saturday was unseasonably hot! so we thought we'd get away from the inland heat and head out closer to the shore, thinking it would be cooler...nope, still hot, but we love it. we headed over to Downtown Disney to walk around and hang out on the hotel grounds. the kiddies loved just being somewhere new, new things to see, new places to run. they loved "steering" the remote control boats, see "mickey and minnie",going to the lego store, but best of all...the waterfall! oh how jenalyn loved it - mainly because it was soooo loud and she could yell and scream and be loud too! we ended the day sippin' on jamba juice (eli had H2O) waving good-bye to all the new things we saw that day. "by-bye water, bye-bye tropical birds, bye-bye trees, bye-bye mc mouse..."






the pat on the back for me, you ask??? is it bad to be proud of oneself? well I am! only b/c you see that skirt jenalyn is wearing? Ive always wanted to get her a pettiskirt, but I wasnt about to spend $90-$100 on one...so I decided to make it. after doing much research on how to create this cute twirly thing, in which most of my finding were nothing but stories filled with horror, frustration and a project that can make one go crazy...I decided to take the plunge anyway. and Im glad I did. it wasnt too bad - time consuming: yes, lots of patience needed: yes, super cute: YES! it is by far not perfect, but trust me, Im already devising a plan to practice another one. now I just have to decide what color next...any suggestions?
