30 Days until Summer!

We woke up this morning to a little surprise! It's hard to believe that it's only one month until summer.

Over spring break we took the kids to Disney World! We kept it a secret for 2 months and boy were the kids surprised! We flew out on a Saturday and had 5 full days to spend at all of the different parks before returning home VERY EARLY Friday morning. Zoe's requests over spring break were to go swimming, play at the park, and spend the night with Granny. On the Friday prior to our trip, we told the kids we were going to a hotel in San Francisco to go swimming. The next morning, we told Zoe that we had heard there were good parks in Minnesota (where our layover was). We told her we were getting on a plane to check it out. When we landed in Minneapolis Steve told her that he read on the plane that there were even better parks in Florida and that we were getting on a second plane and going to Florida (at this point Zoe was completely blown away!). We arrived in Orlando very late, checked into our wonderful 4 BD/3 BA townhouse and went to bed. Early the next morning, we told the kids it was time to get dressed and ready so we could head out to find those parks. When we were literally driving under the Disney World sign we spilled the beans. The kids were so excited! We all had a wonderful time! It truly was the "Happiest Place on Earth".

Happy 5th Birthday!

Today was Zoe's birthday party. This year she decided to have a fairy party. The girls each dressed up in their finest fairy attire. I gave each of the girls fairy wings and flowery headbands to help complete their ensembles. They drank raspberry lemonade from "fancy" glasses and ate delectable fairy treats (a.k.a cheese and crackers and fruit cut into butterfly, flower, and star shapes) I also make cookie wands and mini cupcakes that resembled amanita mushrooms. During the party, the girls went on a fairy treasure hunt and found rings and buttons. After the treasure hunt, the girls came back and made bracelets out of their treasures. All in all the girls had a wonderful time! Happy Birthday Zoe!
