Day # 1 Disney

We spent the latter part of last week at Disney. We started out at Hollywood Studios. The kids loved it. And, it got us in the holiday spirit. They have the streets of America covered in Christmas lights. We were actually tired and ready to head home, but I refuse to leave until we saw the lights. It was beautiful. They have fake snow falling on the streets. Carson loved that and tried to catch it.
There is a relatively new Toy Story Ride. It is 3D. Carson and I rode it once, and then took Jeff and Macie back. They both liked the glasses.

The first time Carson and I rode, this is what Macie was doing. She took a short nap in her stroller every day. I think Carson would have had there been a place for him.
Disney does a great job of decorating. It is truly magical to be there this time of year! If it was the week after Thanksgiving when the holidays should officially start, it would be even better.

I love this picture of the kids once the lights came on. I considered it for our Christmas cards, but I decided on a different one.

We had a great time with a small crowd. Jeff got to ride Tower of Terror and the Rockin' Roller Coaster waiting less than 30 minutes. We tried to get Carson on Tower of Terror, but he was not willing to try it this time. He was still too short for the roller coaster. I loved the Beaty and the Beast show. The kids favorite show was Playhouse Disney, but Macie also loved the Little Mermaid.

We had an early night so we could get ready for another big day.

Funny things to Remember

Macie has been up to a few things lately that I really want to remember. Because a couple of them are funny, I thought I would share.

First, she still has the very sweet toddler talk
Leighli is our neighbor Eli
Cindalella is Cinderella
Chick-a-lay is Chick-fil-A
I wish I could type how she says Shahla (Addison's mom).
I really need to get a few on video.

Now a couple stories.

This one is very funny, but I am going to have to use a few code words. I think you will be able to figure it out. A couple of weeks ago, Carson has a couple of bumps on his part. Jeff was trying to help him with the issue. But, it was a little painful for Carson. Macie was around when this was going on. The next day, she was doing something with her own parts. I told her to stop or she would hurt herself. She looks at me and with her sweet baby voice she says "Like Carson hurt his tail." It took me a couple of seconds to catch what she was saying, but once I did I was rolling with laughter.

Yesterday, I subbed at the pre-school. I needed to get all of the mess picked up around here. So, when Carson got off the bus, I told him I would pay him a dollar to help me get the toys picked up. I would not aways pay him, but the mess was made by Macie. So, it seemed unfair to require him to clean up after her. I was giving him a little while to play first. He, on his own, started cleaning up all the mess around Macie's kitchen. He came into the family room carring half a stick of butter. He says look what I found in Macie's kitchen. I guess she took it off the table the night before while we were cleaning the kitchen. In her mind the fridge in her kitchen is the same as the real one.

I should probably post one of these once a week. There is always something crazy she is doing!

Just a couple pictures

More coming soon....

One of the many reasons

the cat drives me bats! Can you tell where he is? He drives me bats, but he lets the kids drive him bats. He is getting so big. Carson said this morning "Troy is almost to heavy for me to carry anymore!"

I am still working on getting Halloween pictures together!

Now it's his turn

I promise a Halloween update with pictures in the next couple of days. But, I thought Carson deserved a post about being sweet.

This weekend, we were driving in the car somewhere. Somehow, we started talking about when Carson is older. I said "By then, you will be able to drive a car and go on a date" Carson got really animated and excited and said "Cool" I thought it was cute and asked him who he would take on a date. Carson quickly and immediately said "You!" Jeff pointed out that Carson just thought it was cool that he would be able to drive, but I might be holding him to taking me on a date!
