"The BIG kids table"

We went to downtown Disney with a few of our friends the other day. We took the kids to rainforest cafe for lunch. There is nothing like a party of 19 with 6 adults and 13 kids...fun fun!!!

Reverse dog years???

I spent a good part of tonight watching all three of my girls dance gleefully around the play room.  They were ALL adorned in tattered (loved) princess gowns and gaudy costume jewelry.  They were dancing/frolicking to the song that is playing on my play list right now (Never Grow Up by Taylor Swift).  The did not see me watching them but all I could think to myself is that childhood should have some sort of reverse dog years theory.  Let me explain...You know how they say that dogs age 7 years per 1 human year?  Well, children should do that but in the reverse form.  Like, maybe they could stay the same age for 7 years instead of just that one fleeting year that seems to fly by WAY too quickly.

I am glad that I did not run to get my camera to try and tangibly capture that perfect moment.  I will have this mental picture for much, much longer (and I did not miss any of it by trying to scamper for my camera).  I hate that they are growing up, I really hate it.  Anyways, it was a really great moment.  Sorry, I do not have the pictures to prove it.

Little matchers!

My mom and I took the kids to sea world summer nights.  We got to see and do a couple of fun things before we got rained out.  I took Leila on her first carousel ride and she LOVED IT!!!  She was laughing hysterically the entire time, it was probably the cutest thing ever!

Just DANCE time!!

Nya and Iyla are really missing their cousins.  They had such a fun time with them and Iyla keeps asking me when "Bobby and Marie's mama is coming back?"  I hope we can plan something so that they can see each other again really soon!

Headbandz game night!

My sister, Sarah, came down with the kids (Bobby and Marie) and we had so much fun. I really love watching the kids play with their cousins. We did just about everything that we could possibly do in Orlando. We did Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Sea World, various hotel pools, downtown Disney (twice), the beach, the springs, fun restaurants and a lot of great parties at my mom's house!
