Tink Got Me My Very Own Sharpies!- A Surprise Bday TR (3/8 Final Thoughts)

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! :rotfl:

Great update - even if you were having a hectic morning :goodvibes 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 :cutie:

:rotfl: At no Stacy!

Oh my mom is like that ALLLLL the time. I'm like that ONLY when company is coming over. I held my family Xmas party this year at my house and my mom came over to help me clean beforehand. We were like crazy people getting it done! But we got the whole house completely cleaned (fridge cleaned out and everything in like 3 hours!) :rotfl2:

Thank you about the dress. It's one of the first ones I ever made. I need to find another little girl with brown ponytails to pass it onto!
 
Happy Mardi Gras to you too! Hope everyone got to have a fastnacht today! (thought unless you are from PA you probably don't even know what that is)

My corporate office is in Baton Rouge so they are closed today - I think that means all of the offices should be closed too - don't you?

I do think you should be closed!!! Too bad I'm not in charge. Then again, I don't know what a fastnacht is!

Edited ok googled it. Seems to be a pastry?!?! Is it like a beignet?

Thanks for the support! I am actually heading home sick - darn kid coughed her germs all over me.

A Fastnacht is pretty much like a donut with powdered sugar on it and no hole - in fact a lot of people just buy doughnuts instead of the real thing. It is Pennsylvania Dutch (an I think parts of Europe) tradition that was created to get rid of all of the lard/fat and other things before lent (and fasting) started.
 
I was going to do this update yesterday but with all the fasting- I couldn't bear to look at the yummy food pics!

When I last left you, we were heading off to our lunch ADR at....

LE CELLIER. Oh I do enjoy Le Cellier. I'm not a big red meat eater but time to time it's a nice treat. However, it was super hot out as I mentioned, F&W was going on AND we had TWO ADRs (lunch and dinner) scheduled for today (since we had struggled before the trip about trying somewhere new in WS). So like any good DISer, I had printed out the lunch menu beforehand so I knew ahead of time what I wanted to eat. And it wasn't steak. I had decided to get the Maple Barbecued Grilled Chicken Sandwich. Leave a little room for treats later on ;)


We got seated at Le Cellier fairly quickly since we had one of the earlier ADRs. There was only a couple of other parties in there when we arrived. By the time we left, you couldn't move. Because I've taken forever to write this, I have forgotten the name of our server or where she was from...which is a shame because she was quite good. Aisling was in a bit of a funk again and definitely needed the down time of the meal. She didn't want ANYTHING on the menu (although she eats and enjoys EVERYTHING on the children's menu there) The waitress convinced her perhaps if she had a fruit smoothie that it would change her mind about the rest of the menu. Fruit Smoothies are NOT on the child's menu but she told us not to worry about it and never charged us for it.

Randy got some kind of Canadian beer to kick of his Drinking around the World adventure

I had the Glow-tini

As always, Aisling stole my glow cube to make her water glow. Go right ahead if it'll keep you from complaining for awhile!

The waitress came back and Aisling decided she would *try* the hot dog and french fries. SERIOUSLY Ash. UGGGHHHHH. :headache: This child just did not want to cooperate with food this trip. Needless to say, in the future, I will be choosing ADRs based on our likes- not hers. She barely touched the hot dog and fries.

I of course got the Maple Barbecued Grilled Chicken Sandwich that I had planned (by the way, this is no longer on the Le Cellier menu)....ooooor did I????

Nope those aren't my hands holding that plate. Randy ordered it instead. At the last minute I completely changed my mind and got

Yup, Le Cellier Mushroom Filet Mignon. It was really yummy. Way better than I had imagined it would be.

Now I also had planned to get side of the cream cheese mashed potatoes to share. Wish I had known that THIS is considered a "side"

A WHOLE SKILLET of it. Needless to say, a lot of it went to waste. I mean I had to save room for

The excellent waitress also brought Aisling a piece of birthday cake in another attempt to cheer her up. The sugar did help a bit. Randy got the Whiskey cake.

Overall, despite Aisling's excellent mood ;) it was another great ADR at Le Cellier. Next up we had a country to save and some Food and Wining to do (play on words?!?! :confused3) Would we actually have ROOM to consume more of WS's offerings after having to be practically rolled out of Le Cellier? Would we make it to our dinner ADR? AND WHO is the mystery Eat to the Beat performer and more importantly....will the Smiths actually see them perform???? :rolleyes1
 
Oh man that food looks delish! Where is the *licks lips emoticon?!*

Does Aisling ever eat? That should be the title of your TR :rotfl:

Looks like that is a great time to hit up Le Cellier! :thumbsup2

I'm very glad we decided with going to lunch at Le Cellier instead of dinner.

Have you SEEN the size of my child?!?! Of course she eats. She just doesn't like stopping and sitting down and wasting valuable park time to eat ;) :rotfl: She likes food she can eat on the run!

Actually, I'm still attributing this to her being overwhelmed by the surprise. She was really out of sorts this time around. Epcot was by far her worst day though.

However, Mommy is being a good mommy and listening to her behaviors. We only have 2 ADRs for May. So there should be minimal complaints from the peanut gallery about having to *waste* park time eating!
 
Okay, I am slowly wiping the drool off of my pc screen! Yum-O! We loved Le Cellier when we went. They are so nice there and the food is awesome! So sorry Ash was out of sorts - that is funny that is exactly what we call it when Jordan is in a funk. Looking forward to seeing which countries you conquer, which ones you save and what else lies ahead!
 
I never get tired of seeing pictures of this meal! :lovestruc In November it will be mine!

That was a huge skillet of potatoes!

I don't even particularly love mushroom and I loved it! I had planned to have it for my birthday dinner last month :sad2: Oh well. Another time!

Yummmo! That looks delicious. Ethan was kind of "off" on our October Trip as well, he ate a lot of french fries. I attributed it to him having a sinus infection, he just wasn't getting over. After we got back home it took two courses of antibiotics to get him well.

Thank you for the update, I need to update mine as well, maybe later on tonight.

Waiting for yours!!! popcorn::
 
Yum! That picture of your filet is bringing back some very *tasty* memories! :love:

That was super sweet of your waitress to give you a free smoothie. Our waitress at Le Cellier was wonderful as well. Maybe it was the same girl? :confused3 Our's name was Chelsey.
 
I was way way way WAY behind. :guilty:

Let's see what I remember...in random order of course.

*I LOVE Ash's costume, so cute and the little Zero just makes it complete.

*Randy really looks like Youk, it's kinda scary.

*Mmmmm, I want some cream cheese mashed potatoes RIGHT NOW.

*Baby Ash is so cute on the mural.

*I love the pics with Snow White and the dwarves. I'd like to do that someday.

It WAS really nice of her. Hope she didn't get in trouble. Sometime I fear writing things on my TR because "what if????" :rotfl: I'm neurotic....I know!

:welcome: back skinny Minnie!

Sorry for all the food pics for a woman who's trying to lose weight! Glad you enjoyed the rest of it though. Quite a few people did comment on the resemblence during MNSSHP. You HAVE to go see SW and the 7 dwarves some day. They were so cute.
 
My DD9 loves smoothies too. It's all she will drink at restaurants. She hates the bubbles in pop and has drank enough apple juice to last until she's "old like you Mommy". Gee thanks hon. Sometimes we were charged for them and sometimes I ordered them with my adult meal and drank her child's drink. She's started liking water with a twist of lemon (which is way cheaper) so I'm doing my best to encourage this.

I'm really looking forward to my le cellier night on my next trip. Being canadian I'm not sure which red meat I will order but I will order some. However I will be saving room for the Creme brule.

It's the pretzel bread at there my kids love the most.

Hehehe, thanks! You know, the food pics really don't bother me too much. I like to think of it as virtual eating. :rotfl2:

:rotfl: virtual eating...I should try that!!!

Hey, I forgot to tell you, I got a Vera Hipster on clearance at Hallmark. Is it going to hurt my back if I carry it around the park stuffed?!?!

I don't think it will hurt your back but sometimes mine hurt my shoulder a little bit. I will say that my Saddle Up hurt a few times but I would just switch shoulders for a bit and then I felt fine.
