Oh my gosh, just reading about Connor and the things he says cracks me up. I love the pictures with the pinata, especially the one in which it managed to sneak in with Connor and Chelsea

That doll is so cute -- I love that your mom is so good at picking things out for you! She gave you the other pretty doll (whose name escapes me right now) as well, right?

 

[wigdoutdismom]

That Connor is quite the haggler!
I can only imagine what he thought those pinata's were going to cost him!

The Farmer's Market looks like such a fun way to spend some time on Mother's Day!

 

[MeMom]

I don't know if I have ever seen pictures of your mom, but I can sure see you in your dad.

Aren't kids just the most fun? It's so cute that Connor zoned in on that particular pinata.
And Chelsea with her posing...

I'm jealous of that fruit salad. Our Farmer's Market got messed up by the water. Some parts were able to open back up already, but not all.

Thanks for sharing that little family event with us.

What a cool Mother's Day gift!! Yay Mom!! And what a fun day at the Farmer's Market!! Love the pinata--too cute!!

 

[SOUTHERNtinkerBELLE]

Ok, I am learning so much about my own city here on your PTR! I've got to check out this farmer's market - it looks like a fun little day trip! And your story of Connor's haggling (or lack of) had me cracking up! Too funny!

Also, for Mickey waffles!

 

[disneydreamingdebby]

Conner did get a great price on the pinata- they sell for around $30 in stores in PA and they look cheaper.

What did Chelsea buy?

I am so glad you received planning tools to help you get excited!

 

[wsushocker]

I doubt Connor could have haggled this one down to $8.

Hi CP! Since I see you on almost every other report that I'm subscribed to, I figured the only polite thing to do would be to come over to yours...so, here I am! Of course, I see that I am a little late to the party and have my work cut out for me if I want to catch up, so, I'd better get to work.

 

[mousescrapper]

Love your idea about the pre-Christmas celebration! That sounds like lots of fun and will definitely get the kids excited about the trip. The book Chelsea and Connor had last year, The Lost Journals of Walt Disney World, in my opinion, was even better than the Guide to the Magic for older kids. It is like a scavenger hunt/puzzle book filled with all sorts of neat things to do/look for -- it's smaller and spiral-bound and fit nicely into our park bag.

thanks...so happy hear someone else has used those scavenger books w/ their kids and liked them...I am looking forward to buying them

Yes, you must take them to the Varsity -- very fun, very-Atlanta spot, and the food is good, too!

Also, across from the Aquarium is the World of Coke -- we had a blast there, and since Coke was invented in Atlanta, we are quite proud of it.

I agree Varsity is fun! I have not done the WoC yet...my Mom did once...we'll probably hash out our plans today another family get together for my brother's belated b-day in April...


loved the pictures and the pinata from your outing at the market...and the trailer joke by wusshocker


that was a funny pic...

so happy to see your "mickey-mail" from Happydog...so sweet! and in your post you sound excited to be going...maybe you always have been but now it seems so

J~

 

[Happydog]

YAY for Mickey Mail!!! Oh. That was from me. I hope it gets you excited, I thought it might give you more ideas since the schedules will likely be similar, but of course I went in the off-season, so you KNOW there will be much more to do!!!

NOW, I love the farmer's market outing, LOVE that Connor didn't think it was "necessary" to haggle, since "for him" he got the price of $8.00... TOOOO funny! TOOOO cute! I don't do very well with that haggling either, but I have to agree $8.00 seems fair!

Oh! I had missed there were Mickey Waffles on the menu -- SCORE!!! The outdoor eating area on the 2nd floor of the community building at Disney's HH, is a nice place, and I bet it would be a great spot for breakfast or lunch!

Do you collect those dolls? Very pretty! That would last a day or less in my house... "But MOM, I wanted to see if she could play Clone Wars with my other action figures..." NOPE. Not a chance, so I like the pictures!!

Fun update! ONE WEEK OF SCHOOL for you?!??!! HOT DOG! WOOT WOOT!

 

[kschafer]

Connor: How much is the pink and blue one?
Seller: For you, it is eight dollars.
Connor: Okay, I’ll take it.

So much for haggling! When I asked him about it, Connor said it was because it was already a really good price. I had no idea he knew what the going prices on piñatas were.

That Connor cracks me up!!

 

[SoonerGirl]

What a great gift you got from your mom! I love that she added the tiara, she obviously put a lot of thought into that

Conner is so funny! Your story had me cracking up

Sounds like a fun day

 

[Wicket's Mom]

Conner carrying that pinata around was a hoot. I just had to laugh at that. He reminds me of my third son, was a lot like Conner as a boy & he grew into a very smart wonderful man. Love that wild pink color, Conner sure is secure in himself. Gotta love that!

I love Madame Alexander dolls & that one was a wonderful gift. Since I had 4 sons, I didn't get to buy dolls. I do have 2 GDs, but their mom discourages dolls. So I get dolls for myself.

 

[disneyfan61]

What a nice gift from your Mom!! (and dad). Love the tiara.

Connor is so cute with the haggling. Hey I think $8.00 is pretty good too!!

I love Farmers Markets. We have very tiny small ones here that they set up in parking lots on certain days of the week. Nothing big like you went to. The fruit salad sounds great!!

Love the sleeping kitty

 

[xoktenox]

Wow the farmer's market sounds really cool! Gotta love fresh fruit in the summer time

Connor's pinata haggling skills, or lack thereof, story is very funny He made a good choice though!

Very cool that happydog sent you some HHI info!

 

[Lovemy3babes]

The farmers market looks awesome. I love stuff like that! Fresh fruits and veggies are the best, especially when you can't possibly grow anything like that yourself. No green thumb here!

 

[MEK]

What a great update! That place looks cool. I love Connor's pinata! I think he did a fine job haggling. After all - that price was specially for him!

I love your CP doll. Now you have to change your avatar and put her picture in there. She is so sassy!

Nice HH information. I gotta tell you - I REALLY want to go there. I almost went in Feb (crazy - I know), but there were some GREAT AP rates there and I was supposed to go to NC with Brian for a soccer tournament. I'm glad I never made the reservation because the whole tournament got snowed out.

 

[andrews1ma]

Connor cracks me up! Do you think he will actually use the Pinata, or let anyone smash it up? Andrew gets so attached to inanimate things-its bizarre- he would probably want to sleep with it like a teddy bear!!!!

I love your new Madame Alexander doll- you have a wonderful mommy!

I can't wait to hear about your HH trip..I would love to do that this summer but I just have to think about how I can present the idea to DH. Right now he is not thinking about vacations since we just got back from Disney, but isn't that the best time to plan for the next Disney vacation!

 

[If U Had Wings]

Love your new doll. Too funny that your mother added a tiara for her! I love Connor's haggling skills too, and how prepared he was knowing a "good" rate. Too cute!

 

[MHTeacher]

Your mom is too smart---How great for her to put a tiara on the doll!

Conner's bargaining skills had me laughing out loud! Sounds as if you had a fun day.
