Today's challenge was to post a picture of your least favorite ride/attraction at Disney World. Hands down mine is the Enchanted Tiki Room in Adventure Land. This one is mind numbing and what makes it even worse is the main character is voiced by Gilbert Godfrey whose voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me.
Day 4 is to post a picture of when you really know you have arrived at DW. For some people it's when they check in at their resort, others it's when they walk under the train trestle at the Magic Kingdom or turn the corner on Main Street and first see Cinderella Castle. For me it's when we drive through that welcome arch! From this point on we are in for fun times ahead!!
The kids enjoyed a plate of honeydew after the all day carpet cleaning event of 2011. I lost the vote on furniture arrangement and everything is put back differently with wide open expanse of floor in the living room now.
This is Jeff's new best friend. He met him at Publix yesterday and brought him home! ha ha Last night and for most of today Jeff has steam cleaned our carpets..... the entire house. It has made a huge difference but the cleaning, vaccuming and furniture movement for the venture were not fun. Ask us about the bowl of petrified macaroni noodles that were found inside the couch.
When Madeline orders a hotdog with ketchup, she wants it this way. And yes she eats it all separately. Bizarre.
Tuesday night was the PTO music program: Go Fish and also the art show. That's Madeline on the first row, far right. She tried her hardest to get the back row when they came on stage but no such luck.
After the music program they had taken pictures of the students choice from class and hung throughout the hallways.
Madeline chose a vase with different shapes as flowers for hers. Didn't she do a great job!
Madeline and Abby
That's Madeline's on the upper left, first one.
Day 3 is to list your favorite Disney World memory. I don't have a picture from when this happened but the above is a good one of Madeline riding the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, or the WEDway People Mover. The first time she rode it was on our first trip in 2007 and she was so excited she screamed "IT'S JUST LIKE A DREAM!!!!"
Then this one was from the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party last year. Matthew was so excited to see Buzz Lightyear all he could do was jump up and down, so Buzz started jumping up and down and they jumped together! So fun!
For Day 2 we are to post a picture of the character you are most like. So, I took an online quiz to find out which I would be and the result was Bambi. What??? Anyway, here's what it said:
Tink is known for being extremely stubborn...... check.
And Scrooge McDuck, well....... check.
I'm taking the 30 Day Disney Photo Challenge, let's see if I can truly do it. For the first day we are to post a picture of ourselves at DW and list the 10 reasons you are a DW lover. Here are my 10 in no certain order:
I always figured these pics were taken from my one and only trip to The World when I was 6. I emailed them to a friend who is a Disney guru and she confirmed that she thinks this one above is in the queue line for Big Thunder Mountain RailRoad and she thinks the one below is from the line to the train station in Frontierland...
I plan to try and find these spots when we got back to DW this year!
At Bath & Body Works I found this hand sanitizer with the British flag and a tiara and it came out in time for the Royal Wedding. I had to have it! I almost don't want to use it up, there were only 5 bottles left when I got mine!
While I was there I got some of the new lotions for the summer! Love these!
Matthew got this book from Aunt Melanie and Uncle Bobby for Christmas one year and he discovered it again this week. He wants to have it read over and over and over, he LOVES it!
Here he's showing his favorite monster from the book.
We went to the bookstore after Mother's Day lunch today and he found the book, took it to a chair and sat to look at it. He loves this book!
My cards from Madeline:
And from Matthew:
Madeline worked all week on a box of my favorite things to give m on Mother's Day and I got breakfast in bed too! Then we all went to PF Chang's for lunch and it was sooooo good!
Flowers that Madeline and Matthew picked out for Dee for Mother's Day:
Good picture with Dee!
The leis were some dress up that Matthew put on her, she wasn't wearing them when we arrived! ha ha
Dressing up Dee!
Tuesday I was the volunteer to take Madeline's class to the lunchroom so the teacher could have a duty free lunch. Afterwards I helped take down old classwork in the hallway and put up new ones. This gave me the chance to take pictures of Madeline's work that was hanging in the hall.
I like how she used red glitter on her volcano.
These are dino dig kits the class is working on where they excavate dinosaur bones with little tools and brushes. Madeline is loving this!
Some more different variety of the iris have bloomed. Aren't these gorgeous????
Couldn't resist bragging on the blackberries!
See the little yellow blossoms?? These will grow into cucumbers!
Aunt Nancy and Uncle Jason came down Friday night to escape the power outage in North AL from the tornado. We had a great visit, it was just too short.
Jason got his fill of Nintendo DS, constant chatter, playing bears with Matthew and even a short round of Liv dolls with Madeline! Aunt Nancy was Uno-ed out I think.
Sunday we drove down to Tuscaloosa to see where the tornado came through. The National Guard is there and it looked like a war zone. Total destruction.
