Cookies & Pumpkins!

A couple weeks before Halloween I bought a cookie decorating kit at Walmart. Emma & I spent one afternoon decorating, it was a lot of fun!

They turned out really cute....sadly they didn't taste as good as they looked. The cookies were pre-made & pretty hard. We ate a few & then tossed the rest... it was a fun memory though.

A day a little closer to Halloween week, we painted our baby pumpkins!

Both kids thought this was pretty fun.

They took their work very seriously.

This was definitely a hit - we'll do it again next year!! :)

Disney World - Day 4

We spent the 4th day at Hollywood Studios! It was a great pick for our last day, we did it as a half day & rested that morning.

Henry finally got a hat of his own...

Our family

Em & Nanny

Under the hat

Fake city, lol

My cutie waiting for lunch

We at lunch at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater. It was a cool concept, we ate in cars & watched old Sci Fi movies on a big screen. Sadly the food was just ok & Henry was difficult the whole time....

Our car

This is how Henry spent the whole meal, hanging over the back of our seat, letting Nanny feed him. It was annoying.

We went to the Beauty & the Beast show, which was a highlight! Both kids LOVE shows. Seriously, Henry just sits there, stares, & points. He even claps at the appropriate times.

All the excitement wore him out. He took a nap...

And David, Emma, & I used our fastpasses to ride the Tower of Terror. Now, keep in mind David & I had no desire to ride this ride, this was ALL Emma. She asked to ride it the very first day we spent at Disney. She is crazy.

Here she is before...

And after! She was a little scared, but liked it & asked to ride it again. We said NO.

Cool dude in Mommy's shades.

She did get to ride the Star Wars (Star Tours) ride twice. She liked it. Actually, she liked it way more than Nanny & Papa did....they said it was too intense for them :)

We ate dinner at Pizza Planet & then got to use our fastpasses for Toy Story Mania!!!! Which was awesome! One of my favorite rides for sure! Emma asked to ride it again too, but with a 90 minute wait at 8pm, we said no.

We headed back to the condo to pack it up & head out the next morning. Henry's picture below sums up how we all felt on the way home - we were exhausted (with crazy hair, lol)!!!

We had the best trip & can't wait to get to go again!!!!! It truly is the Happiest Place on Earth & my kids were so well behaved, I was very proud!

Disney World - Day 3

Day 3 was spent at Epcot!

Henry decided he liked my dad's hat, so he wore it on & off all day.

Emma got tired & talked my dad into buying her a stroller.... Papas...

Riding Living with the Land. We all love this ride....We rode it once all together, David, Henry, & I rode it once while Emma, Nanny, & Papa rode soaring, and then Nanny, Papa, & Henry rode it once while David, Emma, & I took our turn. Henry rode it 3 times. The line was short :)

After riding Nemo, we had to get the kids' picture in the shark's mouth..

We quickly headed over to our Princess Lunch in Norway! Emma was such a pretty Belle :)

Emma & Belle

With Sleeping Beauty

And with Ariel, her favorite.

Emma gave the Princess lunch 2 thumbs up! We got to see Belle, Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White, & Ariel. She was in heaven. The food was pretty good too (especially the dessert!)

Henry riding Living with the Land his third time with Papa :) Speaking of, we LOVED Soarin'. Emma rode it twice. Definitely our favorite ride at Epcot.
