Thanks for taking the time to share! I'm excited to continue reading!

Glad you are here. Always happy to have new readers. Thanks for the compliments.

How's Cole? Hope you're hanging in there too.

Cole is doing much better. Today was his second day of no temp. Still has a stuffy nose but he is starting to act more like himself all the time. I'm just trying to get him back on his schedule. Being sick always seems to throw off their sleep schedule. I'm doing better now too. Ready for him to be back to normal schedule for my sake as well though,lol. Thank you so much for asking.

Hey Dylan and Blakes Mom ooo and Coles mama lol. I hope Cole is feeling better...As well as everyone else in your family. Hope to see you posting soon. xoxo

I'm missing your updates! Hoping everyone is better and you will start writing again!!!

 

[Dylan_&_Blake's_mom]

OK, so I'm finally able to do another update. So sorry about it taking me so long. It seems like things have been non stop since Easter. With Cole getting sick, planning his first bday sad1: and the boys' end of the year school activities, it has been a whirlwind.

Anyway, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR STICKING WITH ME!

After we left the Lego store I stopped to feed Cole while the boys looked around some and then we headed to the World of Disney store On the way we saw these ladies doing some chalk drawings on the sidewalk.

Then we saw this!

I took several inside shots of this place, I will try to limit them on here. THere is just so much to look at here.

Blake saw these and just had to try them on

and Dylan

Blake's favorite

Then we were off to Once Upon a Toy

I tried to talk them into doing the stuff the box with potato head parts thing but they wanted to save their money for "cooler" things. I thought about doing it myself but decided to pass.

We then found what they had been waiting all week for...Build Your Own Lightsaber! I had told them about this in advance so they were very excited to finally get to do it. I started to try and help them but got lost and quickly realized this was a job for their dad and them.

I don't know why I don't have a pic of their finished lightsabers on here as I know I have one somewhere but oh well. They both made the Darth Maul one ( so they say ) with the saber on both ends and different parts in the center to tell them apart.

Then Jerry saw a sign that said if you buy $50 worth of Star Wars merchandise you got a collector coin set for $10 I think or maybe it was even free I don't remember. Anyway, since they both did the lightsaber's for $20 each we just had to find something for around $10. We ended up with a small stuffed Ewok for Cole, and of course the collector coin set-for Jerry.

Just some random shots...

I thought this shirt was really cute

If uou can't read it it says Darth Tater at the top and I am your father (to a french fry) at the bottom

CONTINUED............

I'm not positive exactly what we did after we left here. I know they played outside at the water jet things for quite awhile while I fed Cole. Then we went into several different shops and looked around at a lot of things. Jerry really impressed me while we were at Downtown Disney. He didn't really complain or rush us the whole time which is big for him because normally he HATES shopping (that is of course unless it's electronics, tools or car parts)

Anyway, we finally found our way to Goofy Candy Store. The boys and I were all really looking forward to this place because I really wanted to do the create your own treat thing and they wanted to create their own slushie cup which both things I had known about before and allowed extra money for.

We had a good time with this mirror. We must have played in front of it for at least half and hour. I know, we're dorks.

Here are some of the shots from that:

Cone head baby

The boys with their slushie cups

some shots I should've thrown in earlier.

This is a beach towell I saw several times throughout our trip and was really drawn to for some reason, I just love the colors and such. I never did get it though and of course now I really wish I would have

some scrapbooks I thought were really cute, love my Tinkerbell.

It was then time to leave DTD. We thought about eating at Planet Hollywood but it looked REALLY packed so we decided against it. Here is a pic we got on the way out though

We headed back to the resort to order pizza and turn in for the night.

Here we are with our finished creations that were oohhhh soooo yuummmyy!!

Dylan's was marshmallows dipped in chocolate and then coated with crushed m&m's

Blake's was marshmallows dipped in chocolate and then coated in sprinkles

Mine was marshmallows dipped in chocolate and then coated in chopped reeses peanut butter cups

Jerry said it looks like a big turd in a box,lol. Which I of course tried to ignore because it was delicious!!


UP next, our last day in Orlando We were going to finally get some time in the resort pool and then head to the beach.

OMG im soo glad your back, you had me worried lol. Im glad Cole is doing better, Happy Birthday to him. I loved the update, the mirror pics are soo funny and cute. Your boys looked like they had fun with the light saber building activity. You take such excellent pictures. i got the same camera for my birthday but in pink. So now that I see what pics you have, I am excited to take pics for my trip coming up. I love DTD its soo much fun when your not going to the parks. By the way your treats that the boys made look sooooooo yummy. What Jerry said about yours was funny..But Id still eat it, looks yummy too. Arent the slushies excellent, too bad they dont do free refills lol. I would take advantage of it lol.

 

[jordanyosh]

I would have to agree with jerry..that marshmellow does look a bit like a turd.....

I'm glad you had a great time at DTD...I wonder why Jerry was so mellow at DTD? Have you thought about that or asked him?

I love that Life spinning thing on the ceiling....

 

[scottny]

nice to see u back.

great update and pics.

 

[mom2mek]

Great updates! Love the mirror pictures! I attempted to do the build-your-own-lightsaber thing too (husband was not with us) and was very happy when a 12 year old (he looked 12) came and helped us. If he hadn't done that, we still would be there trying to figure it out. Did the boys get a free Star Wars pin for making lightsabers?

Thanks for sticking around and you are too sweet for worrying Things are good and yes Cole is better(knock on wood), just busy.Thanks for saying happy birthday to him. He will be one on May 2nd.They loved the lightsaber thing. SO cool that you got the same camera in pink. It is a really cute little camera and I love it because it fits nicely in my purse(my camera travels everywhere with me) The slushies are really good. I didn't get on of my own, just sampled the boys' but I think I might next time becasue they were yummy. Free refills would be nice.

Yes, I know it does . However, it was DELICIOUS!

I don't know about him and DTD. I just chalk it up to being on vacation and disney magic

I love the Life thing also, I loved playing that as a kid.

LOL. Those things are hard to build. I would've still been there also had it not been for hubby. Yes, I forgot, they did get little Vader pins for building them. THanks for reminding me.

 

[DisneyFairy66]

[Happy_Mom]

Great report so far! You have a beautiful family!

 

[brookelizabeth]

Love the mirror pics!!

and yum, yum, yum, your Goofy's Candy Co creations look DELISH!

 

[Pinga's Mommy]

Your pictures are great. I love that all of you are in a lot of them. I usually carry the camera so I am usually left out of our "family" pictures.

Looks like you had a great time.

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

I just found your TR. I'm only up to page 4 so I still have some reading to do. I LOVE the shirts!!! Once I got to the part where you said you used the DISign thread I went looking for it, but I can't find it. For whatever reason, I keep getting "error on page" when I search. It's probably just me. I'd love to know where you found them, etc. I plan to try and convince my family to wear matching shirts. I tried it once and they all had such a look on their face the entire day.

Thanks for coming along. Sorry I didn't write you back yet. I've been SUPER busy lately and haven't gotten on much. The board is under the JUST FOR FUN part I believe and is called Creative DISigns. Let me know if you still can't find it.

 

[Dylan_&_Blake's_mom]

I'm so, so sorry once again. I know I have been a bad host I have just been super busy lately for misc. reasons including end of the year school things, planning Cole's bday and planning a graduation party for my sister. On top of these things we are remodeling our house. I will try to post again soon I promise.

DisneyFairy (aka Alexis)~ I hope you are still here and not mad at me
