I should just call this the 6 month blog. I always forget it for 6 months then remember I have it because someone has requested a recipe and I have it written down to do this and well, I'm still pretty brain damaged in some areas. It's spring break and tomorrow I'm taking the kids to "grandpa's".
Well not really Grandpa Z's like we usually go but to CA. Yeah, Cali. We've never ever ever taken a family vacation that didn't involve going to the mountains this past decade so we are tomorrow. So what a better way to cheer them up? A surprise trip to Disneyland.
We are meeting up with Uncle Dean and Aunt Sue in Palm Springs but the kids don't know that. They think we have to leave early to meet up with Uncle Dean and Aunt Sue in Eagar for lunch. I didn't say WHERE we were meeting, just that we have to leave early to meet them and they can sleep in the car. They won't figure it out until we're in Indio and I'm not saying anything about the D-land until we get there. Told the boys they had to pack nice pants because we have a nice dinner at Aunt Joyces so no nasty pants, ha ha ha. How is that? I hope it works out and all is kept well. It's going to be a tough year, we may as well start it off with something good this time around.
The cockatoos were left at Cage World so I'm not worried about Elvis getting out and eating the vacuum cleaner. They were upset, it was hard boarding them but Debbie is going to mellow Elvis out. He's been plucking since Thad left at New Years. He was put into a cage below an obnoxious parrot that kept throwing seed into my hair and saying in a fluttery voice "Heeell loowww". He clutched the door of the cage like "Please don't leave me here. I won't eat the vacuum cord anymore. I won't chew on the coffee table, I won't tear up any more picture frames, please don't leave me!" Poor Elvis. Buddy was okay with it, he loves the company and the noise there. He's neurotic anyways and has never had feathers. Elvis on the other hand....
So that's pretty much it here. I'll be back and I'll post those enchilada recipes I promised Josh. He can wait that long. xoxo
The week was great success! Eric cried when he realized that not only were we staying at a hotel across the street from Disneyland but we were actually going INTO Disneyland. We had 3 day passes so we're pooped and tired and full of wonderful memories. We exhausted each day to the fullest and rode as many rides as many times as possible. Great success! Only thing missing was Doobs. It was the perfect thing to take their mind off of him.
