A crazy time at Disney......

Disney is one of my favorite places on Earth.  

And this time we were there with some of my favorite people.

Sounds like a perfect combination.....right?

It was a memorable week.

But, there were some serious challenges!

4 Adults....

8 children....

and RAIN, RAIN, and MORE RAIN!

Her name was Tropical Storm Andrea.

She definitely rained on our parade!!

The last 2 days the rain stopped and Mr. Sun showed his face in FULL FORCE!

Therefore, every vacationer came out to try to get their monies worth.  

Our camera did not capture many pics due to the rain.

Here are a few fun pics we did get.

He said it was the worst birthday ever....

But the pics look like he was having a good time ;)

   

Bedtime stories by Daddy...

For the most part Baby Girl did not enjoy the trip.

She liked climbing on things and playing in the water fountains....

but hated rides, sit down restaurants, and she started refusing a poncho after the first couple days.

Naps broke up our time and one night she coughed so hard she threw up in her bed.

I am thankful that this is the last time I will be at Disney with a child in diapers.

(But I can't wait to take her back in a few years!!)

So....if you asked the children to tell you about the trip you would hear a different story.

At the end of the week I asked the older girls what they thought. 

IT WAS AWESOME they all replied. 

This was our second vacation of the year.

(The first one was Spring Break at the Beach)

Weather wise....we are 0-2.

Family time we are 2-2.

catch up....baby girl's birthday

I'm way behind....

Here are a few pic from Baby Girl's celebration....

Baby is TWO!

I'm late....her birthday was last week...but I have excuses...
I have 4 kids,
 no kitchen,
 and we have been battling pin worms.

(My husband is going to DIE when he reads that I am putting it out there.)

Worms....in the rear.  

Seriously....it's making me CRAZY!

I hate when I feel crazy.

These worms are making me crazy!

Little Man has some unwelcome friends and it's effecting my whole being.

We've treated him and the rest of the family.

TWICE...

He still has them.

CRAZY!!!!

There is a pill out there that is more effective than the medicine that we took.  Nobody has it.

I was willing to call every pharmacy in the Carolina's to find it.  

That was my mission last night.

It only took 6 phone calls and I found it.

Walmart.....I should have figured!

I pray that this will kill all of those disgusting little critters and I can move on with my life.

I know....gross!

Moving on...

Kitchen.  

We tore it out and we are putting a new one in.  Piece by piece.  

And although this should be a super crazy time....my husband is calmer than ever.

Working with wood and parts and his hands is so therapeutic for him.

I love seeing that.

So, we are putting a new kitchen in so we can then put our house on the market.

It's a horrible time to sell a house, but we are giving it a shot.

We are not moving far....just closer to our church community.

Now....for the fun part!

Baby Girl is TWO!  

We have not officially celebrated yet.
Grandma will arrive soon and then we will have her cake and sing her the special song.
But, I must celebrate her on the blog.


Our baby girl is THE BABY of the household.
It is what my kids fight over the most.
Who gets to wake her up in the morning...who gets to sit with her when watching cartoons....
She is still the apple of every one's eye.





She is a performer and a goof ball.
She still impresses me by the way she listens and follows directions.
She is not scared of much.
She does all she can to keep up the with big kids.
She does not like to be left out.





She still loves her paci.
She sleeps like a rockstar.
10-11 hours at night and 4 hour naps.
She has this precious squeaky voice.
Her favorite things are her paci, a baby, and puppies.





The only really difficult thing about her is SHE HATES TO SHOP!
Taking her to the grocery store or Target is on my least favorite things list.





I can't say these last two years have flown.
It's actually been a little challenging for me.

But I wouldn't change it!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!
