Not Me! Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

I did NOT spend all week at Walt Disney World in Orlando Florida.

It was NOT super cold all week, and it definitely wasn’t record low temperature for Florida.

I did NOT eat way too much junk food and way too many sweets. I would never do that. I always eat healthy salads and fruit, always. No chocolate chip cookies, caramel apples, rice crispy Mickey’s, or ice cream for me. Never.

I did NOT bribe my kids to get them on rides at Disney World that they were scared to ride on. {They DID have fun once they got on the rides!!}

I did NOT wear shorts this week in 30-degree weather, hoping that it would ‘magically’ get warmer than the weatherman said it would.

I did NOT pay $20 to get the boys’ faces painted at the Magic Kingdom. I would never spend that much money on a little bit of face paint just because we had an hour to kill before our reservation for dinner.

I was NOT super ready to come home by the end of the week.

We're home....

and SICK!!

So instead of making my head hurt even worse {I have a major sinus infection/cold} by trying to remember what we did all week in Disney, I am going to give you all a quick day by day overview and then post some pictures!

Bought socks for the boys to wear as gloves. Took a trip around MK on the train. Got soaked on Splash Mountain. Found a paintbrush on Tom Sawyer's Island {and got free ice cream!}. Watched most of the Spectromagic Parade.

Packed and loaded the car. Went back to Epcot. Rode the Nemo ride again. Visited Canada, United Kingdom, Japan, France, Italy, and USA. Ate lots of snacks {we had 12 credits left to use in one day}. Drove home. Got Eli. Went to bed exhausted.

We had a SUPER time at Walt Disney World. But we are glad to be home....now if only I could get everything unpacked!

P.S. I will probably post more pictures when I start feeling better.

P.P.S. If you enjoyed reading about our adventures at Disney, head over to Andria's blog and check out all the fun she and her family had at Disney during Christmas.

Disney World: Here We Come!!

I took a picture of the boys before they went to bed tonight {all decked out in their Mickey shirts and SUPER excited about going to Disney World!}.

We are leaving in about an hour and a half and I am still up {at 11:30 p.m.} packing and getting together the last little nit-picky things {camera, DVDs, sunglasses, batteries}!! Around 8 tonight, I took Eli {and all of his baby stuff} over to my parent's house. I got his bed and toys set up for his 'home away from home' for the next week!! I fed him his nighttime bottle and put him down for the night. While I was gone Jason got Henry and Grant in the bed{and cleaned the kitchen for me!!}, and then he got in the bed to get a little bit of shut-eye before midnight {and the SUPER long drive to Orlando}!!

So here we are T minus 1 1/2 hours and I am too pumped up on adrenaline to even think about trying to fit in a power nap!! I'm sure I will pass out before we are an hour away from our house, but for now I am too excited {and too worried that I am forgetting something important!!}

DISNEY WORLD: HERE WE COME!!

P.S. We are taking the computer with us and {assuming we have Internet access} I am hoping to try and post each night {stuff will be much easier to remember than if I wait until we get home}!! We'll see how exhausted I am and how much I actually have to post!!
