice. Last year, Pop Century had theirs up when we got there about the 17th, but POFQ and POR didn't, so I guess it varies from resort to resort.
Do you used pecans in your magic cookie bars? If so, you can make sure my bar, the one I
know you were planning to send me, has extra nuts!
I miss reading for a couple of days and I miss the Memom pictures.
Evidently I skipped some pages. I missed this part, but caught the part at Fort Wilderness, but now I'm caught up again. Hope you have a great weekend.

Yep, the scarred one didn't stay up there long. I hate pictures of myself!
I hope your weekend has been nice, too.
We had a fun day today...the girls and i decorated for Halloween then my DH called!!
We got to webchat with him for about 20 minutes before he had to get some sleep. Then he emailed us some pics of Baghdad. Pretty good day!
That does sound like a nice day! Do you happen to watch Little People, Big World? On Monday night, they showed Matt Roloff trying to get into Baghdad to check on a family with three dwarf children. It was interesting.
Hope that you had a great time with your girls and John. Which Disney on Ice this time? We saw the Worlds Of Fantasy one that you saw a few weeks ago... I must admit that the princess one was much better in my opinion but Hannah sure loved the Tink part. She is gearing up for the movie I guess.
Today we took three kids to the pumpkin patch. I just need another arm.... I hope someday I adjust to three. Scares me to think of going to WDW with them someday!
Have a great week at school!
This time it was Magical Journeys, and it was better than the one we saw here since we knew all the characters. We don't know so much about the Tinkerbell Fairies, and that was a long part of the other one. This time we saw Lion King and Little Mermaid again, but the shows were different, and then Lilo and Stitch, and Peter Pan. Peter Pan was that part after intermission. Two of Brooklynn's favorites are PanPan and Awull, so it was fun to watch her face as she took it all in. When the announcer came over the speaker and said, "Ladies and gentleman..." she flew up into her seat! He was only giving the five minute warning so you could find your seat before the lights went down, but Brooklynn found hers in a millisecond!
You'll do fine with three! I raised three alone, and it was wonderful, as draining as it sometimes was. We had as much fun as anyone could have on the budget we were on. We made little things fun. I was lucky that my kids were all good when they were little and didn't give me problems (very little bickering, etc.), and I know yours will be the same.
Now when they're teenagers, that's another story. They can get the attitudes, then, but thankfully, they do come out on the other side of it eventually.
******************
I have much schoolwork to do tonight. I have put it off all weekend, and I can't deny it any longer. I cleaned house and did a little shopping for next weekend, and now I am Dising, but I have to make myself go do this work or I will be sorry tomorrow.
I would much prefer you just ride along with us in the car. 
I should probably add it to my souvenir shopping list...
