WDW

Zach and I managed to keep a pretty big secret from Jackson and Katherine!  The first Saturday of Spring Break, we informed them we were about to go to Disney World!!  We packed up and headed out shortly after the announcement!  After we arrived, we headed to Downtown Disney and checked out the Lego Store.

 Jackson was content to build things while we were there, while Katherine wanted to fill the containers up and buy all of the pink and purple Legos (only to mention she never plays with them).  Thankfully, we left the Lego store empty handed.

 We haven't even made it to Disney World yet, and Katherine was already trying to spend all of her spending money.

 

 Next up, the T-Rex Cafe, Jackson's favorite from our last visit!

Backtracking to the night before, we spent the night in Tallahassee.  As soon as we walked into our hotel room, chaos broke out.

Katherine couldn't make it to the other bed, so she improvised.

Long car rides and hotel rooms obviously bring out the best in our children.

More of Disney to come!

Garbage Girl

Katherine and I got behind a garbage truck this morning on the way to school.  It was one that had a mechanical lift picking up and dumping the cans.  Her response when she saw it in action--"AWWWESOME!!  I want to do that when I grow up!"

The excitement still existed even tonight.  This evening she turned a box into her own personal garbage truck.

Relaxation

Zach got a hammock for his birthday and decided to hang it up this afternoon.  Katherine thinks it's pretty relaxing and I'm sure we could have gotten her to sleep, but she has an older brother who doesn't believe in calming down.

Zach had to make an adjustment to the hammock,

and Jackson took that opportunity to let his crazy go loose. 

 I took a turn on the hammock and Katherine snuggled in beside me.  Jackson was still acting nuts, and just as Zach distracted Jackson with something else, it started raining.  Maybe next time we'll get a few relaxing minutes in the hammock.
