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

[Chicago Mo]

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!

Glad you got a kick out of it!! that's what i am here for! isn't this supposed to BE entertaining??? It was one wild night..

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!

I do that all the time.. My office is so far off the beaten path (gee i wonder why) there are times that i LOL so hard the boss must come in to see what's up..
there are a couple of good ones but the one with Lex and his tongue sticking out takes the cake!! Goofy dog..

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.

OMG it was hectic! You know Lex is a big GOOF! i wish he would have backed up and sat on the couch along with Santa. that would have been good..
Yeah I would have let you take Lex through the mall.. You walk him...

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

THANKS! You just can't laugh unless you have the absolute visual. I wish someone took pictures of me trying to walk with them. it was pretty entertaining.. wasn't at the moment but now i can laugh very hard at myself... Dog trainer extraordinaire can't even walk two dogs....

Mo, sorry I've been missing...work has been crazy busy and not getting any better as we wind down the year.

First, welcome JEN AND FAMILY...we are thrilled to have you all here.

Mo, I love the photos with Santa...they are too darn cute.

small Christmas stuff..

So putting up the lights on the windows..
my OCD comes out. they MUST be perfect. Zack wanted to help...

this is his help...








Then it was time to make Christmas Cookies:
this is my help:
colander boy:

Then:

OK this has a better story.. You know the paper that is glued in pans? Yeaaaah this is one of them.. He tried to take it off but a little bit of the glue was in his hair and he couldn't get this off his face!
OH I LAUGHED SO HARD...
He did get it out eventually without the help of Mom.
After He got it off we of course found a MICKEY HEAD:

Then we have the Child who ACTUALLY HELPED:

My MESSY Kitchen


Now here is this...
I WAS TERRIFIED about getting a tree this year... because of the weasel..
the tree has fallin how many times on Tom? i mean I had NIGHTMARES about getting a tree with the ferret. Him Climbing, ornaments broken. water all over, again him climbing the tree!!! then we got the tree. I wanted to keep him IN HIS CAGE until after Christmas.. i really did.
of course we can't.
so when you say his name he stops what he is doing and looks at you Like "WHAT?" "what do you want?"
well as soon as the little thing saw his opportunity he seized it.
STRAIGHT for the tree. i sat biting my nails. and
HE couldn't climb!!!! but he does believe the water is for him. his own watering hole. then there is the Tree shirt! Oh to his pure enjoyment he thinks is only for him to burrow and play:
here is the "Hey, Stevie"

What.
I am please to say we are all living harmoniously with the tree tree skirt..

Now i am kinda excited to see what he will do when the kids open all thier toys-wrapping paper ALL OVER.. he is going to go BAT POOP CRAZY!!!



Here I dont' know when i will be back on as today is my last day at work. for two whole weeks I want to

Wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS full of Love joy and Magic!!
God BLESS!!!

Your kids are too funny!

Stevie's antics almost make me want to get a ferret myself. But my three dogs have killed so many rodents this summer I would be very afraid. We lost at least 7 squirrels, just as many chipmunks, moles, lizards and birds this summer. Plus I don't think ferrets are hypoallergetic so I'd have to get rid of Jim before I got one.

Oh Mo... I am sooooo far behind. Despite that - I wanted to stop by to wish one of my bestest Dis friends and her adorable Midgets a...

Merry Christmas to you Mo & all your family. I know you'll enjoy everyone second of the triplets Christmas! It is such a blast!!!

Merry Christmas to all of you that are following Mo's PTR!

 

[disneychic2]

I just caught up with the dog/Santa photos...hilarious! And such beautiful doggies! I am glad you got a pic with your kids and your Mom's puppy! Hope they got a better visit with Santa at a later date. Although they probably enjoyed that one just fine.

I watched 1900 Park Fair videos. How adorable! And I would never have known you weren't feeling good at all. It's funny you posted that so recently because I was wondering how 1900 Park Fair was since I just made ressies for Charlotte's 5th birthday for there. It was too late for CRT and I wanted her to meet a princess, so that seemed like a good fit. Did you like the food? That is actually secondary for me if she has a good interaction with the characters. Does Prince Charming make an appearance?

Okay, well, now we wait for the Christmas photo update. I know how hard it has been for me to get on lately, I can't even imagine with three munchkins and all the pets etc. you have in your life. You want to spend good quality time with the family whenever you can. I just hope your are enjoying the two weeks off and are over your cold. Take care. And, like Arnold, I'll be baaack!

Stopping in to say "hi" on my lunch break

 

[sweetpeaandevie]

The mall story was just too cute!!! Santa looks very happy to have your great dane with him.....who needs reindeer!

Too bad Meg got sick but at least it was way before Christmas

I hope you can recover some of your info from your hard drive. I lost all of mine when my computer crashed a few years ago.....every baby pic of Evalyn gone. Luckily some friends had a few but I was so upset!!! Most of Audrey's baby pics are on a desktop that I haven't used in about 5 years. I'm almost afraid to look into whether those are gone too, I just don't know what I would do in that case. Good luck

I LOVE the backpack idea from the florist. I don't know if it will be in the budget for our trip but it looks great!!

I will be starting my mine vaca after tomorrow so hopefully I will be able to finally catch up around here. I did not realize how busy the last couple of months were going to be. I don't understand how you do all that you do and still manage to be up here enough to stay current.....

 

[DMGeurts]

Stopping by to say hi too... Because I love ya!

Happy New YEar!

Hi again....

 

[nikki7680]

Well it looks like we are going back to Disney for sure in September!! September 14-20 and hopefully getting to stay at Beach Club We were supposed to go every other year but Joey starts Middle School in 2015 and we don't want to pull him out of school then. So 2014 it is!! Although we aren't going at the same time we can still plan together!! Whoo Hoo!!

 

[oopsiDAISY]

Finally psyched myself up to getting on here to catch up on everyone's reports since I have basically been MIA for the last two weeks....and you had only done one post that I missed! So glad Stevie did good with the tree. Hope you and yours had a fantastic holiday season...now back to the work of keeping my own TR updated.

 

[spiritsim]

I apoligise for being afk so long

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My DH had back surgery the 30th of dec stayed in the hospital until the 3rd when he was moved to the nursing home for rehab. He hates it there ,food is terrible and has and old guy next door who yells for a nurse every 5 min 24/7. So he's not getting much rest but it was the only open room. But he has to stay until he can get in and out of bed without using the grab bars. And be able to go up our front steps. Of course he wants me to stay with him all day. I did stay 24/7 when he was in hospital but it's not practical now. Poor guy I feel sorry he has to stay there wish he could come home.

 

[Chicago Mo]

I have so much to catch up on and i tried to get caught up on several of your reports.. I promise i will sooner then later!
i must reply!

Your kids are too funny!

i live a sitcom...

Stevie's antics almost make me want to get a ferret myself. But my three dogs have killed so many rodents this summer I would be very afraid. We lost at least 7 squirrels, just as many chipmunks, moles, lizards and birds this summer. Plus I don't think ferrets are hypoallergetic so I'd have to get rid of Jim before I got one.

i thought the same thing. My Golden would tear him apart.. Surprising enough he doesn't care one bit about the ferret and sometimes wants to play with him..
NO they are NOT hypoallergenic! they SMELL!

Oh Mo... I am sooooo far behind. Despite that - I wanted to stop by to wish one of my bestest Dis friends and her adorable Midgets a...

Merry Christmas to all of you that are following Mo's PTR!

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas as well Dee!!! we did! i hope to write about this today!

I just caught up with the dog/Santa photos...hilarious! And such beautiful doggies! I am glad you got a pic with your kids and your Mom's puppy! Hope they got a better visit with Santa at a later date. Although they probably enjoyed that one just fine.

we did NOT go back to see santa.. just didn't have the time! i even work with a guy who does Santa at the Water tower place.. i still didn't go. bad mommy...
next year hopefully... At least we got one picture with them and santa...
oh Goodness it was such a sight walking with those two morons!!!

I watched 1900 Park Fair videos. How adorable! And I would never have known you weren't feeling good at all. It's funny you posted that so recently because I was wondering how 1900 Park Fair was since I just made ressies for Charlotte's 5th birthday for there.

That is actually secondary for me if she has a good interaction with the characters. Does Prince Charming make an appearance?

HA!!! you watched them!!! they are a hoot! No that's Disney for you. even when feeling your worst Disney brings out the best!!
Yes we really did like the food. one of the best food services in Disney that trip..
Yes Prince Charming does come out. just make sure those silly step sisters don't try to take him away.. it's really funny the whole interaction. i would do it again in a minute..

Okay, well, now we wait for the Christmas photo update. I know how hard it has been for me to get on lately, I can't even imagine with three munchkins and all the pets etc. you have in your life. You want to spend good quality time with the family whenever you can. I just hope your are enjoying the two weeks off and are over your cold. Take care. And, like Arnold, I'll be baaack!

i have some of the pictures.. most of the pictures i took with this really cook point and shoot i have.. BUT Matt LOST my cord to get them off my camera and on to the computer!!! the rat...
but i have several others i can post..

Stopping in to say "hi" on my lunch break

Hello my dear!!! glood you stopped by i miss you around here!!!!

The mall story was just too cute!!! Santa looks very happy to have your great dane with him.....who needs reindeer!

Ya know he actually was.. He wasn't afraid of him at all and grabbed his leash right away. I think he liked Lex better then the other two knuckleheads!!!

Too bad Meg got sick but at least it was way before Christmas

Meg is a total drama queen when it comes to a cold.. It wasn't that bad..
Thank you and she is back to "normal" now..

I hope you can recover some of your info from your hard drive. I lost all of mine when my computer crashed a few years ago.....every baby pic of Evalyn gone. Luckily some friends had a few but I was so upset!!! Most of Audrey's baby pics are on a desktop that I haven't used in about 5 years. I'm almost afraid to look into whether those are gone too, I just don't know what I would do in that case. Good luck

Nope.. So far no one can get the information off.. but i am still asking and praying it can be retrieved... i am just sick over this..

I LOVE the backpack idea from the florist. I don't know if it will be in the budget for our trip but it looks great!!

i fell in love with that thing a few years ago and vowed to get it next time we go!!!

I will be starting my mine vaca after tomorrow so hopefully I will be able to finally catch up around here. I did not realize how busy the last couple of months were going to be. I don't understand how you do all that you do and still manage to be up here enough to stay current.....

well I haven't been around at all.. Since today is a snow day i can finally catch up on a few things...

Stopping by to say hi too... Because I love ya!

Happy New YEar!

D~

I love you too!!! I love my Dis friends more then most other people!

Mo, wishing you and your adorable family a VERY

Well it looks like we are going back to Disney for sure in September!!

i think you need to do a trip report!!! we can plan together!!! I am sure all my lovelies would jump on board!!
I hate we are not going to overlap.

Finally psyched myself up to getting on here to catch up on everyone's reports since I have basically been MIA for the last two weeks....and you had only done one post that I missed! So glad Stevie did good with the tree. Hope you and yours had a fantastic holiday season...now back to the work of keeping my own TR updated.

Well i haven't been over to yours yet.. i plan on doing everyone's some point today... along with trying to get a Christmas update..

I apoligise for being afk so long
My DH had back surgery the 30th of dec stayed in the hospital until the 3rd when he was moved to the nursing home for rehab.

I pray for a speedy recovery!!! is he doing better??


now that i finally caught up with some replies..

PLEASE know i was reading on my phone but i can't reply on it. Because i hate my phone.

I truly love you ALL and thank you for following along all this time..
I can honestly say

I WILL BE GOING TO DISNEY THIS YEAR!!! WOOO HOOOOOOOOOO

ok lets see what i can get done with a Christmas report..

 

[Chicago Mo]

i hope you ALL had a wonderful Christmas full of Magic and love!!! Like i said i did keep up with the lot of you on Facebook and on my phone..

this was a wonderful RELAXING two weeks.. i have learned i can have a full day off become lazy and not do a damn thing.
Bad thing.. is i liked it A LOT.. today we have about 3 feet of snow and it just keeps coming. the temps are supposed to drop to about -40 to -50 by tomorrow. i could puke.
watching the news i see D~ will be worse!!
so i hope your OK over dar just think aboot wearing your boots...

I left work that friday as happy as a girl can be.. I believe i even danced a little bit.
I still DO NOT MISS it...
A good friend of mine at work had bought the midgets a little something.

look how excited they are:

she got them Disney gift cards...
Do you see the stupid sadistic elves in the background?
here how about a close up of what they are doing:

i don't like the elf on the shelf... he has also T.Ped the kitchen.. jerk.

There was a ton to get done. i still had to get presents for my parents and some little things here and there. by saturday i had it all. I had to work Job #2.. ya know what time i got home? 2am!!!! I WAS TIRED! worse? I had to call in at 5am on sunday. yeah... so when i called in i said hi it's Me who just left there 3 hours ago and on a call in.. needless to say they told me to go back to sleep.. i did happily!
that Monday i had to work job #2 again... all i can say are people are S-T-U-P-I-D.
it's the night before Christmas eve people.. yes we are out of everything that is a hot ticket item... you should have done this earlier. but i kept my happy face on and stayed in the holiday spirit. Doesn't help we wear head phones- one ear things- and co-workers talking in your ear while talking to these mensa members is difficult.. trying to keep a straight face is near to impossible.. don't remember what time i got home i know it was late.
I love that job... helps i get along with so many there...

before i knew it... It was CHRISTMAS EVE!!! we all woke up in best of moods!!!
Zack helped me make another apple pie:

they weren't as good as the first time i made it...
oh well i will keep trying.
Every year my adorable Step dad and i take the treck to pick up the food. we cater only because my mom is a little nutty when she is hosting parties.. pretty much everyone want to leave town and come back an hour AFTER the party starts.. so we all came to agreement to have it catered...
here i would LOVE to show you all the pictures from my parents house.. BUT i took them with my point and shoot camera and Matt lost the cord to the computer.. I will get them somehow...
we had the best time as always. whenever the whole family is under one roof i can guarantee it will be loud and tons of laughs!!! there is about 30 people.. Everyone had a wonderful time we kept an eye on Norad Santa tracker for all the kids. about 9 is when we all started cleaning up packing up food, and all our belongings. because it looked like Santa was a few states away!!!
My kids had messages from Santa and the Portable North Pole we watched them and Matt was sweating bullets... i let him go second and the pure joy on his face when Santa told him YES he was on the nice list he settled down.
Now that i had three kids ALL on the nice list it was time for us to get a moving!
My mom bought them their Christmas PJ's they changed quickly and wanted to go to bed:

THEY WERE READY! this is one of the RARE moments of my kids dressed alike.
Off to bed!
it was about 12 midnight when Santa started to bring the presents. but Zack was STILL AWAKE.
he was so cute, and i wanted to knock him out all at the same time.... He was WAY too excited to sleep yet he knew he had to, otherwise Santa was NOT coming to our house. so like any great parent. I gave him nyquil.
he finally fell asleep about 1am..
i was in bed about 1:10...
we put up 2 yes two gates on top of each other to ensure the kids do NOT go downstairs and see the greatness that Santa left behind.. Why? Because it is MY guilty pleasure to see their faces when they come down the stairs...

Which i will post in the next reply!!!
