Mickey's Calling My Name - I had to Answer!

Well it is official! I made my reservations today. Mickey has been calling my name and I finally answered. The kids will be so excited when I tell them. I had planned on waiting until later in the year to make the reservations, but believe it or not, Kevin asked me last night had I done it yet. Well, believe me I jumped all over that one. Kevin may not admit it to anyone, but he loves going there as much as me and the kids. Our plans are to go every year. It may sound a bit extreme to go yearly, but that is what "we" like. With the proper planning it can be done. Justin and Meaghan get so excited at just the mention of going and that alone is priceless.

"The Year of a Million Dreams" will end on December 31, 2007 and I can't wait to see what Disney has planned for 2008. As posted before, when we went in December 2006 and January 2007, we had a few "Dreams" come true. So we will see what 2008 holds for us.

A first for Justin!

The time has come for Justin to step up and take some additional responsibilities. Kevin came in today and told me to get the camera, Justin was cutting the grass for the first time! For the past couple of years we have paid Taylor to take care of our lawn, but now, Justin can do it!

Wow! Saving money feels great!!!

Six Flags

We are thinking about taking the kids to Six Flags. They are out of schools in April for Spring Break and thought it would be fun. Kevin and I have not been in years, and Justin has never been. Justin loves thrill rides and I think he will have a blast. I am not sure about Meaghan. She rode Thunder Railroad and Space Mountain in Disney World, but the roller coasters at Six Flags seem like they are larger. I guess we will leave it up to her when we get there. I am looking forward to getting Kevin away from work and stress and making him relax and have some fun. If I can accomplish that when we go places then I feel like it is worth the money and time.

Non - Planners

This week Kevin asked me to help a friend of his plan a trip to Disney World. They are leaving the middle of April and have no idea what they are doing. No dining reservations, no game plan for touring - nothing. I made several suggestions and tried to help them as much as I could. If not for some guidance from me they would be wondering around the World aimlessly without any direction of where to go.

I could not imagine spending that kind of money for vacation and not doing any kind of research. I know I am compulsive planner. I must have everything done and in order before I can go or do anything. Justin is worse than I am but Meaghan, no way. She is like her Dad, throw it in a suitcase and just go!

After the day that I have had I sure need some time away. Mickey is calling my name and I can't answer yet.

Thank you Grandma!

Sunday after church my Mom gave Meaghan a digital camera! She got her a new one and gave the old one to Meaghan. She has gone crazy with it. She has taken at least 100 pictures with it so far and about 10 videos. Yes, videos. She has already figured out how to work the thing. I showed her once and that was all it took. She runs around the house taking pictures and videos and laughing like mad. These are some of the pictures that she has taken along with a few from her school program from last night. We got there late and had to sit in the back so some of the photos are out of focus. She had fun singing and dancing. She played the part of "Sparky". It was very cute.

H&G Show

Here are pictures of our booths at the Home and Garden Show this past weekend. It was a lot of work and long hours, but worth it in the long run.

My Rock Climber

Meaghan may not be a sports fan but she loves to rock climb. Yes, you heard me, rock climb. The first time she every climbed we were in Panama City at a street festival. Before she was finished, she had a huge crowd around her cheering her on. She loves it. She is very much a girly girl. She is not a girl for the ballpark nor a child that enjoys anything that will make her sweat for any amount of time. But she loves to climb the rocks and ring that bell. Who knows she may end up being an Olympic Rock Climber instead of a gymnast. Gymnastics is fun for her and she enjoys it, but I think this is her passion. Funny, I never thought she would want to do something "sports", but when she sees that wall, she gets so excited. The attached pictures are from the Home and Garden Show Rock Climbing Wall. Enjoy!

Happy Friday!

Sending some pixie dust your way for a great day!

Sick Baby...

Isn't it amazing when men are sick that the world comes to an end. Kevin and Justin went fishing Saturday and now he is about to die! Let's see, he has a little sore throat and "doesn't feel good" and has to stay in bed all day. I left to go pickup Meaghan and had to stop to buy orange juice and Tylenol Cold. If that was me do you think that I would get to go to bed? Absolutely not. If I went and got in the bed in the middle of the day I would hear "Mom, what are you doing"? "Mom, what are we going to eat"? "Mom, did you do..."?

I love him, but what a baby!

Some old pictures

I found these from our trip in October 2005, thought they were cute.
