March Things :-)

So what have we been up to?  Well, not really too much exciting.  Kaelyn has her first "real" field trip tomorrow and she is VERY excited - she gets to ride a school bus.  :-)  One of her teachers said that all the "car riders" find it exciting since it's a novelty for them.  Tomorrow night, the three of us are going to Disney on Ice and then Friday starts Kay's spring break.  Other than that, nothing newsworthy.  So here are some pictures that you might find funny/interesting:

I think you can see why this picture is "different".  And yes, the little, pink princess camera is just a pretend one.  Kevin and I both feel a little bit sheepish when Kay makes the characters wait on her while she "takes their picture" before she goes up to see them - but that's just Kay-Kay and everyone is good natured about it if not just plain amused.

This was kind of funny.  Kevin and I thought it was cute that Goofy was dressed as a pirate back by the Pirates of Caribbean ride.  Kaelyn was NOT interested in seeing him at all.  She stated firmly (over and over I might add) as we waited in line, "Girls DON'T like pirates!  They just like princesses and fairies.  BOYS like pirates. "  We assured her that that was fine and she could just wait on us.  When we got up there, she actually did talk to him and get her picture taken after Kevin and I did because pirate or not, boy or girl, who can resist Goofy?  :-)

And for being so anti-pirate for no other reason than that she's a girl, we sure had a blast having a "sword fight" in the store right outside the ride.  Okay, maybe it was my idea but she thought it was fun too and I can't help it that I'm a kid at heart.

And then there's Daddy who is also a kid at heart at times though his comes out a lot more infrequently than mine.  We've seen these "build your own light saber" things before (light sabers are from Star Wars for those of you who are clueless about that kind of thing like I am).  Kevin always glances over longingly at all the little kids (and sometimes "big kids") making their own light sabers complete with lights and sounds. Ususally he walks on by probably for fear that his "I thinks Star Wars looks silly" wife will tease him.  But his wife has agreed to watch one once sometime before she continues to make such harsh judgments and this time Kay found them fascinating - I think maybe because of our previous sword fight.  :)  So, Kay and Daddy had a light saber battle (or whatever the battles are called when you fight with light sabers).  Anyway, I thought this was a cute picture of the two of them.

Besides her pretend camera, Kaelyn also had her pretend cell phone with her this particular time.  She wore the Jessie costume for just a couple hours after seeing Woody and Jessie.  She was a couple steps behind us and when I looked back and saw her walking along like this looking every bit like a cowgirl having a completely serious phone conversation, I just had to have a picture.  A lot of people were laughing as they walked by but she never realized that people thought it was cute, because she was so involved in her imaginary phone call.

She got this stuffed Dopey for Valentines.  He's holding a heart that says "Dopey loves Kaelyn".  She took him with us when we rode the Snow White ride.

I wish.  *Sigh*  :-)

Flower and Garden Festival is the ABSOLUTE best time to be at Epcot! I have so many beautiful pictures like this of flowers and plants and topiaries.

Kaelyn has to take all her "pals" with her to the parks.  They are stuffed animals (or in this case, plush characters).  She came up with the idea that they were her "pals" sometime back and she truly loves them.  You should see her bed when she sleeps at night.  She also has to bring them out to the living room if she is watching a movie that they are "featured in".  :)  We had them all laying in a pile on the floor except for Donald Duck because she had him while she was visiting Donald.  When Goofy saw them, he came over and sat down on the floor and started "playing" with them.  When she finished with Donald and saw Goofy sitting there with all her toys, she just thought that was the funniest thing ever.  We've never had anything like that happen before.  When they got ready for a picture, he had her sit down with him and made sure all the characters were around them.  She was thrilled!!!  :-)

Toy Story topiaries - oh yeah, and us - out front.
