Disney

Some random photos from Disney last week. Great time was had; went by way to fast. Unfortunately no pics from Thanksgiving with my mom - guess we were all too hungry to stop and take a photo (as I had the timing wrong and the turkey took 2-1/2 hours longer to cook than I planned on. Seems some little fingers turned off the oven in the middle of cooking the turkey!) Plus, the kids are now adverse to the camera...they look in every direction BUT at me or the camera.



Buzz Lightyear ride. A fav - went on it twice.



Magic Kingdom at night.



Fireworks display (that M HATED!!! Too loud for her.)



Hanging out poolside at the resort.



Lion King meet and greet.



Magic Kingdom at daylight.



Waiting for the 3:00 parade (no nap this day).



Yet another Magic Kingdom photo.



Lego family at Downtown Disney Village.



M playing hide & seek while waiting for the boys while they were on the Lilo & Stitch ride (and not a highly recommended ride, by the way).



Flying on Aladdin's Magic Carpet.



Lion King photo #12

Insanity!

While sorting through all the mail that has accumulated over the past 10 days we've been away, plus the handful of days before that when I didn't feel like looking at the mail, I came to the alarming realization that we get too much mail! Too much junk mail to be precise - and catalogs are the main culprit. When all was totaled up, we received 56 catalogs in just about 2 weeks!!!!

I know Christmas season is upon us and all, but why in the heck do I need 3 copies of the Discovery Channel catalog? Or 4 copies of Land's End? Or Pottery Barn TEEN? Ah, not yet thanks. Or any copy of American Girl??? There is no way I'm going to spend $150 on a doll for my 2 year old. Criminey, you should see what she does to her $5.00 doll - I think it has tattoos on it! At least it still has it's hair although I'm sure she'll chop that off at some point like all good little girls do.

So, I've spent the morning opting out of all these catalogs. That alone had a small level of insanity involved in trying to find the customer numbers on each one, but hey it was pretty painless and should save a forest here and there. If you want to stop the insanity as well - go here:

It's that kind of day

Oh, it is a doosey of a day for sure! We've been in sunny Florida. We left on 11/16 - DROVE there with 3 little kiddies and 2 doggies - and just got back yesterday. Seems that laundry piles up, mail piles up, dust piles up, plants wilt, and life must go on. I've got tons of photos to upload, proof and then I'll share them here. Have to do that later though as J just went through a couple of disney bags (after I told him to leave them alone) and found some Christmas gifts I bought for him - hmm, do I explain who "Santa" really is now or come up with some crazy story that is crazier than the whole Santa tradition???

Oh well, we did have a wonderful trip. Stayed at Disney for a few days, with my mom for a few more, and it all went by way too fast. Funny how vacations do that.

Off to see why M is being so quiet...

Face Lift

No not me, but I sure could use one! My website, however, finally got a much needed face lift thanks to Ken. So if you know of any health professionals who need educational materials or anyone who wants some groovy food and nature photographs for their workplace, point them my way!

Nothin' much here

Not much going on. M is napping. J & N will be getting off the bus soon. I'm procrastinating. So I figured I'd update the old blog, but can't think of anything to say!

N bonked his nose the other day...went head first off the scooter board in gym class and I had to rush to the school to take him to the dr. Everything is ok...not broken, just bruised pretty well. J thought it was cool that he got to leave school early (I had to get them both because of bus issues). M thought the swivel stool at the dr's office was cool and refused to get off of it for the dr. to examine N. They all thought the lollipops at the end of the visit were SUPER cool. Never mind the 10 pounds of candy still sitting at home from Halloween.

Few pics from yard work this past weekend...leaf clean up #2. By the looks of the trees, I'm sure we'll have leaf clean up #3, 4, & 5 pretty soon!
