Catching a Leprechaun

The girls wanted to catch a leprechaun....so they could get the pot of gold and we could go to Disneyland for 80 days.  :)  So they made a trap complete with lots of shiny things to lure him in and they also had lots of their costume jewelry inside.  Luckily, he did stop by our house and leave some chocolate coins but the trap didn't quite contain him.

Toy Story 3...ON ICE

Girls were super excited. We hadn't been to the ice shows in a few years and seeing as Alexandra LOVES Jessie in Toy Story we decided to go. She was super excited and got her whole Jessie costume on. She brought her "Toy Story Collection" too which consists of Woody, Jessie, Bullseye, several small figures, books...and well, more stuff. It was actually one of the best Disney ice shows we've seen and it was a lot of fun for all of us.

There's JESSIE!

The only downside are the treats/"food" items. The girls wanted these snow cones in Jessie mugs...and what a mess. A huge mess. The girls couldn't scoop any of it out and there was "snow cone ice" everywhere. Fortunately we found a little corner, spread out some little blankets I brought and tried to power through these quickly so we didn't have to try to eat them during the show. Messy!

Sleeping Sweetie

I had the good mommy fortunate to read with my girls and have them quickly crash out on my lap and right next to me....ahhh, two of the best blessings EVER!

Kung Fu Fighting

SUPER fun! The girls came out of their rooms a few weeks ago ready for battle. They've been watching Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness and decided to put together their own kung fun clothing. Headbands, wrist band, sling shots and that's a sword (made out of a princess wand) in Avery's holster (which is a ribbon). Darling. :)

Time to go...

Last morning on the ship. We had to finish up any open bottles so Carolyn and I enjoyed a champagne breakfast. Super blurry picture but a very nice, relaxing last morning before we all headed back to our respective parts of the country. To Steve & Carolyn: THANK YOU so much for the fantastic family time! Couldn't have been better.

a Cabo morning

Seeing as I missed every single sunset on the cruise (either it was overcast or we were at dinner) I decided to get up early and take a few pictures of the rock formations near Cabo. Beautiful morning. The sky and clouds were incredible!

A day on deck. Sunshine and books.

Cabo - Beach Fun!!!

We arrived in Cabo San Lucas early and had an entire day to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and beaches.

BEAUTIFUL!

My feet and my beer and my family and my happiness.

A man came along with several of these lizards - everyone got a kick out of holding one, except for Alexandra.

Andre held five!
