Be Careful When Tra La La La-ing Through Paris

what??!!! a prom dress? where's the ruffles, lace and uber flattering butt bow??
she really looks so elegant in that dress! The prom dresses in my day.......I can't believe I just said "in my day"...... looked like clown getting ready to visit the set of hee haw!

Is that a garter belt holding his boutineer on his sleeve?

You are so funny.
It was kinda like a garter belt with a flower attached. It's the new thing. His mom bought it. For homecoming I bought the traditional flower for Courtney to pin on his shirt. Courtney was having trouble getting it so I helped. I broke the rose right off the stem. Courtney was sooooooo mad at me. Faron tried to glue it but it didn't work. I think that has something to do with why his mom bought the garter belt flower for prom.

P. S. I loved butt bows

P. S. I loved butt bows

me too! because if you had a really big bow it made your butt look smaller. I do miss the more feminine styles of the 80's. I enjoyed my shoulder pads and mile high hair.

Laura???

I hope everything is ok and you're just busy enjoying your summer!

We are in Gulf shores right now. I have a funny story for you. We told Grace we were going play put put golf. We told her she was going to hit a ball in the hole.. She said, "Grace play butt butt golf"
Courtney and Brennan got into an argument before we left and Brennan Called Courtney a butt hole. Of Course I corrected him. Faron was getting the camera ready and Courtney told him she wanted him to take a picture of her and Lance (her boyfriend) at the golf place. Faron told her yes. Grace tried with the best language skills she could to tell Faron she wanted to take her picture at the put put golf place too. This is how she asked him, "Daddy, Grace take picture with butt hole too." I could have smothered laughing.

That is so funny! Thank you for the laughs to start the day. Isn't is funny how the little ones seem to know how to say the things we don't want them to say at just the right time.

 

[winkers]

I hope you write that down somewhere! The things kids say!

Have fun on your little vacation....it's little because it isn't disney.

I am glad I could give both of you a little laugh. Here are some pictures from our trip I wanted to share.

We were in Baton Rouge, LA. before we went to the beach. Brennan's baseball team played in the USSSA world series. This picture is one I will treasure forever. It brings tears to my eyes every time I see it. It was taken just after a tripple play that Brennan was responsible for two of the three outs. AWESOME!!! In all the years Brennan has been playing baseball I have never seen a tripple play.

 

[reelmom]

The beach pictures are awesome. Brennan's baseball picture brought tears to my eyes. Tell him he did a great job!

 

[Where'sPiglet?]

I love all the pictures!

Day 6 Magic King

We had breakfast reservations for Crystal Palace this morning. When we got there we met up with our bus family waiting outside. They had the same reservations as us. We laughed. They were so nice. I wish I could remember there name. Grace was acting like a brat. I don't even know if it is ok to call your kids that, but that is exactly how she was acting. She finally settlled down a bit. Here is her first picture with a character.

The look on her face says it all. LOL She looks like Calvin from Calvin and Hobbs.

After breakfast we waited at the rope by fantasy land. This is what we saw.

We decided to try to run to Tinks Treasure when they dropped the rope to see if Grace could wake up Tink. She was wearing her Tinkerbell outfit I made her. Well............ it brought us luck because we were the first ones to ask to wake up Tink. Grace got the honors.

She had to ring the bell and tell Tink to wake up. It was cute and she got a certificate.

We rode Dumbo first. We HAD to ride the pooh ride. Grace had watched it on youtube everyday for a month and she was soooooo excited. When we got in line she kissed Brennan.

We rode it two times in a row. She would have rode it all day if we let her. We rode Peter Pan, Snow White, saw Mickey's Philharmagic and rode Its a Small World all before lunch.

We had lunch at Casey's.
We rode BTM three times after lunch. We did Splash Mountain. The longest line of the day was for the jungle cruise. We waited 20 minutes. It felt soooooooo long because it was hot and Grace was cranky. She was also heavy so we took turns holding her. We watched the parade after then visited Mikey and Minnie's houses.

This is when the meltdown happened................ Faron said that he really didn't want to go to DHS again. I had that on the schedule for the next day. He said we would come back to MK the next day instead. It was supposed to be a red day according to TGM. I planned all of it and he was trying to change it. When Brennan told me why I blew up. Faron wanted to cut a day off of the trip and go home a day early. WTH!!!! On NO! I changed his plan quick. We got into a little argument. I won.

We went back to ride pooh again and the line was long. We had to get fast passes. Grace threw a FIT!!! I took her to the playground across. She threw herself on the ground but she finally decided to play.

We had bonous fast passes for Mickey's Phillharmagic. We did both. We rode the monorail the train and IASW and POTC. We went to dinner at LTT. The food was horrible. I liked it last time this time the meat was very dry. We barely talked because Faron was still mad at me over my meltdown. Grace and Brennan didn't even eat. We were not on the dinning plan so it was a expensive meal that none of us enjoyed. We stayed for wishes and then we left.

When we got back to the room I called Courtney.
Side note..............
When we left for the trip the only thing we asked Faron's mom to do was feed the cat. She is just like Marie from Everybody Loves Raymond. You have to give her something to do or you WILL pay. She had the cat food in her trunk and the cat lives outside. She had NO need to come in the house. She offered to get the mail and we said no thank you Courtney will do that. Well................ When I talked to Courtney she said, "Moma, Mamaw is going crazy. She stole our eggs." We have some chickens and Faron's asked his nephew next door to get the eggs and see about the chickens. Well my MIL took it upon herself to help out by selling our eggs to her old lady friends while we were gone. She sold more than we had so she came in the house and took ALL of our eggs. She even went into our nephew's house next door while they were working and took there eggs. She kept calling our nephew, which is her grandson, at work to bug him for eggs. She called his wife at work too for eggs. Courtney said, " Moma, we better feed the chickens some Wheaties and tell them to put their game face on." She said she needed to play the Chicken Song for them. She also said we didn't get any mail that was weird because we had been gone seven days so far.

Up next Day 7

I LOVE the picture where Courtney is holding Grace at the beach and Grace is pointing to the waves. And the pic of your son after the triple play was fantastic as well. I'm really enjoying your TR - can't wait for more!

I am glad you are enjoying it. I am almost done. I love those pictures too. God has blessed me with a beautiful family. Can you tell I am a proud moma?

 

[Where'sPiglet?]

Ooooh! An update!

I like going to MK at rope drop. Well, all the parks at rope drop. I love how they are so clean and less crowded than later in the day.

What a hot mess with the MIL and the eggs and the mail...

And he wanted to go home a day EARLY? Ohhhhh, noooooo! Not having that!

 

[reelmom]

I would be furious with your MIL. Did you ever day anything to her?

 

[disneediva]

Hi!! Another Louisiana mom here..we are from Metairie!

We were there at Mardi Gras too, my son thought LSU was playing in Florida since we saw so many Tiger fans!!

 

[winkers]

I love the pictures from the beach! They're gorgeous!

The pic of Brennan at his game is priceless!

I can so feel your pain when it comes to your mil! Did you at least get the money for all the eggs?
I wonder what made her think she should do that.

 

[DisneyTiger]

You have the most beautiful family, do you know that??? Something tells me that you do They really are just gorgeous. Cajun beauties!!!

Ok, I don't know what I'm in shock more over, your MIL or the fact that Faron wanted to spring it on you that y'all were leaving a day early I do not think so! I'm glad you won that fight!

So glad you did an update. I'm loving all the pics. Keep 'em coming!

It was our frist time there at rope drop. We didn't see the opening show because we had breakfast reservations. But waking up Tink was priceless.

I would be furious with your MIL. Did you ever day anything to her?

Faron told he but it goes in one ear and out the other. We often say she is at large and in charge. She is as good as gold in many ways but she doesn't respect boundaries. If we don't answer the doorbell when she comes she will go to the back patio doors and look in the windows. I had to put up curtains recently because we were tired of it and she NEVER call to say she is coming. I know we will miss her one day but she needs to learn to respect our privacy. She never has. On a good note she does anything we ask in a heart beat but then you can't get her to stop when you want her too. I guess she is lonely.

Hi!! Another Louisiana mom here..we are from Metairie!

We were there at Mardi Gras too, my son thought LSU was playing in Florida since we saw so many Tiger fans!!

Hi we might have seen each other and never knew it. There was alot of LSU fans there. I think it is the best thing to escape mardi gras and go to Disney World.

I love the pictures from the beach! They're gorgeous!

Yes we got the money. We use the egg money to buy chicken feed. She is just an over anxious egg pusher. LOL She has hounded us so much. She gets crazy when her friends want to buy eggs and we sold them to someone else. If she hears my mom say she needs eggs she will jump in and say that one of her friends need them. I blew up and told all of them don't ever ask me about the eggs again. I will buy mine at the store. She can annoy the crap out of you when it comes to eggs.

You have the most beautiful family, do you know that??? Something tells me that you do They really are just gorgeous. Cajun beauties!!!

Thanks
Can you believe Faron's nerve. Like he would have got me out of there a day early. Maybe he would have ended out with two black eyes and a foot up his booty.
My MIL is just like Marie from " Everybody Loves Raymond " and faron is her Raymond. His family calls him the Golden Child. He is the baby and we live across the field from her. She is all up in our kool-aid. LOL!!!!!!!
