These are from Wednesday -- and I'm hoping to get pictures from the rest of the week posted by tomorrow. Here's to wishful thinking!!
*****
After we left Epcot on Wednesday we decided to head over to MGM so that Katherine could take Matt on one of her favorite rides -- the Tower of Terror. Needless to say, I was more than content to sit this one out and hang with Caleb. LOL!
While we waited for them to finish the ride, Caleb and I stood in line for the Beauty & the Beast show. It was a Broadway style show -- music, dancing, the works. I'm not exactly sure how it happened, but when Katherine returned, she got chatting with one of the ushers and they decided that she'd be the perfect candidate to be pulled up on stage and sung to. Talk about making a little girls day! She was beaming!!
Katherine was able to sit in the reserved seating -- as in --- it was a GREAT spot to watch the show -- basically the front seat. Right before the show was to begin, 4 guys came on stage and started singing. When they were done, they called her up on stage and asked her what her favorite song was. She went absolutely blank and muttered something about Beauty and the Beast. Convenient, huh??? They ended up singing "When You Wish Upon A Star" to a glowing 4 year old little girl. I'm not sure if you can tell in the picture, but she's holding one of their CD's which they gave her for coming on stage with them. It was one of her favorite moments of the week, and that CD remains a prized possession!
This picture was taken when they were asking her what her favorite song was. Looks like a lot of pressure for a little girl, huh??? LOL!
Here's a picture of my sister and niece waiting patiently for the guys to get fast passes for the Rockin' Rollercoaster. Again, another ride I'm not *really* interested in, but Katherine.... the only reason she didn't like the ride is because they wouldn't let her on! My little adrenaline junkie has no fear!!

Every night one park is open late for only the guests staying at the Disney on-site hotels. On Wednesday night it happened to be Epcot, so we made the trek back over there for some nighttime fun. We grabbed a bite to eat, rode on Soarin' and some other faves, and hung out in the International Showcase before heading back to the room.
Here's a picture of the girls in front of Spaceship Earth with the monorail going through in the background. I know I mentioned this before, but next time we'll be staying at a hotel that connects to the monorail!
It was a great, but exhausting day. Katherine fell asleep on the way back to the room, and the rest of us (with the exception of Caleb) couldn't wait to crawl into bed. We didn't get a crib, so Caleb slept in bed with me every night. He never had a problem laying down and going to sleep.... until tonight. All of a sudden, he got out of bed and disappeared. We didn't hear a peep out of him, so I got up to check on him. Guess where I found him??? Sitting in his stroller. He looked at me and said in a very matter of fact voice, "I ready to go home Momma". Alllllrighty then. Let me get right on that! LOL. Since he insisted in staying in his stroller, we pulled it in between the beds and he fell asleep there. Matt finally moved him back into bed when he had fallen asleep. Poor little guy. He was all out of sorts!

I can't imagine being SO ready to go to bed and then having a little one say to me "ready to go!" Holy cow. And, I love your response. "Alllllllllllllllready then" I can see you saying that too!
P.S. LOVE the picture of your Dad and Caleb. Very sweet. Another family wall picture. WHEN are we going to do that for you? Start saving money for frames ok?
