Sigh. At first Mackenzie didn't really understand. We would stop at the treat tables and she didn't get it. Then I gave her the sheet to hand over. Well she loved that. She would march up to the table and put her paper down. She didn't really get that she was supposed to collect a treat until the last of 8 tables. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1wWq2OKep9uovg2KkZH4PxDQVsjelqJ19L7ddvMZ6VmDS6dWHIPDxKrcQH5WjsFjc-Exb6Y4TG-JVEgz6c8J3ydYhb3Ql6I9nSPPnjDylBmkdzCk8IjcDJhFA8ePoFwUHhAj9EN9dRP4/s640/blogger-image--1954428459.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1wWq2OKep9uovg2KkZH4PxDQVsjelqJ19L7ddvMZ6VmDS6dWHIPDxKrcQH5WjsFjc-Exb6Y4TG-JVEgz6c8J3ydYhb3Ql6I9nSPPnjDylBmkdzCk8IjcDJhFA8ePoFwUHhAj9EN9dRP4/s640/blogger-image--1954428459.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">And we even found some crayons that worked there!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb3Md4MAAJAf5aXzvmy0fckTxY4ngArjkhp2zY-l7I1Qbjuy02q0UbYVsQ6Mu4yU_ZzzSW6AJ2rWx7gp91hqyDze4DD7_2oipXsMEU3g42PpmNuV7-_ToFC_-NKUcxcdT7BDs6VI9kmB0/s640/blogger-image-488902792.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb3Md4MAAJAf5aXzvmy0fckTxY4ngArjkhp2zY-l7I1Qbjuy02q0UbYVsQ6Mu4yU_ZzzSW6AJ2rWx7gp91hqyDze4DD7_2oipXsMEU3g42PpmNuV7-_ToFC_-NKUcxcdT7BDs6VI9kmB0/s640/blogger-image-488902792.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So, our costumes. Originally Austin was going to be sulley, Mackenzie was going to be boo. I was going to get Dave to be mike and me Celia, but Dave had to work. And they don't make boo costumes anymore. So I bought fabric to make a boo costume.</div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Then, I went on the hunt for a sulley costume. I checked all 4 of the pop up Halloween stores in Edmonton, and had them call their other locations in the city. They carried 2t, 3t, and then size 4-6. Or I could go with a men's large/xl. If I wanted to go girl sulley I could get sizes between toddler and adult. I scoured eBay, amazon, costume express, everywhere. No one had a sulley costume between size 6 and men's large. We live in Alberta, it's cold. We need costumes to go over snow suits. We could get away with a 6 inside but not over a coat.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So we went to the Halloween store one night and we walked through the store. Austin's favorite colour is green. Everything has to be green. So when he saw he could be a green crayon, he was excited! (This is after I did say no to him being chucky) I thought I would check on toddler sizes. Sure enough they had one Mackenzie's size. However only in blue. We decided to get them. Mackenzie wouldn't take it off in the store and walked around wearing it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid0oxstVTlXfnNEH_xsoVqnqwAK10ekG_hu5g1gkx9SEQDj4MuXnEGz0O5k7C9Qzj5ObOiPGbu0QoDUlT2k4WTf_qPVdnAj9eGcsGJC_FyKmQJIS-6ptzh83hce5oxCIAwnMlFP-tjItg/s640/blogger-image-587654720.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid0oxstVTlXfnNEH_xsoVqnqwAK10ekG_hu5g1gkx9SEQDj4MuXnEGz0O5k7C9Qzj5ObOiPGbu0QoDUlT2k4WTf_qPVdnAj9eGcsGJC_FyKmQJIS-6ptzh83hce5oxCIAwnMlFP-tjItg/s640/blogger-image-587654720.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTvfwwUxUO3ewECo1tRLUflQJGeLHHZcHugHGsdZPRL6juOZ7Da6wxuXTs16ir2iWL37UTeRifLTyzA_bcQ6b9rL2Qatbvi1DNu0C9PurPlE-IGir8Qh_OW1UzWFIQFSBncj8GaJj0VTA/s640/blogger-image-1834947110.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTvfwwUxUO3ewECo1tRLUflQJGeLHHZcHugHGsdZPRL6juOZ7Da6wxuXTs16ir2iWL37UTeRifLTyzA_bcQ6b9rL2Qatbvi1DNu0C9PurPlE-IGir8Qh_OW1UzWFIQFSBncj8GaJj0VTA/s640/blogger-image-1834947110.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I even picked up a costume for me in a moment of Halloween spirit.

And we got to witness this: big horned sheep eating a truck. The guy jumped out to take a picture of all the sheep, left his door open, and this sheep thought he would check it out and have a snack. I said its a good thing we shut our doors, or we would never get them out of the van with the amount of goldfish crackers in the backseat. </div>

While we were in calgary we went and checked out the zoo. They had pictures of all the flooding they sustained. I had no idea that half the zoo was on an island! Obviously it being only a month after the flooding the part of the zoo on the island was still closed. They were saying it will take up to 5 years and close to 5 million dollars to recover from the flood. So crazy. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Also, this picture is of their penguin who had an infection in his foot and it was being rubbed raw. They ordered him special penguin booties to prevent that, but they didn't fit. So, they improvised using beer cozies. You can see one foot cozied in the picture. How cute is that. </div>

Same thing as with Austin. We got a great deal on an awesome bed and had to get it for her. Then, I'm impatient and just really want to set it up. Haha. <br>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
We had some issues... Our house is small so we had to leave it outside until we were ready to set it up. I carefully arranged it so if it rained, the bed would still be fine, and none of the cardboard decorations would be ruined. Then, someone moved it to mow the lawn and he left it the wrong way up so water pooled in it. Sigh. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
So, I scrubbed it down, took off the decorations and moved it inside. </div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Finally after getting sick of having to move to watch the tv, I decided screw it. She's getting her bed. </div>

She was excited. She was looking at all the things on the sheet set, she was bouncing, laughing, doing anything but sleep pretty much. Eventually though, she did pass out. </div>

The next day I continually couldn't find Mackenzie. She kept going to her room and climbing into her bed and just play on her bed. When I put her down for a nap, I'm not entirely sure if she even napped. So of course that night went quicker on bed time.</div>

Fast forward a week, and she's figured out how to get out of the bed. oh yay. Last night she kept getting up and not wanting to go to bed. I did the same thing we did with Austin. Close his door. She of course got up, went to the door and started crying because she couldn't get it open. And again, I did the same thing we did with Austin. I sat on the other side of the door and told her it was ok and to go climb into bed. It was time for bed. Well, she instead decided to just lay down and sleep on the floor with her blanket. Whatever floats your boat baby. Whatever.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpHjWcWPKikYTwxK0-m_a2oFhaWvAtC3biaA79l45Of0huSKvD_mmQXmXhM_leg8FodPFQuiu622fVbbaSU0H-OvBlsajXMOz_J_qECtSXOunFyhDSiNy_AW6jFgwu9lJdQi-3m8rUcF0/s640/blogger-image-1716757024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpHjWcWPKikYTwxK0-m_a2oFhaWvAtC3biaA79l45Of0huSKvD_mmQXmXhM_leg8FodPFQuiu622fVbbaSU0H-OvBlsajXMOz_J_qECtSXOunFyhDSiNy_AW6jFgwu9lJdQi-3m8rUcF0/s640/blogger-image-1716757024.jpg"></a></div><br></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The other night I threw both kids in the bath. Mackenzie was playing with her water spraying toys, Austin was playing with his hot wheels. They were having fun. Mackenzie kept drinking the water (insert dry heave here) and Austin kept farting in the water. If course I had to say "stop drinking the water! Your brother farted in it." Sigh. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, they are content playing with their separate toys. Until Mackenzie finds a new toy.... It's dangling in the water....... Between her brother's legs. She reaches over. I pull her away as she grabs on. Her brother of course is like what the hell?!?!? I decide this is the best time to stop playtime and start washing and getting out.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Both kids are now out of the bath. Austin is drying himself off. He looks at me all serious. "Mommy, what is this?" I look over, yeah..... "Well, that's a ball, or well, a testicle. You have 2 of them." So he tries to find the other one. Of course. Then, he tells me - "look mommy, it looks like lungs." How, at this point how I haven't started laughing like a lunatic, I have no idea. I explain that it may look like a set of lungs, but they do not do the same thing as lungs. He points to his chest, says "here is one set of lungs, and here is the other" pointing to his newly discovered testicles. All I could think was dear god, do not let him bring this up at camp tomorrow. Please. So I tell him again, they are not lungs, then wrap him back up in his towel. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But this story isn't done yet... Towards the end of the testicle discussion, Mackenzie catches sight of that new dangly toy again. So she's right beside him as I'm trying to put his towel on, trying to lift his towel to see it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At that point I looked at the clock, and said "oh good, bedtime" </div>

This year, I don't have to think of some really random and stupid excuse to wander the aisles of back to school stuff. This year I have a kid going to school. *tiny little tear*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I mean, last year he was at the preschool at the school he's going to this year. He had a supply list, but it didn't include much fun things. (it had wipes, kleenex, change of clothes, markers, you know, kind of boring stuff) This year includes notebooks, duotangs, markers, pencil cases, oh my I could go on and on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ok, so he really did need the pretty purple composition book. I know that he just needs that for kindergarten. I got him his fancy 1/2 plain 1/2 lined notebooks. But I just know that in a month he's going to need a 4 pack of fully lined notebooks in different colors. OF COURSE HE IS!!!!! And multicolored pens!?!?!?! YES!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But seriously, I have a problem. We definitely bought more supplies then needed. Especially since last year I bought him a pencil case with pencils and cool erasers.... That he never used. meh. And this year, instead of buying it all in one shot, I'm breaking up the buying. Because, well, I'm cheap. So I've been watching for sales. But, this is a good thing. Instead of wandering the aisles once, I get to do it over and over again!!! (I'm already at 3 times, and we still have stuff on the list and 2 weeks left.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Stationary-aholics unite!!! join me in our pen clicking paper sniffing ways!!!!! (Not that I do that.....) Embrace your love for all things back to school. Ride carts singing "It's the most wonderful time of the year" Rejoice with me!!!!! If you're looking for me, I'll be at Staples. Maybe doing this...</div>

Sunday May 28th!<br />
<br />
This morning we got in the van and started our way to Sunny California! Again, I slept a lot. I also read a lot. (I finished the Hunger games series in about 3 days)<br />
<br />
Today our plan was to head to Legoland once we got to Carlsbad. We ordered our tickets online, got 20% off and a free second day, but had to put in our first visit day. The downside to that, was by this time I had most of my energy back, but Stephanie, was just getting hit by the bug. <br />
<br />
We still went to Legoland, but only did the Aquarium attached to it. We went through the aquarium, had lunch, then took the short not even 5 min drive to our rental house. I was surprised at just how close the house was! And the house was so beautiful!!! Such a great place to spend a week at!<br />

I am not going to sugar coat it. It sucked with a capital S.<br />
<br />
I woke up feeling great, we got everyone ready for breakfast. The kids were getting antsy and I still had to pee. I told Dave to go ahead, I would catch up with them. <br />
<br />
Suddenly I got the chills. I could barely grab toilet paper because I was shaking so hard. I tried so hard to get the chills to stop, but I just couldn't. Finally I made my way towards the window with the warm sun shining in on me while I wrapped myself in a fleece blanket. I sent Dave a text telling him not to wait for me. He came back to the room, bundled me up in bed, gave me some aleve and kept the kids out of the hotel room for me. I slept off and on all day. <br />

Gathered enough strength to go to the buffet for dinner. And had a few bites then felt sick. UGH.<br />
<br />
We watched some TV in our room, and everyone went to bed. Of course because I had been sleeping all day I was awake, so I alternated between reading and people watching out our window.<br />

Someone decided she wanted to wake up around midnight. That someone was Mackenzie. Dave and I put her in bed with us and she tossed and turned and cried. <br />
And cried. We knew the hotel walls weren't very soundproof so we gave up around 4:30 and started getting ready for the day. <br />
<br />
We were all ready to go by 5, which was just as breakfast was put out. Bonus! We ate breakfast and were on the road by 6.<br />

My one thing about this trip, is I knew we would be eating a lot of fast food while driving. I also know that the States have a lot of fast food places we don't have in Canada. I wanted to try them out! I did not want to eat McDonalds for 3 weeks straight. No thank you. So today when we started to get hungry I started looking for new places to eat. We stopped about 12:30 for lunch and we tried out Jack in the Box. Dave got a burger and said it was nothing special. I got the chicken burger, thought maybe it could use more sauce but, I am very much a sauce person.<br />

When planning our trip, my friend Sara offered for us to stay at her place one night. Since we were driving right through her town, we figured why not! <br />

<br />
We had such a good night talking and chatting. It was great to visit and catch up since I haven't really spent time with her since highschool. We had a few drinks, and I could not figure out why they hit me so hard. We headed to bed about 10:30<br />

<br />
<br />
The next day (Day 3) I figured out why the drinks seemed to hit me so hard. It's because I was getting sick.<br />
<br />
I woke up that morning with the chills. I had a sore throat for a few days, but I honestly thought that it was just because of me finishing my penicillin. I mean, there were so many germs going through the house before we left. I thought maybe I had caught yet another germ right at the end of taking the antibiotics, and the sore throat only came on after I had finished because the drugs didn't knock it all out. That's what I thought. That is until Dave decided to share with me that he has had a sore throat for a while and he wasn't feeling so well on day 1 of the trip. <br />
<br />
I slept 90% of the drive from Orem Utah to Las Vegas. <br />
<br />
<br />
But, the bit of time I was awake gave some amazing views. The red rock canyons, so pretty!<br />

We finally got into Vegas around 2pm and headed straight to the Mirage hotel to pick up our tickets to the Beatles Love, the Cirque De Soliel show. Then drive down the strip taking in the sights to our hotel, the Excalibur.<br />

Get all settled in our hotel room, and yes, having fun while we were at it.... lol. I have a quick shower then we go wander around the hotel. Prior to the trip Dave and I have been playing MyVegas on facebook. We earned enough points (all free to play the games to earn the points!) for each of us to get an All Day Buffet pass.(Saved us $70!) We went to the MLife desk and picked up our vouchers. Since it wasn't a 24 hour buffet like I thought, but instead a full calendar day buffet, we just hit the food court in the upper level of the hotel. Ate, wandered, then Dave and I had to head back to our room to get ready for our show!!!<br />
<br />
Get downstairs and hop in a cab and back to the Mirage we go. The show was amazing. Because of my sore throat I had ordered a fizzy pop drink as well as a bottle of water to drink. I figured I would drink all of it and then some. The show started.... and I didn't even touch my drink. I was just staring and singing and seat dancing a little bit. maybe... lol. I loved the show so much. And I would love to go back, because there is most of the time, so much going on that it's hard to see everything.<br />
<br />
After the show, despite being soooo tired from being sick and not sleeping, I told Dave I really wanted to go for a Gondola ride. Off to the Venetian we go. Funny story. lol. We spend some money in the Casino at the Mirage waiting for the Taxi lineup to die down a bit, finally go get in the line, make friends with some Prince loving ladies, get in a taxi, tell the driver we want to go to the Venetian. He informs us it was right across the street. Boy did I feel stupid.<br />
<br />
We walk over to the Venetian, finally figure out where to go for the rides, only to find out they are closed for the night. Super sad face. I tell Dave that I am not walking anymore, I feel like my legs are going to give out. We hail a cab and get back to our hotel. We were in bed by 11pm. As we drove down the strip back to our hotel Dave took a whole bunch of pictures on his cell phone.<br />

All ready to go home with me!!!<br />
<br />
The refreshers drinks? Best thing Starbucks has come out with. Low calories, (I usually prefer frappuchinos over hot drinks, so for me, way lower calories!) still has the jolt of caffeine every mom needs, and tastes good! <br />
<br />
So of course I bought some. Even after texting my Starbucks obsessed friend to see if we had them in Canada, I still only bought one pack of each. I have no idea why. Also, I didn't make them until I got home so I couldn't realize they actually taste just as good as in the store and I needed to stock up. <br />
<br />
So, I mixed it up. I did the lime first, because as much as I love berry the lime refresher drew me in. Now, there is apple in the lime one. I had no idea that was the flavor I was tasting. That was the thing about the mix at home packs, it wasn't as limey as at the stores. I assume it's because I didn't have fresh lime to cut up and put in there. You can really taste the apple, and it's good!!!<br />
<br />
Today I mixed the berry hibiscus one up. I really can't compare it to in store because like I said, I just couldn't stop ordering the lime ones and I haven't had a berry one in at least 6 months. But, it was just as good as the lime. <br />
<br />
The bonus of these drinks? They don't taste like gross aspartame. I love adding some flavor to my water, but if I drink too much the aspartame gives me a headache and all I can taste is that stuff. I know this stuff isn't a water enhancer, but damn I think all the flavor packs in my cupboard are going to find a new home.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
P.s. I was not compensated for this review. Before people think I just wrote this because I was paid. Nope. But hey, if Starbucks wants to send me some more I would be very happy. Especially since you know, Canada isn't as blessed to get them in the stores. :(<br />

<br />
And the fact that she is not a baby.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure why I'm having a bit of hard time dealing with that.<br />
<br />
I keep thinking, she's still too young to do ____ She can't eat that, only tiny baby bites!<br />
<br />
Take the puree train forever!<br />
<br />
Nope. Not any more. <br />
<br />
I mean. she's kind of running around the house. And when she babbles. There is definitely meaning behind it. I watch her and I'm trying to follow along with her. ah ah ah! ah's!!!<br />
<br />
But, back to the food. She managed goldfish on the trip, she's even been managing biting pieces off things (like the pizza crust Austin left at the edge of the table, because oh yeah, she can reach the table now too.) And I've had an omg, no more baby food, no more bottles (ha, I can only hope that's soon) and no more babying the toddler. Yes, toddler. <br />
<br />

My kids were amazing! I was seriously worried but we didn't start to get the whining and hate of the car until the last 45 min or so. We brought Austin's Nintendo DS, my DS, and Stephanie brought hers. Austin was so excited. We played the multiplayer Mario kart for oh about 1.5 hrs. I made up little lunch boxes for all 3 of the 'kids' and also had a gift bag for each day with books and stuff to entertain them. I didn't even have to bust out our day 1 bags! Austin was content with the lunch box!<br />
<br />
Border crossing was super quick. No lineup, no other cars, just a few transport trucks waiting to cross. It's so funny though, being from Ontario and crossing usually into Buffalo from Niagara Falls, this border crossing was so different. I mean, there are signs and lights and big huge security gates. Not so much here. When we cross into the states in Ontario, there is a big "welcome to the US" sign today there was nothing. Again, the lack of vehicles.... A small lineup in Ontario is a wait of less then 20 min. So weird.<br />
<br />
But, we did break the van. Lol. About 15 min before we reached the hotel a duck like bird (it really didn't look like a duck but that's about the size it was) flew out onto the road. I let out a little scream involuntarily as we hit it. The thump! oh man. It then went under the van and we kept going. As we were driving down the road I had visions of the front of our van covered in blood and guts. Thankfully when we checked at the hotel we had a few feathers and a broken van. It cracked a piece of the grill and broke off some of the smaller grill pieces. Stupid bird.<br />
<br />
We got in the hotel room and of course Mackenzie fell asleep about 15 min before we got to the hotel and woke up, so she wasn't ready for bed, we ended up doing 2 full laps around the hotel trying to tire her out. I had to put her in the playpen and just let her babble to herself for a while with all the lights off. Eventually she fell asleep. It's now 11pm and everyone is drifted off to sleep around me. Off to catch up on some sleep for day 2!!!Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10391031417840665532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3314576101356544570.post-46747047619221165252013-04-21T23:28:00.000-06:002013-04-21T23:28:54.946-06:00Planning planning planning!We are going to Califonia!<br />
<br />
We have a wedding coming up. For a friend I have known all my life. (No really, Our parents were friends before we were born, and we have been friends ever since) She's having a destination wedding in California! Since I am a bridesmaid in the wedding obviously we were going.<br />
<br />
The way Dave's work schedule works, he is flown to and from work, but only on his scheduled days. If he needs extra time off, he can take the entire 2 weeks off or pay for his own flight back up to work. So, he has his scheduled week off, his 2 weeks of work off, then another scheduled week off. So, 4 weeks off.<br />
<br />
The wedding fell in the middle of his work weeks, so we just figured, hey, if we have 4 weeks off we may as well do Disneyland while we are right there. (the wedding is just outside San Diego) So...... We are making the trip a big huge shebang. Our current plan is to be gone for 19 days. 19 days on the road. Yes, we might be insane.<br />
<br />
There is a lot of planning involved in pretty much taking 3 vacations and putting them into 1. I mean, if we have to drive right through Las Vegas, Why not spend a few days there, right? So we have our Vegas vacation, our Wedding Vacation, and our Disney vacation. I mean, where do you even start?<br />
<br />
Well, you have to start with somewhere to stay. The bride rented a vacation house near the wedding. Asked us if we wanted to stay there as well. One thing down. Then, I looked into Vegas hotels. Holy smokes. So many options and places! I found a cheap price on one hotel. I booked it, and yay!!! But then I heard from many many people that the hotel has gone downhill and it wouldn't be a very good idea. So, we cancelled it. back to the drawing board. Found another one, stalled on booking, prices went up, I kicked myself. lol. But, it's been booked. Finally we have Disney. In Walt Disney World there are all sorts of hotel choices on the resort. I grew up with Disneyworld being the place to go. I knew nothing about Disneyland. They have 3 hotel options. And yeah, they're pretty expensive. But they have good neighbour hotels there. So we booked into a good neighbour hotel with a pretty cool water park attached.<br />
<br />
So yay for somewhere to stay. Then we also had to look at airfare. Yeah, it's expensive. Plus, we're being super awesome and bringing our babysitter to watch the kids during the wedding, the bachelor/bachelorette parties, any other wedding activities, etc. So by the time we bought 4 full priced air fares... it gets expensive. So we're driving. If we drive straight through, it only takes 29 hours. So we needed a few more places to stay. We had to figure out how much we were going to drive each day, where we were going to stay.<br />
<br />
It has been a long planning process but we are now in the home stretch. We are driving for 2 days, doing 2 days in vegas, 6 days in the vacation house, a random night we still have no idea where we are staying, then 6 days at Disneyland and drive back home. Stay tuned for a trip recap, because I'm sure there will be quite a few of them and they are going to be awesome.Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10391031417840665532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3314576101356544570.post-56311730326181312062013-04-14T09:44:00.002-06:002013-04-14T09:44:46.910-06:00Stand BackI'm setting all the damn germs in this house on fire. If one more person gets some sort of illness, you may find me in the corner crying in the fetal position.<br />
<br />
First, Austin got a Cold. Then he passed it onto me. Yay!<br />
<br />
Tuesday I dropped Austin off at school, then went to the gym. I was just finishing at the gym when I got a text from Dave. Mackenzie just threw up. Everywhere. UGH!!!!<br />
<br />
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were filled with her throwing up and blowing out her diapers. Every.single.time. We had to bust out the next size up pj's just to keep up with the speed at which we were blowing through clothes.<br />
<br />
While dealing with her, Austin snuck under the radar. He had a very mild fever, complained of a headache, then wednesday had super red cheeks. I thought maybe it was really dry in our house since his skin is usually my first indicator of needing to crank up the humidifier. Thursday I went to get him into his pj's and BAM, head to toe rash. Yeah, that's fun. Off to the dr's. Sidenote - Even more fun, our town doesn't have a freaking walk in clinic. Unless I wanted to wait and take him in after 5:30 pm.<br />
<br />
3 hours later and we're done in the dr's. Austin has Fifth Disease. Ooh double yay! Thankfully, once he breaks out in the rash he's no longer contagious. But anywhere from 4-28 days previous he was. oh man. I let the schools know, I let our friends and neighbours know.<br />
<br />
Friday? Despite still puking, Mackenzie now also has the cold and is sneezing and stuffed up. By the way, unlike her brother, she has none of it when I try to remove the goopy snot from her face. Screaming and yelling. Sigh.<br />
<br />
And then we get to Saturday. In the morning Austin filled me in that he didn't feel good, and spent all day puking, pooping, and sleeping. The furthest he's gotten from his bed has been the bathroom. Let me tell you this, Austin is starting young with the man sick. Oh my. He could not do anything for himself yesterday. Despite getting to the bathroom, he asked me (in the saddest most pathetic voice) to carry him back to bed. Also, every time he puked he was convinced he needed me to rub his back to help it get out. This is the point that I publicly apologize to my mom. I was also that kid. If I was throwing up I wanted her there with me. I don't know why, moral support? No idea. But if I ever threw up, the first words out of my mouth were "Mooooommmmmmmmmmm" Even after moving out, I would call my mom and complain I was sick. Yeah. I have the female version of the Man sick. That Nyquill ( I think) commercial where the sick guy says "Pam, can you call my mom?" Cracks me up so much. Because I have uttered those words to my husband. "Dave, Can you call my mom?" I'm in so much trouble with Austin.<br />
<br />
Also Saturday, Dave called from work to let me know that he was up at 1am puking non stop.<br />
<br />
<br />
Have I mentioned, we are going on a road trip? Vegas, San Diego, LA, Disneyland. Yeah, we are. In only a few short weeks. This sickness crap, it needs to stop.Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10391031417840665532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3314576101356544570.post-13750291627791832442013-04-04T00:32:00.001-06:002013-04-04T00:32:04.459-06:00A totally kid centered dayYou guys will never believe this. But today, I spent just shy of 6 hours in chuck e cheese. I honestly can't believe it. <br />
<br />
My husband took the baby to Ontario to visit for a few days. (she flies free, and thanks to airmiles, so did he) I'll be honest, with my husband's work schedule one on one time with Austin doesn't happen often. Ok, it happens very rarely. <br />
<br />
So, since he seemed a little bummed that he couldn't go with daddy to see all his grandparents, I told him we were going to have a super special mommy Austin day. <br />
<br />
So we pulled up to chuck e cheese about noon. Went in, got a table. Ordered our pizza, ordered my all you can eat salad bar, ended up with 125 tokens.<br />
<br />
I gave Austin 20 or so tokens then have him sit to eat. 20 more, 20 more etc. We finally make it through all our tokens around 3/3:30. It's still not busy there and I was having fun playing games. So I went and bought another 115 tokens. We played, he went and played in the jungle gym a bit. 4:30, he starts digging into the left over pizza, I go up and get another round from the salad bar and think, perfect, now I don't have to worry about what to make for dinner! Score!<br />
<br />
By the time we get all the tokens spent, all the tickets added, and all the prizes oh so carefully chosen, it's 5:45 when we walk out that door. 5 hours and 45 minutes spent at Chuck E Cheese. And I will be honest with you? It really didn't seem like that long! I felt like there have been other times that I've been there and the day just drags on and it feels like it's been about 12 hours when it's only been 30 minutes.<br />
<br />
After we left, we stopped to visit a friend of mine who works at a Starbucks by Chuck E Cheese. I then thought, if we drive home now, Austin is going to fall asleep, have a 30 min nap, then be wide awake when we get home. Or I can keep him up, and we can go play with the trains in chapters.<br />
<br />
My kid played with the trains, the legos, the plasma car, and anything else left out for kids. He played nonstop and was happy about it. We ended up leaving Chapters around 8pm. perfect. he fell asleep in the car and I put him right to bed when we got home. I suspect he had an awesome day, because really. If you were 4, would that not be a perfect day?Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10391031417840665532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3314576101356544570.post-59826607424932243492013-03-28T09:29:00.000-06:002013-03-28T09:29:00.116-06:00I found it on Pinterest! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I vaguely remembered a pin, <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/188517934374292728/" target="_blank">this pin in fact</a>, about putting a glow stick in bubbles and having glow in the dark bubbles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media-cache-lt0.pinterest.com/736x/74/e5/70/74e570d8c962dd49ac9ed564f049ba00.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://media-cache-lt0.pinterest.com/736x/74/e5/70/74e570d8c962dd49ac9ed564f049ba00.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had some left over bubbles from Mackenzie's birthday party, and I figured why not. In the summer it doesn't start to get dark here until about 11pm or later, so it's really not the best time to test this out with Austin. Even though it was kind of cold tonight and about 40 minutes past his bed time I figured what the hell.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I busted out the glow stick tube I bought at Michaels. I didn't have high hopes for these glow sticks. The other tube I bought and pulled out when we lost power during a storm to light the way through our house for Austin didn't glow very much at all. They were sad and pathetic. I wish I had known that before buying 2 tubes, but anyways. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decide on yellow glow sticks since they seemed to be glowing the brightest out of all of them (and glowing is an understatement) Take them to the kitchen and cut off an end and try to dump it in. Nothing came out. I tried wiggling the glow stick, nothing. So, I figured out I had to cut it into small pieces (I cut them into 3 pieces) and blow through the one end to get everything out.(without my lips touching!) Now, I will note, I think these glow sticks suck because they don't have enough glowing liquid in them. A good glow stick will probably pour out much easier. Anyways, I emptied 3 glow sticks out into the bubbles, had Austin get his coat and boots on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I shook up the bottle and had high hopes since our bottle looked<a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/188517934374292732/" target="_blank"> like this one</a> but yellow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We got outside and could barely see the bubbles I was blowing. I let Austin blow a few bubbles then we came inside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then, I went to clean up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Holy shit. That glow stick crap goes everywhere! My hands were covered in it. I didn't have the forethought to get my good camera out so I took some cell phone pictures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But then, I thought I would take a picture of the garbage pail with the light off.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I did. But once I shut the light off...... Oh.My.God.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There were splatters of glowing alllll over my kitchen. In places I didn't think would have reached. Austin laughed and said I had to clean that up. Everything on the counter and sink were splattered, my skin, my clothes, and my feet were covered. And my floor. All over the floor. Again, no forethought to get out the good camera (which seeing this mess makes me a little happy as I'm sure my camera would have been covered too) so this is from my cell phone and kind of hard to see. But that is my floor, the garbage pail, and on the top right that is the inside of the cupboard that my garbage pail was in before I started. Yes, that shit ended up in the cupboard. </div>

I told Austin we would try again with a better glow stick. But I think next time will be in the summer and I will cut apart the glow sticks outside. My kitchen doesn't need that kind of mess.</div>

Once I moved out on my own, even though we didn't have kids I told my husband, I really want to start collecting my own Disney movies. I can't even begin to guess how many Disney movies we owned as a kid. <br />
<br />
(True story, I've told my mom I'm claiming the Disney movies when she dies. Yes, we're kind of morbid, whatever. What I'm going to do with them now since they are all VHS, I have no idea. But, they have been claimed.)<br />
<br />
So, we have a great Disney collection. And, we have this super magical thing coming up called a trip to Disneyland. Yes, Disneyland!!! Squee! <br />
<br />
Of course I am being irrational that we are going to get there and Austin won't know who everyone is (let's be honest, Mackenzie probably won't know) and I want him to get the full magic of meeting <br />
people from the movies. So I thought we should start watching the movies.<br />
<br />
It started Friday night. We watched Beauty and the Beast. Then Saturday I was still nursing my injury from Friday so we hung out and watched some more movies. We started with the Lion King, then Cinderella, rounded off the night with Tangled. Sunday we started with the Little Mermaid, finding Nemo, then moved onto Cars and Cars 2. Finished off our night with Lilo and Stitch.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, I am SO looking forward to seeing Carsland. I have heard it's an amazing view and it's like stepping into the movie. Watching Austin watch Cars this weekend, I was thinking about Disneyland and the magic he's going to encounter in just a few short weeks. The inevitable excitement when he gets to meet a real size Lightning McQueen and Mater. I mean, he loves seeing books or cars of those 2. Meeting them IRL? I'm thinking mind=blown. And I'm going to be the mom taking a million pics and being sappy.<br />
<br />
Since having kids, anything can make me cry. It's ridiculous and kind of embarrassing. I'm betting it will be about 2 minutes inside the park before I start to cry, if I even make it that long. Seeing the park and the magic and excitement from Austin...... Tears, there will be tears. I can't wait.Kristinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10391031417840665532noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3314576101356544570.post-30053071997174286272013-03-25T13:25:00.000-06:002013-03-25T13:25:00.305-06:00Photo dump<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I will admit it. My poor daughter was victim to second child syndrome. I totally dropped the ball on her party. Austin? His was planned with little details months before his actual party. I threw Mackenzie's together in about a month and a half. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought of themes. I think owls are super cute, but "look Whoo's Two" is a much cuter theme then just an owl 1st birthday. Then I thought pink cowgirl. Then, I tried to book somewhere for the party. (we do not have the space we had when Austin turned 1) Of course being a slight procrastinator left me with few options. Finally, we booked a party at Crock A Doodle. I knew Mackenzie wouldn't care what we did for her party. However, a lot of our friends all have kids about Austin's age. I wanted to do something that they wouldn't get bored. Crock A Doodle it was. Basically a pottery painting place. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ta-Da! Artist theme party!!!! I went to order a cake.... and there was nothing cute for an artisty theme. I found a cute sesame street cake in their book that had polka dots all over it. I requested the polka dots in pinks and purples. Of course then I thought, hmmm, Austin had a 1st birthday that was Elmo, and we had a bunch of supplies left over. (the plastic plates I bought for the party? We still use them today. 3 years later) I went to the party store and bought a happy 1st birthday Sesame Street candle, some Sesame Street decorations that I knew we didn't have for Austin's birthday, and let Austin pick out random party favours to give away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's just say, it's a good thing I bought some Sesame Street stuff. Because when I went to the box of party supplies, there was a vapourizer in there instead. And the left over supplies from Austin's 3rd birthday when I just lifted the flap of the box high up on the closet shelf and dropped them in what I thought was our left over party supply box. Imagine my surprise, when I found all that 1st birthday stuff I already had was gone. The party still went on with a hybrid Artist/Sesame Street theme.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, to keep with the Artist theme, I got out my sewing machine and got crafty. I picked up 3 different colour of star fabric and made all the party goers an apron for crafting and cooking!</div>

<br />
(I will totally admit that yes, I should have taken the pics before we had her party, painted, ate lunch, ate dinner, and played all day. So, her shirt is dirty, but it's still a cute outfit!)<br />

She's so sassy and cute! Also, she's got a crap ton of dry skin around her mouth. Because of the time of year Austin also has a bunch, but with him I can put the good lip balm around it and it clears it up within a day or two. That stuff will sting the first few times it's put on and he can deal with it. I don't really want to put it on her and have her freak out. So, I keep trying to moisturize it and hope it eventually goes away.</div>
