Disney!

February 4, 2019

The weekend of Samantha’s birthday, my mom and I took her on a special trip to Disney World! The plan to was to do all the Princess stuff that the boys have no desire to do. Turns out, Samantha’s doesn’t have much desire to do it either! ha! But, it was still a FANTASTIC trip with my best girl!

I was pretty proud of all these cute shirts I had found at H&M…she was the cutest one at the parks! Β πŸ™‚

GJ picked us up in the Orlando airport and we headed to the Grand Floridian! We had dinner at the hotel and got some good sleep for a big day on Friday! First stop was breakfast at Chef Mickey’s…Samantha’s enthusiasm was palpable…

Birthday celebrations!

January 31, 2019

This 4 year old is getting celebrated lots! We had a BIG celebration last weekend with a very special trip to WDW! It was just the girls and SO much fun…even if we did learn that Samantha does NOT want to dress like a princess! Lots more to come on that.

Susan spoiled Samantha with four presents for four years! She’s the best!

and a few presents including new leotards for gymnastics and a Poopsie Slime Surprise which she has seen on tv and asked for about 100 times! ha! She also got a Calico Critters set from Nate and Delaney. yay!

She then took treats to school to celebrate yesterday. We were doing iced cookies but the snow day (that turned into a no snow day!) messed that up so we’re saving the cookies for her party this weekend. Cake pops were a hit though!

USS Alabama

January 29, 2019

This past weekend the boys got to go sleep on a battleship! Maxwell’s Boy Scout troop took a trip down to Mobile to spend the night on the USS Alabama and, because I was out of town, Spencer got to tag along.

They did a scavenger hunt to explore the ship and then had pizza and watched a movie.

They then settled in for a comfy night’s sleep in their cozy bunks! ha!

I’m not sure there was a whole lot of quality sleep that night and they were up and out of there by 6:30am the next day!

A pretty cool thing to get to do…and a thing I’m glad Robert got to do instead of me! πŸ™‚ We love the scouts!
