I really liked the rule out of the grandparents' handbook!
Bella's sprigs are adorable!
The pictures on Main Street are really nice, even if the sky was crying.
I have my final student teaching observation of the semester in a few hours so wish me luck! I'm teaching AP Psychology and going to do a lesson on eating disorders.
I hope your observation went very well.
I've tried to help with Brooklynn before when she's like that, but it does not work out very well. In is wrong and so it out. Up is wrong and so is down. Yes is wrong and so is no. It's a no win situation.

In her defense, if she is allowed to wake up on her own, which doesn't happen often on Disney trips, of course, then she is very pleasant.
That sounds like a good rule out of the grandparents handbook.
Bella is SO cute! I miss her and Brookie..and you..AND Jill!
NOO!! Bella!! Get out of there! I'd be freaking out.
The baseball guy outside of Casey's sure does look sad when the sky is crying!!
There will be more hippo meets starting again in 2012.
Grandparents also get to dispense popsicles whenever they please.
Little girls crack me up when they get together. My (almost) 7 year old daughter (Emma) and her best friend go to school together, after school care together 2 days a week, AND they live 2 blocks from us, so they're together alot...yet every time they see each other they act like it's been FOREVER. They get picked up together on days they go to the church after school, and evidently one day there was a CRISIS....there was WAR declared in the 1st grade....it's the boys vs the girls, and we need to think about our "stragedy"
I'm sure your little girl's plotting was sweet and innocent compared to some of the wannabe thuglets around her.
I hope your girls got those icky old boys, by the way.
Awwww...I would have given Bella those cookies too...what a cutie pie she is!!!!
Loved the Lumiere line he does look like he wants to bust out and go frolick on Main Street!!!
Shopping oh the shopping!! I love shopping with you MeMom!!!!
So glad you enjoy it. It's cheaper than the real thing, and there are no crowds to fight.
I do love Bella's little sprigs! She looks so tiny standing there with her cookies and little big girl shoes on. She's sure not a baby anymore.
Bummer about the early morning MK rain. Photos without crowds are nice!
She's a mess these days - talking up a storm!
The rain probably helped the streets be even more empty, really, so I was okay with it.
Hey girls!
Sorry I haven't been around in FOREVER!!!!
We are on the road right now headed to see the Mouse! So watch your phones for some pics!
I also have a HUGE REQUEST! If you will please say a prayer for my sweet uncle Jimmy. He is having a biopsy on bhis adrenal glands at 2:30 today. This test is crucial. Any and all thoughts and prayers would be appreciated!
When is the Oct dis meet?? We will be going back in Oct too
Prayers for your family. I got your e-mail. There's a lot going on with you guys. Enjoy your trip.
As for October, we had to change our dates, and Jill and Bella are not going. It'll just be Brooklynn and me, and we're going the 15th through the 19th.
I love to see pictures of Sleeping Bella. She is a very cute sleeper. I know how Jill feels getting Brooklynn up, my son is a bear if you wake his as well.
That rain was coming when we left. It made it a little easier to leave, but it was not fun getting our van packed up.
You know, it rains almost every time we leave. I know it is coincidence, but it is true.
Poor Brooklynn is not a happy waker-upper girl. That's probably like most people, but since Jill and I can both snap up even after a few hours and be pleasant about it, it's just different.
Aww boo to the rain, though you did get a lot of pictures with MK empty which is really cool looking!! I love the excited face over the box of cookies, too cute!!
I think the streets look kind of cool wet.
A little box of Minnie's treats were good for the soul.
I don't know if this is the one Memom is referring to or not (since I haven't been on here in forever either ) but we were playing with the idea of meeting up on Saturday, October 1st, in the afternoon at EPCOT and all riding Nemo together. Memom - if that's not the one you're talking about please correct me.
I don't guess you saw our changes. Brooklynn and I are going later in October, and Jill's not going at all.

We will look forward to pictures from you guys, though.
Yep, I would be putty in those little hands.
Amazingly, there is not much difference in their behavior by the time they get to middle school -- yesterday we had a fight in the girls' bathroom first thing in the morning, and then during lunch there was another fight between two boys. They have all lost their minds.
These girls will be those girls in a few years. They have so much anger in them at such a young age, and they already think they're about sixteen.
