On Friday night we got there at 6 to meet our friends and by 6:30 the line was out the door, the band was playing and tables were filling up. Jacob knows the drill by now and happily wolfed down his chicken strips, side of corn and milk before heading off to the playground. And that’s when he saw her. Taylor From School. Five minutes later I look over and Jacob and Taylor are holding hands – it was the cutest thing ever and I did not have my camera! The two of them held hands and ran all over the place the whole night – it was totally adorable. I have never seen him hold hands with a girl before. He was sort of flushed and excited and I totally remember that feeling from when I was a kid. Later, while I was convincing Bella that she could not slide down the rock wall; Jacob disappeared (for all of like a minute). It scared me but we knew where we would find him, inside sitting with Taylor’s family. Sure enough there he was, at her side, eating French fries, drinking soda and still holding her hand. Oh how they both cried when it was time to go. To get his mind of of it, once we got home Will let him play in the backyard for a few minutes with a flashlight - he really loved that. They just ran around shining the beam at each other. Four year old are fun that way.
Saturday we went to the nursery to pick out some flowers for our front porch area. The kids like to ride on the carts.
Sunday morning we totally missed the time change and therefore didn’t make it to church. I wish I had figured it out before getting dressed and driving halfway to Kingwood! All day Will was mad. He can’t stand daylight savings time and felt like he was shorted an hour, an hour he needed because he had a lot to get done in the yard. Jacob and I "helped" him.
Later we played in the freshly mown backyard (thanks Will!).
Bella climbed the ladder on the big playset - look how tiny she is!
In other big big news – we are going to Disney world! Our trip is officially booked and we are excited! This is going to be what my sister in law and I refer to as an EFF (Entire Fisher Family) trip. We have gone on two other major EFF trips – one to San Francisco and one to Paris. This time we will have THREE kids, Jacob, Bella and my niece LuLu (who will be 11 months) – are we crazy or what? We know the babies won’t remember it but I really wanted Jacob to go while he still believes everything is real - so this was the year to go. Just talking about the trip is already blowing his mind; he keeps thinking we are just joking with him. Mickey is going to wear a chef hat and make me waffles? Yep (we have reservations at Chef Mickey). We’re going to eat dinner in Cinderella’s castle? Yep (we have reservations at the royal palace!!!) We’re going to watch fireworks from Winnie the Pooh’s treehouse? Yep, if we can. (Our guidebook says Pooh’s Corner is the best un-crowded spot to view the fireworks. Of course since it’s in a guide book now it’s probably not so un-crowded anymore.) We’re going to see zebras and antelope? Yep (we have dinner reservations at Boma, an African restaurant at Animal Kingdom Lodge and we’re going to go early and look at the Savannah and check out the lodge and dream about staying there one day) Can anyone tell I am REALLY excited??! Let me tell you that all this planning, researching, the booking of lodging and reserving character meals for 9 people at Disney is hard work, seriously this could be like my part-time job lately. The dinner shows were all booked up and some of our character breakfasts are at the crack of dawn (7:20 anyone???) but mostly I was able to what we wanted. I’m truly looking forward to a dinner out, just Will and I, at a fancier place called California Grill. I booked us at 9:20 so we can see the fireworks show first. Date Night at Disney – it’s going to be great!
