Spring break Disney cruise trip

Well I am finally getting back on track after a GREAT vacation. For spring break we went on the Disney cruise. We had a great time and after spending one day on Disney's private island, I didn't want to leave. The kids enjoyed the whole trip, every night we ate in a different restaraunt on the ship and ALWAYS something fun to do.
Alyssa wanted to Pose for us in the Bahamas with the ship behind her Of course Alyssa andEthan had to get their picture with Mickey

Our room, Alyssa Daddy and Ethan. Alyssa thought it was so cool

I must admitt the day on the beach was relaxing, but I think Alyssa felt like she was at home, enjoying her fruit tray.

Alyssa and Ethan all dressed up for the Captain's dinner...saw Snow white on the way (check out Ethan's capatain's outfit)

Well and of course once everyone is all dressed you MUST get a picture. Kyle, Ethan, Me, Alyssa, Donald Duck, Jeanine, Mom and Dad....Ethan wanted nothing to do with Donald.

What cabin fever can do to you.....

Well since Alyssa was under doctor's orders to stay in and relax and of course that means no one can go outside, so it was a challenge the day of surgery she pretty much slept and laid on the couch or in her bed, the day after she felt ok on and off which caused alot of craziness in the house, those who know me know I am a neat freak and can not stand a mess in the house, but Kyle did his best to make the kids have a great time and me not to go to insane with the mess. He made a tent and they loved it, it was also challenging because Ethan is going through the terrible two's! He is starting to come out with his own opinions and thoughts, and well we don't always seem to agree. Alyssa has always been very stubborn and wants things "her way" Ethan is my sweet and loving son....well he is starting to show his own side too.
Daddy and Ethan had a long day and while watching the race Ethan literally just passed out!

Here Ethan decides he wants to relax while the rest of us get ready to go out to the store...must be nice to be a kid.

Ethan decides that he does not want to go to bed so he hides under the highchair, I let him think for a bit that he has a choice.

This is the awesome tent that Daddy made for the kids to watch tv under in the playroom and also so the mess did not over consume the house.

I did enjoy the long weekend. Sometimes between work and the kids and family events we get so caught up in "our lives" we rarely take the time to just sit and enjoy each other's company. I know that someday I will realize time went by just too fast and I will only which I had taken the time to slow down and just sit!
