I talked to Brooklynn on the phone last night. She was coloring a picture and had gotten a balloon at Wendy's. I could hear Bella chattering in the background. I wanted to jump through the phone and smooch them both.

Since you have some, are those pens better than the ones that are like 6-8 in a pack?

Yes, send me good Thanksgiving thoughts from Disney World - pleeeeeez! I would be happy if we got another full Thanksgiving week off of school next year, because I really liked being there during that time. December is already so full of excitement, so going to Disney World in November and then still having Christmas to look forward to is a good set-up for me.

I almost bought the 2009 stuffed Mickey and Minnie while we were there, but I fought it off. I was determined to go budget, and I did. I will be thinking of them at Thanksgiving and wishing I had bought them probably. I have some from a year or two ago, though. Maybe I'll bring them home some cousins in 2010 or 2011 if we can do a family Thanksgiving again.

Aww, They are sooo cute!
I think the pens are better. I have been using the Pluto pen for about a month now and it is still going strong. Just the shape where you grip it is not your average pencil shape.
I sure will. I read your thanksgiving TR from last year and I can't wait to go now. 15 days can't go by fast enough!
I think I might adopt santa mickey and minnie this time around. Of course once I get them though it will be hard to turn down their brothers and sisters.

Just popping in to say Hi before I leave for Disney in the morning. MeMom
I will be thinking of you and your family. MeMom and her family = POP Century. See you when I get back.

 

[MeMom]

I always love your walk around Pop pictures!

Thanks, dad!
And I always enjoy your walk pictures, too.

I am super excited to see the next breakfast pics. Also you have done O'Hana's and Cape May for Breakfast...I think we will try to do one of those next summer and would love your thoughts.... since we are Driving --- it painful to think about, we can get to any of the meals pretty easy I think.

We have been to 'Ohana for breakfast, and we will do so again. I enjoyed it, as did Brooklynn. Jill was not feeling so great that morning, so she needs a 'do over'.

In the report right now, you are about to see some Cape May pictures. We all really, really liked it. Definitely two for it.

All caught up!!

I love all the halloween pictures!!! So many adorable Dis kiddos! Brooklynn's Fall Festibal looks like it was a lot of fun!! I loved going to the halloween events when the kids were in preschool!! DS's school had an adorable parade around the school and then a party! Even the teachers dressed up!

The souvies and the walk around pop are wonderful!! There so much to see at WDW!! Even not at the theme parks!

We have an awesome bunch of kids. It will be an ongoing wish of mine for us to get them all together someday for a big old DIS picnic!

True - you don't even have to go into a park to have lots of Disney fun. I went one year with a friend and Drew and a buddy of his. It was an extreme budget trip for her, so we only went to one park. She chose Hollywood. We did that, and then spent the rest of the trip at DTD and going resort hopping/shopping, and we had a great time.

I hate that aisle!!!!

I think it was $5. It wasn't anymore than that.

It's getting closer!!!!! I told MeMom that I was going to make a giant lime green Mickey head and put it on a stake so that we could stick it in the sand and any Disers on the beach could see it. That way we didn't have to maintain a thread and keep up with who all was coming.

When you were little, you hated the GI Joe aisle.

Yeah, Brook, you can announce wherever you want about NYE at Poly. Just tell them to look for the LGMH and that'll be us! We have an 8:15 Kona ADR, and after that, we'll spread out a blanket on the beach and be on the lookout for Disers.

Love this picture!

So sweet I could just eat 'em up!

Wow, these are some long threads.

We've been around a while.

Happy Friday to you too MeMom!

And now it's Happy Saturday!
I really love Saturdays.

Just stopping by to say goodbye! We are heading out in an hour!!!! Guess where my first stop will be................................................. SOARIN!!!!!!!! I'll think of you.We won't be back until Nov. 16th so I will have lots of catching up to do!

It is so nice to know I'll be Soarin' in spirit!!!

I hope your trip is awesome. Maybe you'll see arkie!

I can't wait to hear all about it

Me, too!

Aww, They are sooo cute!

Maybe I will get one of those next month, then.

I'm so excited for you and your trip! If I had the money, I would go at every school break I had!

Santa Mickey and Minnie are ready to come out pretty soon at my house. I need to go find the Thanksgiving ones today.

You are on your way to the fun right now!

Yeah, Pop is sort of home to us. We just know it well and feel like it belongs to us. We do let other people borrow it when we aren't there, though.


*******************************

It is Four Parks, One Day Extravaganza time, as Jill had named this day.

Everyone would not be doing four parks, but everyone was starting out the day together for Soarin' and a Cape May breakfast.

I think Trent had come down to our room to visit while Jarvis was getting ready down in the other room.

It was very nice to have three rooms.

Drew is up and at 'em!

Drew's camera.

Some of my favorite people.

Documentation of where I was on my 52nd birthday.

Waiting to get into Epcot.

I was very happy to be celebrating with !

 

[MeMom]

This boy is coming to life now.

We saw sweet little Daisy getting ready to meet friends, so we knew it was almost time for the floodgates to open.

There is no telling what Brooklynn was saying to Drew here.

With the bum knee, I forged ahead so I could get a front picture of everyone instead of a back picture.

I almost got them all.

CM's getting ready.

Brooklynn conversing with Disney friends.

Did you notice Drew in the background taking pictures?

Once again, Bella is super thrilled to be here.

When these guys show up, it really starts to get exciting!

There's no better birthday than to have your family and ....

nearby.

Mickey thought he better let Bella know she really was supposed to be up and enjoying the festivities.

Again with Bella's thrills.

Gotta love this guy!

Of course, he immediately recognized Brooklynn, since she was here for the 473rd time.

Somebody spilled the beans about an old lady's birthday, so I got a little treat.

Donald and Pluto helped us count from ten down to one.

Then it was every man, woman, and child for themselves as we headed toward Soarin'.

A blurry shot as we whoooooshed by the greeters.

Don't you just know how much fun they make of us every day?!?!?

 

[Charleston Princess]

So, Drew isn't a fan of early mornings? I can't think of a better way to start a birthday than being greeted by Mickey Mouse at Epcot's rope drop!!!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I am so excited about the Birthday Extravaganza!! WOO HOO!

I love the blurry shot during the Soarin' mad dash!

 

[hlrababy]

I love the opening Epcot pictures!!!

Drew's up and at em picture is hilarious!!!!!

I get cracked up everytime I see Bella sleeping!!! Is she really good about sleeping through anything noisy?

 

[jillyb]

That is a serious camera Drew has there! I was at the sleeping Bella. Even the big cheese himself couldn't wake her with his kiss! Brooklynn looks so happy to see Pluto. And you're probably right...those greeters at Soarin' probably do make fun of all the crazy people rushing to ride. Can't wait to hear more about your day! How cool you got a birthday button!

 

[praisehisname]

That is a huge camera! I'll just stick with my little point and shoot!

Did you take advantage of the birthday special and get a gift card or free admission?

 

[Happy Elf]

What a wonderful birthday treat...to be with your family in your favorite place!

Drew's picture cracks me up, that's how I feel most mornings before I have my Diet Dr. Pepper to wake me up! Ben is in awe of Drew's camera, he would like to get one similar.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

MeMom, I couldn't agree more with your comment about spending your birthday at Disney...
Wow, I think I'm doing the same thing next year!
Except it will be just 2 old coots, leaving kids at home.....

Bella was sure a sleeping beauty, no waking that princess up though!
I can't wait to see the progression of parks.
I think Epcot was the perfect place to start it off!

 

[LoveMyTwoPrincesses]

Again with Bella's thrills.

I can't believe what Bella can sleep through!

 

[k_reile]

i love the opening pics. I wasn't going to plan an epcot opening but who knows...but i think i want to keep it simple with little kids and at least try for magic kingdom opening and maybe animal kingdom...but we will see how things go!

I can't wait!! Less than 3 months!! and then in a little over 3 months i will be fighting my husband trying to avoid getting back on the plane to go home!

 

[IluvXU]

Nothing better than a rope drop to start your Saturday! Thanks MeMom. I crack up everytime I see Bella's pose! I know though it won't be long until she is just like Brooklynn right in the middle of the action!

 

[Megablocks]

I love Bella's sleeping picture. I am super excited for the 4 Parks, 1 Day extravaganza. Hope you have a good weekend, MeMom!

She lives with Brooklynn who is NOT quiet! She also is at school 5 days a week with 13 other little guys in her class. None of them are on the same schedule so there is always someone needing to eat, crying, getting a diaper change, playing on the floor, or sleeping. She just goes to sleep when she is tired no matter what is going on. Half the time she would be wide awake and the next time I looked down she was asleep! She stayed awake much more in October and I'm sure she will be even more awake in December!
