Disney World Trip

We had a great time at Disney World. The kids were great on the plane. Brent slept the whole way to Orlando. Nile and Claire watched a movie and loved looking out the window. The first day we went to Magic Kingdom and rode lots of rides and the kids got lots of autographs from their favorite characters. They loved watching the parade and seeing all their favorite characters. Nile loved Space Mountain and was able to ride that a few times with Scott while I took Brent and Claire on some other rides. We went to Epcot that evening so Nile and Scott could ride some rides there. The next day we went to the Animal Kingdom and had breakfast with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto. We all went on the safari and then Scott and Nile rode the Mount Everest ride a couple of times. That was Nile's all time favorite ride. We then went to MGM Studios and I took Nile and Claire on the Tower of Terror. Claire loved it. We went to a class about learning how to draw Donald Duck. Someone on the shuttle back to the hotel saw Nile's picture and asked if she could have it. Her mom said they were going to frame it and hang it in her room. The next day we went to MGM again and then we went to Magic Kingdom. Claire had her big make over at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and then we had dinner with Cinderella. Claire loved it!! We then went trick or treating through out the park and watched a fireworks show and another parade. The next morning we left to come back to Kansas CIty. We were catching up on sleep all week long. I finally feel back to normal.

Scott's Birthday Week

We have had a busy week since the ER. Scott's parents came in town the first weekend in October. They went to a cub scout activity with Nile that Saturday. They went on a train ride. The theme for scouts in September had been trains. We went to our favorite Mexican restaurant, Mi Ranchito, to celebrate Scott's birthday. On Scott's real birthday, we went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner since cheesecake is his favorite and then we went to go see Momma Mia! It was an interesting musical. The music was fun. This week we are getting ready to head to Disney World on Thursday night. Scott is in Orlando for business meetings so we thought it would be fun to join him and take the kids to Disney World. Thursday night I get to fly with kids and meet him there. Hopefully, the kids will be good on the plane. It should be interesting. Here are a few pictures from the past week.

A Visit to the ER

Yesterday, I was busy getting ready for Scott's parent's to come in town by cleaning my house. I received a phone call from the school saying that I needed to come and get Nile right away, he had cut his had and the nurse thought he needed stitches. So as soon as I was off the phone, I told Scott to come upstairs(he works from home in the basement when he is not traveling) and get ready because we had to pick Nile up from school and take him to get stitches. Nile had been cutting a word search out and cut his left index finger. He cut a horseshoe shape at the tip of his finger. The nurse could not get it to stop bleeding. We took him to the Children's Hospital ER and he received two stitches. He has to wear a metal thing on his finger and keep it taped up for a few days. This meant no hockey or flag football this weekend. We tried to talk the doctor into letting him play hockey and she didn't think that was a good idea. His stitches will be in until next Friday. He is hoping that he will be able to play flag football by next weekend. He is such an active kid it is going to be a rough few days. He has already tried to play catch with Brent. After spending a couple of hours at the hosptial, Scott and I were able to come home and clean the house for his parents.

Pumpkin Quilt

Last night was the second late night of an enrichment quiliting project. I was able to finish. I think it turned out pretty cute.

Peer Pressure

We have given in to peer pressure, we finally have a blog. Scott decided to post some pictures up the other day and I am just now getting to making a post. Our children have been keeping us busy with all their activities this past weekend. Nile had his last fall baseball game and a flag football game. Nile is in the second grade and Claire is in preschool. Brent is mommy's helper. We had the primary program on Sunday and Nile and Claire both memorized their parts and did a great job singing. Here is a picture from Sunday.
