Whooohoooo! My wings! It's also nice to know if they pop, the balloon lady lives right across the street!!

Meeting the Disney Characters

The Florida Foster care program really has given us some really cool "freebies" like when the Disney Cruise line was in town and we got a special invitation to come see some of the characters. We had been at a Christmas party right before coming to see the characters, and we didn't tell Madi what the surprise was. We waited, and waited, and she waited soooooo patiently, considering there were a gazillion other kids there and it was hot. Thank goodness some of the staff came around to talk to the kids.

Her tired, hot little face when she saw Mickey Mouse come walking out.
Talk about excitement!! Problem was, after we finally got to see them, they herded us like cattle and each child only got to spend like 30 seconds with them.

We were also disappointed they didn't have more characters there. But hey, beggars can't be choosy I guess.

Her face says it all...it wass too hot, we waited too long and it was time for a nap.....lol.

mish mosh of pics

Madison and Miss B with hammers and nails?? What were we thinking?? Home Depot project. Actually they did very good. Thank goodness there are also prince's to play with.

Madi won her robot from school. Well....I should say I won the robot because I had to fill out addresses for a magazine fund raiser for school. At least she won.

The countdown chain for christmas.......

Yep, went to DQ in December. Gotta love it here.




Penguins Penguins everywhere.

Ice sculpture? Not in Key West!!

Hannah Montana rocks out with her CD player. She was dancing....kind of hard to get that from a picture....lol

Another normal night in the Deroussel house. Funny wigs, gloves, and magic wand as a guitar. Yep, that's our Madi.
