Disney World or Bust!

Ghads... things so far this summer have been super busy for us.  We're having a really great time thus far, despite all the whining.  LOL!  I do feel like we've been dropping loads of cash lately though.  After two years of buying almost nothing, it's a bit of a shock to actually make some bigger purchases again.  Talk about sticker shock!  The worst culprit of all is our upcoming trip to Disney World.  Geesho!!  The cost of just the admission tickets alone warranted a detailed read of the fine print, to ensure that we weren't, in fact, purchasing a black market kidney, instead of a family vacation.  The boys are CRAZY excited about the trip and have been finding "Mickey Ears" in absolutely everything.  It's so fun.  I was thrilled when I found out just this past week, that the place where we're renting our condo actually allows pets (previously I had thought they didn't) and was so glad that we'll be able to take Evai with us and not have to put her in a kennel.  The boys were VERY happy about her getting to come with us as well ♥

Henry's Mickey Mouse Marshmallow :)

We recently added a 15' square trampoline to our backyard fun emporium and the boys have been in 7th heaven!  Our friend Dan came over and helped The P get it all  put together and they were able to knock it out in about 3 hours or so.  It's really fantastic and was absolutely worth the additional cost over a traditional round version.  The amount of bounce the square design provides is Amazing!  I also loooove that the enclosure has a zippered entrance and that the trampoline and enclosure are actually attached and act as one complete piece, so there aren't any gaps or holes at the bottom and is extremely secure and safe.  A must have where Flynn is concerned.  And although it still needs to be leveled, the boys are loving it and spending oodles of time bouncing around.

We also finally got the last of misc. moving crap out of the Den... but were then at a loss at what exactly to do with that room. We had originally thought it would be an "adult" sort of oasis... nice and relaxing with beautiful furniture. Hahahahaha!!! Yeah. That's what I ended up thinking too - like that is EVER gonna happen :) Our boys are just too busy and when we finally get half a second to relax and wind down we're ready for bed! So instead I decided that we would turn the Den into a game room of sorts... say Hello to our beautiful new pool table! We also got a butterfly ping-pong table that can sit on top of the table and an ice hockey table that inserts just inside the table's bumpers. So three toys all in one. We're having loads of fun with it and The P and I have been able to play 3-4 times a week... after the boys are all tucked into bed.

 

With any luck we'll find some time before summer is over to

 paint over the truly horrific teal walls in this room!
