This is how homeschoolers really are.


Disney Departure Eve

Tomorrow we leave for Disney World. We went last year (here's my post about What We Learned at Disney World), and also the year before (here's the October archive from the mobile blog in 2005, scroll down for Disney posts if you desire), but we're going again and we're not feeling apologetic about it. We love Disney World, in all its ridiculous splendor. To say that the children are excited is to say that the ocean is a little damp. Benny has been counting down the days, reading his "research guide" as he calls it (Birnbaum's Walt Disney World for Kids, by Kids), and planning daily itineraries in detail. Sadie is interested in the princess pins, the costumes we're packing, and in riding all the roller coasters she's too tiny to ride. That will be a complicated dance, I realize! Benny is keen on riding every death-defying one, and she would like to be right there with him, all 36 of her inches, barely big enough to ride Goofy's Barnstormer.

So, we are off early tomorrow morning. I will try to post every day still, to keep up with NaBloPoMo, but if you're interested in where we are at any given moment, I invite you to visit the mobile blog.

I leave you with this, our dinner plates for this evening:
