Magical Memories

We were able to visit the Magic Kingdom again recently. The four of us met up with our friends, Monique, Kenny and their son Kristian. It was a perfect visit. The park was open until 11pm so we decided to get there at 3:30pm. We were able to do so many things with very little wait. We made it through the whole day with one 2 1/2 year old and two 3 year olds and there were NO MELTDOWNS. We even made it to the 10pm fireworks and 11pm SpectroMagic parade!!!

Parker asked, "Do we get to meet the real Mickey today, Mommy?" I said of course. As soon as we walked in the room, Parker says, "Mickey is supposed to be wearing yellow shoes not black shoes." I told him that Mickey dressed up to meet him today. I told them that just like they have different clothes and shoes, so do Mickey and Minnie. Not sure if he believes me or not but he sure was happy to meet the both of them. Sydney didn't pay any mind to Parker's cynicism, she was so excited to meet the both of them.

3 YEAR OLDS ARE SO FUNNY!!!!

You should see my purse these days. Floating around it are sticky notes with to do lists. Along with to do lists you would find stickys with little notes jotted on them with some funny things that the kids have said. Of course I can't jot down every funny thing but I try when I remember.

Here are some funny things Parker has said lately...


We were on our way to the beach and were driving past the Port at Cape Canveral and the Carnival Dream was in port. Parker looked over and asked if that was a boat. I told him that it was a really big boat, called a cruise ship. He proceeded to tell me that it is the most "enormousest" ship ever.
-
My Dad and Barbara are selling their other cabin(sniff, sniff)and are buying a little bit bigger one right down the road from the one they have. Anyway, when I told the kids that Papa and MeeMaw bought a new cabin. Parker 's first concern was, "Will there be candy in the new cabin?" MeeMaw keeps a mason jar full of candy on the table and he was worried they might leave it behind.
-
Parker was coughing the other day and he told Nana that he was sneezing. She proceeded yo tell him that he was not sneezing, he was coughing. He proceeded to tell her, "Sassys allergic to me that's why I am sneezing."

Here are some funny things, Sydney has said lately.

"Mommy, one day I will be a good Mommy just like you."
-
"Mommy I want to be a strong mommy just like you."
-
While I was painting her fingers and toenails a few weeks ago, she looked at me and said, "One day when I am bigger, I am going to paint your fingers and toes, Mommy."
-
Sydney told me the other day that she is going to have 3 kids-one boy and two girls. She will named the boy Patrick. She made up a silly name for her girls...not really sure what she said. I think its so sweet that she wants to name her boy after her Daddy.

Trip to NC to see GG and Aunt Jan

It has taken awhile to get around to posting this time. It has been a very busy month. About a month ago, my mom, the kids and I flew up to North Carolina to spend some QT with my Grandma(aka GG), Aunt Jan, cousin Erika and her husband Brian. It was really cool to see a part of NC that I had never seen before and although it wasn't the mountains, it sure was beautiful and it was great time spent with family.

Here is a pic of Nana and Syd at the Orlando/Sanford airport waiting for our flight to NC.
It was such a great experience dealing with the smaller airport. It was very smooth getting through sercurity and to the gate. The staff is more personable too.

Syd was so excited to pull her own suitcase along. She never tired of it.


Sydney told me she was a little nervous about flying. Yes she used the word nervous. She did great though. Once we were in the air, she told me she wasn't nervous anymore. Parker did great too. He wasn't nervous one bit. He was just so excited. He would not stop chatting the entire flight. Couldnt get him to take a good picture.
Parker did not believe we were in NC when we got there. It took a few days to convince him. I think the reason he didnt believe we were in NC was because everytime he has gone to NC it has been by car and it is a long overnight trip. The other thing he relates to NC is the cabin and the mountains.
The kids loved Aunt Jan and GG's place. They really loved the stairs.
They would stand on the bottom stair and pretend it was their stage. They put on show after show. Each show started with one or both of them saying, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls."

Every day we took a trip to the park. The first couple days we visited this park called the Lazy Daze Park. Two days we went to the library for storytime.

Brian was nice enough to take some fun pics of the kids and GG. As always trying to get Parker to stay still and pose for a picture is an impossible feat. Nonetheless, the pictures turned out cute.

Thanks, Bri!

We were so sad to leave. It really flew by. We are hoping to get a visit from GG soon.
