So this is what mid-life crisis feels like? Dec 2011 PTR

[shocky5]

Oh no Amy! I'm sorry to hear that class is so stressful. Nothing wrong with a little W on your transcript, if that's what you decide to do. It's better than shooting the professor's hat off.

I hear you about time flying, but I really cannot WAIT for our Disney trip. I even have a short girls cruise (it's a short cruise, not all short girls) between now and then and I'm looking more forward to Disney than that cruise.

You make me laugh! Love the 'short girls' cruise comment!

YAY I'm the first to post for the picture maybe I will win some points! Okay it's Eddie your DH and his or I guess it's yours too, daughter Erin (I had to go to the beginning of the PTR because you only refer to her as DD on all of these pages and I know that's not her name) and I guess that this is waiting for an ADR at Wilderness lodge? Oh and I LOVE the light up pink ears on your DH!


I'm glad that my blowing worked, I was out of breath and the rain finally left us! I'm sorry about your classes not getting you motivated--- maybe they aren't challenging enough for you?

As for the picture - it is Eddie and Erin so 2 points there. But not that location!

I'm guessing Magic Kingdom, waiting for the parade. It's been raining, and I have no idea why Erin's wearing sunglasses in the dark. I don't remember that she's a drummer in a rock band, a poker player, or anything like that.

1 point for guessing Magic Kingdom, 1 point for the rain, and 1 point for knowing Erin looks silly in sunglasses. Save that for the 'story' of the pic. But not waiting for the parade...

You have a picture game too? Did we all copy Ann? Or were you the one that was copied? I think I'm way too late to join yours, but I'll enjoy the pictures nevertheless.

I copied Ann!! I think I had 3 or 4 in here before life got crazy. I feel like maybe life is not so crazy right this second.... so I had fun getting some pics into my PTR.

So I think most things have been guessed, but...

You are outside the entrance to MK.. just having watched the Spectromagic Parade... and Eddie is wearing some ears that were purchased from a vendor along the parade route.

LOVE the pic of the half sunk boat with the guys chillin!

 

[momabaarjo]

OMG...I spit out my tea all over my computer thanks to you and your picture of the pontoon boat. I thought my dh and his friends where the only ones that could to this...and me half to death because I was on the boat with our kids at the same time the front goes underwater!


I so love the picture of the kids back to school...homework the first day...hmmm sounds like a great teacher!

For the record, I refuse to play your picture game...I am tired of never winning...hee hee...Ann's is driving me crazy!

Yes, we are outside of the MK! 1 pt for that! We had just watched the parade! 1 pt for that! AND we did purchase those ears from a vendor! 1 pt for that!

LOVE the pic of the half sunk boat with the guys chillin!

Isn't that hilarious!

Sorry about the tea!!!

I do believe my kiddos have gotten great teachers this year! They seem to really like them and the homework just keeps coming!

This was from our 2009 trip. We were leaving Magic Kingdom, after Spectromagic and Wishes, and were headed to the monorail to go back to the Poly and it was beginning to rain. My DH goes NOWHERE without his sunglasses - they usually sit on top of his hat if he's not wearing them. DD, being the fun girl that she is, swapped out her fuzzy mickey heads (that flashed I might add) with her dad - took his sunglasses and we got a picture. Rare moment and I'm certain she is the only one who could have gotten DH to wear those! He rode the monorail back to the Poly with them on. He's a good daddy!

I will try to post another pic tonight!!! <hint hint Tammie>

I will try to post another pic tonight!!! <hint hint Tammie>

...but I will just probably end up cause I have bad timing! Did I mention I was competitive?

 

[momabaarjo]

Okay....still stalking, I think you are leading me on...giving me hope when I need hope! Off to bed...yikes I know it is only 8 pm. But it is a school night...oh I love the sound of those words (at least for 2 of my 3)!

 

[shocky5]

Next picture!! (Tammie - I'm sorry I didn't get it on here earlier when you were on!)

This one may be toooo easy!

 

[Monknmom]

I am horrible at these games but I keep trying and I swear I was catching up another and you wrote the hint and I didn't finish the other one so I could guess OY..... anyway I am guessing that this is Nolan because it looks to old to be Nate (I think that's your other son's name...) and sitting in a stroller waiting for a parade in the magic kingdom so maybe the move it shake it one? I am horrible with these picture games so I'm sorry if I got it all wrong!

 

[momabaarjo]

I think it Nate (Naton) too! I remember from your cast member post that he did a lot of sleeping in the stroller...he is awake here and looking mighty cute with his balloon (which I am guessing my the end of the day either ended up floating away or you were on the verge of popping it)! I am thinking that is Eddie's hands on the push bar behind him...Nolan is standing off to the side leaning on the pole! Maybe Erin took this picture...the leg on the right looks more like yours then hers! And you are asking Eddie...what possessed him to buy the balloon and he gets to deal with it all day for having to be the fun parent instead of the commando park guide! Nptice the feet stance...yep, I would say he is getting an ear full!

I forgot to metion.. I too love that picture of the kids. They all look so nice.

And... Tammie. I am so sorry my game is driving you crazy...

...but I will just probably end up cause I have bad timing! Did I mention I was competitive?

Next picture!! (Tammie - I'm sorry I didn't get it on here earlier when you were on!)

I think that Tammie may have this one so I will let her have it (being she is so competitive and all. )

I think it Nate (Naton) too!

Maybe Erin took this picture...the leg on the right looks more like yours then hers! And you are asking Eddie...what possessed him to buy the balloon and he gets to deal with it all day for having to be the fun parent instead of the commando park guide! Notice the feet stance...yep, I would say he is getting an ear full!

such a great answer.

Good try! I can give you a point for Magic Kingdom and another point for knowing it's one of my kids in the stroller!

It is Nate! And I will post a pic here in a bit that shows you what happened with that crazy balloon! So here are your points:
1 for Nate
1 for Eddie's hands
1 for Nolan leaning up against the pole
1 for Erin taking pic

not my leg though! A friend's! However, in DH's defense, I think he didn't want to buy the balloon, and Nate waited us out all day to get one and we finally, er... I finally conceded.

Picture story...

This was also from our 2009 trip. Nate kept seeing these balloons on Main Street in MK and wanted one so bad. Well obviously, it wasn't going to be a 'forever' souvenir and if it happened to make it through the week, then there wasn't anyway it was going to go on the plane home with us.

I think I'm the one that finally caved and said he could purchase one. My kids have always pre-earned their spending money for WDW. And we try not to tell them how to spend it, just encourage them strongly, and mostly because we don't want them disappointed when brother comes home with a cool toy and all of the other brother's money was either consumed orally because it was spent on food/drink only to be seen once more coming out the other end... (TMI, sorry...) or because the purchases made were ones that coudn't come home with us that had to be left behind or given away.

But he loved this balloon and it did make it back to the Poly with us... and before I tell you the rest, I will post that pic.

 

[shocky5]

2nd pic of balloon story... go ahead and guess what you can! Love the creativity!

When you get the picture your good! I didn't even notice the legs all around... it does look like a stance that her Dh should fear!
