Which is the real Mary Poppins?

One of these pictures is Lexie dressed up for Halloween; the other is Mary Poppins in the Magic Kingdom. Which is which? Lexie wasn't too sure about meeting the characters though - she got very shy.

Still having fun. The park was very busy today - the girls loved Breakfast Cinderella this morning. Cal loved Thunder Mountain. Back tomorrow for more...

Expedition Everest

The Yeti roller coaster! Go up mountain, have track ripped up by Yeti, go backwards, come down fast. Callum had his eyes closed the whole way, but he did it!

Today we did Animal Kingdom. Tomorrow, the girls have breakfast with Cinderella, then we do Day 1 of the Magic Kingdom. Tired already...

Disney!!!

A couple of snaps from the Disney Pop Century Resort, where we spent one night. We are now in a house just a few miles away from the Magic Kingdom!

Art and Reports

Here is Callum's art from the Midsouth Fair:



He and Isabelle also got their report cards today. Both did great. Callum got on the Honor Roll (meaning he got mostly A's and E's [Excellent], with a couple of S's [Satisfactory]) also got a Math award for averaging 100% over the past 6 weeks (which, if I can do my math, means he got everything right!) Belle had almost all 3's - meaning she has mastered the skill, with a couple of 2's.

Good job guys - we are so proud of you.

Lexie didn't get a report card, but she is getting used to school, and doesn't cry all morning now.

And the poll says...

...update more frequently!!!

A full 100% of respondents think I should post more. All three of them. So, for them, here is another post. Enjoy.

PS - who was number 3?

Cub Scout

Callum joined the Cub Scouts this year. This is him in his uniform for the first time. Was there this much sewing when I was a cub? Thanks, Mum! It's amazing how you only realize these things later! Our first camping trip is at the end of October. One parent (i.e. me) has to go with him. Camping at the end of October... glad we are not in England!

No Prizes :-(

We went to the Fair this weekend, and saw Callum's picture. It looked great, but did not have a ribbon on it. There were maybe 100 pictures from each grade. He was disappointed, but OK with it. We went and won four goldfish instead.

Pennie also had LASIK on Friday, and can now see without glasses! The sleeping pills knocked her out a bit and she slept a lot, but thats what they wanted.

Seems 100% of people want me to update more frequently so far too, according to my poll! Yup - that's both me and the other person who voted... thanks Mum :-)
