Watch Me Go!

I grabbed this video of Joshua and Autumn 2 days ago. Joshua isn't able to walk independently yet but if he has something to hold on to - watch out! He's quick!

Magical Disney

We returned on Sunday from our Disney World vacation with Autumn and it was truly magical. We spent 4 days while Joshua stayed home with my sister and Chris' mom. This was an all princess trip and Disney was the perfect place for our 4 year old princess!



Here is our Safari breakfast with Mickey and Friends at the Tusker House in Animal Kingdom. Lots of fun singing and dancing and great food! None of us had ever been to Animal Kingdom - what a beautiful park.



We enjoyed a great dinner at the Askershus palace in Norway with all of Autumn's favorite princesses. She especially enjoyed Sleeping Beauty, who said they could be sisters!



Goofy was his usual Goofy self as he made Autumn laugh with some silly dancing at Toon Town in the Magic Kingdom!



Ready for the 3D muppets movie at Hollywood Studios!



We were lucky to get a hug with Minnie and Daisy at Hollywood Studios too!



Autumn sharing a laugh with her Mickey balloon. She is all slicked up in sunscreen because it was HOT!



And of course....how could you possibly go to Disney World and not visit the Little Mermaid at Ariel's Grotto?! We waited in line over an hour (our longest wait the whole trip) but Autumn was in complete AWE when we finally got to see her. Her tail was glittery and gorgeous and she was so sweet with Autumn. This was our first stop on our first day and Autumn was so thrilled. All in all, a wonderful vacation and we can't wait to go back! But next time, Joshua gets to go with us!!

Sunday Sneak

So Saturday's and Sunday's are waffle breakfasts in our house for Autumn. She gets to sit in her playroom and have waffles with butter and syrup while she watches her allotment of morning cartoons. This morning while she went upstairs for a minute, Joshua decided to check out what she was eating at the table. He ate almost her entire plate! I was just cracking up laughing because she came downstairs and only had a few pieces left. Guess we now have one more thing we can serve up to him for breakfast - I would have never put syrup on his waffles which is probably why he loved them.

BTW - the mess that you see in the playroom is now gone (it was really a MESS). I took these picture about 2 hours ago and Autumn has since straightened up the whole thing so that it looks great. I have discovered a bit of a compulsiveness in my daughter. I set the kitchen timer for X minutes and see if she can beat the buzzer. She runs around putting things away and humming or singing to herself the whole time. Wish I could say I have as much fun!

And couldn't resist a shot of our one-tooth wonder. Actually, this isn't true because he does have 2 bottom teeth but you can't really see them in this shot. And he just began cutting his upper left tooth this week. But right now we call him our jack-o-lantern because he looks so silly with one giant tooth hanging out of the top of his gums!
