A Less-Than Ideal Magic Kingdom Morning

Tuesday was mine and Erik's planned couples day at Disney!  Unfortunately, Erik's work messed up the schedule and switched his time he had to man the ProBuild booth at the International Builder's Show from Wednesday morning to Tuesday morning.  So, while Erik went to the IBS, I decided to spend the morning in Magic Kingdom.  The one ride I hadn't done that I really wanted to was Splash Mountain, and I was looking forward to rope dropping and going to Mine Train.
However, a rope drop at Magic Kingdom was just not meant to be this trip!  I left around 8:20 which was probably too late anyway, and then my GPS took me on this crazy route to all of the back service roads on Disney property!  I finally had to turn around and then just use signs to get to the MK parking lot. 
Grrr  Already so behind where I wanted to be!

And of course I showed up to catch a Ferry right as it was leaving!  



And then I picked the very longest bag check and entrance lines!
Anyway, I finally made it in, and it was already packed.  Mine Train's line was already long so I decided to just skip that.

I went straight to Splash Mountain.  It's impossible to be in grumpy on Splash Mountain!


Yay!  I love this ride!  

Nothing will top the ride I went on last year when I was COMPLETELY by myself.  Like no one in my log at all.  No one in the log in front of me.  No one in the log behind me haha
We obviously all got the memo to wear a black jacket on the ride!

After Splash Mountain and seeing how busy it was it did something I NEVER do at Magic Kingdom in the critical low-lines-morning time, I went and got a snack!  


I had a yummy chocolate pastry and LeFou's Brew.  The drink is a little sugary for me, but it was a fun snack break.

Right next door is Prince Eric's castle and the Little Mermaid ride.  This one didn't have a very long line.  So I stopped.


Wish this was where MY Prince Erik lived ;) 


Another Rapunzel bathroom shot, because Rapunzel bathrooms are always fun!

It was such a warm, gorgeous day but it was packed!  It was hard not to be frustrated by how much time was waste this morning trying to get to MK, then waiting to GET into MK.  Since Magic Kingdom is the most cumbersome to get into, I really should have gone to a different park for the morning.  Oh well, it was definitely still fun, and I AM happy I got to ride Splash at least once this trip!


With a little bit more time to kill before Erik was back from his work thing, I decided to meet Daisy and Minnie.  I've never met them with these outfits on and the line was super short.



As I was walking to the parking lot, I saw that Anna had been texting me from the iPad.  It looked like she and Grammy were having a great time!


We texted each other back and forth a few times.  I was definitely missing her and the boys!

One Weekend, Three Living Arraignments

So I don't have too much time to blog, but thought I would do a quick update of our moving weekend.  First of all I wanted to post this pic of Wyatt trying to drink the rain that came last week.  It was the first time it's really rained here since we came to Arizona, and it was so weird.  Hot, muggy, rain.  All packed up and ready to go.  Friday was our last night in the apt (hallelujah!) One last goodbye To avoid having to pay into the new month, Saturday and Sunday night we stayed in a hotel (it was a lot cheaper surprisingly).  Wyatt was having lots of fun jumping on the bed. So Monday morning, as I was showering, I felt like the conditioner was making my hair feel really weird.  Well, that's because I dumped a bottle of lotion on my hair . . . FYI, that doesn't work well. Monday we finally moved in!  I took these pictures after a full day of unpacking and cleaning if you can believe it.  They look really bad, but they give you a tas...

OK, so I guess the consensus of the man giving me the flowers is creepy to everyone.  I think it's one of those times you had to have been there, because he really didn't seem creepy.  In any event the flowers still look pretty in the kitchen :) Wyatt just cracks me up these days.  I think this is just the funnest age when their personality really shows its true colors.  While we were playing in the backyard I tried to get a video of him using his "worker man voice"  It is the most hilarious thing.  He loves to do things to get me (and especially Erik) to laugh. While I was taking pictures of the boys, I decided I might as well get a shot of the baby tucked away (well not so tucked apparently) at 21 weeks.  I really am feeling so good these days, as long as I get some sleep.  Now that we are back on a normal schedule that's a lot easier to do! Jackson has reached to a new stage as well of keeping himself entertained (without the TV)...

Anna loves being by the fire.  It's actually the only time she doesn't fuss if she's set down.  This girl likes to be held! Our little Sumo wrestler A little dream smile :) We finally found some good bunk beds on Craig's List.  Jackson LOVES sleeping on the top.  I'm still keeping Wyatt in his crib, because he does so well in it.  I see no point in rocking the boat when I have a newborn to give me sleep troubles already.  We'll put Wyatt in bunk bed sometime this summer. Sweet girl.  This is one of my favorite outfits that I ordered for her, because it has my favorite color: yellow :) Jackson always wants to hold her.  Last night we had this sweet conversation: Jackson: "Mom, when are you going to wake up tomorrow morning?" (I've been able to sleep in while my parents have been here) Me: "I don't know Jackson it depends on how much Anna gets up during the night." Jackson: "Oh, I hope she doesn't need to nurse tonight...
