Disney Giveaway!

If found this and thought I would share it with you. They are giving away something from Disney everyday!! Today it is a Disney watch. You need to either leave a message on their facebook wall, blog about it, follow and tweet on twitter and/or subscribe to their newsletter. Not too hard!!! Too bad they aren't asking for pictures since I have a million of them from when we went almost 2 yrs ago! So I thought I would share one anyway.
So click here to enter the giveaway and I will hopefully remember to post the new contests everyday!
Have a wonderful day!!

We're Back!

We are back from our Disney trip and now I need a vacation..LOL! We did so much but that is what you do in Disney right? We had great weather and the kids did fantastic. We had only one major melt down the whole time we were gone. I thought we would have had more but Thomas did great for the 10 days we were gone. We went to one park a day in the morning and had some quiet time at the pool for a few hours every afternoon then went back out to the parks. It made for long days but the down time was well needed and deserved. I am tan and refreshed (to a point) and feel so good! It will be a few days until I am back in the groove of things but it is ok.

Bad news is that cranky day we had with Thomas...He started a cough on Wed which slowly got worse by Saturday. I took him to the doctor yesterday and the poor little guy has a double ear infection!! He never once complained about his ears! The only sign I had was when we were landing in NY he was complaining his right ear hurt and I thought it was just his ear wasn't popping on the way down. This happened all the time when he was younger, he never gave any signs of an ear infection except not sleeping. He is on meds now and should be better soon. I just feel really bad I didn't know!

I thought I would mention, that we kept the trip and getting on a plane from Thomas until we got to the airport!!!! I thought that was pretty good! LOL!

Here are just a few of the million pictures I took.

Enjoy!

This is a picture of my husband, Mark with Mark (blue Cape Cod shirt) and Thomas, along with his brother Ed and his two children Edward (black shirt) and Emily.

Here is a picture of us taken on the boardwalk. I hate pictures but at least I am tan!

Animal Kingdom. I got some great shots of the animals. We did the safari first thing in the morning and the animals were out and active. I love the photo.

NY City from the air. A perfect day to fly home.


Thomas and the Big Guy himself

Every child has to have Mickey Ears!




One pooped little boy :]

Thomas turned into a water rat while we were there.

This is him and Emily. It was great to have the cousins together on vacation. Thomas loves Emily and wouldn't do anything without her.

I have many more to share but I won't bore you too bad!

It was a wonderful vacation and it is nice to be home. Nothing beats home!!

Lazy? Break? Vacation Mode?

How about all 3!!
Yes, I admit it! I have been very lazy this past week and no I have not been ignoring you all!!! Things have been a little crazy around here. Thomas just started T-Ball, Mark is running Track for his school team, DH has had a crazy few weeks at work and I have been busy dealing with a messed up hip! The hip is something that happened a long time ago and is now giving me problems...nothing to worry about though. I also have to admit I have shut myself down a little early...vacation mode! We are off to Walt Disney World in Florida on this coming Tuesday. I have not been to Disney since 1996 and my DH hasn't been there since before Epcot!!! I have been trying to pack everything around my 4 yr old so he doesn't figure out that we are going on vacation. Yes I know that sounds rude but you don't understand! If I told him we were going on vacation I would have no hair left. For an example, We went to get our haircut yesterday and our appointment wasn't until 4:00, I made the mistake of telling him in the morning that we were going, and from the time he got out of school at a 11:15 he was bugging me every 20 to 30 mins if it was time to go! He LOVES the women that cuts his hair! So I do not DARE tell him we are getting on a plane and going to meet Mickey Mouse!!!! I do like my hair even though it is getting some grey in it :( LOL! I have clothes piled everywhere so it looks like I am being lazy and not putting them away but they are just waiting for the suitcases to come out. I have a boxed filled with snacks and breakfast stuff to ship down to the hotel and poor Thomas thinks it is for when they go camping...he said it so I didn't lie to him..LOL! I was busy this week getting all of the running around done, getting the animals ready for the sitter, cleaning the chicken coop and getting it ready for some baby chicks!! Hopefully soon after we get back we will have a few new chicks that we are waiting to get from someone down the street. They are supposed to hatch around the 18th of April.
Again, I am sorry to be so lazy in posting but I hope you all will deal with me for a little bit longer. I need this vacation and I think I also needed a break from this crazy, but fun, online world! I will miss everyone and I will try to post some short posts and pics when we are in FL. My DH now has a laptop that his company gave to him for the trip to catch up on emails...they just don't know I will be using it more for posting and checking emails and looking in on my stores ;). Thank you for your patience and I will be back very soon! Miss you all and I hope everyone is doing good :)
