Watch out Dumbo, There's a bigger Circus coming to Town...Triplets take on the World

[Chicago Mo]

Yay on the girls winning!!
Yay for a full day off!!
Boo to Meg being sick!!

Thanks.. she is back to full 100% Meg-a-fied

I cannot even imagine how crazy the Mo circus was getting the dogs' picture with Santa. Did Stevie get to have his picture taken with Santa?

OMG. it was silly... a show stopper really.. walking both Lex and Logan..

I am sure I have no idea HOW we could have scared Jen off....

the thing is she doesn't scare easily! where did she go...

* I may or may not have just posted a ton of food porn on my TR....

the picture of your parent's is just too sweet..

I haven't used this myself but from what I've read, people are getting to use it without an invitation. Most people were not able to get it till about a week before their trip so just keep trying!

i knew you would come to the rescue...

i am going to sulk now...

We decided to do Cinerellas happy ever after dinner at GF because it is only 1 credit instead of 2 at CRT But we are do The Akurush(spelling) breakfast because it's different princesses and still a castle like setting...just our take on it anyways........

glad your doing the breakfast! I was not impressed with the food on lunch at akershus. You will LOVE the GF dinner!!! we did one of the best Character meet and greets!
Oh wait i have video on that!!

HERE IS ONE​

HERE IS ANOTHER ONE​

I remember being so sick with a migraine here STILL had a wonderful time.

Bummer that Meg was sick, but at least it gave you some much needed down time.

Thankfully she wasn't THAT sick.. and i was able to have a great day with her.. and have a DOWN DAY! I survived it!

Doggie pictures with Santa, I know how that can go. We have tried to do those a few times always unsucessfully.

i have a story of course with that..

Loved the pictures from the Walt Archives! What's the Chicago site you are talking about? I must have missed that somewhere.

Thank you!!! Here is the CAPTURE MY CHICAGO

It's a fun photography site lots of really awesome pictures. this is where my stuff is going to be published.

I was able to make fastpass + reservations for BOG back in Sept. without an invite There was a thread about it on the boards. Some people were using the number that came on their magic bands but I can't remember if it was on the box or printed on the band (on the inside where your name is) because it wouldn't take their reservation number. I had no problem using my reservation number.

WELCOME to Jen and family!!!! Cannot wait to read about all the escapades, antics, and shenanigans you all get into while visiting the World together!!!

 

[Iamthequeen]

Welcome Jen and family! Looking forward to hearing all about your plans! I will be in the World at the same time you will be there, so maybe we'll get a chance for a dismeet!

Tess

 

[Chicago Mo]

Thought i would send you all a card from my family to you!!!

CLICK ME!!!​

I haven't used this myself but from what I've read, people are getting to use it without an invitation. Most people were not able to get it till about a week before their trip so just keep trying!

We haven't received our magic bands yet, so I'll try again later. Thanks for the tip!


Mo, so sorry little Meg was sick, but glad it didn't last! It's nice to be able to shut down for a bit and do nothing but watch movies with your little princess. Baking cookies is always fun too!

I cannot believe you lost all your data!! I would be so upset too. We lost all the pics from one of our Disney trips plus a wedding a few years ago. That was bad enough, but when I think of the amount you would be talking about...YIKES!! So very sorry and I hope some GURU from work can help you. I will definitely ask Dan about it since he's an IT guy.

You are most definitely NOT a hypocrite!!!!

Trip related: It is completely okay to eat at BOG every day for lunch!! Dan and I ate there twice for supper and twice for lunch when we went in September. Considering I thought the trip was cancelled and we wouldn't be going at that time, it seemed a good way to celebrate! Another great place to eat counter service is Columbia Harbour House in Liberty Square. It's a little quieter than most of the other quick service places and the food is yummy. It USED to be our favorite "secret" place to eat lunch in the MK.

That card was so cool! Where do find all the great things you post??? I totally stole the card and posted one of my facebook timeline. Yeh, no shame here at all. Okay, I'm off to the doctor to get a Z-pack and hopefully kick this bronchitis to the curb before Christmas. Have a wonderful upcoming weekend and two weeks off!

that Ariana is GOOD PEEPS!

Mo, so sorry little Meg was sick, but glad it didn't last! It's nice to be able to shut down for a bit and do nothing but watch movies with your little princess. Baking cookies is always fun too!

thank you!! she is doing OK. I think she is coming down with a cold now..Just hope it all goes away before Christmas. that would suck.
well the 0938567205687 batches of cookies we have made are... GONE. Today i don't have anything after work so i might do a few more batches and pray they stick around until Christmas otherwise Santa will have nada.. THAT would be a tragedy.

I cannot believe you lost all your data!! I would be so upset too. We lost all the pics from one of our Disney trips plus a wedding a few years ago. That was bad enough, but when I think of the amount you would be talking about...YIKES!! So very sorry and I hope some GURU from work can help you. I will definitely ask Dan about it since he's an IT guy.

I am STILL sick about this. i could just cry. I am going to call today and see how it is going.

You are most definitely NOT a hypocrite!!!!

nope. what you see is what you get. Gemini all the way!

***********************************************************
I had to take a break from the computer. I had a migraine which felt like my brain was melting out of my skull. made my stomach flop...
3 aspirin later i am starting to feel a bit better. Until the janitor is starting to vacuum
SO.. I have the story of the dogs to share now!
Sunday the Mall had a take your pets to meet Santa night! You know me i was ALL over this. SO excited to get a picture of the Kids/Dogs with a really awesome Santa!!!
Tom had to work, my Mom was coming with her adorable Sheltie Puppy Bailey. my three elves and the three beasts!
what i wasn't thinking about was..
walking the great dane AND the golden though the mall
by...


myself....




Logan (the golden not Jen's son ) well he's the one i am showing in Obedience. i didn't think twice about him.. It was Lex. i can only imagine... Loading up the car, the dogs are OUT OF THEIR minds they are getting OUT!!! All of them are overly excited jumping around flying through my house with their leashes and collars mind you.... Meg grabs Piper. Matt takes Logan. Zack grabs the bag with fun stuff. i have the monster dog with keys. everyone RUNS to my truck to pile in. Kids in the 3rd row seating, dogs in the back seat yes all 3 dogs are on one bench seat... my driving to get my Mom.
Mom jumps in with the puppy and OFF WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

takes us about 35 minutes to get to the mall. we are supposed to get there at 6 it's about 5:50. i figure it will take about 10 minutes to get everyone out of my now clown car settled and into the mall.. a very crowded mall...
Meg has Piper, Zack with the bag, Matt stared to take Logan..
Until...
Logan decides to act like he has NEVER been out of the house before. This is the dog who has been shown ALL OVER the place! Including DOWNTOWN CHICAGO!!! WTH is going on with him?!?! Which now has passed to Lex.. HE is now out of his mind.
My mom has her puppy so she can't help take one of these mongrels..
well. looks like i will have to navigate two, out of their ever lovin minds large non listening dogs though a very crowded mall...
onward to the entrance. I feel like i should have a sleigh with these two pulling. life would have been a lot easier then my now arms pulled out of their sockets.
Past the line of people waiting to get on a bus, about to go threw the doors when the sea of people stopped... Then parted like the red sea. OH THANK GOD. people are afraid of the monster Lex.. (little do they know) made walking into the mall OH SO MUCH EASIER! i few more feet in and i have to correct Logan.. I mean this dog is acting FERREL!!! he needs to CALM DOWN. I cannot deal with him acting like a moron AND the great dane too. either one of the other not both. i was ready for Lex NOT Logan. so I get him to see the light of what is going on. CALM. THE. bleep DOWN. get myself together again. I have lex on my Left. logan on my right.. Logan isn't liking this ONE BIT. he is ALWAYS on my left. deal dude. yet he keeps trying to get back to my left.
I cannot tell you how many times he tripped me...
Lex is HIGH stepping it like a horse people are just stopping and staring at this majestic dog high stepping, head held high, trotting through the mall with my severed arm.. Just kidding. he was def peacocking it... Logan FINALLY gave up started to walk on my right.
Explain WHY they gave directions to go threw a specific door, in which we did.
yet
Santa was clear across the other side of the mall?!?!?!
Where there is a Closer door!!! whatever..
i look and my jaw about falls to the floor. the line is zig zagging all over like i'm waiting for It's a Small World Ride.
Then a Mall Worker person says dogs to the right.. OH GLORIOUS DAYS! hardly a line.. BUT there is a malinois. Ya know the police dogs? and this IS a police dog.
Logan has his eyes on him.. Oh crap.. the malinois just barks.. and barks... and Barks.. OH GOOD GRACIOUS SHUT YOUR DOG UP... and barks.
I can feel the tension on Logan. Lex. Not knowing what to do in this situation decides HE is going to Jump on me like i am going to hold this Cow like a baby??? ever see Marmaduke? yep but Lex is black.
i have I now have Logan in between my legs so i know where he is at all times to try to settle the CHICKEN dog down and let him know that No the big police dog is not going to rip him apart.. (but his brother just might rip the police dog apart if the barking does not subside..) Oh the kids??? yeah oh NO help! thinking Lex trying to crawl INTO my arms is one of th efunniest sights they have ever witnessed.
brats.
Thankfully People start to come about the Big Black sissy adn pet him. Oh well. that's it! HE LOVED THE ATTENTION still had a foot on my foot to make sure i was where i was supposed to be yet got all the love. So i can focus on my now ferocious Golden (being sarcastic) calm him down ensure him the malinois is not here to kill us all and FINALLY i feel the tension fall off them both.
slowly moving through the line it's our turn for Santa!!!!
My Mom OF COURSE goes first. the kids throw their jackets on the ground.. Lex seizes the opportunity and lays right down on them.
is that all it took!
Here is my Mom's puppy and Kids:

Cute right?!?!
What an amazing Santa...
Then....
He sees me with my Motley Crew...
Here are a FEW of them I will just let the pictures speak for themselves..
Enjoy!














And the one i Picked???


Because i LOVE how his tongue is sticking out.

Do you see something missing???

Umm yeah... it was such a mess The kids are missing out of MY picture!!!! to find out My MOM told them to move out of the way!!! WHAT?!?! NO!!!! damn it.. Now we need to go back as they did not have a proper visit with Santa.
Crap.
well it was time to gather ourselves together and leave. the dogs are perfectly FINE now. I can walk with loose leashes the dogs are walking like normal domestic animals again
as we are trotting out of the mall a store calls over and says PUPPYS ARE WELCOMED HERE.
so we went! the dogs got lots of love and admiration there too!!!
took us about 45 minutes to actually walk OUT of the mall because we were being stopped every few feet!
Needless to say it was kind fun. the kids got a kick out of the attention THEIR dogs were getting> lex was strutting Logan was back to normal! it was 7:30 when we got back into the packed car to drive home. I was EXHAUSTED.

Hope you enjoyed this crazy story. NO Stevie didn't come out.. too cold for the weasel!

Why isn't it Friday??? I wish to start my VACATION!!!

 

[Chicago Mo]

Welcome to Jen and family! Like I said on Facebook, I love the holiday card!

sure!!!

 

[nowellsl]

Well I sure did need to read about your mall trip today, rough day at work and now I can't stop laughing at those santa/doggy pictures I just love your little dog with the Minnie ears on..... Thank you, you made my day!

 

[Pluto0809]

I really should NOT read your updates while at work. My coworkers around me are going to think I'm crazy or something sitting here laughing like a loon.

Dispite all of that, I'm impressed you got a picture with all three dogs looking!

 

[princess2014]

Those pictures are so adorable. I love the Minnie ears on Piper. I couldn't stop laughing at the way you described your mall experience. I can just see Lex doing that. You are one crazy women. I wish I was there to witness.

 

[Iamthequeen]

Mo, you are just the best storyteller. It was almost like being there! Love the pictures of the dogs and Santa- priceless!
