Michele: That is SO weird ... charging for a party?? The only time I've ever heard of that is for a rave-type underground party where your entrance fee helps to fund the um *cough*
illegal activities. Not that I've ever been to a party like that.

Oh, and Miss Lilly is absolutely gorgeous!! She has such pretty hair, and really looks like a bundle of personality. How sweet!
While we were in Epcot, Lyzzie and I got matching Henna tattoos on our arms from the lady at Morocco. I let Lyzzie choose the design and of course she chose the most elaborate, expensive one. But I was pretty much expecting that. When I was at the dr. yesterday, he pointed to it and said, "What the heck is that? Did you get all wild on me since the last time you were here??" It's so funny seeing people's reactions. Good thing he hasn't discovered my REAL tattoos, that would really throw him for a loop!!
I'm going to try to get my pictures transferred to my computer today and get some of them into Photobucket. It's just a little overwhelming... I took SO many! My mom asked Lyzzie if I took any pictures, and she says Lyzzie just looked at her, rolled her eyes in the way only an 8 year old girl can

, and said, "Grammy, it wouldn't be a vacation if Mommy didn't make me stop to take pictures every ten seconds." I still haven't quite gotten the hang of taking good night pictures though. Guess I'll have to do some research and practice before September.
Hope everyone has a GREAT day! It's so beautiful out here, but I am just too darn tired to think of a single thing to do today. Everything I can come up with (zoo, farm, park) just seems too exhausting... I'm still in WDW Recovery Mode! It's too bad too, because I have Miss Emma Rose to myself for most of the day - Lyzzie doesn't get back from her party until about 2 or 3 pm. Poor Emma took over an hour & a half to get to sleep last night, she would cry and get out of bed every time I left the room. That girl was pulling out every trick in the book! I'm so hungry, I have to go potty, I have to poop, I'm thirsty, I need another story, I'm lonely, I feel sick, I want to watch tv with you... you get the idea. She even got out of bed and ran smack into her bedroom door and then howled I'm HURT! I think she's afraid she's going to go to sleep and I'll be gone again when she wakes up. I even tried laying in Lyzzie's bed for a few minutes - Emma wouldn't take her eyes off me. FINALLY I got her to sleep by promising I'd come back every few minutes to check on her (and with the help of a little Benadryl - hey, she
was a little sniffly!). The only good thing to come of the whole thing is that she slept in until almost 9am this morning, I was loving that!
My mom got Emma almost completely potty trained while we were gone. I took her to Target yesterday to pick out some new panties to keep at our house - the silly girl wanted Cars briefs for boys! We settled on some nice flowery Hanes with no characters. And then this morning, she didn't even want to wear them, she wanted her Princess pullups!

Oh well, whatever makes her happy is fine with me.
YM: I LOVE your picture! You two make such a handsome royal couple. May I ask what exactly you two are the king and queen of?
Donna: Those Mickey waffles look great! I didn't eat nearly enough of those on vacation. I think I had them only once, at the abc Comissary at MGM. Yummy! It was so nice to eat outside and people-watch, and we were REALLY hungry because the restaurants weren't open during the morning EMH so we worked up a good appetite on Star Tours and Muppets 3D! I've been talking up RNRR to Lyzzie, she's still not sure about the upside-down part but she has been showing some interest. At DisneyQuest she rode CyberSpace Mountain about 6 times, and after the first couple times she started making upside-down tracks. The last one was nearly ALL upside-down! She'll be a true coaster girl soon. I'm hoping she'll be ready for RNRR on our next trip. I tried to get her to just go through the line with me and then use the chicken exit while I ride, but it was a no-go. She offered to wait in the store, but I wasn't comfortable with leaving her alone THAT long. 10 minutes is my max for that sort of thing, and even then I'm having heart palpitations the whole time. She's a great kid, but I swear she just does not pay attention to ANYTHING!
