Disney World!!!

The girls and I had a perfectly happy day at the Magic Kingdom with Grandma, Uncle B, and Aunt M.  (Daddy had to work...)  Beautiful weather, no long lines, perfect company.  Miss A and Miss M didn't have any idea such a place existed, and we walked around laughing at their awed faces all day.

Some quotes:
Miss A:  "It tipped over lots and lots!"  (After getting off Big Thunder Mountain, which she made the height requirement for by a whole 2 inches.)
"It's ok if I don't look..."  (On the Haunted Mansion ride, which she spent with her face plastered into my side.  But then Grandma convinced her to peek by telling her there were ghosts dancing in pretty Cinderella dresses.  Miss M watched nonchalantly for the whole ride.)
"I'm not scared, I'm just plugging my eyes..."  (When the Jungle Cruise entered the ruined temple, and it was dark.  Except she had her ears plugged, not her eyes.  ?)

Miss M:  "Pincesses!!!!!" (When she got to meet Cinderella, Belle, and Sleeping Beauty- 'Pincess Booty'- all at once.)
"Intense Giggling"  (During the entire Flying Dumbo ride.)
"WOW!" (In Small World, and when she saw the elephants on the Jungle Cruise.)

Mama:  "Miss A, what was your favorite thing today?"
Miss A:  "The teacups!  And the Princesses!  And all the rides that I likeded!  You rode on the carousel!  We all rode on the carousel!"

A Handsome Daddy...

Miss A:  Ginia is beautiful!  I'm so very happy we moved here to Ginia!
Mama:  Yeah, and in the summer, we get to move to Florida, so Daddy can learn to fly planes and copters.  (Miss M refers to helicopters as "copters", they are her favorite things.)
Miss A:  Lots of planes and copters?  Then Daddy will be hot.

Look at that lady's really BIG.....

Miss A gave her Aunt Morgan and Uncle Ben a funny quote while waiting for her mama to mail some packages. We were in the car and passing the time by 'people watching.' Not more than a few minutes had passed when a rather portly woman exited the building and was walking to her car. No one said a word as we watched the rotund woman saunter to her car, until Miss A piped up, " Look at that lady's really BIG..(here we held our breath waiting for her next words!)....earrings!" I guess the rest of us overlooked those really big earrings!

First Snow!

Mama, first thing in the morning:  "Guess what!  It SNOWED during the night!"
Miss A, running to the window:  "It SNOWED!!!!!  Fpercules, it snowed!!!"  (Hercules is her current imaginary friend.)  Running to the back window:  "It snowed back here too!!!!  Hooray hooray hooray hooray hooray!  Can we eat it?"

Miss M's Favorite Movie

We've been watching a lot of Cars lately...  A lot.  ("Watch.  Cars!")  Which led to the following comments by Miss A:  "We could paint Sally Boy (our silver sedan, named by Miss A some time ago) a red one!  Like Lightning!  That'd be wonderful!!  we could call our car Lightning Sally Boy.  Those two could be together..."

A Visit to the Aquarium

"Yucky the bug!"  -Miss M

"Fish and sharks have tails just like birds!"  -Miss A

Miss A, after visiting the aquarium.

Miss M (and Flopsy), and Master H, worn out

Miss M can identify and name crabs, lobsters, turtles, "fishies" and whales.
Miss A was most impressed with the turtle "testines".  (Yes, intestines.  They had a display with a turtle dissection.)

A Amazing Thing...

Mama:  What did you do today?
Miss A:  Practicing.  (Mama thinks hmmm.  Today we went on a walk and went to storytime...  Practicing?)
Mama:  What did you practice?
Miss A:  Uh, coloring.
Mama:  And what else did we do?
Miss A:  Playing outside, and walking.
Mama:  What was your favorite thing? 
Miss A:  The fun rides!  Member, I liked the fun rides and that train.  And I go up the hill and I tipped over!  That is a amazing thing!  (This refers, I'm guessing, to a fun day we had two weeks ago when Grandma and Grandpa took Miss A to an amusement park.  She is quite an adrenaline junkie, and loved the kiddie roller coaster.  She would have loved the big ones, if she wasn't too short to get on...)
