welcome:
Hello! After debating for a while I decided to go ahead, take the plunge and do a pre-trip/trip report for our upcoming trip. My husband gets tired of hearing about it, my blog readers are sure to lose interest and even my 13 year old gets a little tired of it after a while (a long while, but still).
Me:
(an oldie, but a very, very goodie)
I'm Jamie. I'm 37. I'm a stay at home mom to my three little (and not so little) princesses. I'm crafty, bookish and a little bit of a geek. I sew, I knit, I crochet, I read as much as I can get my hands on (even cereal boxes, if I'm bored) and I love t.v. Flat. Out. Love. It. I oversee the zoo (Juno, Luna, Amelia, Rory and Shelly) and provide financial support for my daughters menagerie (Chloe and Zoey). I've loved Disney for forever and this will be my fourth trip.
Dh:
Big Daddy.Not into this at all, but going, reluctantly, to make everyone happy. He'll be 38 in December. He telecommutes for a large health insurer (it's been way fun at our house the past few months). He roasts his own coffee, brews his own beer, loves hockey and the beach. This will be his third trip.
The Princess
My eldest daughter who is 13. She's a little mini-me in a lot of ways, but not her height. She is a few inches taller than me already and will probably get her height from her Daddy. She's certainly gotten her feet from him. She plays clarinet, is a good student and big sister and provides excellent care to her sister guinea pigs, Chloe and Zoey. She loves Lilo and Stitch. This will be her second trip.
Littlebit
My firecracker middle child and fellow Virgo, she just turned 7. She's shaping up to be not quite as tall as her sister. Not to diminish her sisters, but Littlebit is literally the happiest child I've ever met and if you don't believe me, even strangers have vouched. She's just a little, happy, sweet ray or sunshine. She's excellent at reading and math and takes ballet and tap class. She LOVES the Princesses, but Rapunzel is her particular favorite. This will be her very first trip!
Buttons
Our Grand Finale was 4 in June and, if I'm being honest, the thought of seeing this little bugger at the Magic Kingdom is enough to make me turn cartwheels. At our house, she has a lovely nordic name, but she only goes by one name. Mickey Mouse. She's bestowed Mickey and Pals names on everyone in the family and refuses to answer to her given name at all. She doesn't even call me Mommy anymore, I'm Daisy Duck (which is better than the Princess who got stuck with Big Bad Pete). She's super active, mostly fearless and an absolute joy. This will be Button's very first trip.
Gratuitous Animal Pictures because I love looking at them in other people's PTR/TRs
Juno!
Amelia (aka Pond)
Rory (also aka Mr. Pond or Mr. Williams)
Luna Lovegood
Zoey, the guinea pig wearing a hair boy.
