A Halloween to Remember

Fun @ the Nickelodeon Hotel
The hotel that we stayed at was definitely one of a kind. The kids loved it! They had a great pool and each room was decked out with favorite nickelodeon characters (although we had no idea who our characters were). We had a great time at the character breakfast meeting Spongebob, Dora, and Boots.

Magic Kingdom on Halloween
Disney on Halloween was great!! Even though there was record heat that day, we had an awesome time. The day was just perfect. The lines were short and we were able to go on everything we wanted to, some rides twice. The kids had so much fun going on all of the rides with their cousins. It really is the happiest place on earth!

Trick or Treating at Downtown Disney-
Well actually we decided to skip the long lines and go to Planet Hollywood instead. The next day Chris and Marc went and bought 7 bags of candy for the kids to make up for it!

We had a great vacation in Orlando last week. With the H1N1 flu going around, I just kept praying that none of us would be sick on this trip. Thankfully Kaden had the flu the week before we left, Perry got the flu towards the end of our vacation, and Emerson got came down with the flu on the way home from the airport! The timing worked out great b/c Perry was able to just sleep whenever he wanted on vacation, including at dinner and the entire 2 flights. Now we are in lockdown at our house and I am now praying that I don't get sick.

Apple Picking

The great thing about our schedule this year is that Kaden and Emerson don't have school on Tuesday's or Thursday's, which allows us to be able to have lots of fun outings on those days. Luckily we waited until we finally had a nice day around here to go apple picking. We had the orchard to ourselves and the kids loved finding the perfect apples and sampling all of them to make sure that they were good.

Happy Birthday Kaden!

Kaden turned 6 on Wednesday. He had a full day of school but luckily it was my day to volunteer so I was able to be there for part of it. He wore a birthday hat all day at school and enjoyed all of the attention he received. I bought in cupcakes for his class to celebrate.

After school we met Grandma and Evan at Red Lobster for dinner. I told Kaden that he could pick where we went to dinner. His first choice, of course, was the Japanese Steak House. I asked him what his second choice was and he said Red Lobster. He ordered crab legs off of the kids menu for his dinner and loved them!

Kaden had a great birthday and is really looking forward to his dinosaur birthday party tomorrow. I'm off to bake a dinosaur cake!

Fall Fun

Found the perfect pumpkin!

Perry kept trying to eat the pumpkins when I was taking his pictures.

It was a little cold but we had a good time at the Country Basket yesterday. We had some doughnuts, cider, and apples, played in the corn and hay, chased some kittens and goats, and picked the perfect pumpkins!

MOMS Club Halloween Party

Last week we had our MOMs Club Halloween party at our social, so I was very stressed about getting the kids Halloween costumes so early. I think that this might be the last year that I can make them wear what I want them too so I wanted to do something really cute. Since we are going to be at Disney World on Halloween, I was going to go with a Disney theme. I thought that it would be cute for Kaden to be Peter Pan, Emmy to be Tinkerbell, and Perry either Captain Hook or the alligator. Unfortunately I didn't think of this far enough ahead of time to look on eBay and the costumes from the Disney store for $50 each! So we ended up at the Halloween costume store the night before the party to find costumes. There wasn't much to pick from but I think that we got the cutest of what was there. No theme really but a very cute kitty, sock monkey, and banana!

One of the moms that is on the board with me used to be a gymboree teacher. She did some really cute things with the kids and they loved it!

Picture Time! One of our members Louise volunteered to take everyones pictures. They all turned out very cute.
