Hello all,
The kids were both supposed to go to a birthday party and me and Mitch were going to go to a restaurant to watch the big Jet game.
The birthday girl is sick so the party was canceled. When I was making breakfast my mom called and asked me if she wanted to go to the outlet mall. I have a growing list and coupons to use there so, the 5 of us are going. I'll also be stopping by the Disney warehouse. They sell park merchandise DIRT cheap. Hopefully I'll find a few good buys there.
Have a good day everyone.

Our house is crazily awaiting the Jets game

Hello Barbara,
sorry to hear that you were not feeling well the other day! sounds like Mitch and the girls had a great dad/daughters day...good for him deciding to coach. Danny always said he could not commit due to work and he always made it to every practice and of course every game. This year is Dayne's last year! and Ashton does not start for at least two years...I think Dayne will end up coaching his teams.

Love the new avitar!
we missed figment last May but he is on the list for next trip!
have a great evening and day tomorrow!

Hi Connie,
I'm still not 100% back to myself. I felt like I was going to fall over at the mall today at one point. I haven't had a full day to rest yet which is what I need. It completely shocked me at tryouts yesterday. The coaches were talking and were saying they were one coach short for the season Mitch came out of no where and said "I'll coach" there are 2 other assistant coaches incase he ever can't make a practice or game due to work. What sport does Dayne play? Amy is still in dance and towards then end of the softball season Emily starts volleyball.
Ashton will love Figment. Today I was thinking of January instead of December. We are only taking the kids out of school for 1 and a half days. We can go in the middle of January for 6 nights and take advantage of a 4 and a half day weekend vs. if we went in december we could only go for 3 nights. Decisions. Decisions.

Sounds like a fun day.
Softball will keep you plenty busy for the next several months.

What kind of art class did you teach?

Softball always keeps me and my toes along with all of their other activities. I taught a scratch art class for 7-12 year olds. At my old school I always did a school wide boat show and they went on display. You draw a boat and then you put your favorite movie characters on it.

I love you new avatar! Too bad the gingerbread house didn't stay standing, but it looks like the girls had fun anyway!

Thanks! I tried to re- glue a couple of times but then I just gave up.

Yay Im all caught up now.

Thanks Sara. They're winning!!

It was a fun day I still have a little cold. We got what we needed at the mall and we also got things we NEEDED at the disney warehouse.
All together, we got a castle in lights fleece throw-9.99$, a rose and crown glass- .99$, A tote bag that Emily wanted in May but it was 30.00 so I talked her out of it-12.99, and a photo album-2.99. Total price was 30$! I'll post pictures of the goodies later on.

Love the new avatar!

We can never get gingerbread houses to stay up, so we always end up using hot glue. Of course, then you can't really eat it, but it looks pretty!

 

[ladybugmom]

LOVE the new avatar, too!! Can't wait to see pics of what you bought!! It sounds like you got some good deals!!

Hi Denise,
It's a HUGE mall so we only do a section at a time when we go. Yesterday was Sports Authority-got what we needed there and the Disney character warehouse. We got good buys there. A bag, glass, photo album, and fleece throw all for under 30$. I'll share pictures later. The sink of dishes is looking at me right now.
Have a good night!
Barbara

After Figment we began our walk to the United Kingdom. I read in some Trip Reports that some our friends like to hang out there so we went to go see who was hanging out on this fine should be in school/work Monday.
Maybe we'll do this later, maybe not.

You can't walk around Disney with out stopping for pictures.

You can see the tree in the backround. I don't remember if there is close ups.

Let me go upload some more pictures.

Isn't Epcot just beautiful!?!?!

With in no time we reached Canada

Once in the United Kingdom Amy felt the need to go in the phone booth

because she had an important phone call to make

To this say I don't know if there was someone on the phone with her or not

crowd level

In the Toy Store I asked the CM where to go and she pointed straight to here

The line for Pooh was super short, like I figured it would. There was only 3 families in front of us and one in back of us.
Memom's E-war wasn't there he was busy building himself a house the CM said.

This was the only picture I got with them. Even though there was like no there we were still rushed. It was sign the books, one picture and Have A Magical Day. I felt like saying to Pooh and Tigger "If there's a fire please tell me I want to get out too." I restrained myself though I had wanted a family, girls, and a individual of everybody but my wish could not be granted. Not complaining though I like my ONE picture.
Back outside-
Alice manicans

FE FI THOUGH THUM I SPY A HIDDEN MICKEY!

I kept thinking this castle thing was modeled after Cinderella Castle. They looked pretty similar even though Cindy's is MUCH or mucho, as Em would put it bigger.
Christmas tree

Across the lagoon

Looks like someone couldn't quite reach

I wonder if Disney changed the stickers on the monorails/buses and around the parks to fit this year's volunteer theme.

Where do we go next in our World tour?

 

[MeMom]

Memom's E-war wasn't there he was busy building himself a house the CM said.

He's very productive like that.


You know what I was thinking in the phone booth pictures, right?
Let that child out of there!!!

Donald was probably building a school!
I thought of you when she went in there. I just put one in though you put everyone in.

After Figment we began our walk to the United Kingdom.

Only in Disney can you do that!

I was wondering the same thing about the buses/monorails.

 

[ladybugmom]

Thank you for all of the pics of the WS!!! The WS is my FAVORITE part of Epcot and it's even prettier with all of the Christmas decorations!!

So true! Only in Disney would I walk to the UK or be capable to in that fact.
I wish I could go and see for myself. We might go for 2 nights in october for MNSSHP so I'll see then. I think they'll keep some balloons since the celebration theme is still in effect and put some Muppets volunteering or something. It was a huge conversation in the car the other day.

Thank you for all of the pics of the WS!!! The WS is my FAVORITE part of Epcot and it's even prettier with all of the Christmas decorations!!

No problem! I completely agree! I wish the story telling was going on then put our passes were about to expire so we had to go then.

 

[Charlefours]

Great updates! Love the new avatar

 

[micandminforever]

Great pictures of Canada and UK, I love the phone booth picture.

 

[kcandbella]

Ahhh the red phone booth brings back memories!! My mom's old neighbor had one of those IN THEIR BACKYARD. For decoration! There was no phone in it. They were odd people to say the least. When I was younger, it was so much fun trying to see how many people we could fit in it. When I went to London, I sent my mom lots of red phone booth postcards and pictures! I can't wait to get a family pic by the one at Epcot!
