Mommy Monday - April 2014


This was a somewhat hectic month for us. We returned from our month long leave back to the good ole' USA, leaving the kids slightly jet lagged and everyone a little off. After getting back into the swing of things the rest of the month has gone pretty smoothly. Anyways here is the montly update on the kiddos!

Also we have decided to add to our family. We are currently in the process of adopting an American Staffordshire Terrier puppy, which Mr.W has decided to name "Vader" (yes, like darth vader) Can't wait to introduce him to everyone!

Our Disney Vacation

As you may have seen from my previous post. Its been on my bucket list to go to Disney with my husband and kids, especially since none of them had ever been before. Well I finally got to cross that off the list! My wonderfully amazing husband took all of us for mine and Lilly's birthday!

Day One: Disney Hollywood Studios.
Our first ride of they day was "Star Tours" and then we started working our way around the rest of the park with the "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure", then went to meet Buzz and Woody (but the line was too long), Then we went and Lilly got to meet Princess Sofia, which pretty much made her whole day. After that we decided to go see the "Voyage of The Little Mermaid" show, followed by lunch at PIZZA PLANET, where the food was good and Lilly got to play some games with Mr.W. Once we finished lunch we went and got our fastpasses for "The Great Movie Ride" "Tower of Terror" and "Rock 'n' Roller Coaster" between the movie ride and tower of terror we attended the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular and Light, Motors, Action! car stunt show. We finished our day by catching the early show for "Fantasmic!" and then headed back to the hotel for the night.


Day Two: Disney Animal Kingdom
We decided to start by getting our fastpasses for the day, then made our way over to "Expedition Everest" and did one of the trails where we got to see some tigers and bats! We then headed over to see "Finding Nemo: The Musical" and I must say that it was pretty adorable. Then we went to "Adventurers Outpost" where we got to meet Mickey and Minnie Mouse! We then had lunch at the "Rainforest Cafe" once we finished we went on the "Kilimanjaro Safaris" Logan slept through the whole thing and we got done just in time to catch the PARADE. Once the crowd cleared we went over to DinoLand me and Mr. W rode "Dinosaur" and took lilly on "Triceratops Spin" and met Goofy and Pluto! Then we made our way over to the tree of lfe and watched "It's Tough to be a Bug!" we also went to "Rafiki's Planet Watch" where lilly met Chip and Dale and then we headed out for the day.


Day Three: EPCOT
Our day started with a ride on "Spaceship Earth" followed by a visit to "Innovations" where Lilly got to put together an emergency kit, and me and Mr.W designed a rollercoaster on "Sum of the Thrills" we then went and got our fastpasses starting with "The Seas with Nemo & Friends" then walking around the aquarium. We then went to the Electric Umbrella for lunch, and then began our walk around the world showcase we got to Norway and found the line to meet Anna and Elsa from Frozen We took turns standing in the 3 hour line to meet them, but it was definitely worth it to see Lilly so happy. Once we were done with that we went over to "Test Track" and "Mission Space" followed by watching "Illuminations" and then heading out!


Day Four: Magic Kingdom
Once we were inside the park we walked over toward Tomorrowland and went to the "Laugh Floor" and then "Space Mountain" after that Lilly and Mr.W went on "Dumbo"  we walked around over toward the castle so that Lilly could meet Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty then we grabbed some lunch from Casey's Corner. Then we went on "The Barnstormer","Under The Sea", Lilly got to meet Ariel, "Big Thunder Mountain Railroad", "Peter Pan's Flight", "It's a Small World", "The Haunted Mansion" Had dinner at the Tomorrowland Terrace followed by "Stitch's Great Escape" "Incredibles Super dance Party" and then the "Main Street Electrical Parade" and then "Wishes nighttime spectacular" and that was the end of our amazing trip!


It was so much fun and I couldn't be happier that we were able to go. The kids had a blast. Even though Logan slept through parts of it, and Lilly was so excited she could hardly function, I can hardly wait to do it all again in a few years!

Jet Lagged

So as most of you already know we went back to the states, for leave, last month. And we had a BLAST!!! We went to Florida for 2 weeks and Michigan for 2 weeks. We went to SeaWorld, Disney World, the beach, deer feeding, snowman building, and had a bowling party for Lilly's Birthday. But now we are home and the kids are having a difficult time adjusting to the time change again.

The first night was fine. Everyone was so tired that we were all in bed by 10pm. But every night since than hasn't been so easy. I'll try and put them in bed between 8-9 like usual but Logan wakes back up between 1-3 am and is awake for a couple hours at least. Lilly wakes up too, but she just hangs out in her room watching movies or playing with her toys. Last night was the first night in over a week that they both actually slept through the night. IT WAS A MIRACLE!!! 
I will make separate posts for our trips to Florida and Michigan soon.
