The Smith 5 does the Magical Kingdom

Well it was definitely was magical. We had fun, just the five of us. We cruised the streets of both Disneyland and California Adventure. Disneyland at Christmas time is such a treat.

 

Trick Or Treat

So I am going to come out and admit it, I am not the biggest fan of Halloween, but I don't want to ruin all the fun for my kiddos so I let them do all the planning. This year Holliday wanted to be a ladybug and Lucia wanted to be Cinderella and as usual Asher wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Asher and Holliday were easy. We had all the Luke stuff laying, as Asher has frequently dressed up like Luke over the last few years.....not just on Halloween, but on any given day. Holliday's lady bug was easy too we just used dance wear and found some wings and added pipe cleaner antenna's and she had some ladybug shoes already. Lucia on the other hand.....we went looking and found the most adorable Cinderella dress at the thrift shore. We added a blue headband, glass slippers, pearls and long white gloves. We wore it for two days before Halloween all day long! Then, on Halloween 20 minutes before we are going trick o treating she decided her Cinderella dress is too tight and kind of itchy. Oh Lou, so she opted for some random fairy dress and wings. Oh well, at least now we have a full Cinderella costume for next week when she decides to be Cinderella all day long again. I love kids, everyday is a dress up day in our house. You never know when you might come by and find a monkey, a fairy princess, or a Jedi knight just hanging out!

No labor Labor Day!

Well, feels like all I have been doing this month is laboring. Hence the delay in my positng of how we spent our glorious Labor day. Hope your wrap up to Summer was grand. Ours sure was!

It's gonna be a great year!

Time really does fly and I can't believe my sweet baby boy is in the first grade. We have a wonderful teacher, Mrs. Munizich. If every teacher were as great the world would be a differant place. I am sure of it!!! It is going to be a great year!

Strawberries and Cream

I love summer for so many reasons. Strawberries are just one of the many. Holliday and Lucia prefer theirs with cream and dessert is always best when shared with the ones you love.
