Your anniversary plans sound great, Jay. And I'm like you, I would want to know all the spoilers!! Anniversary's are so much fun!
HA HA HA, I am almost afraid with some of the answers I have gotten.
Maybe I don't want to know the truth...being covered in paint, food and toilet paper is ummm....how shall I put this...FREAKY, but it could be fun.
Oh my GOODNESS Jay....these in-room surprises sound awesome. I really wish you would just plan my whole trip out for me. You are so good at it!!!!
You know I will always extend my planning services to you! In fact, MSN soon, I have more ideas at the ready.
"a lard treasure chest" YUMMY!!! Okay now seriously, this dessert display sounds absolutely, positively SCRUMPTIOUS!!! Oh Jay...I can NOT wait to see pictures of this...this is just going to be incredible, I just know it. Hey, maybe you can ask the Culinary Artists....(that is what they are....ya know) if you could have a copy of the layout drawing for your WDW scrapbook!!!! How cool would that be??? (Well, I know not as cool as having the real thing right there in front of you....but I think the layout would be cool next to a picture of the real thing. Maybe you could even ask them to take a picture of the pastry chefs alongside their marvelous creation!!!!! That would be neat too....you know I am all about the pictures too. Hahahaha
I will have to get my hot little hands on the layout drawing. You are right, that would be the perfect addition to my scrapbook! I will ask if any of them are "about". I am obsessed with pictures and of course, I would like to remember those special people that make the magic possible.
WOW, that sounds like such a perfect party for Aladdin!!! I am sure all your little guys are gonna enjoy that. Jay..YOU ROCK!!!!!
It will be perfect if we ever have it. That poor boy has been waiting and waiting. We had to cancel it the first time because we were coming back from the funeral on the original date. The make up date had to be canceled because the Little Prince had double ear infections (and that means neither of his parents had much sleep at all and I was getting sick from the lack of it). This weekend is supposed to be his make up for his make up party but...well, I am almost scared to think it will really happen. Cross your fingers for him!
Jay...I am soo very sorry for your loss. She sounded like a wonderful woman!!!!!
She really was a wonderful woman and still is a special part of our lives. Just last night I made homemade noodles with her recipe. Of course, that reminded us of her, so our dinner conversation centered around all of our best memories of her. It was good to think of her and do so much laughing and smiling.
WOW...the Blue Man Group...I have heard of them....I can't wait to hear all about this as well. Does your DH know he is going to be seeing this show yet?
ummmm....NO!! 
I figure it's every man's dream to spend his 13th anniversary covered in a poncho, paint, food and toilet paper. He has said before he thought it would be neat to catch a Blue Man Group show when they came to a city near us. And he will get totally into the paint and stuff flying. I on the other hand may leave in a straight jacket. 
It should be a whole lot of fun!
My reply is in red.
Poncho zone!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!
Not for me, honey!!
My BFF went to see them in Chicago a few years ago. I will see if she can shed some light on the poncho zone & let you know. Just like you & Heidi, I like to know what's coming, too! (Hi, Heidi!)
Thanks for the PM Barb. I am intimidated, but I figure, you only live once. I am just going to go with the flow and enjoy it for what it is. Did I mention our tickets are in the FRONT row?! OMGosh!!! OH but I must find out how to get a Happy Anniversary wish for dh up on the red scrolling announcement ticker thing before the show (I read in a TR that a woman wished she would have done it for her son when she saw those scrolling before a show). That is one of the things I am currently trying to figure out.
I've got a friend that goes to see the Blue Man Group at Universal's Citywalk every year but do you think I can remember anything about the show she's told me? I've seen Artist Point pictures and the food looks fabulous! Sounds like a great anniversary night, Jay!
The food does look SCRUMPTIOUS doesn't it? Dh and I should both find something we love on that menu! I am very excited for this meal! I am just about to place a call to the IPO to arrange for an in room sitter for the boys. A night alone with dh...I really do cherish those!
I'm printing this out for DH, k?
Sorry to hear about Grandma.
Sounds like a fun anniversary night. I've seen BMG before, but never at Universal, so I'm not sure which show they do there. It's a REALLY REALLY cool thing to see though!
HA HA HA You tell him not only do you have that excuse, but after looking at those pictures, I swear you have only to point to her and claim that you carried an angel inside of you...so you have to do nothing more than fawn over her now. It's your right as a mom of such a beautiful little one! She is just precious.
Thanks for your condolences.
And yes, I hope it's a fun night. I am actually looking forward to this, I just have a healthy dose of "what on earth did I just sign myself up for-ittis" rolling around in my stomach.
Jay,
Thanks for the info about the pins I just ordered 12 pins form mikebiteme and they were 1.80 a pin thats not to bad. I will split them between my two oldest kids the baby is still to young only 2.9.
P.S. I finally got ADR's at Le Cellier
Jeanine
Let me know when your pins come in! We have almost 200 of them!
BUT WAIT, we do have four pin traders in the family...so that is only about 25 each which has to last each of us for a little over a two week vacation.
Okay, it's still just a tad bit over the top...but I plead for understanding, I just get a bit carried away sometimes.
OH LE CELLIER! We are sadly skipping it this time (I make us try at least one new place each trip and this time it just so happened to be Rose and Crown at EPCOT so we didn't have any open meal slots at there). I am hoping to find another family favorite. But I really will be missing Le Cellier...especially the pretzel bread and cheese soup. YUM!
Oh
Jay, so so sorry to hear of the loss of your DH's grandmother.
How is everyone doing? How is DH and how are you and the boys all doing? Wow, 96yo, that is amazing!
OK, now to ff a bit on your trippie, I saw where you are in the "poncho" section for BMG........AWESOME, you will LOVE the show. I took my family to see the BMG in Boston and had NO IDEA I had actually bought the "poncho" zone tickets until we got to the theater and was shown to our seats. NO SPOILERS FROM ME........YOU WILL LOVE THE SHOW FROM START TO THE VERY END!!!!!!!!!
Awww come on Kar, I will beg for details.
I am sure it will turn out to be a great night.
You are moving to the west coast?! Do tell!
And thanks so much for your thoughts. Everyone misses her, but when someone has lived such a full life, it's much easier to celebrate their time here rather than wonder what if they had been given more of it. KWIM?
How early did you get to the BMG show? Do you have any idea about how to get something added to the scrolling ticker before the show?
I'm FINALLY all caught up, I was waaaaaaaay behind.
Your plans sound awesome!
The birthday party sounds like it will be a total blast-I'm not sure if it has happened yet, but when it does (or if it has), please let us know how it goes!!
Also, I'm so sorry about your loss. I'm glad to hear she is no longer in pain and was able to live a long life.
Blue Man Group...I went in NYC, so I don't know if the show is the same, but YES, you will get paint on you!
I'm trying to recall some of things they did, banging on drums that had paint poured on them to make some art. We were covered in toilet paper by the end of the show - we meaning the ENTIRE theater. Both the balcony and the floor. E.v.e.r.y. person. Um, audience participation DOES happen. Food is a prop and might end up in the audience as well.
Hmmm...that's all I can recall right off hand - not sure if the show is different now, or different in another location though. Every sense of yours will be used and be prepared to LAUGH! You will love it. I want to do it again!
It's great to hear that those who have gone would like to go again. I am always up for fun!
I am thinking dh and I will have to change between our dinner at Artist Point and the show. I don't think I want to chance getting paint on anything that would be "within dress code" at Artist Point.

How do I always manage to do things like this with my pictures?!
