5 more days

As I type this I am bouncing in my seat I just can’t wait to go to Disney World. I just hope my sometimes not so pleasant 2 year old doesn’t ruin the happiest place on earth! I am thinking if I load her up with enough sugar she will be happy too no matter what we are doing right? I told her at Disney World she could have ice cream every day, a balloon for her stroller, eat with Mickey & the Princesses pretty much I have painted out the perfect life. I am hoping she is OK in the stroller for most of the day because carrying her 37 pound butt around is getting pretty hard for Mommy especially when my camera is weighing me down. I rented a new lens that I want to try out and it weighs almost 4 pounds! I don’t think that will be going to the park every day. In the last I have just brought my point and shoot but after using the “monster” I hate to be without it! I am not sure my oldest daughter is as gun ho as I am she is focused on taking her final on Tuesday.

Way to keep your priorities straight Court!

Allright, Allright,Allright!!! I get it You are so excited, and at the same time you are stressed about the trip. The last trip to Disney the cruise director ordered shirts for all of us to wear with Disney charecters on them. I don't know why I had to be Grumpy. I don't want to be negative about the trip, so let's look on the bright side. We will assume that Mary despite everything that is going on around her wont mind being constrained by being in the stroller. Somehow I have this vision of Mary running through the crowd trying to catch Mickey Mouse while You chase her carrying the camera bag, draging a monster SUV stroller behind you, and screaming Mary, Mary, Mary. Look out folks her comes that crazy lady again. Why do I get the idea that with all the equipment that you are bringing that Court will be like one of those native bearers on an African safari.
Ok let's get positive. I'm onboard with Nana. Let's dress up Court. We could make this like American Idol. Everyone should post their vote to this blog for their favorite princess. Court will dress like the winning princess. She could also be Snow White. Wait where would we find dwarfs? I guess you are going to have to bring the Damato's along.
Why not go all out. Liz and Jim should dress up too.
Mickey and Minnie
Donald and Daisy
Lilo and Stitch
We could also adopt a family theme to go along with Mary being the princess. We would need three charecters like Huey, Duey, and Louie. We could add Goofy or Pluto to Mickey, and Minnie.
I have the perfect solution. TOY STORY. Jim could be Woody, and Court could be Jesse. The cost would be negligable. Jim already has jeans, boots, a flannel shirt, and a hat. You may have to buy a vest. Court could wear her boots. This seems to be a win/win solution. You would have to buy one costume I guess. Liz could be Bullseye.
Let's all get busy and vote. I certainly will want pictures, even though there are never pictures of Liz because she is taking the pictures. Speaking of pictures wouldn't have been cheaper to pay Lisa's way, and take her along to take pictures of all of you having fun.

I agree with your Aunt Lisa Courtney. Way to go, you can get excited after finals are over. It will be such fun.
Papa you are up to your ole self again. Glad to have you back making us all smile. You know it would have been a good idea to take Lisa to take the pictures so Liz could have been in some. Of course then there are 5 others in that family so it may not have been cheaper.

I wasn't talking about Lisa the sister-in-law who would bring the whole family. I was talking about Lisa the Professional Photographer who advertises on the Internet.

Cool! I get to go to Six Flags...but if Jim and Liz are dressing up I apologize in advance for them being blurry. Do you know how hard it is to hold the camera still while you are laughing your butt off?

I like the Toy Story theme, but Liz is definetely Buzz Lightyear. "from here to eternity" always at lightning speed. I resent the comparison of "The Damato's" as the dwarfs. The p.c. term is "Little People".

I think Courtney looks most like Belle, however the only man is Jim so he would have to be the Beast. Ha HA! Or he could be the strapping Gaston! Liz could be Mrs. Potts and Mary could be Chip. So cute!!

Actually Trisha and the kids had just come up here to go to Six Flags so I think that was on my mind, but we can blame it on Jim and Liz in costume!
