An early Christmas present for our prince (turning 1!) and princess!!! *Update 11/19*

Yeah, I guess that's true! ^.^ Even my DH was saying to just leave things the way they are! Lol. So I guess I will

So right now the Disney store is having a 25% off sale and so we had to head over there! We ended up buying DD some new clothes for school (which starts in 20 days!) and we let her choose her Halloween costume for this year. I know it seems kind of early but hey, 25% off was nice, and we have MNSSHP in September which really isn't all that far away. I won't say just yet who she chose but I will post a picture when I can
The sale doesn't end until Sunday and so I may buy a few more things online this weekend

My princess chose......

Snow White!

I was pretty surprised. I still need to buy the accessories. And now choose new costumes for the rest of us! I am thinking I will be the evil queen and DS a dwarf - Happy to be specific

We have been busy with school starting up and whatnot. We took the kids to the beach and had a great time, they both loved it

Iris started pre-k yesterday and has been having a BLAST. Everyday I pick her up she is looking forward to going back. On her first day of school, out of all her new clothes, she chose to wear her 'Return of the Jedi' shirt so I felt proud as I am a huge Star Wars fan

I finished 3 of my 4 summer classes. All A's so far!! I just have a final exam left in my oceanography class then it will be time to start fall classes!

We are doing a countdown for a Universal trip right now.. 22 days. We are going with a lot of family and staying at Hard Rock. We have annual passes there and go quite often. Sadly I have gotten bored with the parks myself but I love seeing my kids have fun I am excited to show Iris where they have the Once-ler's house setup now that we have been watching the Lorax everyday!!

Okay Disney people, I need some help!
I have not thought about this at all until DH said something.. He assumed we will be taking the Disney buses everywhere. Do you think that's a good idea? I had planned on using my own car but I'm not sure.. Maybe we will use the bus on our 2nd day which is MK to try it out.

LOVE the dress she picked! Looks great!!

She looks so cute for her first day of Pre-K! My little one doesn't star this year, but she will next year!

Good job with your grades!! I have 3 more classes to finish - only one is done. ALMOST THERE!

We are driving this year, so we'll have our car. We are doing a mixture of both -driving some days and taking the buses some days. I really like the Disney buses and am fearful it won't be "the same" without them

I am back and doing better than ever!! I haven't really gone anywhere but we have just been so busy! It is now 20 days until our vacation and I am sooooo excited!! So is DH!!

Let's see... what has happened since August??
-Iris is doing great in school, struggling a little, but her teacher says it's nothing to worry about. She recognizes and writes quite a few letters and numbers now and she writes her name so good! Iris came home one day saying, "Mommy, a boy asked me to marry him!" Yeah, oh boy! His name is Coy and they always sit next to each other at circle time. lol.
-My husband and I celebrated our 6th anniversary (married for 2 yrs)
-Ezra is now 10 months old, getting so big!
-We went to MNSSHP and camped at Ft Wilderness which was a blast!!!
-My anxiety has diminished but I still worry about my health a bit lol
-I am in my Fall semester of school and doing awesome

Picture update!!!

This is Iris's class at the school pumpkin patch with the director of the school. The 2 weeks before Halloween they got to go out there everyday and listen to a story. And they got to bring baby pumpkins home

This is Iris's class on Halloween. They had a trick-or-treat parade at school. Each class made their own costumes; their class dressed up as pirates! Iris is the 3rd from the right.

This was the start to our Halloween night.

And this is how it ended. So dang cute, he fell asleep like that. I ended up carrying him

And this is a recent picture of Ezra, he is close to standing on his own. He is on his 9th tooth now and yes, I am still breastfeeding, ouch lol

That is all for now, MNSSHP update coming up!

 

[DsnyMama]

LOVE the Halloween pictures! HOORAY for doing great this semester!! I hear ya sometimes on the teeth! I'm still nursing my 27 month old (not sure if he'll be weaned or not by the time the new baby comes) and the only time teeth bother me is when he's getting new ones and uses me as a teething ring! LOL!

Wow, 27 months, that is awesome! I never breastfed Iris so I'm not sure how the whole weaning thing works?? Lol. I have heard plenty of times that babies will self-wean so I guess we will see how that works out.

We went to MNSSHP at the end of September and had a great time We camped at Fort Wilderness a couple of nights and the weather was just right for camping out! DH wasn't able to go because we went partially during the week and he had work but that just means he is that much more excited for our upcoming trip since he hasn't been in so long!

And sorry about the huge pics, I tried fixing them on photobucket but it is all different now and I just gave up! lol

We had a wet start to the evening but the rain backed off by the time we got to the boat dock

Ezra was one happy, little Yoda!

If you have watched the Star Wars movies you can see that we were from the scene when Yoda is training Luke and he carries him around on his back! lol

Me and the kids matched this day, it was super cute but Iris was too busy running around for me to get a pic of all of us!

Iris got to go on a pony ride which she enjoyed

The little water park they have at the Fort is awesome!! We were there for quite a while. This is one of my favorite pics from the trip

While driving around on the golfcart we saw the sweetest deer!

We went over to DTD with the intentions of meeting Jack & Sally but the line was about 2 hours long so that was a no go for me! Got a good pic of them though

I tried taking a picture of us while my mom was driving the golfcart and it ended up pretty cute haha

Ezra had so much fun swinging! There are so many nice little playground around the Fort

We went over to Sea World for their Halloween celebration since we have annual passes there. Iris always needs her picture with Shamu or Dolly Dolphin haha

This is an awesome picture!! Ezra LOVED him!

And this was Ezra's reaction to the Shamu Show!! lol

Now we are at the 10 day countdown!! Woohoooo! Online check-in is done. I can't wait!

Thank you. I'm not entirely sure what we'll do that this point re: weaning. I'm open to tandem nursing, but would prefer that he self-wean by the end of my pregnancy! We'll see!
