Sunday Curations- Disney Edition!



We went to Disneyland!  And California Adventure!  We made a trip of it and booked two nights in a nearby hotel with friends.  It was awesome and tiring and fun and exhausting and magical and memory-making and a bunch of other things.  Enjoy the photo dump... (surprise!  I'm actually in some of these photos)

Sunday Curations... on Wednesday Again

...and yikes, two weeks worth!  We've had a crazy past few weeks.  My cousin came for a visit with her three littles- and it was my kids' first time meeting 'family' that was the same age.  So we touristed (new word!) around San Diego with them.  Beach, Legoland, San Diego Bay, to name a few.  Oh and have I mentioned that we're getting our house ready to sell?  So packing, cleaning, yard work, house projects... busy, busy, busy!

1. But first, a Leo update!


(as I type, I hear things crashing in the other room- Leo is officially crawling- everywhere!- and getting into everything!)  He's 7 months old!  Still a happy, smiley little guy.  He loves his big brother and his doggie.  He loooooves food.  Good sleeper, hates dirty diapers, would really like to eat dead leaves and computer cords.  Can handle long days out and about without complaining.  Continues to convince me that he's teething but with no teeth yet.


eating is exhausting


Perhaps because of his nack for getting into everything, he is super dirty.  I go through so many outfit changes with this little guy that usually by 3 pm, he's down to just a diaper and I'm done changing onesies.  I think its part of his master plan to be as close to naked as possible!

2. Cousins!  Well, actually they are Corbin and Leo's third cousins (second cousins once removed?  I never know how to figure that all out...) (and as an aside, when I was about 12, I became obsessed with figuring out all the relations between me and my mom's side of the family.  The one that finally stumped me was my mom's cousin to me.  I felt like, because of the age, she should have been some sort of 'second aunt' but I guess there is no such term.) 

Anyway, Corbin LOVED having older cousins to play with and follow around.  I loved watching the interactions.

We celebrated our 8 year anniversary...that sounds really long/old.  
So we went to see the Lego Movie in 3D- ha!  Take that 8 years!
