Dude, I am busting a gut here. I used to tell Eric that the name of our show would just be Eric and Rebecca..... I said the kids would never come out of time out so why add them to the title!

Rebecca, yes, we're on the same page....kids would be sentenced to a perpetual time out....until they're out on good behavior at the age of 21.....

 

[jordanyosh]

Hey Jordan, though I would come and pimp my brand spanking new PTR for the 2011 cruise and of course Peepfest 2012!

I'll be over!

 

[Sunset Cliffs]

The show is called "The Upside Down Show" and has two guys from "down under" in Australia. It's kind of a silly show but it's Dylan's favorite on NickJr and the hosts keep saying, "use your remote to rewind," thus, the kids believe everything is controlled by the invisible remote. Every night, Dylan says "pause" whenever he wants us to stop doing something, like saying "it's time for a bath". And now they believe every TV has a DVR to pause any show.....they almost don't believe in live TV broadcasts.....

On a separate note, Dylan surprised me tonight when he jumped on my lap to join Ashlyn and let out a pre-planned secret poof (and then proceeded to laugh about it). I'm not sure where he learned to sneak these poofs in but I have my suspicions about a certain uncle

My Dylan is exactly the same way. I tell my husband all of the time that we have raised a "TIVO baby." He can not stand commercials and says "Remote" whenever one comes on. When we are watching live TV, we try to explain to him that we can't use the remote....and that is when I realize that we are trying to explain how the TIVO works to a 2 year old. Wow, that was one of those things that we were stupid to not see coming.

So true, now we're trying to explain it to Ashlyn who's only 20 months old!

HI Jordy. Been ever so long since I've hung out here!! Work going well?? Life treating you ok?

Chapter 20. i swear I saw I ghost.

Sorry about the 5 days between updates and the absence over the weekend, but duty called with a little fun thrown in for good measure. I'll spare you the details other than the fact I had a DIS meet done West Coast Style. More on that at the end of the update.

Getting down to the update:

When I last left you I had left Bay Lake Tower and was on my way to the Magic Kingdom for Evening Magic Hours. I was to meet up with Winkers, Rosie and Blueyed Girl. I hightailed it over there (what does hightailed it mean anyway...Google...calling google). I got there a little before 11pm and ran into Cherie and Rosie underneath the train station..or was it Blue...I think it was winkers and Rosie. I think we ran into Blue in the Emporium somewhere and then it was off to take obligatory pix of the castle at night.

But first we walked through Casey's. I smelled it first then I saw it... Angels sang..... I had no idea Casey's had Sauerkraut!!!! I made myself a promise to make it back for some kraut even if the buns/hot dogs were nasty...nothing a butt load of mustard and kraut couldn't remedy....

okay back to castle pix:

Sorry a bit blurry, but I was sooo excited to see the castle. Not really, but it sounded good. Here's a picture taken of us taking pictures of the castle with my camera. but wait, I have my camera in my hand...or do I?

Off to tomorrowland:

We decided to head to Buzz Lightyear as it is one of Blue's DS favorite ride. I rode with Rosie. I actually did pretty good. Then off to TTA:

Then off to Space Mountain while Rosie went off somewhere and Blue's family went off to Indy Speedway. Winkers, Blue and I rode Space Mountain. Have you ever sat in the front? It's scary. No, really. Like life threatening scary. No, really. I thought I would lose my head or pee my pants a few times. I don't remember it being that scary. I'd sit in front again, but next time I'd wear my Depends.

After that it was back to Buzz and then off to Pirates and then to Big Thunder. Oh and by the way, lines? um, there were none. Maybe a short line for Space Mountain, but that was it. After Pirates, Blue went off with her family to catch some attractions in Fastasyland. We did Big Thunder and then with 20-30 minutes left before closing we decided to hit up Haunted Mansion.

There was no line. We walked right up to the front door, but it was closed so we had to wait. There was no one waiting for a while.....it got kind of creepy. Djay, cherie and rosie were having a bit of fun with me, but I was creeped out.

Look a ghost!!!!!

or maybe just another family that walked up.....

after the HM, we headed out. It was about 1:00am...one more thing....PIT STOP.

Clean, quiet, but a bit of water (maybe pee) around the toilets. I give it a double flush...and so does someone behind me

We made it to the bus stop by about 1:20am and back to Pop.

Cherie and DJay still look fresh:

Rosie fresh, me...uh, not so much:

After we got back to Pop, we all went our separate ways. Casey's was closed unfortunately causing me to go to my old stand by--the vending machines.

So regarding MK evening magic hours: In 2 hours we were able to do Buzz, TTA, Space Mountain, Buzz, Pirates, Big Thunder and Haunted Mansion and use the restroom. Not bad.

coming up next recap and link to the next part.

HI Jordy. Been ever so long since I've hung out here!! Work going well?? Life treating you ok?

Hey. Work is okay. More on that at some point soon.

Life is okay. More on that when it's appropriate...

 

[DisneyDerek]

I'll be over!

Uh oh, I just got hooked on another DIS thread and now a DCL one...as Wendy would say, don't get me started on another online preoccupation......

 

[MAGICFOR2]

Where's Leisa? She's usually the welcome wagon.




Awww. Poor Tammie. I'll send good weather your way. I didn't realize y'all got snow there this time of the year. Or is snow normal there at all?

Thanks Camille, yes it snows here quite often in April we could have 30 degrees one day and 70 the next. I kid you not. We really don't have Spring until Summer. It is still in the 20s at night most nights here.

Maybe the policeman won't show up on the night of your court date and you will not have to pay!! I got out of paying once for that reason!



Congratulations! Are the other 3 girls or boys?

Hey, that's a thought. I heard they don't reduce your ticket anymore in court, so I was just going to pay it, but maybe I'll appear - can't hurt.

So far we have DGS 5, DGD 21/3 and DGS 2 1/2.

For typing this all from a phone from an "unknown" location...didn't your legs fall asleep?

According to Biscuit, all is well when you have a Qwerty!

I feel the same Derek. What bugs me is that "other people" always get to see the but not the !!! Drives me crazy!

We had such a rough time yesterday that I told Eric that he needed to pick one! He asked why....I told him that I didnt think they would both survive the day! His response was "I cant pick one right now....they are both acting psychotic, Lets let fate decide"!!!!!!!! In the end, we let them both live but I don't know how long it'll last!

I"m just glad they were under the train STATION!

But first we walked through Casey's. I smelled it first then I saw it... Angels sang..... I had no idea Casey's had Sauerkraut!!!! I made myself a promise to make it back for some kraut even if the buns/hot dogs were nasty...nothing a butt load of mustard and kraut couldn't remedy....

YES!!!!! kraut can make any crappy dog taste a million times better!!!! Mmm!!! And I think you have the wording about a butt load, being just about right there.

Then off to Space Mountain while Rosie went off somewhere and Blue's family went off to Indy Speedway. Winkers, Blue and I rode Space Mountain. Have you ever sat in the front? It's scary. No, really. Like life threatening scary. No, really. I thought I would lose my head or pee my pants a few times. I don't remember it being that scary. I'd sit in front again, but next time I'd wear my Depends.

Yes!! It IS scary. I always wonder if I'll lose my head in that ride EVERY time I get on it! It's one I NEVER put my arms up in. Ever.

After that it was back to Buzz and then off to Pirates and then to Big Thunder. Oh and by the way, lines? um, there were none. Maybe a short line for Space Mountain, but that was it. After Pirates, Blue went off with her family to catch some attractions in Fastasyland. We did Big Thunder and then with 20-30 minutes left before closing we decided to hit up Haunted Mansion.

Don't ya just love MK EMH?? NO lines ARE the best!!!!!

There was no line. We walked right up to the front door, but it was closed so we had to wait. There was no one waiting for a while.....it got kind of creepy. Djay, cherie and rosie were having a bit of fun with me, but I was creeped out.


Look a ghost!!!!!

that apparition is just scary!!

Clean, quiet, but a bit of water (maybe pee) around the toilets. I give it a double flush...and so does someone behind me

maybe pee?? I think not.

Rosie fresh, me...uh, not so much:

At first I read this like Rosie's getting fresh. Had to read it twice.

So regarding MK evening magic hours: In 2 hours we were able to do Buzz, TTA, Space Mountain, Buzz, Pirates, Big Thunder and Haunted Mansion and use the restroom. Not bad.

coming up next recap and link to the next part.

THat's a ton!!! I'll say it again.... Love MK EMH!

[DisneyDerek]

[jordanyosh]

I"m just glad they were under the train STATION!

Yes.

YES!!!!! kraut can make any crappy dog taste a million times better!!!! Mmm!!! And I think you have the wording about a butt load, being just about right there.

Kraut is soo good, but soo deadly....

Yes!! It IS scary. I always wonder if I'll lose my head in that ride EVERY time I get on it! It's one I NEVER put my arms up in. Ever.

I don't think I've ever sat in front before..

that apparition is just scary!!

I don't even know if he's wearing make up or he's got scruff at the age of 10.....

maybe pee?? I think not.

Never want to assume....

At first I read this like Rosie's getting fresh. Had to read it twice.

U got it right the first time

THat's a ton!!! I'll say it again.... Love MK EMH!

It's great! I would highly recommend it.
