just for fun

I already posted one time today, but I decided to post this just for fun. We are really looking forward to our vacation coming up. Here is a sneak peek at what fun we will have.....Magic Kingdom...Cinderella's castle. I love how Disney shapes its plants into animals and Disney characters. It is soooo much fun to look at.
This is Expedition Everest....a roller coaster at Animal Kingdom. It was being built last time we were there. Can not wait to ride this! Look how cool it looks at night! Love it.

This is a "famous" kitchen sink sundae at Disney's beach club resort. It is 8 scoops of ice cream, all the toppings, oreos, pound cake, brownie, milky way bar, angle food cake, marshmallow cream, a whole can of whipped cream all served in a huge bowl that looks like a kitchen sink. The lights flash when they bring it to your table. We are going to order one this time. Good thing I'm dieting now! Yummy!


Probably the most BEAUTIFUL places on earth in my opinion is Epcot. Look at all the beautiful flowers they have. This park is the first one we will visit this year. Can not wait!



Love the signs on the highway to the resorts....so cool and really get you excited to get to "the World".





More plants from Epcot. These are everywhere in Disney parks. They are amazing. The gardeners do a lot of work behind the scenes to make this place soooo clean and beautiful....
No wonder it is considered the Happiest place on earth!




The night time firework display at Magic Kingdom....they do this every single night. It is so awesome. The best fireworks display I have ever seen!







Room Redecorating

I haven't had much to blog about lately, but I may be back now. I am so glad that the weather is better and the kids can now play outside. We were soo tired of being cooped up in the house with the cold weather.
We are working on converting Charlie's room into a "big boy" room now. We have taken down the baby bed for the last time. No more babies to put to bed in it anymore. Kind of sad, but exciting at the same time. Here is the starting of Charlie's room makeover. We still have got to paint it, but this is the a start.
He has a 27 inch TV in here that he can watch.
This is Ashley's old bed that we moved in here. I really like all the colors in his comforter set. It will really look great when we get rid of the ugly white walls in there. I'm not a huge fan of white walls....I love color! He has a little 9 inch tv on his dresser for his dvd watching. It is really just right for him to lay on his bed and watch a movie.
Kelley gave me all of the Car decorations for his room. I have more in the closed that I haven't hung up yet, but will after we paint and get new window treatments.

Ashley's room just got a slight "face lift". All of her bedding and colors have been in here, we just added the bunk beds, and rearranged a little.


No room would be complete with out Edward watching over you! HAHA



I like that she now has a little sitting area to watch TV or read in her saucer chair. Now if she'll just keep it clean?

updates....

I have no pictures to post today. My camera battery is dead and I keep forgetting to charge it. I have missed out on lots of picture opportunities lately. So here is just a quick update on what we are doing.
Charlie is completely potty trained. It took him less than 2 weeks. I'm still in shock about it, but am so proud of him for his big accomplishment. I am starting to think BIRTHDAY for him already. I can't believe he'll be 3 soon. I don't know, as of yet, what kind of party we are doing yet. I am torn between Mickey Mouse Club House or Trains. These are two of his favorite things. I'll probably do trains, since 10 days after his birthday we are going to an 8 day Walt Disney vacation. He'll get plenty of Mickey Mouse then!!!
Ashley is doing well. She still in jujitsu, but we have taken a small break for a couple of weeks. The cold, snow and family illness has put a damper on that. She is getting so tall.....pretty soon she'll be taller tan me. She is ready for summer vacation for sure.
Hopefully I'll remember to charge my camera battery soon, and my blogging inspiration will return soon.
Hope all is well!
