Poe Party 2009, I think, was a success. I had a good time anyway. Thanks to all who attended. I didn't think to take pictures during the party, but aren't these the coolest stamps ever? I gleefully stuck them on the invites. I found them last year right after Poe Party 2008 and had been chomping at the bit to use them. It was fulfilling, despite the fact that the price of stamps rose, and I had to add 2 cent stamps.
And this was the door prize. I'm ridiculously proud of it, because I'm nerdy that way.
The kids also got to have a Halloween party this year.
We finally went to Disneyland a few weeks ago, despite Dan's moral opposition to the "Mecca to Consumerism." I think he even managed to enjoy himself. Thank goodness Therese came along though. I think without Grandma being there, it would have been a lot more stressful and a lot less fun. Since we were embracing the consumerism, we went ahead and paid for dinner at Goofy's Kitchen. Jasper didn't love Minnie . . . or Goofy . . . or Pluto, and he really, really didn't care for Stitch.
Laraine loved them all, but she was most fond of Snow White.
And here we are, in front of the temple to materialism.
Really? He's not rightwise born king of all England. And I was sure Moore was just the current spelling of Pendragon.
I'm glad they take after me where teacups are concerned. No nausea. Just happiness.
All in all, a good time was had by all, despite a meltdown over a Buzz Lightyear gun and some negative feelings toward the "invisible snowman." Maybe taking Laraine on the Matterhorn wasn't the best choice. Maybe we should have just purchased the gun in the first place.
The next day we hit the beach with Brian, Karene, Cole and Weston. It was grand. The kids loved it. Dan loved it. Therese loved it. Though I learned I'm totally incompetent with a boogie board, even I loved it. And it was free, which is good because we'd spent all our money at Disneyland.
The day after the beach, we went to an aquarium. It was free too.
And I'm just throwing this picture, taken by Bennett, on the end here because I think he really captured a certain Dan-ness.
