DISNEY part 1

Just back from Disney, and we had an AWESOME time! We were in the parks for 7 days straight, and although exhausted by the end of the week, we did EVERYTHING we wanted to (and then some) and have so many wonderful memories. The kids were SO well behaved! It was 80 degree's for the first three days, and in the mid 70's the rest of the trip... we only had one day of rain (the last day).

Turns out the last day was kinda rough for us, with the rain we decided to head back to the hotel a bit early (7ish) to get all our packing done and dry off. Our bus was delayed due to a car accident and we didn't get home until 8ish. Almost as soon as we got back I started feeling sick... within the hour Peter and I were violently throwing up (like I still have broken blood vessels in my eyelids)... Kayla was puking pretty much right after. We were hoping it was just something the three of us ate, but in the middle of the night (we were all still getting sick) Matt and Julie also started getting sick... we got food poisoning from Cosmic Rays (lunch)... yuck! We tried to make alternate arrangements for our flight out the next morning, but it would have cost up at least $500, and we didn't have the budget for that... so we dragged our butts to the airport (poor Julie was still REALLY sick) and made our flight by minutes. Turns out Janet got sick too... bet she wishes she had gone to the spa instead of the parks on her last day!

We were extremely thankful to be home, and have spent the past few days trying to get back to normal. Regardless of the crappy couple days following our trip, nothing can take away from the awesome time we had!

I got told.


Yesterday, after realizing the mess that Matt and Kayla had made in the basement I was giving them the big "your four years old and should know better" lecture.

Kayla looked at me, with her deep brown eyes and said with her hands on my face...

"Mom, MOM! You clean, me clean, Matt clean, it gets all cleaned up... we go upstairs and eat dinner and everyone feel better".

How could I still be upset after that?

Apparently, I was crabby, because I was hungry.
