Excited for Disney!

The other day I decided it was time to take the kids to Disney World. So now I am in the saving mode and getting the kids filled in on all of the hype! They have been before but my daughter was maybe a year old and my son was almost 3. Plus it was in the midst of spring break. Needless to say it was not the happiest place on Earth:) So now the kids are 3.5 and 2 and I plan to go next week on a weekday to try and avoid the crowds and heat. Wish us luck!

Yet another beautiful day out today. My son, let's call him Super Why (because he is the king of all why questions), is outside playing on his bike while my daughter, let's call her Polly (like the parrot, Polly want a cracker?! because she copies everything he says and does), takes a nap. And I am sitting in the shade typing away. I want to find a place to live where it is this beautiful everyday! Super Why is now playing in the dirt pretending to be a car by pushing his hands around. I often think about what age I was when I stopped being imaginative like children are. They can create so many wild stories and play endlessly with trucks and babies yet when I sit to play with them I'm fresh out of creativity. I think that this will be a goal of mine. To become childlike again in my playtime with my children. To stop being the mom and become a playmate for that time. Have fun with them with no restrictions. Off I go to dig in the dirt with him while I still can!
