The other day I was at the store and for some reason I decided to look at the ice cream.  I am not a huge ice cream eater when it starts getting chilly so I am not sure what possessed me to look, but nonetheless I looked.  Let me tell you I am so glad I did.  I came across the best ice cream in the world!  Ben & Jerry's has a Snickerdoodle Cookie Ice Cream flavor and it tastes like you are eating a snickerdoodle cookie.  It is only out for a limited time so be sure to try it before it goes away.

If you decide to try it let me know what you think.  LOVE IT or HATE IT!

I LOVE IT!!!!!

WOW, I am so glad October is over!  October was filled with poop and puke and no Disney so I am very grateful that it is over and now we can look ahead to November. 

November will be a month with no puke, no poop and DISNEY!!!  After both my kids had the stomach bug we had to cancel our Disney trip and reschedule.  Thankfully the airlines and Disney have been very accommodating and understanding which has made this whole thing a lot easier to deal with.  Don't get me wrong telling Andrew was by far the hardest thing we have had to do but the boy took it like a champ.  He is almost five, but I really thought there would be more tears than there were.  He was sad and shed a few tears but overall he truly understood and had no resentment toward his sister or anything.  The greatest thing was we had it rescheduled within the week so he could see that we were still going and there was an actual date he could see on the calendar. 

So our family countdown begins again and we are all looking forward to our 1st Disney trip in a few weeks.  YAY!!!!

Andy and I are celebrating our six year wedding anniversary and it has been an amazing six years.  We now have 2 beautiful children who make us laugh and remind us everyday how lucky we are.

Not every moment has been easy but we are stronger today then we were the day we got married. 

This time next week I will be waking up in the most magical place on earth?  Where you ask?  Walt Disney world of course!  I am so excited because I have never been and neither have my kids.  This will be our first trip and we get to take it together.    We leave next Thursday and provided I can keep my family healthy it will be an amazing trip.

Now on to keeping the kids healthy.  Last Friday about 4pm Andrew looked at me burped and threw up all over the place.  That lasted for 24 hours and I thought to myself okay well at least we are getting this out of the way and everyone will get it and we will be better by Disney.  Well all week has gone by and no one else got sick so I have been so relieved.  The this morning we are sitting here and Maiya is next to me on the couch.  She does that same burp, my eyes widened and I looked over at her...not 2 seconds later she has vomit coming out of her mouth and nose.  All of her milk from this morning all over her and the couch.  Nothing worse then milk that comes back up. 

Now I am just praying that she was just overheated and not really sick, but my guess is she has the same thing Andrew had, but I am going to hold out hope that she will be okay and is not sick.  She has no fever but neither did Andrew when he was throwing up.

Andrew has had two T-ball games and it has been so much fun watching him play.  His team is called the Volcanoes and all the kids are so nice and they love to cheer each other on.  I am so proud of Andrew and how good he listens and follows instructions from his coaches and teammates.  Today he got a medal for good sportsmanship and he was so excited and proud of himself.  It was so cute!

Anyway here are some pictures that my sister in law took from his game last week.

Here is my preschool update...this is day 3 of school and Andrew is loving it.  He says he has a lot of fun and they do a lot of fun stuff (those are his words).  :)  His favorite thing is earning "fuzzies" because if they earn eight or more "fuzzies" by the end of the week they get to pick out of the treasure box.  Andrew already has four just from today, so I am sure he will get to pick out of the treasure box on Thursday.
 
I signed him up to take computer classes this year and he had his first class today and he was so excited about it when I picked him up.  He said that he loves computer class and asked when he gets to go back again.  I told him he only goes once a week and he was so disappointed that he had to wait another week to go.   I am just so glad he enjoyed the class and I hope he doesn't get bored. 

Andrew seems to be adjusting well which is the most important thing.  I asked him today if he made any new friends and he said no.  He said one girl spit in his face because he had the toy she wanted and that some of the boys are mean.  I told him just to be the nice little boy that I know and he WILL make new friends it just might take some time.  He seems okay with that.  I think the thing that makes it easy is that they are so busy doing things he is never by himself and on the playground he gets to see his buddy Nate.   I think that makes things easier for him.

A while back I started my business blog just to post pictures of new items and updates on orders and other silly stuff.  I have not been keeping it updated lately but just recently had a makeover.  There were so many things wrong with the old look and I couldn't get the lady who designed it to email me back to get the issues fixed.  So I went back to Laura who designed this blog and asked if she could do my Pink Hippo blog.  She did an amazing job. 

Stop on by and check it out.
