The Princess and the Frog

Just went to see the new Disney movie, "The Princess and the Frog". It was charming and funny. My girls loved it. We got to go with Grandma Brook, Great Aunt Mary, Aunt Erin, Aunt Emily, Lauren, Elaine and Collin. We went to Olive Garden afterwards. Overall we had a delightful time. Yet, it is funny how the littlest things set your kids off. Lana wanted to drink out of the wine glasses on the tables, which is not allowed. They are not allowed to serve and non-alcoholic drink in an alcoholic glass which is hard to explain to a four year old. Anywho, that put her in a crabby mood for a little while and it wasn't until I took her outside and asked her why she was upset that I even realized it was about the glass in the first place. Jaynee spilled her chocolate milk and Aunt Erin spilled her adult beverage. But one short walk, and two drink spills later things got back on track and we had a fabulous time.
Kids really do say the funniest things. Well maybe they wouldn't be so funny it is just that a four year old is saying them that makes them hysterical. Lana was in her car seat in the back of Grandma's, old but in great condition Toyota, mini van and we hear "Fire in the hole!" We all started to giggle and grandma made some comment about she must have learned that from her father and someone else made a comment about it might stink in a minute. We were all laughing. What a nut!

Keeping up?

How do some people do it? I have a really hard time keeping up with the blog. I even feel guilty that it is not up to speed. Oh well, do your best and forget the rest! It feels like an over whelming task to talk about everything we have been doing and bring things up to speed on what we have been doing. So, I will start from today and we will see where we get. I make no posting promises. I just finished my second master's class, I am still working at the Olive Garden. Eric is doing amazing at work. Lana is in preschool and Jaynee is working on potty training. We are so excited around here for all the holidays. This year is especially special. We are going to Disneyland on the 20th of December and coming home on Christmas eve. Having kids at Christmas is amazing. They make me feel like a kid again. We are going also to go see the new Disney "Princess and the Frog" movie and I hope is as good as the "Little Mermaid", "Beauty and the Beast" group of films. Here's to keeping up!
