Love the Villain Shop pictures. I never noticed Ursula, I am going to have to find her.
Just go in and look up!
Aww, I love this pic. Brooklynn is such a happy, proud big sis!
Sounds like the yard sale was a big success!
I really enjoyed seeing your nature photos, MeMom.
There are so many beautiful things to see in WDW!
There are - especially in Epcot at F&G time and in Animal Kingdom all the time!
NO WAY!!!!!!!!! You will have to let me know what your dates are!!
Oh my gosh, they are just the sweetest!!!!!!!
Bella just sort of leans over whichever way Brooklynn decides to hold her and we grab a shot or two before she goes all the way down.
I love that Mickey purse! So pretty.
Great pictures MeMom.
Glad you are enjoying the purses. It's fun to look at them again.
Good evening, I have worked all weekend, so I had to get caught up.
I havn't been to a yard sale in ages, I love to find treasures.
It's magical that you found Disney friends there. They were meant for you, to find them. Ready for Brooklynn to love.
I have to say, we have Abu! Ours looks a bit different. My son's first word was AaaBU, not Mommy.
Very true, he was his buddy and came with us everywhere.
Thanks for reminding me of how adorable he was before he grew up into this teenager. (
sorry, I'm a little bitter, I found out he skipped a class on Friday....
) Don't see that face here on the DIS very often.
Thanks
BrooklynnsMommy for posting the pics of your cute little girls. Cute Marie outfit on Bella. Brooklynn is the happiest big sister. Adorable smile.
Ahhh, Disney bags....my heart just beat faster.....fun fabric style.
I have a new apreciation for 'Villians' because of
Punkin. I'm sure she loved seeing those tees.
Good luck with the testing, let's hope the kids soaked in all of your good teaching.
They were meant for us, and the price was unbeatable.
I'm not a villains person unless I'm at the
MNSSHP and the Boo To You Parade. Then I think they are pretty cool!
Such cute pictures of the two sisters!!!
I love your update pictures too, you are the Queen of shopping pictures MeMom!!!
Starting week 3 of my maternity leave today... I'd really hoped baby would have appeared by now!!! But he's in an awkward position so not sure he/she will be here for a while yet!
Joo xxx
We're waiting patiently, sort of. Can't wait to see another sweet little baby among our midst.
Lovely pictures this morning, MeMom!
I really want to go see the Earth movie this weekend.
I do, too, and they'll plant a tree if you see it by the 28th, I think.
I've got my fingers doubly crossed (but I am not a double crosser
) for you! Hoping for a marvelous Monday!
We'll hope all that crossing up things worked!
Good luck...your baby will be here before you know it! And then all the sudden he or she will be almost 7 mos old
.
Memom....such pretty Disney flowers...is it Feb yet??
And then 7 years, and then 17!
My pictures don't do the flowers justice.
Hope the math testing goes well!
Love all of the beautiful pictures in honor of Earth Day! I did see something at Epcot about the movie - the sand sculptures - and took pictures. It was very cool.
I have some sand sculpture pictures for later in the week. It was cool.
Are you taking the boys to see the movie?
Good luck to your class today and hoping that you get moved down.
This is why I hate standardized testing; that, and some children just don't test well so even though they know the material they flunk the test. It's crazy. My stepdaughter would get so stressed out over EOGs. She'd get stomach aches and miss days from school because of it (which is counterproductive IMO but her Mom let her do it). We'd tell her to just do her best and that the test wasn't really about how much she knows but how well the teacher was doing her job, which I think is crazy too. LOL She always ended up doing well.
Love the pictures this morning!
Yet the testing becomes more and more a part of the pressure. Because of our demographics, a lot of our top kids move into other systems or into private schools, which then makes our scores fall, which makes us look bad, and so on and so on.
MeMom--I'm really enjoying all of your pictures of DHS. Neither DH or I are big fans of the park, our last 3 vacations we went in the park long enough for Fantasmic and that was it. The last time we really did DHS was May 2007. I think we'll need to spend some more time there in September, however I think we'll be at Playhouse Disney and not in line for Tower of Terror. Our trips are definitely changing! Love the nature pictures too, I would love to see Disneynature's Earth as well. Good luck with testing!
Jill--Love the pictures of Brooklynn and Bella, I am missing Carter being that size! Congrats on the successful yard sale.

Maybe you could do the Hollywood and Vine meal breakfast with the Playhouse Disney characters, too. It's the park we probably spend the least time in overall, but with the addition of Toy Story, it makes it more appealing for some in our group.
I love your nature pictures Memom. Of course, Jill's pictures are prettier. Brooklynn looks so happy with her baby. Is she not at all jealous? They are both precious. I love to read what you right about them. You can tell you love them so much. They are lucky little girls.
They are dearly loved little girls, no doubt!
So far Brooklynn hasn't shown jealousy. This will be good for her to develop some patience, for which she is not known for having a tremendous amount of. It is good for her to have to wait her turn sometimes at home, just like she does at school.
Good luck with testing this week MeMom! I hope that you get to move down a grade!
Jill, both girls look adorable together! Congrats on the yard sale
Thanks. I hope this is my last TCAP for the rest of my life!
Good luck with the Math testing MeMom. That's a long time for 3rd graders to sit still. I hope they all do well. Great pictures to look at early this morning!
They did okay on Day One. I'll let you know about Day Two. Tomorrow is the Reading and Language test - two sections again.
Hope the math portion went well today, MeMom!
I agree about your job performance being based on what children do -- in my case,
it is based on what 12-14 year olds do on a test! 
Beautiful pictures -- doubly enjoyable after a morning of testing!
That is scary. They're old enough to seek revenge on you for making them upset about something!
Hope testing went well...my sweeties worked very hard today. They have Math left on Wednesday.
It was an okay day. Two days of it, though, and they'll be a little more antsy tomorrow afternoon, I bet.
Our tests are called EOGs (end-of-grade tests). You're right. It is so stressful and so unfair to be judged based on what an 8-year-old does on a test. If I ever go back to teaching, it WILL NOT be a testing grade!!! I feel for you and will say a prayer that you will be spared next year!
I said I was going to go back to teaching once my DD started school. Well, she starts kindergarten this fall....................
