Mingos in the Watah! What in the Wuhld?

[Stringbean&Wingnut]

I love that the pin said that she's celebrating life - how great is that! Definitely a reason to celebrate!

As much as I do love all of the Mickey kitchen accessories, I do agree with you about the drain stopper...that just seems a little silly and a bit mean to Mickey!

I love all the Mickey kitchen things! Chris and I plan on picking up several items when we're in WDW in Jan. I'm with you though, I could never have Mickey on my drain stopper

I love that CM's button. There is ALWAYS something to celebrate. Personally, I'm celebrating that yesterday was my final student teaching observation! If I were you, I'd be celebrating being back in WDW so soon

Just being in Disney World with my family is a celebration any time of the year. Sometimes we are there on someone's birthday or on a holiday, but just being there for any reason is happiness to me!

I have the ladle and a spatula and I think the whisk.

Yay for your obsevrations being over! One more hurdle passed.

I was just cleaning out my PM box, and I saw some WDW meets that were supposed to happen for us that didn't. I apologize profusely for anyone I may have forgotten, especially on the October trip. That trip did not turn out like I thought it would, and there was too much drama involved for me to be thinking straight. Not that I think straight when I am in Disney World, anyway.

Anyway, I just wanted anybody that had planned to meet up with us that did not get a text from me about doing so, I really am sorry, and I admit my failure as a DIS friend. I hope we can make plans to do that in the future. I honestly get so caught up in the atmosphere when I am down there that I do forget things I intended to do.

And last, but certainly not least this morning, a picture of a cast member's Celebrate button.

I love this! I just got reminded of this in a big way. My neighbor's house caught on fire this week (she is also my cousin and best friend). She keeps babies in her home for a living, and they were all there when an electrical fire started in the kitchen. She called me hysterical and I ran over to help. We got all the babies out and the fire department got there quickly, put the fire out, and thankfully was able to save their home. They have some pretty bad damage on one end of the house, but it is repairable, and most importantly no one was hurt. It was very scary though to think how much worse it could have been. I have had a hard time getting it all out of my mind and I just keep thinking about how thankful I am for my family, home, health, and life in general! It was a stark reminder to me to never take those things for granted b/c it can all change in a split second when you least expect it!

My DMom is home and everything went fine.
She had cataract surgery on the one eye and they will do the other eye in January.

Thank you for having her in your thoughts today. She was touched that you all cared.

I am so thankful it all went well. She was amazed at how fast the procedure was done.

Doctors are amazing!

Lana, so glad your Mom's surgery went well!!
I didn't get to post before the surgery but was thinking about her.

I just love the Mickey kitchen supplies. I think about buying them every time I am there.
Hope everybody's week is going okay. I had to go for my annual exam to the doctor today. Trust me, I am the worst patient and had been putting it off. At least it is over.

I finally have a chance to get on the DIS! I had a very busy long weekend. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving On Sunday we went to my 1 year old cousin Caroline's baptism. This was the first time we've seen her and she's ADORABLE! Her dad kept pointing out that she smiled every time she saw me I'm not sure why, since she doesn't know me but I'm not complaining Then after the service we had lunch at my mom's cousin's house. It was quiet at first...until we had three little boys in the same room Kazin, Caleb, and my 3 and a half year old cousin Adam(who's mom is pregnant with another boy ) As soon as Kazin saw Caleb he said "Caleb Elijah!" and took off I have no idea why Kazin is using middle names when he talks to people now but it's cute There were 5 kids in total(I'm not sure who the other little girl was) so it was a little chaotic Kazin's talking in full sentences I heard him say "Daddy what's that up there?" in perfect english. I almost fell over Then when he and Josh left he came over to where I was playing with Caleb and said "Caleb Elijah I'm going home now." I can't believe it! He'll be 3 in January.

In other news, we now have dates for out potential Disney trip We're looking at Jan 7-12 or 13. We'd have a huge overlap with Meg! And we'd make it for the last night of the Osborne Lights!!!! I really hope we can go!!!

This would also make a nice, practical souvenir.

I bought that in Feb! It's good to have in case I drop my phone in something wet and lose all my contact numbers...yes that has happened to me before. My first cell phone fell in the dish pan

As long as we're talking prayers and medical treatments, could you all send up a couple for my DD10? Today I'm taking her to her first orthodonist visit where they do the impressions etc. in preparation for braces. She's so nervous! I never had them, so it's hard for me to tell her what to expect. She's asked her friends, but is scared.

I'm glad your mom's eye surgery went well Lana. My mom's had both cataracts and glaucoma, so I totally get it!

I had serious orthodontic work done when I was younger - don't even want to go into it all. I know some people who have been through it lately, and it doesn't seem like they keep them on as long as when I was growing up. They aren't comfortable, but the results are well worth it. Her teeth will be sore for a couple of days, but to me that is just an excuse to eat ice cream Good luck to her

Thanks Kristen. It looks like she will be a pretty standard case - about 2 years worth. A lot of her friends (she's in 5th grade) seem to be getting them now. When I was a kid, it was usually in middle or high school. I think I'll be treating her to some milkshakes!! Today shouldn't be too bad, I'm sure when she actually gets them on it will be worse.

Yes, today should be easy - just gross molds. When she gets them they will definitely be sore. Milkshakes will be perfect Some kids really want them since all of their friends have them - kind of a right of passage.

Hi MeMom! Great last update. I think shopping out of any park but especially Magic Kingdom is the best way to leave. It's never fun to say goodbye but with goodies, that makes it a little easier.

Sorry I've been missing for awhile. Thanks for your kind words on FB after my mother in law passed away.

 

[Mndisneygirl]

Well I am happy to report that we survived visit #1 to the orthodontist! She said it was gross, but it didn't take long. Now we go back in January. (Have to wait for the new year's medical expense account!)

So you can spend some prayers on others!

Kelli - How are you. SO sorry about your MIL. I hope you're feeling okay too!

I could totally go for some MK candy now!! Good thing there are Christmas treats popping up all over the place!! (well maybe that's not so good. my jeans are feeling tight!)

 

[Megablocks]

I love that CM's pin! I need to think of what to write on mine if we get them when we're there. When my friend went last year, she wrote "no snow" on hers (we coincidentally got a foot of snow the week she was gone )

As always, I love the shopping pictures. Your pictures always make me feel like I am there. We hit five weeks today, and tomorrow we'll be able to start saying that we are going next month! Kailyn and I are both really hoping that Christine can go when we'll be there, too. It will be a blast to all be down there at the same time again!

 

[sunny_stace]

I'm glad your mum had a successful day Lana! She's so sweet!

 

[jenjolt]

Love the CM's pin...yes I want to celebrate Life everyday!!

Caren so glad you didn't have to use a snow day yet...YUCK!! The one perk of living further down South...no snow...but sometimes just sometimes I miss it!!!!

 

[Poolrat]

Annual Passes are the devil! They tempt, tease, and taunt and make you pack your suitcases over and over again until you have nothing left to give. One year, I went six times in a one year period.

I went 5 times with mine.

Thank you, Kgroo, MeMom, sunny_stace and Wig'd.
I just got home and I asked her if she was nervous and she said she was a little worried.
I can't wait til morning and I can tell her it will be fine cause she has several of my DIS friends praying for her.

Thanks again! I will post an update as soon as I can tomorrow.

Glad the orthodontist went OK too. CHris had a spacer on his upper teeth and he was a basket it case the day he got it. Anything that prevents him from eating normally is torture to him.

 

[wigdoutdismom]

Ok everybody stop talking bad about the Mickey sink drainer. I happen to know someone that has one.....

Lana, good to hear your mom is doing well!

Sheree, both girls had braces.....ugh! She will be fine!

 

[momof2TNboys]

Sheree- I had braces and everyone is right. The molds were the worst part. GROSS! It hurt some when they were adjusted, but just a nuisance mainly. It is well worth it!
