It has been a while since I last gave an update and for that I apologize. Things have been crazy around here.
Last Friday I had to have a small follow up procedure done (everything is good
). I had to schedule toe surgery for Paige...she has a condition called hammer (curley) toe and has to have a tendon cut on each foot. This is scheduled for July...the week we were going to visit friends we met on our Disney cruise last November. I am not looking forward to this at all. 
In fact we are not telling Paige about b/c she will get upset that someone is going to cut her toes. 
It should be a pretty quick procedure but we will find out if it is a tendon issue or if there is an actual bone deformity on the one foot...if it is a bone deformity then there will major surgery on the toe in a couple of years...right now her bones are to small to perform that procedure. I going to give myself a little pixie dust 
(ok, maybe alot!!) that it will just be the tendon.
I did buy us all "matching" Wall*E shirts from the Disney Store last week. They are matching in that they all say the same thing but mine is pink, Rod's is blue, and Paige's is white. I am hoping to put something on the back of them just for fun...we'll see what I come up with. If I do anything, I will be sure to post pics of them.
I have been reading lots here on the Disboards about making a touring plan...I am pretty mixed on this. On one hand, it would be nice to have my days planned but on the other hand, with a 4 year old, I know that even the best plans get pushed to the side. With that in mind, I have decided to "wing" it. Other than our ts meals, daily naps, and swims nothing else is set in stone. We will probably make it to most of the parks for the EMH and leave around lunch to eat, swim, and nap. After that, we will head back to a park but this is my "take it easy don't try to do it" all trip.
I am just so excited to be going!! 
That is all I have for today, so until next time...happy reading.

It is a fundraiser for our local Humane Society.
My dad was here and he couldn't figure out what was wrong either. UGH!! We figured that we would have to call someone today to come look at it, the problem was we were not sure if it was the unit or an electrical problem. Since this all happened Saturday night, I refused to pay for an emergency visit. So, last night, during dinner, Rod decides to take one last look at the unit before deciding to call someone. He pulls out a fuse and asks me what I think...I say "it looks like it has a burn spot on it". Could that be the problem??? A simple little $0.50 item??? Our luck could not be that good.
So after eating, we take a trip to Walmart...about the only place still open that would carry those itty bitty fuses...we get home, plug it in and guess what!?!?!? It works!!! 
I just need to remember that vacations are supposed to be fun, not work...otherwise we would never take them. 
Since the first does not apply and the second does...walking I will be. 
My goal is to just finish the 13.1 miles and not need to catch a ride on the "Back of the Pack" bus...yes that is the bus that picks up people that are not maintaining the required 18 minute mile. 
So, while all of you are enjoying a beautiful day (hopefully you will have great weather) just send me some pixie dust and a mental wish that I finish the race. I think if I get enough good vibes I will be good to go so thank you in advance. 
I know I said I would try to update by Sunday with how I did but I was soooo sore, it was awful. 
I am finally feeling like I can walk and not hurt. 
I started feeling much better Tuesday afternoon and it has just gotten better every day. 
I hope it brings you lots of joy and happiness.
that would not make for a very fun vacation. 
So, we are camping inside tonight. 
I am slowing picking up things we will need a little at a time. I am going to order a "dog" tag, think from PetSmart, for Paige. I have this huge fear that she will wonder off and get lost. She did this to us at Meijer and we found her but it TERRIFIES 
me that it will happen there. So I am going to make one of these with her name and my and Rod's cell phone numbers on it just in case she does get lost. That way if someone finds her they can call us. I am going to show her it before we go and tell her that if we ever get seperated, even if at the grocery store, to find someone with a name tag on and ask them to call her mommy or daddy. Hopefully we won't have to use it but better safe than sorry. 
I wish that the online reservation system for ADR's was open to the general public...I think that would make it a bit easier but either way, 7:00 Sunday morning can not get here fast enough. 
the camera. It was actually pretty funny watching her.
