6 days until we leave! This past weekend, we got the oil changed, tires balanced, and alignment done on our minivan since we'll be driving out to California. Yesterday afternoon, YDD (who will be 7 tomorrow) said, "Mama, I think that we should do this every year." I said, "Do what, honey?" YDD replied, "Go to
Disneyland! It's fun! We should do it every year."
YAY! I'VE CONVERTED ANOTHER ONE INTO THE FOLD! Hahaha
Maybe it helped that we took the kids on Saturday evening this past weekend to a Frozen Sing A Long and my kids dressed up in their Elsa costumes...and that the movie theater had an Anna & Elsa meet and greet. Hey, we were prepping! Prepping for Disneyland, that is!
We went with some friends and we all met up at a place for dinner before the movie. At one point, all of the kids in our group were getting a little antsy, they kept getting up & stuff and were getting rambunctious. So I told ODD & YDD quietly, "Girls, listen. You are wearing your fancy Elsa dresses right now, so you represent Queen Elsa and her sister. I don't think that Elsa would act like this in a restaurant. Now, we're almost done and we'll be leaving soon, so please go and put on your best princess manners and sit at the table like the proper princesses that you are dressed like right now." OMG, you know what? My little speech worked!
They were very polite & ladylike the rest of the time we were at the restaurant. Then, of course, once we got outside and walked to the car, there was lots of jumping up and down like this...
1 week from today, I'll be skipping down Main Street with my kids.
It looks like it will still be considered warm for us/me, even if it is raining. Enjoy your trip!!
