Awww what a cute fruit arrangment! I loveeee me some Edible Arrangments, they're soooo delicious.
As always, Brooklynn and Bella pictures are adorable. I like Brooklynn's blue ice cream and method of getting tokens in Chuck E. Cheese
MeMom and Jill, how did you get so lucky to get such photogenic girls?!
I would recommend that fruit arrangement as a gift instead of flowers sometimes. We still have a little left, but the strawberries were gobbled up in about two days!
The blue ice cream was messy, but fun.
I am lucky, aren't I, to have all those sweet, beautiful girls?


MeMom, I'm so glad you are having such a wonderful time with those girls of yours. I have my scumscream packed because I really hate scum and screaming of any kind! That fruit bouquet was amazing! I'm not sure I could have eaten it, were you sure to show it off to the point of being annoying before digging in?
Jill, you look marvelous!
To me, sounds like what the Monsters, Inc. characters would use.
I bet your guys would have torn into the fruit, just like what happened at my house!
The arrangement arrived when we were up front for the luncheon, so everyone saw it. They thought it was so sweet of Jill! A few of them offered to help open it.
OMG. with DS's 1st bday and DDs 10 th and
disney cruise and school and life i totally missed the end of Over the river and this report until just now.lol. Jill congratulations on a beautiful family!!!! Im just starting this report but I see you had another beautiful daughter. Yea! And a WDW trip in July. We took the baby in Marcha nd it was so much fun with the baby.
You have been really busy! Are you going to do a trip report?
If not, feel free to share a few of your favorite pictures here, if you'd like.
What a fun day you girls had! Chuck E Cheese is one of our favorites. I know you said the pizza didn't taste so hot but it looks delicious! And I'm starving. Aren't the ticket munchers hilarious! My kiddos love them. Heehee. Maggie Moos looks really good. Is it sort of like Cold Stone Creamery? That's one of our favorites too! I think I should take a day off of work and take the kiddos to Chuck E and out for ice cream too. You've inspired me!

The fruit arrangement looks delicious as well. I would have eaten all of that pineapple!
Yep, a day playing together would be fun! The kids just love running from game to game. We used to take our school summer camp groups, and they would just buzz around from game to game just about running over each other with excitement!
The pineapple was delicious!
Whew, I am finally caught up! I got sucked into the
trainwreck that is the Jon and Kate Plus 8 thread. I finally had to stop checking it, as it was overwhelming me.
I love all the updates, the snake skeleton is especially cool. We haven't been back to Rafiki's Planet Watch for a couple of years, I'll have to change that in September!
By the way, I am excited for your trip to come, when you guys get back I'll get to go.
It looks like you are having so much fun with Brooklynn, Jill, and Bella, I know you are enjoying your time with them (even if you are making me crave ice cream now!). Please post pictures when you get a chance, I am anxious to see the presents from Canada!
Jill--As if Bella doesn't have enough Dis boyfriends, my little boy is 10 months old and is pretty handsome!!

I have looked at that thread several times. I think that TLC is getting a little tabloidish airing what is obviously a marriage and family falling apart for millions to sit and watch. It's a sad situation, and those kids are going to have to deal with the damage in time. Jon has said
stop, but since Kate is too caught up in her perceived stardom
(for what she thinks she is a star, I'm not sure, because she's only on TV because she has a lot of kids, not because she has a talent of some kind), then I think TLC should have the smarts to stop the show. Why would anyone want to show a family being destroyed for the world to see? I don't get it, and I certainly don't watch it any longer. I have seen enough in commercials to just make me sick and so sad for the situation.
I feel the same way about all the people around here who are headed out this week and in the next month. We'll get to enjoy knowing they are having fun down there, then hear their updates, and then know our trip is coming right on the heels of theirs!
We'll add your little guy to the boyfriends! Jill and I have talked about how much fun it would be to have a huge meet, and we named all the kids we could think of in this big group. It would be so much fun to watch them swim and play together while we all sat out by the pool and just talked about everything under the sun!
I went for Xrays and I have a detached rib....
No wonder I am in pain.
Tomorrow I will find out how they will fix it.
Looks like you had a fun day!
The haircut place is really cool! Brooklynn was so good to sit stll. She is such sweet little girl.
Love the Minnie ears on Bella, one day they will fit her.
I'm so glad Brooklynn liked all the stuff. That smile made it so worth it.
So you are back home, cooking for your boys....how thoughtful of you.
Well, yeah, a detached rib might tend to be a little painful!!!
How on earth did you do that???
She loved her stuff. She wanted to read the book and do the puzzle right away. Bella's little outfit was so cute, too!
Oh gosh, I just love the smell of a Magnolia blossom........ I have to fight the urge to run up to everyone that I see and have myself a sniff!
It looks like another fun day with your girls, glad you didn't eat any monkey brains or pigs feet, however appetizing it seemed at the moment......
I'm heading out for a color and trim, why doesn't my salon seem as fun as the one where Brooklynn got to go?
Not a bit appetizing, I can assure you!
Not one bit.
You can try Snip Its and see what they say.
I don't know if it's just for children, or if they would take those of us who are just child
ish!
Love the pictures! Brooklynn did NOT look too happy about getting her hair cut!
Is the Playhouse Disney CD good? We need some new music in the car.
Jill and I had both looked at the CD at separate times and thought about buying it, but were waiting for an occasion. Then we just decided that it would be nice for her to have something new on the way home.
Plus, it spared Jill from listening to
Canadaaaaa! another thirty times.
I imagine after Brooklynn wants to listen to this CD fifty times in a row, Jill will be driven crazy by this one, as well. I hope Disney can make enough music and new CD's fast enough to keep up and keep her from going nuts, because Brooklynn loves the music going all the time. We have about every Disney CD that was ever made already!
Cute pictures! You are right about Bridge Street -- Connor walked up while I was looking at it and said, "World Showcase!"
Yes, it gave me the WS feeling. I felt like I was walking toward France over the bridge. and the water jets reminded me of sitting at Epcot watching Brook run around. Only she's big enough that she needs to stay fully clothed now.
Does Connor know about the store he owns?
More cute pics. I spy a
Disney store bag...
Yes, but I am proud that I went in and out with nothing but pictures. I told Jill if I didn't stop spending money at home, there would not be any to go to WDW on!
Hello.

I'm not sure I'll ever be caught up, but I'm going to give it my best college try! What a beautiful family you have.
We're glad to have you along!
I promise. It will have an end.
It takes a while, but it will end.
And then another one begins!
Just for research purposes, how do you feel about snake skeletons?
What a fun day! Thanks for sharing... I wonder what was in the Disney bag?
Jill got a couple of cute tank tops for Brookie.
I'm not sure if she got anything else. I was watching Brooklynn so she could shop, since she hardly ever gets to go to the Disney Store any more. The one in Huntsville got axed, so she can't get her fix unless she comes to Opry Mills or Cool Springs.
Aw...Brookie's looking more like an experienced shopper every day!
Oh, she had a cart full of stuff, alright!
She loves the round shelf with all of the five and six dollar stuff, like the cars and Buzz laser gun keychains and such. She had a basket full of plush toys, and she liked the hula hoop, too.
I hope she learns how to be a
frugal shopper, too, or she's going to be in big trouble!
