Sarah's first haircut

We've been getting by with the "whale spout", but Sarah has been taking out the rubber band more and more often. I finally decided to take matters into my own hands (of course I saved the little lock of hair that I trimmed from her bangs).

Disney Pictures

I didn't get to the pictures until this morning... we were all completely exhausted by the time we got home. All 3 kids fell asleep in the car on the ride home, Jimmy was trying to find a spot to lie down and go back to sleep on the playroom floor while we were getting them into PJs, but Katie caught a second wind and was running around for 10 or 15 minutes before she finally climbed into her bed.

Jimmy is really hooked on trains now. Before we left for the office this morning, he was riding around on his turtle saying "choo choo choo!" He found his Thomas the train engine and was rolling it around on the train tracks printed on the "town" rug in the playroom. I think his birthday may be a good time to start on the Thomas train collection.

The Disney photos are on the new June 2009 album page. It was a bit difficult to get pictures since all three of us (Russ, Kirsitina, and I) each had a kid to hold on to and chase after, but we got a few good ones.

First Disney Trip

We took the kids to Disney World for the first time today and everyone had a great time! There was a bad accident that had the highway closed down on oir way over, so it took us 3 hours instead of 90 minutes, but that was the only snag we hit all day.

We went on It's A Small World, the Pooh ride (formerly Mr. Toad's Wild Ride - this was my first time on it's new incarnation), the steam train, the Tiki Room, and the treehouse. The kids loved all of it, even the parking lot tram and the ferry boat from there to the Magic Kingdom, but their favorite thing by far was the Pooh-themed playground... with fountains of water shooting up out of the ground. All 3 of them squealed and giggled and got SOAKED!! Fortunately it was 90 degrees out & Mommy brought along a change of clothes for everyone.

They had nice naps in their strollers after Jimmy watched the train go past a couple of times ("WOW! WOW!"). At the end of their nap time we took a snack break in the shade just at the right time in Frontierland and ended up with spots right up front for the parade, which had them waving and clapping at all of the characters & dancers.

We had some dinner and a couple of last rides,and then headed for home as we are all pretty worn out after all the ecxitement.

Pictures to come as soon as we get home & get them to bed.
