3 hours

I have never spent this much time at the playground but I really wanted Monkey Doodle to get tired. I made it through,the kids are asleep, at the same time now thats a miracle. I do not know what to do, I want to take a nap but I feel like if I do one of the kids will wake up.
This morning I woke up made lunch for the three of us and went to the park. We got there a little before 11 am and left at 2 pm. They both fell asleep on the way back home. I think I am going to do this more often.
Last month I found a booklet for different activities for every single day and most are them are free which is great. It is the best thing ever they have crafts and story time in different areas, movies at the park, they even tell you when restaurants have family day, so that you can go with the kids and they have someone entertain the kids while you eat. I try to do at least two activities a week just to get out of the house and it has been working pretty well. Anthony has a lot of energy and I have to find ways to have him let it out and this booklet has helped me so much.

8 months old

Well Gaby is 8 months old. She is crawling and standing up now, she has two teeth that came out about a week ago. She is eating solids, she loves strawberries, well any fruit or food that you put in front of her. I actually think she eats more than Monkey Doodle did at her age. She follows us every where we go and she gets really excited when Monkey Doodle comes in the room, he makes her laugh, he does silly things like jump and pretends that he falls a hurts himself, and she cracks up. Its funny to see her look up to him, I hope that they can always get along but I know that this will not always be, so I will just enjoy it for now until it ends. The other day we put them both in the play pen and they were doing so well, Monkey Doodle actually wanted to sleep in there with Gaby and this morning we did the same thing and he was playing peek a boo with her. It was so adorable. On Fridays we go to the library for story time and a play time, one Friday during playtime Gaby was playing with a toy and another kid came a took it, Anthony got mad he went to the kid and told him that was Gaby's toy and took the toy back and gave it to Gaby. I thought that was so sweet. I love my babies.

We're Back

So last year we decided to go away for the holidays, and thats what we did for Christmas this year we went away to Orlando. We left Sunday at 5 in the morning which was good the kids slept the entire way there. We did not have to stop, we made it to Orlando in less then 3 hours.

This is Anthony's face when we were getting to Disney World he was looking at the entrance which is a big arch were they have a Mickey, Minnie and Donald Duck.
We went to Epcot that day, it was Ok, not a park to take kids, I should have known since I have been there but Jose wanted to go there rather than Animal Kingdom. Anthony did get to meet ALL the characters Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, and Goofy and he loved it. It was hilarious to see him in the line to meet them and take pictures, he was like an obsessed fan, crying and screaming for Mickey and holding on to the pole while I was pulling him away to continue in the line. Then when we finally got to Mickey he was in total shock he was just staring at him in disbelief. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen.

Christmas Eve we spent it at Magic Kingdom and it was amazing the weather was perfect the decorations looked beautiful. We saw the Christmas Parade and the Night Christmas show which both were very pretty and Anthony enjoyed it very much. Every time he saw a Disney character his eyes would light up.

We did not go on any rides because the lines were just to long and Anthony would not appreciate them any way, but Anthony did play in two playgrounds, one by Mickey Mouse's House and the other was Pooh's house which in both he had a blast. The park was actually going to be open till 1 am but we were just to tired and left at about 8 pm.

We had Christmas dinner at a Denny's close to the Hotel, and that was a mess it took forever, they were short staffed.
Anyway Christmas Day we spent it a Sea World and that was a lot of fun. I had made reservations to have lunch Backstage of the Believe show which is the one with Shamu the Killer whale. That was pretty cool the tank is right next to you and you could see the whale. I wanted to do something nice for Christmas for all of us to enjoy. After that we got to see the Shamu show from reserve sitting, seats weren't to bad.

They had a giant playground we kids could play and a place were kids could play in the water. Which of course Anthony played in for a every long time, we left that park at about 6pm. On Wednesday we did not do much we spent the day at Downtown Disney and did some shopping, and then hung out at the hotel at night and watched Ratatouille the newest movie to our collection. On Thursday we decided to go to Kennedy Space Center. It was manly for Jose he waned to got there and look around and they had a simulated launch which Jose went on I did not go I stayed behind with the kids that were sleeping. After we did that we came home and that was the end of our holiday vacation. Now back to reality I am NOT looking forward to New Years we are already being torn between the two families. AHHH! I just wish we would move away so that I wouldn't have to deal with this ridiculous issues about who spends what time with who.

Happy Holidays!!

This is hilarious.

My days are NEVER boring.

Where do I begin today when I was making breakfast, I noticed that both of the kids where very quiet but I did think much of it. When I got to the living room it was a whole different story. Anthony had gotten to the corn starch. It was pretty much every where, the floor, the sofa, Gaby and even the cat, but I couldn't get a picture of him.

That's Gaby trying to reach the corn starch to eat it.


On Monday Anthony took half of the Christmas balls out of the tree and put them in Gaby's play pen with her in it. She was having a blast with the Christmas balls. When I was taking them out to put them back on the tree she started crying hysterically, all because I would let her eat them. She had glitter everywhere on her face.

This is her crying with glitter all over her face.
