LOVE the Hippy Dippy Pool!! We've spent some fun family time there ourselves. Great update. Haven't met the kid yet who doesn't live to swim in the hotel pool.

What a great night! Some of our best times at Disney have been spent hanging around that nifty baby pool at Pop. Glad you have such a sweet memory of that night.

Your big kids sitting at a table alone made me teary. In the backseat of the car today, my four year old was telling his baby brother that one day they'd be big enough to play at Disney without "those people" as he pointed to his father and me! They're in such a rush to grow up and I'm not looking forward to the day they're "too cool" to sit with us! Love that your daughter came back to you. She's so sweet hugging her baby sister!

Oh my gosh, thats too stinkin cute!! They say the darndest things sometimes! It feels like them getting older just all started happening so suddenly...I cant believe I have a 12 year old already it seems like just yesterday he was a baby. This growing up thing is for the birds. I wish they would just knock it off. lol

Why thank you! I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I had a whole section in my planner specifically for planning outfits. I told my husband it was just for "organizational" purposes.

AMAZING!! Well heck yes it was for organizational purposes! There's flippin' 8 of them! BUT he doesn't need to know the fashion end of it, now does he?!?! lol. My dad always used to say "that's not my department" haha as in, your mom handles the clothes, take it up with her. Well, can't wait to read more. I'm absolutely gaga over your family!

Hi! Your kids are so cute! I like the picture at Animal Kingdom with all eight of them in it. We are staying at Pop in December, so it is nice to read a Pop TR. I am looking forward to trying that Tie-Dye cheesecake!

It is funny how kids only want to swim at Disney. There is a home video of my brother and me when we are kids after a day at Disney and our dad is trying to get us to talk about the cool things we did that day and all we can talk about is the pool. Luckily, my boys are still too young to ask when they can go swimming this trip.

Smart dad! haha...you should see some of the interesting things my husband comes up with when he dresses them. I was getting some of Lilas baby clothes together the other day to give to Goodwill, and I don't know how it happened, but somehow, a pair of her baby jeans ended up with Rowans clothes and my husband put them on him! lol He said he didnt know they were hers...I was like, "their are hearts on the pockets???"

Thats too funny, I bet my kids would be the same way! When they would get outta hand at the park, we'd try on of those "We can always go back to the hotel if you dont want to behave," type lectures, and boy did they always backfire in our faces! lol They would get excited and want to know if we would be going into the pool.....I guess they missed the point of the talk!
