Disneyland at Night

By now, it should be no secret that I lovelovelovelovelove Disneyland.

I especially love it at Christmas time.

So a few weeks ago, we loaded up the kids and went to see the parade and castle and snow and Small World and....

They were in Heaven.

And so was I.

What are these things on my hands, Mommy?

My hubs is not thrilled.

Cheeseball!




Sweet Girlie...

Parade!

It's SNOWING MOMMA!

Tooth Fairy Take Two!

Someone had a loose tooth.  Then he went to the dentist, and at Mommy's request, it accidentally on purpose fell out. 

Sooooo excited to check under his pillow....

Empty tooth box!

Our tooth fairy, Twinkle Teethy, leaves notes.  And toothbrushes.  Yes, and money too

I'm beginning to think it is painful for him to look at the camera for a picture.

Stitches


A few weeks ago, Girlie was dancing in the shower, because hey, why not?
 
Then she slipped and fell, but it was okay, because her chin and the shower step broke her fall. 

Yeah, there was blood everywhere.  

Once I calmed her down and peered at her chin, I knew we were spending the next few hours at the ER.  

Mission Viejo CHOC ER is FABULOUS.  I mean, if you HAVE to go to the ER.  I wouldn't recommend it for a Saturday night date or anything. 

They had a sick waiting room and a well child waiting room for Peds.  Each room was filled with books and toys and everything a six year old girl needs to forget that there is blood gushing from her chin.  The ER rooms were actual rooms with TVs and DVD players -- no rolling beds with a curtain pulled around you.  And they have a CHOC employee who's ONLY job is to talk to the kids and keep them entertained so they aren't afraid.  

Girlie loved it.  Not the blood gushing from the chin part, but all the attention.  And not having to battle her brother for the cool remote that "is attached to the bed, Mommy!"  

One Jungle Book movie, two Fancy Nancy Books, 3 hours and 4 stitches later, we were home.  

Oh, and the doctor had to ask Girlie to stop chattering so he could stitch her chin.
