Sunday Snapshots: {Still dreaming of Disney}
Everyday.
Everyday, the kids “play” Disney World. Everyday, they shout out, “Mama! Mama! I found a hidden Mickey!” Yesterday, Evan found one on his bedspread…which is a quilt…a plain blue, non-Disney quilt with white circle stitching. Of course, it doesn’t help that we got new iphones (was going to post on that alone but thought it was just…wrong), and Mark has a Disney app that tells you how long the current wait times are. I confess that we have been known to sit at the dinner table and have contests with who can guess the correct wait time. I usually win (it helps that Drew guesses completely odd numbers like 150,000 minutes). With Lydia’s birthday on Thursday, I took the older kids shopping Saturday to buy her some gifts just from them. They insisted on the Disney Store, of course.
I didn’t pull my camera out this Sunday for any snapshots. But, I did find these three pieces all created this Sunday. They definitely serve as snapshots in and of themselves of how my children are currently spending their free time.
From Ashlyn.
I wonder if her list of new year’s resolutions when she’s 11 will include being a Disney character. Why wasn’t that one on my list?
From Drew (in case you couldn’t read his name at the bottom which shockingly has the right number of lines on the “E”). I wonder if he loves me in other places too…in a house with a mouse? here or there? anywhere?
From Evan. I cannot reveal his grand idea of the new wii game he is designing and submitting to the directors of Disney (wouldn’t want to jeopardize his chances of paying for all of our children’s college tuitions), but I can tell you that these are just a portion of some of the villains from it. My favorite is probably the curst pirit though Zurgs spaceship in the top right corner is awesome.
I asked Evan, “When are you guys going to stop talking about Disney World everyday?” He answered, “Never! I’m going to talk about it until I die and then when I go to heaven, I’ll talk about it with God.” My first thought was that God wasn’t going to be so interested in that conversation. But, then I thought about Evan and how much joy it must bring to His maker when he simply enjoys the world around him. That might be an interesting conversation.
