Who's the leader of the club?

This weekend my hubby went off with the guys to the Florida football game- that means a whole 3 days with just me and the kids...he should have known better than to leave me during beautiful weather! Sunday morning I woke up and decided I would take the kids to Disney World! So of course the first thing I did was call and wake Jamie up to see if she wanted to come along (I know you think we are crazy...we work together everyday and hang out on the weekends- but it is always nice to have someone around who knows I'm not perfect but still tells people I am) and of course she was game for the day trip.
So around 9:30 am we were headed to Orlando. We got there around 11:15 and had to have a very serious talk with Bella. I had to convince her she was magically 2 today and not 3. (If you work for Disney and are reading this blog...please stop reading now!) You see, if she was in fact 3 then we would have had to pay an extra $56...stop rolling your eyes, I know that is absolutely horrible to teach my kids to lie about their age to get in free but at the same time- I am taking them t Disney World, I think they will find it in their hearts to forgive me later.
It took some convincing but we did convince her and we tested her many times just in case the ticket lady thought to ask her how old she was. Preston needed more explanation because he is too smart to fall for this and he was trying to remind Bella that she just had a birthday party to celebrate turning 3, so we just kept him far from the ticket lady in case she thought to ask him how old his sister was. It worked, we made it into the gates with no incidents and only paid for 2 adults and one child. As soon as we were through the turn stall, we told Bella she was magically 3 again... and she said OK.
The weather was perfect and it was a little more crowded than we thought it was going to be but I think the longest we waited in a line was 15 min. Bella is still not sure about a lot of the rides, any time a ride got dark, she got scared and had to be talked through it, except on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, she has seen the movie so many times because of Preston that she knew all of the scenes already.
Heaven help any kid who goes on that Snow White ride...it was even a little scary for me, much less a kid...I think they need to update that one a little bit. The tea cups are a classic, Bella did not like the spinning! I do love this picture of she and Jamie! I got really dizzy and felt like a parent when I got off. Preston was having a blast spinning us and I was thinking, "please don't throw up in front of everyone."
Overall we had a great time, the kids fell asleep on the way home, Mike was home cleaning up (I knew there was something I was supposed to be doing instead of going to Disney...) and there was no school this morning so I got to sleep in- what could be better?
