Man Jordan...you sure do sleep in at Disney!

I am usually up by 5:45 am every single morning!! hahaha

 

[*Seanaci*]

Where is everyone...WDW? It's so quiet here tonight.

Once again I got way behind, and once again I'm caught up. It's so hard to keep up with the chatter but I hate missing it too.

First off I can roll my tongue but I can't roll my rs.

I'll be praying for John and his family too. DH's uncle has a caringbridge too.

Loved this update especially since it featured Drew Brees and Saint fans. I would have loved to have been there. He had such a busy day! While waiting for our first bus on our first park day, the guy monitoring the buses said he came back and spent the night in the castle with his family. How cool is that?

I did love the castle picture, it looks very surreal.

And of course I also want to plug my trip report I finally started. Jordan will make a small guest appearance about mid trip.

Just dropping by to share that I am looking at a blizzard outside right now.

I'll catch up later, I went to bed early last night, so I suppose I'm 20 pages behind by now...

I'm sorry that spring hasn't gotten it's act together where you are. What's the deal Spring?!?

I always looked forward to helping give my kids a bath. I gave three of the four their first baths.

My honey was the same way. He couldn't wait to give our boy his first bath. I don't think he gave Mackie her though, I think he was a little intimidated with a girl at first.

Thank you for your prayers.

I'm pretty sure it's #4.

Although, I could certainly do #2. Why am I so dang tired?!?

I could do #2! Now that's funny and I wasn't even trying to be!

Which one did not have the honor?

Here is a lesson for you all.......We went to Ripley's believe ot or not a few years back. WHen we walked in they had a video talking about tongue rolling. The video told you to try to do it in the mirror. So, being the person who always as told, I looked in the mirror and started rolling my tongue. I spent about 5 minutes playing in the mirror before DH said it was time to move along. We saw everything else in Ripleys and on our way out we saw a "window".......Turns out, the mirror was a 2 way! Yep, anyone passing through the end of the exhibit got to see the idiot Pyrate rolling her tongue!!!! I learned that day to never, ever trust Ripley's!

That will teach ya!!! Ripley's made an exhibit out of you!

But you know everyone leaving already stuck their tongue out to someone else.

The real question was... Did your husband know and let you do it for 5 minutes?

Yeah, I'm not buying that "bon-bon" bit. Good job taking care of the kiddos, Derek.

To follow up on my humbugging about what women do... a little humor for you today...
One afternoon a man came home from work to find total mayhem in his house. His three children were outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house. Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door.

He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she may be ill or that something serious had happened. He found her lounging in the bedroom, still curled in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, "What happened here today?"

She again smiled and answered, "You know how every day when you come home from work and ask me what in the world I did today?" "Yes," was his incredulous reply. She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."

I thought for sure Wendy was describing our house (most nights) but then I remembered we have a one story house (and no dog)..... (love ya, Wendy). And for the record, I did come home tonight to a family room strewn with toys all over but my MIL must have cleaned up because when I went to take a pic, it was semi-decent

Hahaha, that's a very good story.

My baby cousins at 3 have been taught to put their toys away. I video taped them cleaning up and it's the CUTEST thing! One of them was folding a blanket~!

Another 4 yr old cousin knows how to fold her own clothes too!

 

[__disneygirl]

Hi Jordan. I just got back from WDW and was excited to see you had updated several times while I was gone. How exciting that you got to see Drew Brees! I'd pick him over Tutto any day to be honest! Though I do really want to go there. Hopefully next trip

By the way you crack me up. I love it. Keep it comin. Also it's awesome you meet so many DISers. I never have but I would like to! I also didn't see ANY lime green anything the whole time I was at Disney. I was hoping to run into some Dis legend or something but alas!

Well, I did teach Ashlyn to take the kids clothes to the hamper at 20 months old and Dylan does clean his room most nights but as for Erin......we'll here's a typical night in her room....(this was from a few minutes ago...)

Honestly, that's pretty clean for a kids room. I think my kids rooms would give you a heart attack if you think Erin's room is bad!

Thanks for the encouragement....Dylan & Ashlyn's room is usually the cleanest..and for the record, Wendy does do the cleaning in the house and I owe her a Big Debt of Gratitude for cleaning up our office...now I can actually walk from the office door to the mac without wading through stuff. Thanks honey.

 

[DisneyDerek]

So recently Erin has taken up a love for garden snails and adopted a trio, Michael and Annalise and Millie, who replaced her meal worm that passed away (also named Millie)....so tonight we upgraded the new pets from their glass jar (with holes) to a snail condo, complete with eco soil, a small branch, lettuce, etc.

I can't believe I just spent $10 on soil and a plastic house for our outdoor neighbors...but I guess it's better than pet field mice

 

[All7OfUs]

funny you should mention pet field mice. My kids caught on in the house last week and made an elaborate box for it complete with palyground and feeding station. Only for it to escape the next morning.

They were so disappointed!!
