Actually as a PSA, you should ask your Dr to be tested for it during your physical. They are finding that TONS of people in NE have it since we don't get outside in the winter. As Vitamin D is technically a hormone and not really a vitamin, it can lead to a slew of other issues. And if you are planning on having kiddos at any point, it can lead to infertility issues. Crazy huh?

Okay I just took some if I get pg after 16yrs can I blame you

On our final FULL day at WDW, we had a lot of plans. Get up and get going to Epcot, hit FW, lunch ADR, go back to the room for rest/swim, go back to Epcot for dinner ADR and to quickly tour WS and get some F&W treats, see the Eating to the Beat concert, and watch Illuminations. In retrospect....it was an INSANE plan. A really insane plan! But we've done some crazy things in the past so maybe this would work


First part of the plan went off without a hitch. Everyone slept in a little bit after MNSSHP but wanted to get to Epcot so moved quickly in the morning. We were down at the bus in no time. Aisling was able to wear her Epcot dress from last year but this year it definitely required leggings underneath

We thought it was going to be dead in the parks based on the buses. (you can see the reflection of the bus in Aisling glasses) We were wrong!

By the time we got to Epcot, there was a pretty long line at check-in. Took forever to get our bags checked because they only had 3 bag checkers working

When we got through, there was no PP Photographers out so we figured we'd come back for a picture there. We did want to take a picture of Aisling with her 1st trip to WDW pic on the memorial. She loved finding baby Ash on there

We had planned to hit "the Ball" right away but the line was INSANE. It went all the way through the ropes and down the side of the building. Um NOPE! At that point, we figured we had better get our betters to Soarin' or we weren't getting on. We had Randy run ahead and Aisling and I stopped to get her Kim Possible Mission. Um, only problem. Randy took the tickets to get the FPs. Didn't know we needed them for the Kim Possible machines. Luckily a CM saw us and ended up just giving us tickets. Uh oh. Our times were during our lunch ADR. They assured us they are like any FPs, you just have to return AFTER that time. So we were good.

We finished the walk to the Land only we couldn't find Randy. Turns out he went through the back door of Innovations after getting the FPs and totally missed us. I finally was able to get him on the phone. He met us back at the Land only to inform us that there was like a 60 minute standby on Soarin' and our FP returns times were like 3 hours later. Ugghhh.

That is when Aisling had just had enough. We had decided to ride the Living with the Land boat ride since we weren't waiting for Soarin' and she lost her mind. She loved the boat ride last trip so we couldn't understand WHY she was crying. But she kept cryin' and cryin' because we were "forcing her to go on this ride." Then one of the Snow White bottlecaps fell off her bows. That set her off even more. Randy started talking about returning to the room. Um nope. Not in my plans. However, I was getting might embarrassed by how much she was crying. We tried ignoring her but then she got louder. So we did what any parent would do. We told her that if she didn't cut the crap, she was going to be sitting in the room for the rest of the day...and NO STACY while you sit there! That shut her up real quick.

By the end of the boat ride, her mood had completely changed. Guess sometimes you just need to have a good rant. I personally would know NOTHING about that

We decided to head over to the Seas after the boat ride. We didn't have time to do everything so we let Aisling pick. She wanted to ride Nemo and look in the Aquarium. So that's what we did. She was terribly interested in the marine life, especially the manatees and asked all kinds of questions.

Unfortunately we didn't have a TON of time to spend in the building as we had a lunch ADR to get to.

We did let Aisling stop for the yearly "kid in Bruce's mouth" shot

(think she's trying to look like a shark here)

We finished up in the Seas and it was time to get moving to WS cuz we had a LOT of eating to do!

Okay I just took some if I get pg after 16yrs can I blame you

I'll happily take the blame

 

[Jennifer48]

Ya so I'm a little behind on my books. I blame that on the Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich. Read them? They are great!!

I want to see the baby Aisling pic!

Sometimes a girl just needs to cry, sometimes a mommy just needs to remind her when it is time to be done!! Glad she enjoyed the aquariums.

 

[LuccaDrake]

OMG regarding the in-laws. They just don't get it. I mean, how ridiculous is it to pull into someone's driveway and then call to see if they can visit? WHO DOES THAT?!?!? Maybe you can hang an 'OPEN' flag outside your door when you are welcoming visitors?

And Peggy Post would most certainly not agree with the Indiana short notice wedding. If I were you I wouldn't go. You shouldn't feel obligated.

Awesome Coach Mickey design! I got an eyeroll from Dave when I showed him. Men just don't understand!

Sorry you haven't been feeling well. Hopefully all those pills do the trick!

Nice update. Loved the baby Aisling pic at Epcot. Can't wait to see what you ate!

~Beka~

 

[Diamondintheruff]

Honestly I think they need to spray some sort of tranquilizing drug in the air in Epcot. It's the location of many a meltdown.

Love the baby Ash pic.

 

[mkleinbe]

I am SOOOOO making this design into a travel shirt!!!!

LOVE it! Did you make your Lady Tremaine shirt? Tori wanted an Anastasia shirt last time, but I didn't know how to get her on a shirt. Any tips?

She just wasn't herself this trip. I really think it was the pure shock of the surprise that she never got over!

I'm not going to Indiana. I just wouldn't want to be there by myself even if I had the extra cash hanging around!

Yes men don't understand. I got the same eyeroll

As far as my inlaws, we tried the "when the shades are drawn" thing but that never worked.

Love the baby Ash pic.

It is the location of many a meltdown..adults and kiddos alike!

I'll PM you

Rant away! to the wedding and in-laws! My in-laws are but I have a grandmother-in-law who is pure evil - no exaggeration. She just got banished from family functions again for the second time for her horrid behavior.

Great update! I can't wait to see what you guys thought of Kim Possible - Jordan loved it! That stinks that it was so crowded. Love the baby Ash picture - was that child born with long hair? LOL! Jordan was bald until she was two!

 

[DisneyJo]

Did you guys get good candy in Sept? Last Sept we got all kinds of yummy candy and this year we got not-so-good candy. Aisling doesn't eat candy so it goes to my office-mates and they were highly disappointed after last year

Here's what I got, BTW the link for my TR is in my siggie

I took it all home for my DD's and they loved it as most of the candy we don't get over here although they were amazed at how much was peanut butter which they hate

UGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Randy just called me to warn me that my inlaws did a drop by again and called him FROM OUR DRIVEWAY saying that they wanted to come in and visit. UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

OMG I wouldn't be happy either and the wedding thing too, that is definitely not enough notice!


Aisling looks very cute in her dress and I love the baby photo. Poor little thing having a melt down but I must admit sometimes I feel as though that's what I'd like to do


Oh and I've read the KK books, they're great but I definitely liked the first one better but then it was interesting reading about the castle suite in the second one as I've slept there

 

[praisehisname]

We told her that if she didn't cut the crap, she was going to be sitting in the room for the rest of the day...and NO STACY while you sit there! That shut her up real quick.

So funny that NO STACY is a punishment!

No, I wouldn't either...

She was born with an average amount of jet black hair. That fell out and it grew back with light brown CURLS. Then I cut it. Now she just has straight straight brown hair. But it does grow SUPER fast...like mine.

I completely missed that you had a reunion TR. I'm heading over to check it out. You got MUCH better candy than we did!!!! That's the kinda stuff we got last Sept. This year we got all little hard candys. They must run out of the good stuff by the end of October

So funny that NO STACY is a punishment!

No, I wouldn't either...

Denise

Well, there are limited things you can do to punish a child in the Happiest Place on Earth!!!

My mom is a little OCD with the cleaning thing. She freaks out if there is that day's mail on the table and company is over I'm not a clean freak by any means. My house is generally neat but if people are coming over I would like 15 minutes or so notice!

I'm just like your mother! My house must look PERFECT is company is coming over. Now, when its just me I'm not that obsessive but if I know someone is coming for a visit I'm a cleaning machine!

Great update - even if you were having a hectic morning I think Aisling's EPCOT dress is my favorite of her outfits - it's so creative, I love it! And she looks too cute with her sunglasses on

At no Stacy!
