Sam Sears

For those of you who don't already know.....Our cat Sam has disappeared.
He got out through the garage 1 week before Christmas. We have not seen him since.
Brittany is distraught, she has put signs up everywhere in hopes for his return. Well it has been over a month and no Sam.
We tried about 2 weeks ago to get her a kitten......
It had to be put to sleep 2 days later. Lets break it down
1 Milo (cat) 35.00
Vet to test for FELINE LEUKMIA 44.00
Cost to put down and bury 42.00
Total cost to "rent" a cat for 2days 121.00

Oh my Gosh....We are done.
Sushi is now our one and only for ever and always.

Ok! not Christmas....But Disney Trip

I know I said I was going to post "Christmas with Toddlers", but I just got these back from Brenton, thought you might like to see them.

This is just a sampling of our Trip to DisneyWorld, Courtesy of MamaKay and PePa.
The kids loved almost everything....Brittany rode on this ride called "Mount Everest". (the highest point in Florida) She also rode everything fast, dark, scary, loud, high, and wet that she could.
She is truly a amusement park person. Wyatt discovered that he loved "Mickney" Mouse. Everywhere he saw (which was everywhere) "Mickney" he would yell out. Then the moment of truth......He got to meet and hug "Mickney"Mouse. It truly was a the crowning achievement of his 2 yr old life followed closely by his Wiggles Collectible Greg Doll (or as Brenton calls it his "Greg Action Figure"). Who by the way I forced my parents into Fedexing to us in Florida after realizing that we left his best friend on the bed. I know what kind of parent gets up a 3:00am, changes diapers w/o waking kids, loads everyone into the van after a late night of packing van forgets the BFF on the bed. I thought for sure my son was going to get amacipated and live out the rest of his life a failure because he Mom didn't love him enough.
Lillian was in Awe of the Prences (Princesses) She loves Ariel. I never thought I would say this.....Aurora Aka. Sleeping Beauty does not have a beautiful attitude. There I said it. Hope it doesn't come back to bite me in the backside.
We had all these wonderful dinners but the Dinner with the Princesses was Great. It wasn't the food as much as the Princesses. You get a 3 coarse dinner and the Princesses walk around and you get to get pics.
Ariel and Belle took the cake. Sweet, Patient and Genuine. Jasmine was also a very nice girl. Cinderella was kinda in a hurry but very polite. Now Aurora Aka. Sleeping Beauty.......She needs some training in Patience with Children, Kindness and please smile some more. For Heavens sake you are a Princess at Disney act like one.

Dinners: They have (Disney) a restaurant called the Coral Reef......The best food at Disney.
It was like sitting inside a giant aquarium being a fishes pet. By the way I got an owner (totally thrilled) she is a nice lady that calls me "Harold". She feeds me everyday and changes my.......Sorry got off track.
Anyway it was awesome. Food was wonderful and the Kids loved it. Except for Brenton and Wyatt. Wyatt was sick and Brenton stayed at the house with him.

Tusker House in the Animal Kingdom:
Great..Great..Great! It was an African Buffet very cool servers. Wonderful food. We explained that Kay's Bday was coming up and I have never laughed so much at dinner. The staff was hilarious about that. Truly a great place to go for your birthday. (if you are in Disney at the time, If not I hear that Macaroni Grill will sing for you and they are right in Kennesaw)

The Plaza Restaurant:
Great Food and Phenomenal service.



The Tommorw land terrace Noodle station:
Great Food....No service it was a walk up and order place. Noodle bowls were totally worth the walk up.

Hollywood and Vine: Coool for the kids (and Me) We ate with the characters from Little Einsteins and Jo Jo's Circus. They sang and danced, took pics with the kids and it was great.
Food was Great.

Akershus Royal Banquet Hall: This was the Dinner with the Princesses as mentioned above.
Food was Good not Great. Dessert was Great. They had a rice pudding kinda thing that was not very sweet....Rice Cream is was wonderful to me. Not so much to everyone else.

I must say that there is so much I can say about Disney.....The Christmas Lights with the snow were just great....the captain of the safari boat was hilarious.....
I think I will post more about it tommorw... it is kinda late and I am kinda tired.

Oh Oh Oh Look I swear I only had a single pregnancy with Brittany but Courtney here says different. LOOK AT THIS CHILD.....
