Is it a bad sign for the vacation when you faint on the plane? COMPLETED!

[joy13]

Sounds like a great last day so far! The kids are really cute

 

[MRYPPNS]

Sounds like your last day was off to a pretty good start! Can't wait to find out what you bought!

Liam and Danica are just adorable!!! Such happy little angels!!! How are Liam's speech lessons?

Liam is gaining more words weekly. He is still WAY behind for his age but he is making progress. We are working on action words/verbs right now. He can count to 10. He can't say "three" and has a hard time with "four" so him just skips them and goes to 5 and continues on. Thanks for asking.

WOW Heidi the house is coming along very nicely!!!!! Your hubby does amazing work!!

The pictures of the kids are so cute...look how much Liam has grown in less than a year!!! WOW and Danica is just gorgeous...she's going to be a heartbreaker!

Glad you guys got off to a good start on your last day!! I absolutely love shopping at Disney so I can't wait to see what you found and what you bought to replace the toaster LOL!!!

Great update!!!

Thanks!! And yes Liam has grown a lot since that trip.

Funny shopping story....I was out running errands today and saw a little wallet/pouch that I thought would be good for Disney...but I quickly decided against it because why buy a plain one when I can get one with Mickey Mouse on it next month! So I'm adding that to my shopping list.

We did have a nice morning....by the end of the trip we were hitting our groove!

First of all I'm so glad to here Liam is continuing to make progress with his speech. That is simply fantastic Heidi!!!

And I'm with you...there has been a lot of things lately I've wanted to buy, but then I think about it and I'm like I can get that at Disney LOL!!! One of my first stops when I get there is a clothing store to buy a few shirts for the rest of the trip LOL!!!!

Heidi, your kiddos are so beautiful, and have grown so much since your last photos! The addition looks great. We put one on a couple of years ago, and I think you'll find that it is well worth all the trouble and mess. Great update!

 

[TarzansKat]

What a great start to your last day! I can't wait to hear what kind of shopping damage was done!

I can't believe how big your kids are getting. Especially Liam. To compare the pictures of him from this trip to the pictures of him now is amazing. I see it in my son all the time, they look more and more like a little boy and less and less like a baby. It's incredible.

I'm hoping to pick up a Halloween Tshirt at World of Disney the morning of our MNSSHP to wear that night!

Thanks! The addition hasn't been too messy yet....we haven't cut open the existing house to it yet. I'm really looking forward to all the added storage.

It's hard to imagine that Liam was a baby just like Danica only 2 years ago.

More shopping coming up

Day Nine Continued….

We spent quite a bit of time in the UK shops. Mainly because it took me forever to decide what to get and what not to get, and for whatever reason it took CM Tino forever to wrap up my purchases…

Is that not the cutest cup and tea bag thingy that you have ever seen? When I got home I drank tea from it everyday for a month! And to this day I only drink tea from that “mug”. The mug was $9.95 and the tea bag holder was $4.95.

Now the reason it took me forever in that store was because they had a tea cup/tea pot set with Alice on it at a very reasonable price. I wanted for my daughter. The problem was that I didn’t know at that point if I was having a boy or a girl. I struggled with buying it, then maybe having no one to give it to. I can only hope that they still carry that design when I go back next month. It’s mine! Or actually Danica’s!!

DH and I had Fish and Chips at Yorkshire County (two orders plus tax was $17.02). We had a nice table on the patio and DH was chatting with another guest when I came back with lunch. I vote the fish and chips here the best in WDW!

I keep up with my DIS status I needed to finally find the stain glass windows in France of the Beauty and the Beast story. It took many tries to get a picture that came out half way decent.

No trip to France is complete without a stop at a Bakery….in real life or in Epcot. We sat at a little table outside the shop and enjoyed our goodies.

DH’s Éclair $3.75

My Raspberry Schuss $3.95….oh my god! Delish. I getting another one next month.

I love to shop in the Japan department store Mitsukoshi… I buy something every time I go in there.

We added to our rice bowl collection ($4.50 and $6.50). Got a couple little sauce dishes for when we have pot stickers at home ($3.50 & $3.95) and picked up chopsticks for the kids ($2.95 each).

DH also got this for himself:

Naruto plush $16.50

I seem to remember watching the Candy Lady in Japan. I think I took video because I love the way she talks. I’ll have to see if I can find the file.

oh noooooooo!!! PLEASE dont tell me i've invested 4+ hours into reading an unfinished report!!!?!?!?!


talk about cruel and unusual punishment!! *falls to the ground melodramatically, as if I have been stabbed*

please finish! pretty please?

 

[MagicShell]

Danica has gotten so big, and she is just as cute as Liam.

 

[If U Had Wings]

I hope your able to find that tea set when you back this fall. Love the rest of the goodies too. I love that your DH had to get himself a toy too.

 

[TarzansKat]

I love your Alice teacup and teabag holder! They're so cute! And I love that touch of Disney whimsy in everyday life, don't you? I hope you find a tea set for Danica when you go next month. Who knows, maybe you'll find something you like even better.

All in all, some excellent purchases.

 

[Native NYer]

Love the Alice teacup. Too cute!

The bakery in France is my favorite

Have you picked a pearl at Mitsukoshi?

Thanks for reading but who said I wasn't going to finish it? It will be done before the end of September that's for sure!

Thank you! She is the easiest baby in the world.

I just wish DH wouldn't buy stuff that has no home. It was on the kitchen counter for the longest time....I have no idea where it is now. He bought a pair of those big white Mickey gloves in 2005(that you see CMs using to wave to guests). They never came out of the bag and are somewhere in the basement right now.

I try really hard to buy only things at Disney that will get used. Does it always work? No, but it's a good shopping goal.

I am so craving a yummy something from France right now!

I don't actually care for pearls so no I haven't picked a pearl...anywhere. But I do love the little carriage cases that MrsKSomeday found for holding a pearl.

Great update! I love your purchases.

 

[jenjolt]

Awww..that teacup and tea bag holder are just adorable Heidi!!! I love tea sets! I really hope the one you want for Danica is still there on your next trip!!!!!!

Hmmm...French pastries...I know I'm definitely stopping there and getting a few goodies to go LOL!!!!!!

 

[Charleston Princess]

I bought the tea bag holder for my mom (she collects Alice and Mary Poppins things) a couple of trips back -- I thought it was adorable! I hope they have the teapot for Danica in a few weeks.

Those treats from the French bakery look mighty yummy!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I'm caught up! I can't believe how big both Danica and Liam are getting!

I agree with you that those are the best Fish N' Chips on property. Mmmm!

The teacup is adorable. I always love the teacups and coffe mug but as I don't drink either I tend not to buy them.

Thanks! I just read and posted on your ptr.

I was wondering where you were! I normally have a cup of coffee every morning so I have a new coffee mug on my list too...I never found one in 2008 that I just had to have, just a tea mug!

I've been recovering from my surgery. Catching up on the DIS is like a full time job.
