Channing,

Thanks for the pic's.

I did not know about the doll making, I am going to have to do that with DD7.

I am going to show her the pic's tonight.

Easter at the GF looked like alot of fun!!!

Hi everyone!!

Great pics Channing!!! Wow- it did look crowded!! I don't know what I am going to go when we have to start travelling in peak season

So we told my IL's about the trip in May and I am in the clear!! Turns out they booked their own trip back for Soap Weekend!!! So no tag alongs for this trip or the December trip!!

Hey Chicago777- what's up Are you stalking my posts or something?? If you know who I am, speak up!!!

Today was day 1 back on the low carbs!! I have 45 days to lose 5 pounds- I am SO glad I started watching it back in January!!!

Have a great day!!
Kristin

Kristin

Yeah!! I remember reading that quickly, then never saw anything again!! Something about your IL's!!!

Annette, I do not think B & C has anything less than full fat icecream. I believe they have sherbert. (ICK - hate that stuff) but nothing low or fat free in the way of yummy icecream. Sorry.

Well, I've kept her away this long!!!

I am glad its lot very close to the GF!!! She loves ice cream it just doesn't love her!!!

 

[grannyminnie]

Channing, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your picture "story"!!!!! And those gorgeous dolls...I might just have to have one made for my granddaughter, who's my little Disney clone! She's JoJo's age and has some collectible dolls. Some Madame Alexander, etc.
And, thanks hugely for your wishes for me to win the night in the castle!!! Oh, wouldn't I just be in heaven?!? I'd be crying and laughing and screaming (as best I can...LOL) all at the same time!

Well if it's them, speak up and join the party!!!

Christine, they do have the Disney princess outfits for the my girl disney dolls.....OK, now I don't want to burst your bubble on the Aurora ....I am not 100% sure, but I think you should know that I THINK (I know I read it somewhere here) you can ONLY get the Aurora dress if you go to that Disney Princess Tea Party at the GF. Not totally sure it's true though, but you might want to double check into it if Aurora is what you really want. I saw the princess dresses but I really didn't see Aurora in the stores. We have Jasmine at our house.

Kristin - Glad it worked itself out!! You are so good with your diet....I am eating bubble gum icecream. It's low fat though. I am doing my points though....it's allowed!!!!!

Annette - How about that soft serve icecream in Gaspies - it's low fat or no fat I think. Maybe that would be OK for the occasional icecream craving??

GrannieMinnie - She would love a doll like that I am sure! My girls also have the Madame Alexander dolls. They LOVE dolls. One of us HAS to win the night in the castle. Go for it!

PolyAddict - Thanks!! Yes, it was a lot of fun. Everybody agreed and Jojo is hard to please with the holiday stuff. I had to twist her arm to get her to agree to go over Easter. She still said she wants to stay home next Easter....I can't believe her.

Kelly...I know! Unreal...maybe they'll bring them back.

Princesses - oh ya the crowds were CRAZY. To the point where it wasn't overly painful to leave and come home. DH and the kids fastpassed TT and it was a 40 minute wait in the FP line!!!! Hope you had fun at Vero. My grandparents used to live in Vero and we'd go for a visit and spend some time at the VB Disney resort every year.

I'm still trying to catch up here!

Channing- I love your pics! Your girls are lovely and it looks like you all were having a wonderful time over the holiday. Please post as many as you wish, As far as I'm concerned, the more the better. You know how it is when you have an upcoming trip? Just can't get enough. Oh, and if you have any recent RPC shots I'd love to see them.


Kristin- That's great that your trip will be just your family. I can relate to this, too. My BIL & SIL wanted to tag along with us in May. They are really great and we have travelled with them before (no problems) but this is a special trip for me and DH. Now they have informed us they won't be joining us after all, just going to their condo in Ft. Lauderdale.

Lindsay- Thanks for the good wishes! I am sorry we are just going to miss each other. I would love to get together sometime with other DISsers and just say hey! I hope you and your Mom have a wonderful trip.

I'm doing very well getting back into my WW lifestyle. I've been doing my walking every day and eating healthy and good. I'm leaving for California in 12 days.

Is anyone watching Dancing with the Stars? I usually love this program but I'm kind of blah on it this season. Don't really know why. My other favorite new show that I recently started watching is Jon and Kate Plus 8 on TLC.
I LOVE it!! The sextuplets are so cute! One hour long episode was when they went to WDW last summer. Too funny! They stayed at WL (not GF).

 

[Cinderumbrella]

I just ordered my P&P Party tickets!!! I love this party!!! DS is super excited to get to wear his CJS costume again. He wore it to the party last August and for Halloween.

I also put in my room request for Pop. I requested the Mickey Phone building, lakeview, ground floor (I was going to ask for top floor so I don't get any upstairs noise, but I rather be on the ground floor so I don't have to mess with the elevator and the stroller!)

Debbi- I love Dancing with the Stars, but I am over it too I guess there isn't anyone I am rooting for (didn't even watch it last week)

Now Rock of Love II- that's a whole 'nother story! (we need a Brett Michael's bandana smilie!!! ) Last night's episode was killing me!!! Those girls are a bunch of crazies!!! And then Celeb Fit CLub with Dustin and his shenanigans!!! Sunday is a fun night of TV for me!!

I am watching the White Sox game and they are getting smoked!!! ETA: HOME RUN BABY!!!! Jim Thome's second today!!!

As for being good with my diet, I was mentally prepared for it this time, plus I have so little to lose, so I only need to stick with it for 3 weeks tops and then be a good little girl and only eat my 1500 calories... (but at least I can have carbs!!!) I pulled out my Jergens Natural Glow so I can start to "feel tan" before we go

I'm off for now!

I LOVE Jon and Kate +8! If you liked the Disney episode you should check out the episode where they fly to Colorado to go skiing, I almost cried for her! I have watched the show since day one and I love watching how they deal with life with so many little ones. I have 4 children very close in age and on days when I am dealing with difficult children I think of Kate and think its not so bad after all!

I think your the second person on here talking about loosing weight! I tried to loose weight before my trip and I gave up. I have been trying to be good but all this Easter candy needs to go away!

Ha Ha, I just got out my self tanners from last summer! My kids played in the pool yesterday afternoon so I figured it was time to get some "sun" myself! Have you ever tried bare minerals Faux tan? It's pretty good but my favorite is the Breathe 24/7 gradual tanning lotion, so good! People really complimented my color with the last one so I have decided to stick with it!

I mix the faux tan in the lid with my medium once my face has tanned (for real, not from my tube!!). Then I don't have to buy another shade! I have to remember to pack that...

Yea, it's great for the face. I don't use any of the creams on my face

I love John and kate that show is soo funny
I am not really watching DWTS theres no one I am like omg I have to watch

 

[minnie my my]

Channing, those pictures are great. I had to show my husband those of Jose. We both got a good laugh out of them. That kind of thing is something my husband would do. He could come up with a great Saturday Night Live Skit to go with Jose. I have always said that he missed his calling. If you want to ever make a movie with Jose as the star just let me know.

I am so glad that we didn't end up going Saturday. I woke up around 5 and almost woke everyone up to make it to Epcot that morning. We are probably better off. We'll be back soon.

I saw John and Kate last week for the first time. I was amazed at how well she handles them. I have three little ones and love them with all of might. It is a challenge keeping everything organized and making sure they each get the attention that they need each day. I can't imagine doing it with anymore.

 

[Lives4Disney]

Thanks Myra. I have a lot of Jose pics. He has been around the "world". I will post our most recent ones tomorrow. This time it was a WS trip with him. He is going to be the subject of a scrapbook.

Sorry you didn't make it to WDW over the weekend. You're probably better off waiting for the spring breakers to thin out anyway. I wish I lived near enough to pick up and go get my Disney fix.

I have never watched that John & Kate show. I think it would stress me out just watching. I'd probably have a panic attack. I have 3 kids but they are so well spaced out they were all like only kids.
