Raising turtles

No I'm not really raising turtles, although that would be kinda cool. But if I was raising turtles they would certainly be stylin' in the oodles of turtlenecks we have in our home. At first it was just Joshua who seemed to have an obsession with this article of clothing. Really, this kid would wear them from September through May. I pretty much have to hide them in tote buckets to get him to stop wearing them. Now Andrew is requiring a turtleneck daily as well. So essentially I am raising turtles just not the scaly, hard shelled, cold blooded kind.

Vacation pics III

Hats galore! y family thought it was cute to try on all the "Goofy" hats and take a picture. All I could think of was contracting head lice. YIKES!!! The parks were all decked out for Christmas. It was really quite festive.

Vacation pics II

This picture was taken just after Andrew consumed a Mickey ice cream bar. Below is a pic of me & honey waiting to see Mickey's PhilarMagic. It was a great 3-D show with Mickey & Donald Duck. Really none of the shows at Disney disappoint.

A pic of hubby sporting the Jack Sparrow hat outside of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

Here's a good picture of the boys! Aren't they sweet?

Vacation pics I

I will have to post these vacation pics in small doses as the new laptop is still giving me issues. Above is a pic of Cinderella's castle decorated for Christmas. It was truly beautiful. Below is a pic of me and the boys on the first day off to Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Here's a pic after we won the "Year of a Million Dreams" package. These are the two soap stars we met. She plays "Carly" and he plays "Nicholas" on General Hospital. Unfortunately I don't watch the show and had really no clue as to who they were. However they were very friendly and he apparently used to work on the original CSI. Andy wasn't impressed as seen below.

Giving Thanks

Hello & sorry for the delay. I have attempted on numerous accounts to upload my new Disney photos to no avail. There is some sort of computer glitch and I have yet to figure it out. I will keep trying and will work on it in the next few days.

Our trip was awesome. Disney as always doesn't disappoint. The parks were beautiful and there wasn't a lot of crowds. We were able to ride each ride many times and the wait times were less than 10 minutes each time. We were also the lucky winners of their prize giveaway on 3 different occasions. The first time we won $200 in gift cards, dinner at Hollywood & Vine, 5 gift bags with goodies and a meet & greet with two soap stars from general Hospital. Unfortunately I don't watch that soap so that part wasn't that big of a deal to me & the family. The second winning was pin lanyards with 4 pins each so the boys were able to begin trading with the cast members. The last day we won Fast passes which allowed us to get on and off rides with no wait. The dinners we had were phenomenal and the hotel was great. We were sad to come home to Delaware. However it's always nice to slink down in your own comfy bed. We certainly have a lot to be thankful for this year.

This being the eve of Thanksgiving I wish you and your families a Happy Turkey Day. May you not forget all the blessings that you have been bestowed this past year.

Planes, trains & automobiles

Doesn't this new music just make you wanna pack up a suitcase and hit the open road? Everyone wants to jump in the car for a cross country adventure with he whole family don't they? I've never been cross country with my family before but 16 hours was long enough for me. Thank goodness for planes. This upcoming trip will be the first time the little guys have ever flown before. They are looking forward to hitting the airport and boarding the plane. Momma is not as anxious. It's been nearly 10 years since I last flew. I'd be lying if I didn't say I was a bit scared. Not worried about crashing & dying... just worried about turbulence & air pockets. I'm not the type that likes to ride roller coasters so any kinda of extra movement may send me into a panic. I'll keep my fingers crossed that I won't need to use the vomit bags.

New Toy

I am sitting here admiring & using my new toy. My parents graciously stood in line for an hour and a half (thank you!!! love ya lots) so that I may have a laptop. I have wanted one for some time and when I saw that there was a model on sale at Wal-mart I just had to have it. So since I was to be at the swim meet and hubby was at an RC swap meet they came to my rescue. Hopefully this helps me stay on top of my blog postings and general e-mails. Now I just need to learn all the bells & whistles that are at my disposal. Watch out PC world here I come.
