Wal-mart at Disneyland?

Yes- even at Disney we could not escape Wal-mart. As we pulled into the happiest place on earth Wed we heard the tell tale tire clicking noise. Ian found the object lodged in the tire and decided he'd better get it looked at before we headed home. So- he took the car to Wally World today during nap time (which Amelia loves and Emery hates). We ended up with a new tire. Just another reason I love and hate Wal-mart all at the same time. Tire replacement anywhere there's a Wal-mart, but a 2 hour wait and Ian said no one understood him because he spoke English- yikes. Here are some pics from today. Emery had a really rough day- lots of crying- she's either totally exhausted or teething or has an ear infection. Maybe Wal-mart can fix her :)

Amelia and I enjoyed the Princess Faire this morning and had butterflies painted on our faces. I paid extra for "pixie dust" and will be enjoying that for at least three months- it's everywhere! The paint lasted until nap time and then promptly rubbed off on the pillow case- I bet housekeeping loves face painters!



Butterfly Kisses!



Daddy catches Emery in a rare happy moment today. She's too cute :)



Daddy and the girls waiting for the totally cool Pixar Parade at CA Adventure- it was amazing!



Dinner at Ariel's Grotto with Ariel (of course), Snow White, Cinderella, The Fairy God Mother (who mentioned, after seeing Emery, she can't wait for Cinderella and Prince Charming to have start having kids) and Belle (which Amelia was super excited about). So we paid $16 for Amelia to order a hot dog and mac-n-cheese and not even touch it. But, she did eat her carrots, green beans, and apples and had a great time "eating" with her fav princesses. Thanks for the great tip Joanna- she loved her "surprise." I think it's cute that Emery looks like she's waving here.



Princess Amelia- she decorated her own crown!



Princess Emery- no decorations on her crown.



Forget the princess thing- I'm Foodzilla remember!

I'm so glad Amelia got to see the princesses! Don't you just love what they charge for a plate of mac & cheese. I hope today was a better day for miss Emery.

I love the face painting ... you shouldn't have washed yours off, it's actually a really good look for you. I love the smile on your face in the butterfly kisses picture, you have the look of a mom loving her kid. It's really sweat.
