On Our Way to Walt Disney World 2012

September 29, 2012

~

We set out on our first trip to Disney World...in the car. 

Surprisingly the outbursts and fights were manageable.

Perhaps this was due to the multitude of super healthy snacks like

Mini Oreo Cookies, Teddy Grahams and Animal Crackers that

filled our snack bag.  The cheese sticks, fruit and lunch meat were

the less popular choices.  Shocking, I know.

Never Too Old...

...to drink out of a Big Bird cup.

This is my cup from childhood.

I still drink out of it.

It may or may not be, in this very picture, filled with an adult beverage.

This makes FIVE posts for September - maybe I will celebrate tonight

with my Big Bird cup. Cheers!

Hiding

Asher sleeping with all of his "friends."

Can you see him in there?

My Beautiful Babies

 Asher in one of his favorite shirts: Toy Story!

It is not his favorite shirt though -
the "lighter" Mickey shirt wins for his favorite.

He wears that one, every night, to bed. 
It is not fit to be put in a picture.

 Playing outside on a beautiful day. 

They look so grown-up - when did that happen?

Saela wearing a dress that I wore when I was a little girl!
It was quite nostalgic seeing my baby girl
wearing a dress that I remember wearing!

Mommy/Daughter Time

I was fortunate to be able to take the afternoon off on Saela's 5th birthday.  We were silly and goofy and then followed this up with a short nap - which I may have enjoyed more than she did?!? :)

School

The Teacher

The Pupils

Saela loves to "teach" school...here we are learning our letters.

Random Facts

See that itty bitty baby by Asher's right hand.  Yep, that's one of his favorites.  Guess what has been lost since June?  Yep, that little lovey.  I fully, 100% blame myself.  I KNEW not to send it to Michigan when Steve, Saela and Asher went up there in June.  It did not come home with him and I think since that time - so 60 days or so, there have been maybe hmmm 5 days that he has not said some version of "find my widdle baby and my widdle doggie."  Oh, how it breaks my heart!!

Here Saela is "organizing" the food during one of our recent grocery trips.  She is definitely my kid.

I'm not sure how, but life just seems to get busier as you go along.  Both of the kids are back in school - and so we have some semblance of routine but mix-in activities and homework (yes, homework in kindergarten) and the nights just seem to pass so quickly.  We've been busy with a couple of trips this summer too - to MI, MN and Kansas City MO/KS - we loved being able to spend time so much time with family and friends.  I will, hopefully, eventually, maybe have more pictures up sometime this year/decade/century. :) 

Our Sweet Baby Girl has also turned FIVE!!  We had a party for her on the 18th and some Baskin Robbins Turtle Pie on her actual birthday.  I hope to post some pictures of that, too, sometime soon.  Hope all of you are well! 

P.S. Aunt JoAnn - this one's for you ;)
