I did get to meet MommyP at MK on Friday also. DD and I went over for just an hour-ish on Friday to ride a coupla things and I called MommyP and we set a meet spot.....but.....I didn't know that MommyP had a posse! I'm so sorry to make your whole party wait so I could come over to say hi, MommyP! It may have been the shortest meet ever but I would like to confirm that the MommyP family if just as cute, sweet, and friendly as they can be. And those lil pirate boys.....I just wanted to pinch their cheeks...so adorable!
It was so goog to meet you! Don't worry about my "posse" they were along for the ride. They knew that I had plans to meet people when they asked if they could come along. Without me they wouldn't have been able to get from the parking lot to the gates.
So they pretty much had to stop everytime I did. Besides we weren't waiting, we had just walked up.
Nab, Moo and Celery - I'm so glad we got to meet! I was surprised by how talkative Nab was and Celery was more quiet! I'm also surprised that I was able to feel comfortable and make conversation! Yay me!
Marita - I can't believe we didn't get to see eachother! You missed a great show on Saturday night!!
We had a great time at the party Friday night. We got there about 30 minutes behind schedule, but i over estimated on wait times so we caught up with it. The only thing we didn't get to ride that was on the schedule was The Jungle Cruise. We met up with Luther first. She is so sweet! Then we went to Priates, which had like a 5 minute wait. When we got off, my brother, Jeremiah, Seth, Ethan and I went to get the stroller and were pulled aside by some of the Pirate CM's out front. We got to do the whole backstage entry and guides tour of the ride treasure hunt with them. It was cool.
At the parade Ethan got tons of attention from the characters which he ate up! Barbosa came right up to him and shook his hand. I can't remember what he said though.
Saturday at Epcot we all went to Soarin and when we came off(Chad sat out with Ethan and Kaleb) Ethan was freaking out with happiness and said he was tall enough to go on. Which I am not sure how. 3 weeks ago he went to WIC and was measured and was only 37 or 38in.
So Chad and I took him back on with the child swap and I sent the rest of the group to Living with the Land. Ethan loved it, but was a little afraid at times. He doesn't seem to be a ride lover.
I got a little stressed out in WS. Leading a group is really hard. They never looked ahead and said what they would like to do, so I kept feeling really stressed because I felt like I was just making them do what I wanted to do. Plus they walk SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO slow! A 7 month pregnant woman should NOT be walking ahead of them by like 5-10 feet!
It got worse at MGM. First it POURED rain while we were on the Backlot tour. Which ended up not mattering too much because half our group was completely soaked from the Catastrophe Canyon part.
Everyone just seemed slow and cranky, especially Chad. He got short with me one time and that was all it took to get the water works going. I hate that about being pregnant. I cannot control my emotions at all. So I sat down outside the ABC place(to eat) and he calmed me down and then told everyone else how I was feeling and they shaped up.
It was 6:50 by then and they were all hungry. The only place open anymore to eat was that nasty ABC place. Gross.
After bathroom breaks and eating we didn't get to Fantasmic until 7:40. We got good seats, but since we were so late I wasn't able to meet up with anyone before the lights went out.
Wendy called me after the show, the reception was horrible, but I got parts of the conversation. I was so bummed that I wasn't going to be able to meet her. But when we came out of the theater she was waiting there. I didn't see her or here her calling my name. Thankfully someone in my family did! She is so sweet!
Thanks for waiting, Wendy! Norah is so CUTE!
Then I ran into Moo and Celery again before we left.
Yesterday morning just Chad, myself and the kids(plus my brother) went to Downtown Disney. Everyone else went home. The weather was AMAZING! Nicest day yet. Of course when we got home it was no longer nice.
We left at 1 and that was that.
We had a goog time.
Our construction meeting went well on Friday. We should be closing within 2 weeks. We do have to provide our own builders insurance. The goverenment program we're getting our loan through makes you do that in case the builder drops his insurance sometime in the process. I'm not sure how much that's going to cost us. But since we didn't know about it ahead of time it's going to have to go on the CC until our tax return. Can't save up several hundred dollars in less than 2 weeks time. Plus even though we are getting 40,000 for closing costs and down payment they only alloted $4,000 for closing costs, anything over that is out of our pocket. When we closed on our house years ago our closing costs were $5,000. He swears up and down that it won't be more than $4,000. I hope he is right.
The best thing is our payment is going to be around $820 a month! (Including taxes and insurance) that's $100 less than we are paying now. Plus with work so slow and the fear of Chad's job not being there anymore we have the added bonus that if he has to go to a lesser paying job they will lower our payment accordingly.
That is SO much stress off our backs.
We will hopefully be able to get ahold of our insurance agent today and set up an appointment to get that insurance and find out how much it is. We also have to get into town and pick up some paperwork and a movie to watch for SHIP. We are required to take a first home owners class(there aren't any until Nov. 10th.) so we are being allowed to watch the movie and fill out the paperwork instead. Thank goodness!
I have lots of laundry to fold today and school. All the boys are still sleeping! That is amazing for this house.
Have a goog day everyone!
Okay, now that's funny! Did you say Lauren or PJ?
gang.
