From Pop to the Top - Funtastic Adventures in the Summer Sun!

Baylor and Ben would have fun together in Disney World. Can you imagine the mischief they could conjur up?

Why yes, yes I can and it's I think they would have a blast and I'm sad that Baylor is not coming on their Christmas trip.

Sweet Bella didn't want that nice lady to cut her hair! I had to hold Ben down for his first cut.

I love Brooklyn's hair! Ellie had originally want to get that sparkly stuff but decided on the hair wrap instead.

Maybe you can catch your son in a silly mood sometime, and he will do it. Trent would do in a heartbeat, but he's a bit on the crazy side.

I had that as our first ARD but a request for the "place with all the meat" came up and I was able to score O'hana early for that first night so I moved 1900 Park Fare to later in the week. I am kind of glad, so maybe he will loosen up and silly up and be game to playing around a bit with the steps and not horrified that Prince Charming and Cindy are around.

And still learning new things all the time.
Something happened at camp this week where I found myself thinking 'live and learn', so even in my old age, I continue to gain new wisdom.

What did I learn, you ask?

I have forgotten.

I just remember I did learn something.

I know what you mean. I don't think what you learned is not gone, just filed away.

Work is so crazy I do that often. I joke that between my ADD and Alheimers I am lucky I can remember my name. I cannot walk from point A to Point B with out being asked a million things and then I forget why I am going to point B. 31 more day until school starts for us and it will slow down for us a bit.

That is kind of a sad picture.

The back of Pooh and Brooklyn looking at him is sad. I am glad Pooh came back for a proper visit.

Good Morning!! Lovely pictures to start off my Sunday morning.

I adore Mary Poppins, but that new Mary Poppins that has been around (we had in her January) there is something about her smile that makes her look very un-Mary Poppin-ish.

Yes, I like to create my own words.

I totally agree. I thought the exact same thing.

 

[Megablocks]

I am so glad you girls had a fun day together. That is a great picture!

At any point in time during the visit, did Charles and Patrick roll their eyes and shake their heads at any of your silliness?

Pretty sure they did, but I'm also pretty sure Katie and I were way too busy talking to really take notice When we were walking down one street, we passed a hot dog place and Katie said it smelled like Casey's. I called up to Charles and told him Katie pointed out that it smelled like a hot dog place on Main Street in Magic Kingdom. He said, "no, it smells like hot dogs." I said, "no, it smells like Casey's." I think he shook his head at that point.

I'm glad Bella didn't seem to be upset for too long and I love Brooklynn's hair with all the pixie dust! Very very cute!

 

[BrooklynnsMommy]

Cute pics in the barber shop!

Brooklynn is so sparkly and pretty with her new fancy hairdo!

She did a great job of sitting there and showing Bella it wasn't that bad.

Awww poor Bella, she didn't like the mean ol' scissor lady. I think she just wanted to keep all of her golden locks to herself.

I didn't know goldfish were magical ... i'll try it on Lexi when she has a meltdown in WDW.... probably because of the HEAT!

Bella is adorable in her Mickey ears! Very cute pic!

Did she get to keep the "first haircut" ears?

Yep she got to keep them. Brooklynn has a pair too from her first haircut.

 

[Lady Lallie]

I totally agree. I thought the exact same thing.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. After I posted that I felt mean.

 

[declansdad]

Bella got okay with things.

Very cute and that is a whole lot of stickers!

 

[Happy Elf]

Aww, Bella looks so cute in her First Haircut ears! I'd say she did pretty good. Those first haircuts are a little scary.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. After I posted that I felt mean.

Well we three can feel "mean" -- actually at 1900 we had the other, more Mary Poppins-ish, Mary Poppins -- BUT we saw this other Mary Poppin in Epcot.. it definitely crossed my mind as well

HOWEVER, I have to say the character interaction we had at 1900 Park Fare was great. Alice easily spent several minutes, more than I would have expected with my son, chatting chatting chatting. And she was playing with my other little guy, who was under the table. She called him the "doormouse" -- it was delightful. And we definitely had the strawberry soup at breakfast b/c I know that WigD was raving about it -- they also have eggs benedict, which is why I liked the selections, and DH was pleased with the omlette stand... I have to say I like going back and forth between CP and 1900... I found both equally nice, and maybe the face CMs were better for my guys, they actually could talk to them... I do think the set up in CP is nicer, more "open" and light. There are things to like about both IMO.

I would consider trying 1900 for dinner now ... but not sure that would go over well.... I was trying to get everyone to go to Ariel's grotto for dinner in Disneyland (but the boys all veto-ed it! -- too many princesses they screamed... )

 

[Happydog]

Such delightful pictures of the girls! And I love how the number of stickers grew as the hair cut progressed! AND YAY for magic gold fish -- they do cure everything!!

Such a fun hair-do! I will have to see if my guys would ever go for that!

Neat keepsake with the hat!

GREAT shopping pics -- all the pins!

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Oh my that barber shop can be such a traumatic place for the little ones! Glad those tears didn't last long for sweet Bella!
First haircut ears are the best!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

How nice of Bella to wait long enough to have her photo taken. She looks so sweet with all those stickers. And Brooklyn looks beautiful as always! The barbershop looks like fun!! Can't wait to hear about your DIS meet!

 

[punkin413]

However, after she discovered a stranger was about to invade her space, she decided she was less than thrilled.

awww....poor sweet baby!

great picture!

your hair looks so pretty, brooklynn!

i really hope seth has enough hair to cut when we go in october 2011. i'd love for his first haircut to be there!

 

[k_reile]

we are home! It was a great trip! Caleb had soo much fun playing with his cousins this week! He will miss them this week since my SIL family and my inlaws are staying for another week (MIL watches Caleb so he has to go to a new babysitter for 3 days next week and then my parents are watching him the last two days--so he is used to seeing all of them usually during a regualar week! he is going to be confused on monday when he does not see nana! LOL!

All caught up! Saw something about a brownie, pudding cool whip dessert? is there a recipe for this? sounds awesome!

 

[Native NYer]

Brooklynn's hair is adorable!
Poor Bella. I'm glad she made it through her haircut. Thank goodness for magic goldfish

 

[golden2323]

Loved the first haircut pictures. The CM that cut Bella's hair is the same one that gave Natalie and Kate their first haircuts back in December. Glad Bella let you snap a picture before taking off her ears - Natalie and Kate wouldn't even let us put theirs on!

 

[disneyfan61]

Whew all caught up. I have been MIA for a few weeks.

Love the beautiful pics of GF & those pretty flowers.

Looks like you had a nice breakfast at 1900 PF. I agree with LL. That Mary Poppins looks a little strange.

Love the pics of the girls getting their hair cut. Aw sweet Bella looking not so happy. Glad she posed & kept the ears on so you could get her pic.

Glad to see Trent with the girls.

 

[micandminforever]

The haircut pictures are so cute.

 

[ClaireW]

Enjoyed Bella's haircut pictures
We did this with our eldest DD at just 13 months and they did such a good job of cutting such a small amount of hair - I figure they have plenty of practice cutting the hair of little ones like ours who have a chance to earn their special set of ears, but who wouldn't have had their hair cut that soon in the 'real' world!
We're hoping to go again on our Sept trip with youngest DD who will be just a little bit older, at 14 months

 

[Cat0727]

Love Brooklyn's hairdo, lost of pixie dust is always a good thing
Aww poor Bella! She did not look thrilled with the Mickey ears on her head but at least she let you take a picture
