Bibbiddi Bobbidi Boo!

We chose to forgo presents for Annie this year for her birthday.  We really felt like she didn’t need a bunch of new toys and that her current amount was sufficient.  So we took her to the Bibbidi Bobbedi Boutique at Disneyland instead.

I cringed a little when she chose the pink hair.  I know it’s so hypocritical of me, but I did anyway.  I wanted her to have the cute little girl princess hair, not the crazy pop diva pink hair, but it was HER birthday so I let her choose.

Happy birthday, Annie!  We love you!

Through Their Eyes

Last Sunday my kids were begging me to use my camera.  Now that they are bigger I thought it might be a fun idea  I am all about giving my kids new opportunities.  So here it is through the eyes of Hudson and Annie.

.

I know we aren’t very exciting, but I figured Hudson and Annie sitting on the bed taking pictures using my kit lens was the best bet in case of accidental camera droppings.  And quite frankly, my bed is the most comfortable place to be in the house.

Clearly Hudson likes being the photographer much more than the photographee…just like his dad!

I had to put this one in there.  That is my tongue not my bottom lip…crazy, right?

She may be blurry, but Hudson has a way of making her smile!

Then the Circus Came to Town…

So can you guess what I bought that I don’t need?  I’ve actually been getting better about frivolous purchases, but I strayed this particular day.  I’m not worried though because my kids think I’m the bees knees now.  And yes, I noticed the toastier parts.  I just wasn’t fast enough out of the gate to spoon the batter into all those little leg and tail parts.  Next time, I resolve to do better.  I bought a convenient little squeeze bottle.  I think we’re golden!  Haha…get it?!…oh…I know Will may have his Star Wars pancakes, but now I have monkey waffles.  You know you want to do breakfast at our house!

Words I Never Thought Would Part My Lips…

…at least in this order.

Me Hey look I found 2 slugs.  Do you guys want some pets?

An hour later… 

Hudson and Annie Can we have a black knife to make our slugs seatbelts?

Me  Huh?…What?!  No, you can’t have a knife to make your slug a seatbelt.

Hudson Oops…Mom, I think I killed Annie’s slug.

Me  Your seatbelt killed her slug?!…Oh the irony…

Hudson Yup.  I tried to to get it out with my fingers and my fingers turned sticky and red.

Annie  GIVE ME BACK MY SLUG!!!

Hudson  It’s okay, now it can be necklace with a dead slug.  Look, Annie!  It’s a dead slug on a cross.  Whenever you see an animal on a cross, it’s most likely dead.

Me  Hmmm…..

Annie Let’s make a bed for YOUR slug, Hudson.

Me Good luck with that.

I really bring this all on myself.

The Many Faces

This is why I don’t mind standing in lines at Disneyland.

I love my family!

So much personality and sass!

Side note: Yes, we went back to Disneyland again, but we just have so much fun when were there.
