Thats what I want to do. I want to get paid to give little girls princess makeovers.

That would be fun.

 

[Native NYer]

That would be fun.

I love the swing ride in the giant orange.

I love the swing ride in the giant orange.

I haven't gone on it. The kids did though. I just love the wide walk ways, and how open everything is there. Daisy loves Grizzly River Run, Joey loves California Screamin, and Adam loves Muholland Madness. I don't even have a favorite ride there, I just like the whole atmosphere.

Welcome! Middle School Math is scary.

Grade 3,4,5 school nurse here. Enjoying your trip report. Thanks for posting.I can't wait for more. Coral Reef is one my ADR's. Not sure about the food but the atmosphere looks nice. I have a Disney disease too. It keeps me up nights when I should be sleeping. I am going to need Disney training before I get to WDW.

Most folks out here in Ca don't care for DCA because it lacks detailing and theming that most other Disney Theme parks have in spades.

I, however, prefer DCA to Disneyland because it reminds me more of a WDW park.....crazy huh.

I think DCA is kind of a cross between DHS and AK minus the animals. The Dinoland in AK reminded me a lot of parts of DCA.

I know you are all waiting for the much, well maybe a little bit , anticipated Coral Reef experience but real life interrupted my trip reporting today. I know I mentioned in my pre-trip report that we are building a house, well we are at the point where we have several things we need to get accomplished in a short amount of time. Today was a house work day for all of us.

Daisy was sealing the grout in various rooms.

Laundry room-

Foyer-

Daisy and Adam sealing the tile in one of the bathrooms-

Joey and Adam cleaning up garbage in the game room-

Joey found a treasure-

Showing the treasure to Adam-

Adam with the treasure just before he ran off to put it with their collection-

Our garage- kinda full already-

Aunt Pat and I were working on the windows. They all had stickers, and other sticky stuff on them.

We had to use lots of this-

These windows even had flecks of cement on them, it took me hours to get it off.

I had no adult beverages, so had to settle for lots of

David getting ready for his job-

He was laying our bamboo flooring-

We have lots more flooring to lay tomorrow. It has to get done Sunday because David flies to Denver for the week Monday.

Man that's a lot of work.....were the kids happy to help? They don't seem to be putting up much of a fight....

Funny pic of your DH...

Good luck Sunday.

We didn't work them to hard for to long, only until lunch time. After that they watched mindless tv and built a fort out of blankets. I didn't get a picture of that though.

I think that picture of David is quite funny. He makes me laugh all the time.

Your house is going to be soooo beautiful when you're finished with it!!!

What was the treasure???

We are really happy with how it is turning out.

The treasure? I didn't know so I just asked them. It was......... dried paint.

 

[Native NYer]

Wow! Building your own home is fantastic
Love the bamboo flooring.
You are going to have an amazing house.

And Goo Gone is the best!!
