on our last day, we really still weren’t feeling the crowds and waiting, so we decided to give sea world a try. we were a little disappointed in the number of rides isaac qualified for. but we got to see the shamu show. and eat more high dollar chicken nuggets. and look super cool. ike […]
anna
florida. part 3. downtown disney.
on our second day in orlando, we decided to forego the mayhem and high cost of a disney park and instead opted for downtown disney. we hit up the lego store: and then in one of the disney stores, anna found her old friends tigger and pooh. so, naturally, derek’s dad bought them for her. […]
florida. part 2. magic kingdom.
ok. so, we woke up early and headed out from the resort that derek’s parents had provided and made our way to the magic kingdom. with cautious anticipation. long line to get into parking lot. tram line was a crazy free-for-all and i’m apparantly not cut throat enough to load my family. so after waiting […]
florida. part 1. st. pete.
sheesh. i had really hoped to post some stuff sooner. get ready for a barrage of blogging from me. first up: two fridays ago, we loaded up and headed to swampy florida. for christmas this past year, derek’s parents gave both of their kids (and respective grandchildren) some free accommodations in orlando, and some cash […]

krispy kreme valentines
valentines day. lame. except for the part where a bunch of stay at home mom friends gather at krispy kreme and let their kids feast on a healthy, wholesome breakfast of heart shaped donuts with pink sprinkles… (disclaimer: i did not get shots of all of the kids and moms. sorry.) grae: kess: anna: isaac: […]
consign.
it’s a well known fact that i don’t buy my kids new clothes. well, occasionally, i encounter something that i can’t pass up. but, mostly, my kids are clad in hand-me-downs, megathrift finds and consignment sale clothings. this friday, after i dropped ike off at school, i carted anna off to a local preschool and […]
another family visit in the books.
my mom, stepdad and brother came down for a visit this weekend. they rolled in at 330 am on saturday morning. spent three whirlwind days here. and just packed up and headed out a few minutes ago. isaac is bummed. anna is still sleeping and i’m not sure how she’ll respond. lucy (world’s dumbest dog) […]
