Half-day fun!

The kids had a half-day on Friday. We decided to have a little fun because I planned to stay home all weekend. (I was exhausted from all my travel)!

First stop....lunch!!

Then some library fun!

Then some ice cream of course!!

We headed home and did some decorating! We've added to it so I'll have to take some more pictures!

And had some fun!

He was very serious about it! He wanted to do it last year and we never did. I have promised him we would this year. They all loved it!

My little unicorn!

Between outside play and just chilling...this is how we spent most of our evenings. Coloring with our new crayons!!

So much fun!!

Taylor visits!!

Taylor was on vacation in Orange Beach with her Grandparents and we got to go down one evening and visit with her!!

 

We had some dinner and then went for a swim!!

 

So happy!

BFF's!! So happy to see each other!

Not wanting to have their picture taken!

Silly monkeys!!

 

It was a short visits, but we were all happy to even have a couple hours!!

What a fun time!!!

 

Then we hit up the M&M store!

So many to choose from!!

 
We had planned on doing the Crayola Experience (they get to do all kinds of art activities), but we were exhausted.

We visited the store and got to fill a tin with crayons!!

Headed back to the hotel to change our clothes (& the dolls) and rest for a bit!

Then headed to downtown Disney to shop and mess around.

Lego store!!

Some mouse ears to end our trip. We were exhausted, but had so much fun!!! I am so glad that I had this crazy idea and that Jeff supported it. I think it was totally worth it and a trip we will remember forever!!

 

 

Lilly's 10th Birthday Trip, part 1

We finally got to have our real birthday celebration for Lilly's birthday!!! A girls weekend in Orlando with Tiffany and Grace. On the agenda was the American Girl store, the M&M store, the Crayola store and downtown Disney. What they didn't know is that we decided to surprise them by going to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!!!! We even made them costumes without them having a clue!

Road Trip time!!

Ummm...what...I don't understand. They totally didn't get it! It took like 15 minutes and me finally saying "We are going to Magic Kingdom and we are going to ride rides!!!"

 

BFF's!! They loved their costumes!

 

Seeing signs and so excited!!!

 

Right here after walking in from the car we realized....their costumes weren't the coolest. Already a HOT!!

 

OH MY!! Isn't this wonderful! I can't believe we actually did it!!

BFF's!! So glad we got some time together!

trouble makers!

 

Look at those big girls!! They would just take off and lead the way. No need for us!

Two of my favorite girls!!

They got to trick or treat and were so excited about the peeps! Grace said, "This is peepin' awesome" and that became our phrase for the trip!

 

Buzzlight year!

Where they belong!

 

 

Waiting to meet Minnie & Daisy!

 

So sweet!

 

We literally shut down the park. They were on the last ride on Space Mountain. They literally shut the doors behind us!!

 

Some fun decorations!

We didn't want to go. We had a blast....and then I see this....I almost cried!
