Hope your weekend was good, MeMom and Jill!
Everything Pop has soooo much great stuff! I love all the 40th anniversary memorabilia. I picked up a bunch of those things when we were there.
I can't believe how big the girls are getting. I feel like I've "known" them both for years now and watched them grow up!
It's gross and rainy here again today but I hope the weather is better down there for you guys. Happy Monday!
You have been around since before Bella even existed, so you pretty much have watched them grow up. One of these days it's going to work out for you to meet them in person.
It's sunny and warm here. About another two months and we'll start getting cool and rainy days.
Bella and those pigtails are just adorable! She is really growing up.
I just talked with her on the phone. She wanted me to know tomorrow is Brooklynn's birthday. She and Jill were going to get the stuff to make cupcakes for Brooklynn's class tomorrow. I remember when Jill and Trent were 5 and 2, and now my grandkids are 5 and 2!
I worried that I might not like POP for that reason but we sure ended up loving it!! What a nice picture

That was our building
I got that pin instead of the hat too but I may end up having someone pick it up for me...I'm starting to think I need the real thing too
WHEW!! Caught up now although I had to skip most of the chatter. I hope your school year is off to a great start! Greg and I return tomorrow and the kids have another week. For the first time in many years, I am not feeling stressed out and sick about starting a new year. I'm taking this to mean I am finally in a position that is good for me!!
I wasn't stressed out until Friday's meeting.

Now I am feeling a little

!
Sweet little angel!
She is a mess, that girl is! She's a little bit devil and a little bit angel.
Way to go on the cake Jill! I hope the little boy enjoyed it!
I bet he did. I think it was for one of Jill's teachers who had a birthday boy.
Hey MeMom! i caught up with your report since i've been gone..I love Bella's hair in pigtails, she's so cute!

& I just got back from my trip to Disney and started my Trip Report yesterday!
I will get over there soon. As soon as I finish here, I have a Math Pre-test to grade and record. By recording, I don't just mean a grade. I have to fill out a grid that shows what every kid put for every answer, then I have to analyze that data. Should be a barrel of fun.
Oh My! I need to check out our BL! Those are adorable!! (and the price is excellent!)
I think Disney World should follow that lead.
Whoa, I miss a few days and have quite a bit to catch up on!
Yes that's correct, I have no idea what the plans are yet. My group is usually pretty flexible so I'm sure I can work around your plans.
Your shopping pictures make me want to jump on Disneystore.com and buy all the Disney Parks merchandise haha. I know I'll be purchasing a few things you showed when I'm back in October.
I hope the beginning of school is going well!
The picture of Tramp with the hot air balloons was sooooooo cool! It really did look like he was looking up at them. And I agree about Pop Century, the vibrant colors are all part of the charm and I wouldn't change them for anything.
Lastly, that picture of Bella with the pigtails at Pop was just so precious! I can't believe how big she's getting!
I think AoA is going to look very bright and colorful on the outside, too. I'm looking forward to taking pictures there. Disney does a grea job using the different colors to help set the mood for their themes. CBR has vibrant, fun colors that go right with the Varribean music. OKW is soft and soothing and perfect for a relaxing vacation feel. AKL is dark and rich. I would enjoy being a Disney resort designer.
Our plan for the last day will most likely be Magic Kingdom and then back to Pop for one last swim before meeting the bad bus in the afternoon.
I bet you and the little cutie with the pigtails had some fun time exploring Pop as a twosome

especially with Bella leading the way just like Brooklyn might have!
Yep, she's my little partner on trips. She likes to hang out with me while the others ride the big stuff. Plus, maybe I spoil her just a little.
You are so right Cathy!!!

Oh and I see in your signature you have a blog, so I'll be by and check you out.
I have to say, the "picture" you created is cracking me up.

I could just imagine that too. But actually hubby is very cool about me spending money while at Disney. It's me who agonizes over every penny spent.
Oh and Bella is adorable in her tig tails!
I have curtailed my spending a lot on the last few trips. It's good enough to be able to go, and to get a few little things is a plus. I used to buy for a bunch of people, and nice things, too, but I dug a hole real fast, so I stopped.
Definitely!
That's fun! We've been in every section but the 50's so far!
We're going to request that for the 2 days we're there in November, so we can say we've been in each. The room facing the Hippy Dippy Pool could get loud at night with screaming kids, but we were so tired from all day at the parks that we fell asleep within a few minutes.
Thanks! It shouldn't be so bad, since it's still summer for me. After our November trip it might be difficult because we get that Sunday (the 4th) to rest and then it's back to school Monday.
We've been in every section. Now we have to work on going for every building. So far, we've covered Jukebox, Tramp, Play-Doh, Mickey Phone, Big Wheel, Walkman, Computer, and Roger Rabbit - some more than once. We've almost made it to every icon.
