Epcot's Food & Wine Fest 2010

On Sunday we took a ride over to Epcot's Food and Wine Fest. "Ireland" had great beer, Guinness!

Hubby grabbed a pretzel and Pilnser at Germany.

The crowd was thick but the lines moved fast. We didn't taste much since we had the kids with us, but two of my favorites were the crab cakes at "Hops and Barley" (by America) and the Seared Beef with Sweet Potato Puree at "South Africa" (near Germany).

Who is Duffy? New at Epcot!


Who is Duffy the Bear? He's the new character at Walt Disney World's Epcot. Mickey was given a teddy bear by Minnie before a sea voyage. She named him "Duffy" since Mickey was taking a duffle bag on the trip.
(You can learn more by reading these four story boards.)
Duffy is available for autographs; he is very huggable:
You can buy clothes for Duffy at various shops in Epcot, and color him at the "KidCot" stations. If you are familiar with Disney's "My First Disney Bear" (seen below), Duffy looks very similar. You can buy Duffy Rice Krispie treats...or Duffy chocolaty cups!
What do you think of Duffy?

Fall Festival at Preschool

My two Superheroes: Supergirl and Spiderman Princess had "curly" hair and makeup. She told me she felt like a "movie star"! So cute. My son doesn't like his mask so asked me to "spike" his hair.

Hh is for "hat"


The preschool is learning the letter "Hh" this week, and today was "hat day" at Princess's Preschool. Most kids wore baseball caps or visors, but leave it to my little fashionista to bring it up a notch. She chose her Jesse cowboy hat and matching red boots!

I'm heading back to work

For the past six months, I have been stay at home. I really enjoyed it, especially during the summer, being home with the kids. But now that preschool is back in session, I am ready to go back to work. I have found a great part-time job as an Office Manager at a local nonprofit group. The job is 20-hours a week and works perfect with the kids' schedule. I start on Monday; wish me luck!
