Good Morning everyone! We spent the day doing October things yesterday. Halloween costume hunting, pumpkin patching, etc. Today is clean the house day !Have a great Sunday!
Morning All!
I've been lazy this morning and spent a good while searching the net for a Mickey Halloween shirt. I am so mad that I did not get one while at Disney but I thought they were too expensive. I'm attempting to make my own with a design for the DISign board. I have never made a tshirt with iron on and I'm a little worried I'll mess it up.
Who is the expert here? I know QM made them but since she's away...I need help!!!!!
I think DH is getting mad because I've been on the PC too long so I'm going to head out for a little while
See you all later!
After the lighthouse we were hot and tired!The kids really wanted to get in the ocean so we headed back to the hotel. It was so nice to sit on the beach without a gazillion people around!
To our right~
And to our left, the one other family on the beach~
Nice, huh?
And it was just right temperature-wise. It wasn't so hot that you got all sweaty and not too cold either. The water temp was 75... about the same as the air temp. I thought it felt cold on my feet but the kids didn't care a bit!
There were a lot of mermaid's purses on the beach.
Abby picked one up and asked what it was. I said "Mermaid purses" and she said, "Huh?". Then I said, "Shark eggs." She screamed and threw it away from her!
After they had lots of fun dodging waves and building a sand castle (behind them in the pic above) they wanted to get in the lazy river at the hotel. So we rinsed them off in the outdoor shower and let them hop a tube and float around.
By this time it was nearing 5 and I thought it was chilly. In fact, Tom and I enjoyed a cup of hot coffee while they swam!When they started to look a little blue I lured them out with cups of hot cocoa!
After that we got ready and went out for my birthday dinner! I didn't take any pics at all... I guess I just forgot. We went to a place right on the water on the sound side of the island.
We skipped dessert because the kids really wanted to get me a cake at the grocery store. We got to the store and all the cakes were frozen. Not ice cream cakes either... just frozen.We settled for Dairy Queen.
Anyway, the next day we packed up and sadly left our beachside hotel behind.On our way home we stopped at the NC Aquarium on Roanoke Island since we can get in free with our NC Zoo membership!
A couple shots from there:
And that concludes my mini-birthday-vacation trip report!

Hi dancin! Good to meet you! Good luck in WI - I think the winter may actually be worse than Michigan.
Its the famous Disneymommom! Thanks so much and welcome home. I can't wait to hear all about your trip. Go right ahead a be nosey - I don't mind!
Thought I would give you a view of the cutie patooties!
Trent had a great time!!
Hi did a bit of whining, like he did not want to stand in line, but nothing major
We went to Downtown Disney the first night and he got to play with Mr Potato Heads, and he was in all glory
His favorite park was Epcot, believe it or not. Most kid do not like Epcot at his age
SO glad you are back!! This place was lagging w/o you and QM!
Sorry to hear you had rain and humidity but glad you still managed to have fun. It IS disney, rain or not!
I feel nice and refreshed now
Hi Ob. Glad you are back on here. Loved your smilies
Hey Carla. I am glad to be back. Nice to be back in my own bed
Hey Betsy!!!
We should be starting our report in a few days. Just need to get back in swing of things
Morning Chele
Hey Dianna. Glad to be back, too.
Ok I have to tell a funny story from today!
I pick Aidan up from school and we are headed straight to Ainslees dance class. He tells me that he thought of a new song while he was at school. So he starts singing - "I love Mickey. We should go to Disney. I love Mickey. I miss Disney!!"
Apparently even Kindergartners daydream about Disney!!!!
AND he can not have any covers while sleeping!!!!
zi am trying to find a small something like a mini blanket that he can at least hold.
Hello all!
Sharky/QM -- welcome back...I was thinking of you esp on Monday, thinking...oh, man! It's your last day already.
Laura -- great photos!!
So we had our Halloween No Carve Pumpkin Party today and then did some trick or treating in our backyard...here's a pic of DD and her friends...DD is dressed in pink. She's definitely practicing to be a princess!
I feel your pain Carla, I too am the heaviest I've ever been and that includes when I was pregnant! I so want to be thin again, but apparently not as bad as I think I do or I woul do something about it. I have lost my will power.
If anyone finds it, please return it to me! I need it bad!
We do this every winter.
