Be jealous

We just got back from our weekend trip to Disney.  It was a good trip and I would like to share some of the highlights with you so that you may be jealous.

We went to the Magic Kingdom on Friday night around 7.   We made our way over to Tomorrowland and rode Buzz Lightyear first, cause we've got our priorities straight.   Tivoli, me and Piper rode in one car.  Piper was in the sling on me and she just sits there lookin' around like "it ain't no thing. just sittin' here with my mama".  Tivoli shot 1000 points and I shot 0 because I was too busy watching the two of them.  I thought Tivoli's score was impressive for someone who couldn't even see over the side of the car.  When we first got on the ride and started moving she grabbed my leg and said "we not gonna be scared. we not gonna be scared" so apparently she struggles with fear on Buzz's ride.  

That would be the first time of many I would want to hug her into oblivion.

Afterwards, we discovered a dance party going on and thought it might be fun to go watch people do the cupid shuffle (is that what it's called? i don't know.  i'm not hip. i'm not with it.) while we waited for the rest of the group to catch up.

This is where we discovered that Tivoli has {insert famous dancer} inside of her.   I mean, girlfriend was having to remove her jacket and tutu because they were hindering her.   We did this dance party twice and the second time I got it on video. I also got video of Kaylyn busting what I think she would call a sweet move but the rest of us would call an awkward spasm.   I'm just sayin', Kaylyn...  At one point Carey schooled us on how to dance like Bill Cosby ( I just said schooled and I've never said it in my life.  It felt awkward.)   and I was even able to dance around for the first time in my life, in public, and not feel like a mentally retarded pigeon.   Oh, I'm sure I looked like one, especially considering I had Piper in the sling both times... but I just didn't feel it.  

It. was. awesome.  The highlight of the trip.  We could have stayed right there, danced until midnight and felt like we had gotten every bit of our 60 something dollars worth.  

But we moved on because there was a fireworks show and a parade to watch.  Oh and free candy to collect.  I now have half a bucket of candy to hand out for the trick or treaters.  Or to eat.  You know, cause it's not like I'm trying to lose weight or anything...    

We didn't even ride very many rides.

It was the most fun I have had in the Magic Kingdom in a long, long time.  

For the record, though.  When you go to this party (that lasts until midnight) with a 3 year old and two babies under 6 months, don't bother with costumes.   As I said before, the 3 year old ends up stripping most of the costume off in the process of having fun and the babies never get seen because they're trying to sleep and stay warm.  We don't even have a picture of them.  

Oh well...  there's still Halloween.

P.S. - In case you're wondering, Pipes and Tee-bo matched as bumble bees and Cutler-man was Charlie Brown.  He even had the swirly hair on his forehead drawn on with an eyeliner pencil.   It was amazing.

P.P.S - With the exception of a 20 minute nap DURING THE FIREWORKS SHOW, Piper rode around in her sling facing out all night and didn't cry or fuss at all.   As in, she was awake until 1am... and didn't fuss.  

As I've said before, she's just awesome.  That's all there is to it.
