Here dh and the kids dont do the "water balls" and straws, no, they take off a bit of the paper off the top to expose straw, then they blow the bottom part at each other!
I think I had to go back to your Wishes update. It doesn't get any better than watching Wishes with a Dole Whip in your hand! 
Great pictures, Leisa. The gowns turned out beautiful and you all looked terrific.
That is too funny about the "non-spit" ball.
Awesome pix of the Ball and toooo funny about the paper wad !!!
Pleese have the letter J up before I go to work!!!
The pictures look like a great time was had by all -
Then you go through the after party!

That's what we do and I usually win!!!
(Welcome back BTW!)
Liesa- just catching up- AGAIN!
You already had all those Disney wishes done o by day 3? I hope you saved some for the rest of your trip!
Great pics from the ball. I knew you would have the dresses ready in time.
Cynthia- Great update!!!! That rainbow was beautiful! It look like you all had a great time together- even BEFORE the alcohol was flowing!
Millie- The picture of the flowers is beautiful! Looks like you all had a blast hanging out!
Sandy- HEY!!!!! Nice to see you posting again!!!!!!
Man, how did I get 2 updates behind again?!
The Epic DISmeet looks like it was a blast for all involved. I have to admit I got a little confused as to the timeline with all of the flash-forwards and flash-backs, but as long as everyone had fun it's ok. LOST confused me at times too.
Great job with viewing Wishes, and making sure you got your Dole Whip!I really like the idea of your personal Wishes, too.
I've never watched LOST, so can't help you there.
Does it have to be something we have a good chance of actually making? If so, I'll have to bring Micky rice krispy treats. If not, I'll bring an assortment of sushi from the California Grill.
I like your thinking on this one!
Waaaay behind so I just skimmed through and now I'm hungry. Lots of yummy looking food popping up on here...well except for the SPAM
I am pondering what I would bring to the Disney Pot luck and have decided the Juice from Boma and the multigrain cranberry rolls from CP!!! Also It's not bleeding chowder from Raglan Road , dessert would be the Raspberry merangue from Raglan Road !!! Actually I think I could write a book on what I'd bring
Tye- dye cheesecake is what I would bring.
Have fun at the Ball tonight.
And I would bring the Cheese Soup (LeCellier's receipe).
Yum...that soup is SO good.
And, yes, Liesa...have a wonderful, magical time tonight!
Do have fun at the Ball!!
and be careful with that soup btw! DD is thinking of going vegetarian (she doesnt like vegetables!So rich - she begs me to make it every week - um not even once a month! That's some powerful soup!! (and shhhh, no one tell DD it has beer in it!!
anyway - here's a website where they add step by step PICTURES of the making of the Loaf!! Gotta luv that!
(and if you like that kind of reporting in baking, cooking - you must check out http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/ At the top of her page is a list of categories - check out the lava molten chocolate cake - easy peasy - dd loves the smash potatoes!)
French Toast Loaf
(must sit overnight in Fridge to absorb the liquid into the bread)
Stale Bread
(not slices of sandwich bread, something heartier - Think Texas Toast - the recipe says 12 slices, you want to fill your Loaf Pan)
8 ounces butter
1 cup Brown Sugar combine with
1 tsp cinnamon
and set aside...
Batter
10 ounces heavy whipping cream (not half and half - heavier cream!)
4 large eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp cinnamon
Mix and set aside...
Loaf Pan
Spray with Pam (line with parchment paper if you have it)
Bottom of pan lay 3 slices of the Texas Toast Stale Bread
Add 1/3 of the Brown Sugar/Cinnamon Mixture
Add 1/3 of that butter
Repeat this bread, sugar, butter layer 2 more times
Top with the remaining bread
Must PRESS DOWN hard to smoosh that bread to make it fit!
Now you have app 16 ounces of liquid that will make a custard type mixture, so you slowly pour it in the pan, stop, wait for absorption to occur. You'll need to take your time, and make sure to incorporate all the liquid!
you'll want to add some parchment paper to the top (NOT waxed paper, that would be bad!) Wrap with aluminum foil - place in Fridge overnight. Leave foil on to bake
The Next Day - Bake
(Place the loaf pan on a cookie sheet that you have lined with aluminum foil - just in case of spillage!)
Bake at 325 degrees for about 1 hour (160 degrees - the custard part) Then uncover the loaf and bake for app 15 more minutes
Let rest 5 min - (if you let it sit too long in the pan, it will stick, if you dont let the loaf rest - it will fall apart and be gloopy!)
Now, take a nice plate and flip out the loaf!!
Prepare to exercise at least an hour after eating a slice!!
I'm always trying to think of good Saturday morning breakfasts! This is just the ticket!! Thanks!!Good luck! Have a ball at the Ball!
I'd like to bring Mickey Bars and hot fudge sundaes from Sci-Fi! And maybe a couple of Mickey waffles for good measure. Or some of that cinnamon rice and curried chicken from Tusker House.
the Pioneer woman's recipes - pictures and everything - she posted a recipe for potatoes - that you parboil (I microwave) then cut in half and smash (press down flat) add butter and salt and pepper bake till browned - AWESOME!! they also started a website (look at the top, its red starred out here - kinda like "darn" you autocorrect - but be forewarned,when you read texts that were "auto correct" fail - they are HILARIOUS - seriously PIMP hilarity! 
) Andrew looks so much like Mike! The portraits of the girls are beautiful! I'm glad you all had so much fun - the straw incident was I can't wait to see the Sci-Fi ball! Trekkies Unite!!!
