The Happiest Place on Earth!

There is literally dancing in the streets...

Say Hello To My Little Friend...

Lunch at the Whispering Canyon

S decided on crayons for lunch...

Apparently, if you finish your coke before your meal comes the waitress will think that you are REALLY thirsty and bring you a gallon of coke.

But don't ask for "a little water" or you will get this...

J asked for a fork - and got one!

Greetings From the Magic Kingdom!

After six flights in four days I am finally kissing land. The first morning in Orlando brings us the happy "H" kids, giggles and all. The Mister told them that there was a gator outside our window and the three-kids-in-one-room noise immediately stopped as they intensely looked out the window for the gator. They all sat at the window long enough for me to dig out the trusty camera for this shot....

The Swiss Family Treehouse lives on in Florida!

The Jungle Cruise (it's really great with a funny skipper, which we had.)

Totally content on the train.

My Dogs Are Barking

Thanks, Alyssa - I now know the term for my condition tonight.

This is what I wore...

to the fancy dinner in Pittsburgh tonight that was 5 blocks away from our hotel with sidewalks like this...

P.S. I still miss my Mister, who just works so hard - at least we're both out of town at the same time this go 'round.

Thanks Global Warming!

This is what we woke up to in our neck of the woods...

We shouldn't be seeing snow in the trees until they have shed their leaves. So much for getting the deck painted before winter.

Mister's On A Work Trip & I'm Bored

Happy Birthday Sister!

Mi Casa

Top Ten Stats:

10 rooms

9 days since the deed was put in our names

8 wall paper borders to remove

7 mature trees

6 shelves in the pantry (Yeah, a pantry!)

5 front windows for cute Christmas wreaths

4 bedrooms

3 parking spaces

2 bathrooms

1 AWESOME MOVIE ROOM

Now the 4th white house with dark shutters on the Mister's side of the family... A lovely Koi pond with no Koi - it died. You can barely see it, but that red deck in the middle is A-MAZING!! We love it. It has already become the natural gathering place because of the built in benches. There are trees surrounding all sides so the backyard feels very private.
A very kitchy kitchen, but it looks much better with our stuff in it now. The previous owner had a bazillion knick knacks all over the house. The Mister has already pulled out over 50 nails and he's not done yet.
As always, we love you all and you are welcome anytime. Well, not anytime. Maybe not in the middle of the night (or early in the morning for that matter) or during Boston Legal, but any other time.
