Trent had his company picnic at Disneyland this year which was wonderful! Never are you able to go for a whole family for less than $100!! AND, thanks to my most wonderful neighbor, Andrew was able to stay with her for the day and just the girls made the trip. We had a FANTASTIC time! At the luncheon, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Donald all came to visit so we got to have as much time as we wanted with them which was great b/c when I saw the lines out in the park to see them, I was so grateful! The girls loved seeing them, Hannah asking to "touch Mickey's ears and Minnie's bow" and Caroline giving them hugs. They loved the park rides as well -- Dumbo ride, the teacups, Sleeping Beauty's Carousel.... you name it, we went on every one. We took some time to rest and watched the parade which was fantastic. Disney does not do anything halfway -- the costumes were exquisite, dancing perfect, even all of the dancers / performers teeth were perfectly white. We also enjoyed Frontierland and Adventureland which we hadn't really checked out before. Even after dark, the girls (mainly Caroline) wanted to keep riding the rides and seeing the sites. We had a great day with them!
Andrew is still such a smiley baby. Whenever I have the camera out, he follows me around with it saying "cheese" and then he poses for his picture! He is learning to stand up all by himself and has taken a couple of tiny steps but is still too unsure to start walking. I'm keeping my fingers crossed he walks sooner than Hannah did. We are tired of the dirty pants and hands all the time! He loves playing with his sisters and trying out their toys including their crayons, markers and Play-doh! He also keeps them laughing. He does this funny thing where he scrunches up his nose and breathes really hard -- Daddy calls him the bull. He is a good eater so far and likes Mommy's cooking which is a good thing. He just loves to snuggle up to me and is learning to play by himself very well also which is giving Mommy back a little of her sanity!
Hannah, oh Hannah...I have one child that loves to dress up as a fireman or superhero and I have one that LOVES her tutus. She comes to me every morning and says, "Mommy, where's my princess dress?" in that cute little raspy voice. She has worn it countless times (with the heels) to drop Caroline off at school, to the grocery store, to the park, you name it. She had a complete fit when I had to wash it and asked about it for days -- I had to hand wash it and it took a few days to dry. That child loves to dress up!
