We've had one of those C-R-A-Z-Y weeks...the kind of week that even a weekend doesn't help you recover from. Thankfully, this next week looks calm and quiet. We ate brunch at Spoons this morning...my two boys enjoying our time ...
...for Kensington to get a king-sized bed. Seriously...look at all of those stuffed animals! You can't even see her face in this picture! Geez! And if I remove one secretly, she'll instantly walk in her room and notice. I allow this madness because she is a great sleeper. Mama needs her kids to take naps, so whatever makes that happen, can happ...
Last weekend (I know...I'm behind), we celebrated Andrew's birthday yet again (we celebrated his actual birthday in Disney World here).

After 4 full days at the parks, we were desperately needing a day of nothing. The Yacht Club Resort had amazing pools and a faux beach, so that was where we spent Day 6.The pools opened at 10:00 and we showed up at 9:55...as you can see, my kids were eager for them to let us in.Water! Water! Water! She was so happy to be back in the water (it's been since August!).Not exactly the best picture of Dad, Andrew and me but...
Day 5 took us to Hollywood Studios where we screamed like little girls on the Tower of Terror ride :).Me and my little girl who did not ride the super fun (and yet scary) ride.The big guy himself! Here's the thing for all of you Disney-virgins. The characters (especially Mickey Mouse) don't just walk around the parks all the time. They are brought out at specific times to specific locations to meet kids and you must wait in a long...
