A few more Disney pics (family shots)

We finally got our Disney Photo Pass pictures and I have been meaning to post a few. We do the photo pass since it is the only way we get family shots at Disney....

Disney World 2008 pictures

These above two pictures are of the kids around the resort.

I have posted very many pictures below. We took so many and I wanted to share some of them. I tried to select some of the highlights. Will get a video up soon.

The Party! Sean's 5th Birthday!

Our sweet boy will soon be 5 years old. We will be at Disney World next week for his big day so we had his party before we leave.

If you know us Murphys at all then you know that we love to celebrate our kids and we love to entertain......

This year he wanted Toy Story! I was a little apprehensive at first. Every where I looked I was coming up empty handed. I was looking for the specific theme. Then I decided to watch the movie again and get creative with it. So, I dove right in and tried to make it work. I found that he already had many of the toys from the movie so we would use some of those to decorate with. I went to Party City and found the little green army men, sheriff's badges, little tiny barrels of monkeys, little magic 8 balls and many of the toys from the movie. We got a costume for Buzz off eBay and I made the Woody vest and hired a couple of AUM theatre students to play the part of Buzz & Woody.

We recreated "Pizza Planet" in the kitchen. I Foiled out the windows and had glow stars on the walls and had the ceiling totally covered with shooting stars and had black light for the really cool effects. It was a huge hit. (sorry, I had no pictures of that at all) I borrowed much of this from a friend and we had pizza delivered from Papa Johns!

For games... We already had the blocks for the "Buzz's block stacking contest" and all the Mr Potato heads and body parts for the "Mr Potato's crazy mix up game". We had a friend get us some traffic cones and had an obstacle course! We had a few other games and Emilie made a sign that said "Woody's waterin hole" and put it above the drink table. Julia decorated the cake in the "Andy's Room" theme (see picture at the end) . The tables were decorated in reds and browns for Woody and greens, purples and silver for Buzz. Sean said it was the best birthday ever and everyone seemed to have a great time.
Sooooooo, We are looking forward to next year, or I guess Lily's in December. That gives me about 6 months to rest up. Hummmm!

Our Pirate & Princess

These two are definitely Buddy's kids! They love to dress up! They love to perform and they love the camera. We did a photo session at ASF (Alabama Shakespere Festival) yesterday. The kids were so funny saying unprovolked things like "aarrrr!" and "your majesty"!

These costumes do however have a specific purpose. We are going to Disney in a few weeks and they are having a very special event called the Pirates & Princess party which we will be attending. This will happen after dark in the Magic Kingdom and last until midnight. There will be special fireworks and a parade themed around pirates and all the princesses. They hand out loot bags and treasure maps and you go around searching for the treasure. Plus many rides will be open. I am 1000 times more excited then they are at this point.....Sean is finally going to be old enough to do the Pirate Cruise and Lily, the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique! Sean will be celebrating his birthday once again. We went in spring last year and loved it so we now have a new favorite time of year to go.

Spring Break has started out great. The weather is nice and we have a ton of things planned (zoo, park, movies, cousins etc.). Buddy is teaching so it will just be me and the kids. I am also going to try to catch up on a lot of my sewing for Lily's Couture that I have gotten behind on. I started trying the custom hightops. I have not posted them on the website yet. They are polka dot with groisgain for laces. I will try to get a picture on the couture site soon.
