Deal or No Deal?

Mark and I have always said that Madelyn would make an excellent lawyer. She is always trying to present things in such a way as to win us over or her sisters or brothers. She's much more successful with her siblings than her parents, but we appreciate her effort and thinking.

Today she was thinking about Disney World. Our girls ask us regularly when we are going back. We always give them some vague answer like, "Someday" or "When your brothers are tall enough for the rides". The truth is we'd love to take them but we'd love having a landscaped backyard more. Madelyn explained to me this morning that Disney World is for exercise because there are so many walking areas. She argued that we need to go because we like walking and exercising, therefore we'll like Disney World. How can you argue with that logic?

well, who could argue with that?! We'll just take her with us when we go in November...assuming we can afford to go in November :-)

#3 saw the "You're Invited" piece of mail we got yesterday to Disney World. Some nice package deal, I'm sure for families of 4. :) Anyway, she thought it was like a birthday party invitation, and she asked, "Can we go, Mom?" I said, "Well, honey, we're going in 2012. That was our plan." "But I want to go TODAY!" was her response. Oy vey.
