We decided to tell the boys tonight that we are headed to Disney World during their spring vacation in April! We've known for quite a few months that we would be heading there. This trip would NOT be made possible if it weren't for Doug and Karen Lyford. They are from Chelsea, VT and I've known them for YEARS!!! I enjoy giving my Duke/NCSU tickets to them and they soooooo graciously gave us a ONE WEEK timeshare to anywhere!!!! I don't know who is more excited...Cailean or me?! We didn't want to tell the boys because we didn't want to hear "When are we going? Is it April 3rd yet? How many more days." So, tonight I put in the Disney dvd that Cailean's brother and wife sent to us and had a few Mickey Mouse, Cars and Nemo books on the floor. Ian caught on quickly and I did see a smile on his face. Gavin just yelled out that he wanted to meet Goofy! LOL I don't know what I was expecting...cartwheels? jumping up and down? I don't think they quite understand what Disney World is all about or where it's located.
So now I'm on the hunt for finding deals with tickets. No more spelling out Disney (of course if Ian was paying any attention he would know what we were spelling) or anything like that. I can call AAA in front of the kids, etc.
Back to today...
Ian and Gavin had an eventful day. Mom and my grandparents picked them up at 8:30am and they headed to church. I took a cat nap and met them at Bob Evans for brunch. I'm still trying to recover from pneumonia and my medication makes me sooooo tired. Then, mom took them to Target and then over to Max's and Sam's house. Since they live near mom, it was easier for mom to drop them off. They spent the afternoon with Max, Sam, Rob and Leslie. That totally helped me out. I just snoozed on the couch and managed to do some laundry. THANK YOU REID FAMILY!!!! Cailean picked them up on the way home from work, swung by mom's to pick up chili (she made in the crockpot and shared with us, so I didn't have to cook) for dinner and came home.
It's Teacher Appreciation week this week at Kingswood and we were going to have a HUGE breakfast at 8am and have the mayor come talk to the teachers. Well, we are expecting a few inches of snow and not sure if school will be cancelled. So, we decided to move the breakfast to Tuesday morning to be on the safe side! I had a lot of fun planning it and there is a great core group of PTA members who are sooooo active and really helped pull this off.
