Disney World or Bust: Part 1

Off we go...to Disney World. Me and the boys boarded a plane from Dallas, my family boarded a plane from Chicago, and we all met up at the airport in Orlando.

Since we were staying at one of the Disney resorts, we got to board Disney's Magical Express, which played old Donald Duck cartoons all the way to the hotel. Those Disney people sure know how to set the tone for a fun family vacation!

Things only got more exciting when we got to the resort. There was just a buzz around Disney World that I can't really explain, and we hadn't even made it out of the hotel yet!

More fun to come...

Hooray for fall!

Things I like best about the fall:

1. Football weather.
2. Being able to play Christmas music without Tim rolling his eyes.
3. That I can finally melt Scentsy's cool weather scents with a clear conscience.
4. That boys' clothing becomes significantly less ugly.
5. Scarves. Lots of scarves.
6. Boots. And tights. And tights with boots.
7. Pumpkins, and food made from pumpkins.
8. Soup.
9. The smell of wood burning.
10. Christmas lights going up.
11. Visits to the Arboretum.
12. Anticipation of the holiday season.
13. Blankets.
14. Playing outside with the boys.

Boys being boys

Brothers

A rare moment when neither of them is causing the other bodily harm. Love these boys.

Toddling

As of a couple of days ago, Isaac is "officially" walking. He's been "sorta kinda" walking for a month or so, where he would take a few steps and then fall down, at which point he'd decide that it was easier to crawl wherever he was going. But it seems that he has finally decided that crawling is no longer the most effective mode of transportation, and here he is, in all his bipedal glory.

Disney World Teaser

Someday I will post about our awesome family trip to Disney World, but for now, enjoy this sneak peak of Rachel, Isaac, and I aboard our XP-37 space cruiser, blasting away at Evil Emperor Zurg's robot minions with our standard issue laser cannons. What up, Zurg?

Summer '11: fallback career

Sometimes when the boys are in the bath, I like to play my own version of Hair Battle Spectacular. Now that Alex is sporting a buzz, a 'do that isn't very conducive to creating fabulous hair sculptures, Isaac is my go-to model. I call this particular look the "Cowabunga Cowlick".
