Not a creature was stirring

Oh wait.....that's right. Everyone in our home was up at 12:30 am this morning.....except Jake, my dog. The ironic thing is he was in OUR bedroom snoozing away in the corner all peaceful like.

Meanwhile.....I was sitting in the recliner trying to get Lil Man calmed down and back to sleep. The Hubby was "helping", and I use this termly loosely, while lying on the couch under a blanket. The term "helping" means SLEEPING in this instance! (I sit here chuckling to myself just thinking about it.) Finally, around 1:30ish Lil Man is back in his bed sound asleep and I'm making my way back to bed. Jake is still snoozing and The Hubby is back in bed. Amazing how that worked out huh.

*************

Had fun shopping yesterday though and scored several cute outfits!

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's......

Ok, so it's a plane. Actually, multiple planes.....with a few helos thrown in. Our local county airport had a "Fly In". It was a fundraiser for the Human Society.



My child had a blast!!! The Hubby and I enjoyed ourselves too but Lil Man loved it!

Watching a plane come in. Lil Man doing his "plane arms" and screeching.

One of our favs.

My fellas posing. "Look but don't touch."

Two of the helos taking off. It was kind of crazy.

Planes didn't stop taking off and landing so these

two guys took off in between.

The Hubby checking a helo out.

Lil Man and I walking down "airplane lane".

Another take off. My kid got a kick out of it.


Doing his "airplane" arms.

They even had a couple of skydivers.

I have to mention this couple. They flew in after the Fly In started. One of the airport employees mentioned that they are in their 80's......Yes, you heard me correctly! 80 some odd years old and still flying planes. The gentleman told someone we with that he had been flying since 1933. So I just couldn't resist giving them a shout out.

Hope you're having a beautiful, relaxing Saturday.

Dear Hubby

When I ask you to do one simple thing in the morning (change our child's diaper) because I'm running late, please just do it! And when you come in late (7:00pm) and there's a mess on the kitchen floor, don't ask about it. Just ignore it!

Love you!

Your wife

So let me explain:

Yesterday late evening, Hubby walks in the door (7:00ish). Lil Man and I had already eaten dinner. I had forewarned said husband that we were only waiting until 6:30 then we were eating with or without him. I cooked Chicken Parmesan by the way!....anywhoo.....there were plastic storage containers ALL over the kitchen floor (I admit it looked like a tornado had hit). Lil Man had kept himself entertained by pulling them out of the drawers and stepping on them. I frankly did NOT care....he was playing close by, out of my way and letting me get dinner cooked. This was the first thing said Hubby commented on; just about sent me through the roof. I smiled and said I would clean it up later. I honestly think it's still there this morning. Do I care??? Not so much!


THEN.......this morning.

Our mornings usually consist of this: I get up and get dressed; Hubby is still in the bed; I get our child up, diaper changed and dressed; Hubby is still in the bed; I take child to my mom's (where thankfully SHE does breakfast) and head to work; Hubby is still in bed; Hubby gets up and takes dog out for a walk and then heads into work.

I honestly don't mind that the man doesn't do a whole lot in the mornings. I'm okay with that UNTIL the one morning I randomly ask for a small favor........I was running late b/c my child got up early. Lil Man had been playing in the bathroom with me as I got ready. I asked Hubby to go change his diaper right quick while I was finishing up. Hubby calls Lil Man several times with no response (while still lying in the bed)....this is where I get super annoyed, take care of it myself and head out the door.

"I was getting ready to do it. I'm not sure why you're annoyed," responds Hubby.

When I wake you up during the night to take care of our child, just think about these incidents my darling love. No complaints from the peanut gallery allowed! [smirk]

Does anyone feel my pain??? Or am I the pain??? {grin} If you think I'm the pain, no need to comment because this was my rant post and I'm always right thankyousomuch!!! LOL

Jake still has to poop

even though Daddy is working late.



Mommy still needs to exercise even though Daddy is working late.



So..........


this is how I roll even though (because) Daddy is working late!!

Yep, that's right. It's raining! And my mommy still puts me in the jogger and off we go. But luckily for me, she got me a cover for my jogger. She and Jake are getting wet. I'm "snug as a bug in a rug!"

Love,

Lil Man

Fun Family Time

We had a BLAST at Disney last week.

We got to Florida late Sunday night. Monday we just hung out at the house and let the kids play and swim.

Tuesday the fun began. We headed for Magic Kingdom around 10:30ish. Let me just say getting to the park was work in itself. Packing for kids....(and we only have 1) it's not the easiest job. Holly and Philip have two little ones so they had even more to worry about taking.

The Hubby and I decided we wanted to ride Pirates of the Caribbean. Lil Man was on board with us. Maybe ....... this was not the most child appropriate ride we could have chosen. Lil Man did good though.... only had one little scary moment.

Here's the picture as we are arriving on the ferry to actually get to the park.



Holly and and her Lil Man on the ferry ride.


Our handsome fellas doing daddy duty. Thank goodness for nice strollers. The children spent a good deal of time in them that's for sure.

Waiting on the train to arrive to take a ride around the park. This was Lil Man's style. He didn't care about any of the rides per say...... but put him on a train, truck or boat and he's good to go.

"All aboard!"

We had heard that the firework display was awesome. On the first day, we really had no plans to stay and watch. We were going to come back the next night. Well..... slight change of plans. We were at the park later than we thought we would be so we just ate dinner and stayed for the show. And a show it was.

Here's a picture of the castle as it was changing colors throughout the firework show. AWESOME!!

My Lil Man and and I watching the show. Can you see how tired the poor little guy is? I was so proud of how good he was during the day.

Our family shot for the day. Lil Man wouldn't let me put him down for a photo with just him and Mickey and Minnie. What you don't see is what was to come!! Minnie got fresh with my man. :) She gave him a big ole kiss!! Ha Ha

This is how Lil Man returned to the house at the end of the day. I think it was about 10:00pm when we rolled in. I got him out of the car and laid him on his bed. I then proceeded to change his diaper and put on his pj's...... all without him waking up. My baby was pooped!!

WELL RESTED AND READY TO DO IT AGAIN!!



Our second day consisted of Animal Kingdom. We thought the kids would enjoy this because of all the animals they could see.

The Hubby and Lil Man posing for me. This was as we were headed into a 3D show about bugs. Lil Man and I made it for 3 minutes before he got spooked, and I had to take him out.

We went for a safari ride. This is what our "bus" looked like.

My two loves looking at some animals.

"What's going on back there??"

Our family shot for the day. Yes..... my child and I are laughing like loons. I think we were getting a little delirious at this point. Two days of this makes for long days!

But fun we did have!!!

We took Thursday "off" and let everyone (adults included) relax. We hung out at the house again for the day, swam and napped.........even the adults.

Friday......SeaWorld. I will tell about that soon.
