Vacation

Sorry I went away and did not tell you! Just wanted you to know I am still here..well on vacation but will be back to writing sometime soon!

Well while I am on here I might as well write a little...

So we are in Orlando and although it is simply amazing to watch the kids absord the sites, it really is a lot of work to vacation with a three year old and a five month old. Not to mention my brother and his family are here (3 and 1) and my aunt and her family (10, 13, and 16---great ages for vacation and helpers). Honestly, I think we spend more time using the potty and playing stroller musical chairs then anything else!!

But in the end its all worth it just to see my little ones playing and loving on cousins, aunts and uncles that they don't see often.

Since the kids are so young we decided it would be a real waste of money to actually do Disney or any of that. So we have just been hanging out at the pools and such until yesterday when we ventured out for our big amusment park day. Off to Sea World we went!

Now just imagine...two double strollers carrying nothing but bags, 2 over stimulated three year olds, two babies posted on the shoulders of sweaty adults and a 10 year old who had no idea what Sea World was and really just wanted to get wet...needless to say we were a site! hahaha

Funny thing is after all we saw and did, including the big infameous killer whale SHAMU and an awesome dolphin show with tons of acrobates, lights, tricks and flying objects, all Alena wanted to know was where did the girl's window go after she jumped out and into the water to ride the dolphins!!!...She talked about this and only this ALL NIGHT!!!!!!

Finally on the ride home, when Alena was still expressing her devastation about the girl and her loss window, my husband (who already thought we should have just stayed at the pool)..simply said "just like a girl".....

hmph I am still wondering what that means... ;-)

Personal Rules...

Ok so if you read some of the comments from my last blog you will see that my cousin "tagged" me on these personal rules...so now its my turn to tell all of the things that make me very anal and drives my husband nuts!

1. I think its offensive to ask me to repeat myself and if its not heard the second time I usually just stop saying it
2. Passing gas without saying "excuse me" is rude...even if its the 10th time in one night
3. Manners are not just polite they are a must...please, thankyou, excuse me...
4. Please ask me if I have to use the bathroom first before you go in to "read a magazine"
5. If I have to call someone for a reason, I have to first practice the converstation with myself
6. I don't like to touch or look at adult feet but I have to take a baby's socks off to see theirs
7. I can't sleep comfortably if I don't thoroughly lotion my hands and feet before bed
8. Stop breathing so hard, maybe closing your mouth will help?? :-)
9. I don't enjoy "stupid talk"...I'd rather sit in ackward silence then make up something to say
10. I love just sitting staring at nothing..no t.v., no book, nobody, just me and the walls
11. Using my toothbrush, washcloth or towel is a please don't
12. I love kids, but if you stare at someone you should say something!
13. You should always wear shoes outside
14. Never take someone's last bite
15. Folding laundry makes you neat but its a true waste of time...

wow...I really am a nice person..really I am!

Ok I only know a few of yall who blog, so Shaneia and Rashad you've been tagged...your it!
