I am really really behind. It's funny cause I thought it's usually the summer that I am slow with the blogging but maybe it is the winter. Who knows! All I know is I have been reminded more than once that I am behind. So I am making a little promise to get here everyday even if it's to say Hi.
So there has been alot of hoopla in the Pepe House. We have a new 6 yr old and an 8 yr old. We took some trips. We've made some changes to things :). I've taken some photo classes that have just given me more to do. My little store on Etsy is chuggin along and I have a 2nd one I am opening soon with some other cute things I like to make. I am really excited about the name! Just wait! It's fun and it keeps me busy - yes I KNOW I HAVE 5 KIDS but if you haven't noticed I could have 5 more and still get things done - it's how I roll!
I took the younger 3 to Disney for Bella's birthday along with my Mom. My Aunt also met us from CT. It was a 4 day whirlwind adventure! We got to stay at the Animal Kingdom and woke up to Giraffe's outside of our bedroom. Anthony just thought we got new pets :) It was pretty incredible!
A birthday dinner fit for a princess:
and a prince of course - looking for his food
Sophia sucking on a lemon:
Loved Magic Kingdom - who doesn't?!?!
Now if you've seen my pictures from the beginning then this should look familiar. Except in the other one it's Steven standing here at the same age and he's wearing a red shirt with blue shorts. I need to get a side by side
Meeting some chipmunks:
this was cute:
Kids doing a lil "hoopin" in the street:
waiting patiently for the parade which got canceled due to the rain - that was a 1st for me - being rained out at Disney
this was how we spent most of the time - chasing the kid:
Bella was treated like a princess the whole weekend. Everywhere we went someone wished her a Happy Birthday. She wore a button that said so. At one point a street vendor stopped her and told her there was a phone call for her. All confused she took the phone and it was Goofy wishing her a Happy Birthday. The look on her face was priceless. She just freaked out! Of course, I don't have a picture but I set the scene for ya :)
The kids were excited about meeting the ducks....
Sophia just thought it was so funny that Daisy could write
she cracked up at all of them writing
A little goofy:
Agent Oso
So Anthony wanted a high 5 but he was covered in eggs and they weren't come near him - he's trying real hard
Once he got up he ran right over and got a hug
He turned around at one point and saw June and wasn't too sure
Excited about meeting Lotso
So on Sunday we went to Hollywood Studios but the night before we left Magic Kingdom I was told that Buzz and Woody aren't at MGM anymore and you have to see them at Magic Kingdom. I was so upset. I called Steve that night practically crying that Anthony wouldn't get to see him. Of course he would never know but it was important to me. So the next day we start off and we get to Hollywood Studios(MGM) and as we are walking we run right into the Toy Story ride (I had no idea was there) which had an 8 hr fast pass wait. It was crazy! Then I spotted a Toy Solider walking around. I knew then Buzz and Woody had to be there and sure enough they were! I freaked out. Grabbed the kids and stood on line for 50 min WITHOUT a stroller so Anthony could meet them.
The wait when through a maze with picture spots along the way
We round the corner and we are up next. At that moment Anthony starts hysterical crying. I'm thinking to myself " great all this and he won't even go near them". Well that wasn't the case. He was mad he couldn't go up to them cause I was holding him. So just as the family ahead of us walk away I put Anthony down and he runs over to Woody and gives him the biggest hug. Everyone starts crying - blubbering messes we all turned into. He wouldn't let go:
I have a lot more but this was what I had handy - the photographer took 25 pictures. She couldn't get over how cute Anthony was meeting them.
