"See Ya Real Soon"

We went to Disney World back in Oct. for a week and had the best time EVER!  I am making myself sit down today and post some pictures BEFORE I post some Thanksgiving pictures or start talking about Christmas!  We did start pulling out Christmas decorations yesterday :)

We started out our Disney vacation with a trip to Universal Studios(Sunday).  The boys were dying to see Harry Potter World.  There was a lot more to do at Universal than we knew.  We were there for 8 hours.

Dr. Seuss World

Our very own Thing 1 and Thing 2

My boys LOVE Superhero's

This is so cute because Brady is looking at him trying to make the same pose

Then feeling like we needed to be in character, they had their faces painted

We ended the day in Jurrask Park

So Monday morning we checked into Disney's Wilderness Lodge.  We were meeting up with Matt's sister and her family and Matt's parents at the Magic Kingdom after lunch.

Seriously the best place on earth!!!!

So what we learned this trip is that our boys and the cousins LOVE roller coasters.

Here is Cal on Thunder Mountain (I lost count on how many times we rode this).

What was amazing was that even Brady and Will who are 4 rode every roller coaster except for the Rock'n Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios which they were not tall enough for.

We went back to Magic Kingdom on Tuesday

Tuesday night we ate at the Wilderness Lodge Restaurant. 

Wednesday we started the day off at Animal Kingdom with a character breakfast.

We ended the day eating dinner at Epcot at the Aquarium Restaurant.

Everest-the best roller coaster EVER-as voted on by the boys

The ball at Epcot

We started Thursday bright and early at Hollywood Studios

We knew we were suposed to go straight to get in line for the Jedi Training.  The park opened at 9.  We were there about 9:35.  We got in line and the boys were not to be in Jedi Training until 7:20pm!  Thank goodness the people in front of us changed their mind, so we got into the 6:40 training.  We were going to the Not So Scary Halloween Party back over at Magic Kingdom at 7:00 (we were a little late).

The little Jedi's are about to fight Darth Vadar one at a time on stage for everyone in the park to see

Cal's turn-Darth did tell Cal he felt the force was stong with him

Brady's turn-"Down Low"

Brady also had to fight the Clone Troopers (with his force)

This was so awesome and well worth the wait. 

We had to change gears and get the boys face's painted and head to the Halloween Party

My little dragon ninja!

And the Vampire-sorry his teeth look a little nasty!

We made it to the Halloween Parade and the boys lasted at the park until mid-night.

Friday morning, we slept late, did a little laundry while the boys went swimming then headed to Epcot to ride a few rides with the cousins before saying good-bye.  It was rainy, but we headed to Hollywood Studios to let Cal ride the Rock'n Roller Coaster again.  We had a nice dinner then went to the Fantasmic Show.  A really great way to end the week.

Happy Halloween

We made it through October!!!!  I wasn't sure we could have Cal's birthday, Homecoming week, a week at Disney and still celebrate Halloween, but we did it!  We were running short on time Sunday, so I put the boys to bed and Matt carved their pumpkins so they would be ready when they woke up Monday morning.
Brady's pumpkin aka "Fire Eyes".

Cal's is the "Grim Reaper".

Brady had a school Pumpkin Party, but Cal's school does not do Halloween for 1st graders.

Best picture I could get of Brady and Payne

Trick or Treating

Brady was a ninja and Cal was his very own version of a Vampire

Brady and G

Braxton and Cal

This was so funny, they all walked in and gathered around the table and started eating-hardly any talking!

And today I went with Brady to the Pumpkin Patch-I REALLY tried to talk him out of going :)-but we had fun!

There was not a lot to pick from, but Brady picked the smallest pumpkin he could find

On the hayride

Wanted to be totally covered up, but this was the best I could do-"corn-box"

Brady and Sarah Morgan

Disney World Pictures to come.......we had so much fun!

Birthday Fun

This weekend was all about celebrating Cal's 7th birthday!  He started out wanting a spend the night party/Halloween theme birthday.  Well, we went to his friend Will's birthday back in Sept. and he found out about the Rolling Video Game Truck and he was sold.  So, we did the spend the night party part Friday night and the big birthday party today.  Here is Friday night.

Braxton, Cal, Harrison and Will

Silly String, Flashlights and Glow Necklaces for everyone

Pizza for dinner and S'mores for desert

Cal getting ready to go roast. 

Sweet, precious Hampton in the orange shirt.  I was keeping my friend's little boy also.

Sunday Party

All the kids go into this truck, not into my house!

So we had Halo, Football, Basketball and Mario Kart

There are 4 screens, 4 controls at each t.v., so 16 kids can play at once.

Blowing out the candles

Cal didn't want his picture taken, but Harrison and Will didn't mind :)

I will send special birthday snack on Wednesday and I get to eat lunch with him at school.

This week is Homecoming Week at his school and we are leaving for Disney next weekend.

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!
