Universal Day Two
I can’t believe I kept you all hanging from my last post about Universal! Life’s been really busy, but I’ll have to save that post for when things are official. Suffice to say, I’m packing up to move. So day two Universal/Islands of Adventure! Hubby woke up with his first case of vertigo and said…
Giving Grace
We took the kids to the house the other day (which isn’t officially ours yet) and she was soooo excited. A couple of months ago Grace kept talking about how she wanted a house that had a porch like grandma. I didn’t know what the appeal was until we drove by a house and she…
Universal/Islands of Adventure: Day One
When we go to Orlando, which seems to be every other year, we do all things Disney. We heard Universal was for older kids and since our kids were young, we passed on Universal. Now that my two oldest are 13 and 11, we thought it was time for Universal and since we had done…
Grace Playing House
I just found this humorous post from 2007! Oh, these are the reasons we blog! To record every funny and embarrassing moment of our children. 2007 Grace (4 1/2) got a new Belle and baby Belle doll today and while playing I heard this: Grace as the Prince: Okay, Ariel and Belle. I will choose…
Hiding Mariposa
Grace has been asking for the Barbie Mariposa video ever since it started being advertising on television. In fact, she’s been asking for EVERTHING she’s seem advertised on TV. I usually say. Maybe for your birthday, and that usually quits her down. But there’s something about his Mariposa video that keeps her asking. I think…
Beaches
When my family and I vacation it looks something like this: Pack up the minivan and four kids and dog, drive to see family and squeeze in some fun sighseeing to a children’s museum or Disney World. Our vacations and not relaxing at all! It’s go, go, go with maybe a day at the beach!…
Tidbits With Timmy: Let it Shine
During Timmy’s birthday month I’m sharing tidbits with Timmy. Join me as I travel down memory lane. 2003 I read a story to my three year old about having three wishes so I asked Timmy, Mom: “What would you wish for if you could have anything in the whole wide world?” Timmy: “Light” Mom: “Why…
Tidbits with Timmy: Brotherly Love
Memories: Jan 28, 2004 Brotherly Love Today instead of going to the gym like I do every M/W/F, Timmy and I snuggled in bed. It was too cold to drag the kids outside (that was my excuse on Monday) and I was a bit lazy and too comfortable in bed. While watching Sesame Street we…
Tidbits with Timmy: Three’s a Breeze
More Tidbits with Timmy, memories of my eight year old when he was younger. Oct 17, 2003 I know over at the “Little House” they just love the “two’s”, but here at our home, we just adore the “three’s”. Don’t get me wrong we love the “two’s” also, but at “three” they’re just as sweet,…
Go Pets Vacation Island by Nintendo DS
My kids would be game fanatics if I let them. But I’m the game gestapo and limit my kids’ game time during the school year to the weekends and only 30 minutes a day! Yes, you read it right. I got sick of hearing the arguing and complaining about brothers hogging the games and playing…
