Whereas our Precious First Born does everything with flair and drama, our (soon-to-be) middle child has become one that does not choose to express her emotions very often in public. (Exceptions, OF COURSE.) The bummer is that she did not gush and awe over things at Disneyland–even things that we knew she liked. She didn’t […]
There’s no doubt our little man had a great time at Dland. But it was a bit of a bumpy ride. With this kid, the highs are HIGH and the lows are LOW (and loud). I mentioned in one of my other posts that Trent talked Carson into riding Space Mountain on day one. I’m […]
We’re BAAAAAAAACK! * We survived. More than that–we had a great trip. I was so proud of my planning self–we came in $75 under budget! It was a completely cash-only trip. Trent and I agreed the only time we would use our debit cards was to get Redbox videos along the way, and 2 Priceline […]
OK, so here’s the story for all the curious relatives and jealous preschoolers. To most of my So Cal friends, this is old news, but for the rest of us, it’s pretty stinkin’ cool. Disneyland has an interactive “show” called Jedi Training that happens about 6 times a day. The first one is 30 minutes […]
We have finished day 2 at D-land. I have a TON of pictures, but the internet connection at this amazing little timeshare is slow like molasses in wintertime. (?? That was the first simile that came to mind.) I’ve been trying for 50 minutes to upload about 10 of the 100 pictures I took of […]
So, here’s the update so far: the drive wasn’t too bad. The first day was full of LOTS of “How many more minutes?” We tried to convince Carson that he needed to start thinking in HOURS. For some reason, he kept saying “Welcome to California!” But both days we were able to stop at a […]
Wondering how our first day of road trip was? Nope. You’ll have to endure a post about my hair first. My hair was getting long-ish and everyday was ponytail day, so I chopped it off. Actually, I had my sweet hairstylist chop it off. But something happened between her chair and the real world. See, […]
If anyone was reminded of a FRIENDS episode by my post title (“They don’t KNOW we know they know we know!”) then I like you a little extra right now. OK, I’ve been talking so much about money lately, even I’M tired of hearing about it. But one more brief interlude before some road trip […]
When I was in a singing group in college, we would travel around the country and eventually come around to each member’s hometown for a few days. I loved when I got to bring the gang back to my house and meet my parents and sing for my church. My girlfriends that stayed at our […]
I did not intend for that fundraising post to stay up that long. Sorry if that seemed like some passive-aggressive blogging. 😉 This has been…just…a week, ifyaknowhwhatimean. The calendar showed that LAST week was the busy one–I worked three days and had several trips to Portland I had to make, some playdates, appointments, helping at […]
