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!!

WDW

We are nearing the end of our

"COUNTDOWN TO DISNEY"!!
Today I made a few things for Henry and Grant to take {and wear}to Disney World. I didn't want to spend a small fortune buying a bunch of stuff in Disney, and I figured it would be just as cute and a lot cheaper if I just made it at home!!
I bought half a yard of some Mickey fabric {it cost a little over $2} a while back, and was planning to make the boys' some shirts to wear on the trip down {my kids have very few things with characters}. I had plenty of fabric, so I also made some cute personalized sippy cups {because my boys are camels and will want juice constantly} and some autograph books {still not sure if we will even use these, because the last time we were around big dressed up characters Henry and Grant both almost had a heart attack!!}.
We are now well stocked with Disney memorabilia....if only I could make myself start packing!!

Less than 48 hours before we leave!

Wordless Wednesday

Spaghetti in my sink.

Do you every have one of those days? Those days when all you want to do is hide in the closet and wait for the day to be over, with the hopes that tomorrow will be better?

Yesterday was one of those days for me.

It just seemed like everything was going wrong, even though nothing bad really even happened. I think I was just in a bad mood, which made everything else seem worse than it was!!

The boys were fighting and bickering.

Eli was being fussy.

Jason had to work late again.

I had a ton of laundry to do.

My knee was still bothering me.

My wrist was KILLING me!

{from what I can only guess was caused by

carrying around a SUPER sized almost 20 pound baby!}

And I still hadn't started packing for Disney World!

Then, when I was almost finished making dinner...

{Spaghetti: one of the boys favorite things to eat}

I lost half of the noodles down the sink!!

It was one of those moments when you laugh and cry at the same time.....

*

*

I was crying

{I was tired, the colander had hurt my wrist, and half of dinner was in the sink}

and laughing

{because technically spaghetti made me cry}

at the same time.

*

*

I think Henry and Grant thought I was CRAZY, and I'm glad Jason wasn't here because I know he would have thought I was CRAZY!!

*

*

We ate the spaghetti {it was extra saucy} that didn't land in the sink for dinner. After the boys were in the bed, I ate some chocolate for dessert and felt a lot better. Chocolate makes everything better!

I'm glad yesterday is gone!

Not Me! Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ (her blog) to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

This week, I did NOT leave a load of laundry in the dryer. I did not leave it in there ALL week long. Mine and Jason's clothes are all folding neatly and/or hanging in the closet, they are not STILL sitting in the dryer waiting for me to fold them!

*

*

I did NOT eat another piece of birthday cake this weekend! I wouldn't eat cake when I am trying to lose weight. Never. I also didn't eat a brownie at the same birthday party because they didn't look really yummy!

*

*

I did NOT put off starting to pack for our Disney trip. I do not have a bunch of empty suitcases with no clothes in them. We aren't leaving in less than four days and I don't have to pack for FIVE people in that short amount of time. No. Because I was smart and started packing already instead of procrastinating!

I did NOT go to Sam's and spend $20 on breakfast junk for our trip. I didn't buy honey buns, donuts, or muffins. I would never buy a bunch of junk food. I would buy fruit and yogurt and healthy food for my family! {Hey, we are going to be on vacation....you're supposed to eat junk when you're on vacation!}
