I have a dream...that one day my room will be my sanctuary....that it will smell nice....look inviting....and make me "feel like a natural, WOman!" (those were song lyrics BTW!) Here's where I am with that,

Step One : Remove the little people! Both kids are in their own rooms, mostly sleeping through the night!
Step Two: Remove traces of the little people! *Sniffle* This has been next to our bed since Jacob was born....but....No More! *Grin* (I mean the bassinet BTW)
Step Three: Get crap off the floor. My super cool hubby made me this:

Step Four: Vacuum and dust like I should have been doing since we moved in 4 years ago! After doing this it's amazing how much better the room smelled!
Step Five: Accessorize and add the finishing touches! No picture just yet, stay tuned!

I needed to get away from the drilling and digging going on in front of our house, so where else to go but Disneyland! Thanks to my Dad for thinking of us and getting us awesome park hopper tickets!, and to my in-laws who just happened to be staying in O.C. for the week with an extra room, looked like it was meant to be!
For Charlie's first trip, we made sure to hit up Dumbo, Storybook Land, the Jungle Cruise, the Tiki Room, both Toy Story rides, A Bugs World, and Pirates of the Caribbean (despite him deciding to fall asleep through it!). Charlie's favorite ride was the newly remodeled "It's a Small World", he was jumping up and down and clapping to each country's take on "Jingle Bells"! He had his first Churro, pineapple soft serve, and even managed a picture with a character or two! No meltdowns or fears, no rain, and no trips to lost and found! I am happy to report a disaster- free Disney day!

It snowed on the first day of school back from break, for about 2 hours, and then it melted. In Jacob's words, "That sucks. They didn't let us play outside for recess and it melted by the time I got home, that sucks." We have a few trips planed to the mountians coming up, still a backyard snowman would have been cool.
