“Flordida” 2010, Part II

May 17, 2010

And…here’s the rest of our trip!
So, Monday the 17th we had scheduled breakfast with the princesses at Epcot. When we woke that morning, I told Mallory “Happy PRINCESS DAY!”. With three-year-old attitude and sass, she looked at me and said “princesses don’t say that.”.
Oh.
Anyway…I’d brought Mallory’s Little Mermaid costume, thinking she would want to wear that to the breakfast, but my spinny-dress-loving girl kept with tradition and wore…a spinny dress.
I need to insert here that my dad was wearing a walking boot on his leg because of some pretty bad plantar fasciitis, so we’d rented him a little scooter to …

Carson

One for the road

May 16, 2010

I know I said I’d see you in June, but how could I resist sharing THIS picture?

(He’s in Mallory’s carseat on the plane – it was easier to hold Mallory on our laps and have him in lockdown in the carseat than vice-versa.)

Flordida Day 1

May 16, 2010

This is all I’ve got from day one.
Yesterday morning, Rick & I had to go to the sales presentation thing for the vacation rental home place we’re staying – we were good and refrained from buying in. It is so interesting though – the show they put on for as many “no thank-yous” that they probably get? I can’t wrap my head around it.
Rick had his race today and tomorrow we’re headed to Disney. I’m exhausted from living out of suitcases and chasing children around an unchildproofed condo and pool. I wish I had more energy to write …

I’m still standing…

May 13, 2010

Here’s a roundup of our life lately:

Our house is rented. They want to be in by the end of the month. This means we are in crazy mad packing mode, all while trying to get ready to leave town for Rick’s triathlon race.
We’ll live with my dad for the time being but I would hate to overstay our welcome there…even though my dad is pretty excited about having RB around to help with the yard and other projects :-)
We’re frantically trying to find a house that we like that meets all of our requirements. We recently saw two that …

The Comma is Coming!

May 5, 2010

Holy JUMPING – my post of Carson sleeping was my 973rd blog post!
That means that in 27 (or rather 26 after this post) more posts, my post count will have a comma in the number.
I get an award for that, right?
What is your guess for how long it will take me to get to 1,000 posts?

Carson

At rest

May 5, 2010

One of the few times a day that you’ll see Carson not in motion, moving from here to there.
I love pictures like this, of my sweet baby sound asleep, tushie in the air, little tiny feet crossed.
Love it. Love him.

Just my kids

May 3, 2010

Oh right, this is a blog about my kids. So here are some more pictures of my kids. I think I’ve given up on trying to get one of the two of them together.

April – in review

May 3, 2010

I promise I do spend time with my kids, I just don’t have a lot of time to write about it, apparently.
Let’s see.
So, Carson is taking advantage of his mobility and cuteness and now stands and begs while Rick cuts up fruit for breakfasts & lunches every morning. He semi-stomps his feet until he gets my attention so I can tell Rick to notice the little hungry person next to him (since you know Captain Oblivious won’t see him himself).
Carson also loves to do high-five and will *sometimes* show us how big he is. Dinnertime is hysterical …

Mallory

Innocent until proven guilty

May 2, 2010

Carson fell/tripped/slipped and started crying in the kitchen.
Mallory (from next to me on the couch) quickly says “it wasn’t me!”.

Just Ask Dem

May 2, 2010

Mallory got new Ariel princess underpants yesterday. As I was folding my not-new and non-princess boring underpants, I told M that I wish I could get new underpants. Mallory said “well, you can get Ariel ones”. I told her I don’t think they make Ariel princess ones for mommies.
She said “Yes they do. You just have to ask them”.
