What a Weekend
Friday night Izak and I loaded up the girls and headed down south. Our ultimate destination: Disney Land!
It was a rocky drive at first. And I went as prepared as I could be. We finally settled into a groove only stopping once before the grapevine. We made it to the hotel very tired. We just wanted to fall into bed, but Beatrice would not have it. She sort of freaked out a bit. She was crying and saying that she wanted to go home! She's slept in hotels before but of course she doesn't remember. She finally fell asleep while I sang the opening song from Beauty and the Beast.
Saturday we got dressed headed down stairs for breakfast and then hopped in the car and drove to Disney. I had wanted to get there right when the park opened, but since we were only getting tickets for one park, one day I figured we'd still be waiting in line and therefore we wouldn't get in right away anyway.. despite a minor setback waiting to get on the tram things went smoothly. We got our tickets, got into the park and headed to Small World. Bea and Millie totally loved it. Both girls were just looking everywhere. I tried to get some pictures, which I will post later. Beatrice wanted to go again, but I thought we should try to get on the tea cups first. On the way to the teacups we walked through Sleeping Beauty's castle and saw Snow White's well. We even got to see a little show. It was a fast trip to Disney but Beatrice loved it! I can't wait to take her back and really spend some more time riding rides and just walking around and seeing stuff. Our new jogging stroller worked out fairly well. Millie was good, she even fell asleep for about an hour inside the park.
Stacey came up to visit and watch the girls that evening because Izak and I were going to our first Dodger game! It was so much fun! The Dodgers won. Izak and I got a Dodger dog and a Super Dodger dog.. I guess he grabbed the wrong one and I ended up eating the Super Dodger dog... it was delicious!
Sunday we slept in, got breakfast at the hotel and then headed to Old Baby for some quick shopping before we all had to head out. It was a lot of fun and now I am super tired!
Today Beatrice is wearing big girl underwear at school. We're going to get her potty trained starting this week. AND she's going to start sleeping in her room again... it's gonna be a long week for me. :( And I'll be running in a 5K on Saturday!? What am I thinking?

Happy Mother's Day!
When I went to pick Beatrice up on Friday from Daycare she was standing at the door waiting for me and she said: Happy Mother's Day Mommy.
It was the cutest thing I ever heard and I seriously almost started crying.
I hope all the mommy's I know have a wonderful mother's day. I'm so blessed to have you all in my life.

Non Fat Milk!?
We had Bea's 2 year well baby visit today. She's doing excellent. The doctor wants her to drink non fat milk though! :( What's that about? So now I have to start buying her her own special milk because I sure as shit am not going to drink that stuff. :( Oh well. I guess it will be good for her...

Snow White (and other things)
This last weekend was a busy one for us! Saturday morning we grabbed some bagels from Panera Bread and headed to Mooney's Grove to cheer on Dezi, Chris and Tonja running a 5k race. Beatrice got to run around after the geese. She saw baby geese and got to see Adam. Beatrice, Adam and I walked over the the nearest play area and they had a bunch of fun running around on the equipment, sliding down the slides and crawling up the metal bars (which gave me a tiny heart attack!)
Saturday night we headed over to Gigi and Grandpy's where I had my bleated birthday dinner. David and Megan were there too and Bea had a lot of fun playing with both of them.
Sunday I got up early and ran/walked around Lowes. Then I bought a handful of flowers to plant. We ate breakfast outside on the back patio on my new table and chairs! Then got ready for Snow White at the Enchanted Playhouse. Beatrice wanted to wear her Cinderella dress to the show, so I let her. She was telling me in the car as I buckled her in that she was excited. So cute! Bea was so excited when the lights dimmed in the theatre. She looked at me and smiled so big and held her little fists in the air. At intermission we went and got m&m's and she got to meet some other little girls. Tonja and Jenni were there and Brandy had attended the show with us. I thought we might have to leave after intermission, but Karen (the director of the show) found us a couple of seats up front and Bea was in heaven! She even mimicked the evil queen's laugh during a scene change and the whole audience busted up. I can't believe she made it through the whole show. But she did and she loved it!
