Question of the Week:
Zac 5: “Mommy, what color are Daddy’s eyes?'”
Me: “Hazel”
Zac: “Is hazel more blue or purple?”
(I want to see Jeff with blue or purple eyes 
====================
Our school had it’s “Musical Extravaganza” last week where kids sang songs they have learned this fall in class. Zac’s Kinder class sang a cute song about fish (thus the sweet fishy hats), and Sarah’s 4th grade class has been learning to play the recorder. I put a red x above our kids’ heads:
This next photo wraps up my week… Rachel 2, trapped in a Tigger costume while I nap (no fun sickies this week) with two cats on the back couch.
Rachel’s brothers helped her get into the costume, then when she had to go potty, her hair got caught in the back zipper so Josh and Zac cut Rachel’s hair to try to release the zipper jam. The Tigger costume zipper never relented, so it’s been sent through the wash now due to the ‘accident.’
All this while I napped.
Never. a. dull. moment, especially when you’re sick. Ha!
3 Days at Disneyland!
Day #1: Date night! We tried to hit all the scary rides that our kids won’t go on.
California Screamin’:
We doubled up with friends Matt & Jenni Cliff for part of the evening at the Tower of Terror.
Day #2: My mom and dad offered to watch Rachel for the day while the 5 eldest Garlands had some fast-ride fun… all together!
(photos hacked from the disneyland photo website)
Sketching Daisy Duck at the Animation Academy. The devoted Mr. Garland is so good!
Jeff lost his hat on the Grizzly river ride. Or rather I should say he lost his father-in-law’s hat on the ride! Good thing Tilley hats float… amazingly enough, it turned up at the end of the ride in the water!
Day #3: Our friends the Cliffs and Shlemons met up with us for a day of fun. 3 moms plus 9 kiddos.
Rachel has hit the 40” height which opened up many rides for her. Some are too scary for her at 2yo! Her first time about Silly Symphony Swings:
Matterhorn:
My all-time favorite ride: Big Thunder Mountain! I still can’t believe all these little kids like such scary rides!
Sarah and Evie on the Golden Zephyr:
The Little Mermaid ride:
2yo buddies (with Mark Train Riverboat in the background):
Cliff and Garland kids on the monorail exiting the park. A wonderful day:
This concludes our 3-day Disneyland blitz. Now I’m going to take a HUGE nap.
