We just returned from a week at Mickey Mouse's House! And while I love Disney, I will never again go during the Holidays or Summer!!!! My children will miss a week of school to go in the off season than to go when the rest of the world has vacation too. We're talking 2 hour lines for rides that last 15-20 seconds sometimes!!!! Evi loved it though. Each time we left a park, she did not want to go. She wanted nothing to do with the characters, but didn't mind looking at them from a distance. As you can see from the pix with Minnie Mouse, she hid her face when I tried to get her to take a pix with her. Some of the rides scared h
er a little, especially if they were dark. Any of the "interactive" rides or 3D shows absolutely terrified her. So the ones that sprayed water, shot air or anything like that, she screamed and cried. She rode her first roller coaster though, and absolutely loved it. She had a smile plastered to her face the whole ride and said "AGAIN" when it was done.We spent a small fortune on pins for her lanyard. It weighed almost as much as she did by the time we left! I made a little sheet to hang in her lanyard with everyone's cell # on it just in case we lost her, but luckily it nev
er happened! There were just too many people there to let her run free, so she was in her stroller or on Scott's shoulders the whole time. I did ride some roller coasters, so if Lonestar is a little off, we'll know why! : )Oh, yea, I have been trying to find a good Texas name to call this baby since we called Evi "Tex" while I pregers with her and someone suggested "Lonestar" and I think I really like it! So, Lonestar it is!
Christmas was a success
. Santa brought Evi quite the loot. And since we left Christmas day for our trip, we were able to bribe her with her Christmas toys again by reminding her of them when it was time to leave Disney. Otherwise she would have never left! The cutest has been a microphone with stand and speaker. We have already had concerts. Right now it's really cute, but I know we'll be sick of it in the future. And poor Evi, she inherited both her parents lack of musical talent!We spent 2 days with Scott's sister and her family in Tampa before we went to Orlando. Both days were spent on the beach. Evi's first beach trip. (she is making a sand angel in t
his pix) She loved the sand. She was afraid of the waves the first day, but had Scott in the cold water the next day. I am on a huge kick to try and get Scott to move there. It would be perfect. I would be within driving distance of a base. And there is no winter there!! I love it!! Of course, people keep saying it's hot there in the summer, but it is here in OKC too, and then I have to deal with winter weather which I can't stand. And that's what air conditioning is for. And it woul
d still be an easy nonstop flight to Houston for me to see my mommy. So if anyone knows of a good job for Scott in Tampa, let him know!!!!When we left Florida it was a lovely 80*, went through Houston where it was 73*, and then I had to go get the car in OKC where it was a balmy 35* with 30mph winds from the north. I hate OKC!
Funny Things Evi's said:
*It's freakin' me out!
*I don't love Santa
Speaking of Santa, I could not get Evi to take a pix with the big man. My only option was to let her watch ChaCha get dressed in a Santa outfit. And that actually worked, kind of. She wasn't afraid of him but still cried when I tried to put her on his lap. Oh well, maybe nex
t year.I recently went back to my pixie hair cut from college, and boy does it show all my gray!! And there is lots of it! I did this when I found out I was pregers with Evi too but then decided to immediately grow it out. I like the cut this time, and plan on keeping it. It will make mornings easier since I can now shower at night and refix my hair in the morning. Couldn't do that before, I had to shower
in the morning. My husband says morning showers are invigorating and wake you up, I say they just piss me off more because that's 5 more minutes I could have slept! Especially when I'm at work and reporting at 5 AM!!!!If you want to see more pix from Tampa or Disney you can see them on our picture site:
