Disney, Disney, Here We Come
Yes, you heard me. We are going to DisneyWorld!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, now that you are done screaming with me, let me tell you all about it. Due to some Christmas money, gift certificates, and money we didn’t spend on Christmas, we were able to pull this off. Disney is offering a buy 4 night get 3 free deal. This also includes your park tickets. Also, if you go before March 29th, you get a $200 gift card to Disney when you get there. I was able to find airfare from Southwest for $78 each way for each of us. To save a little money, we are making Will a lap baby (wish me luck on that one).
I was to Disney when I was 15, but haven’t been back since. This will be the first trip for Bill, Madison, and Will. Madison is pretty excited. Since I have a few weeks before we get to go, I’ll be talking a lot of Disney. 
However, Bill has already told me I am not allowed to pay for internet access while I am there, so you all will at least get a little break from the Disney madness.
Tell me about your trips to Disney. Anything we definitely need to do? Any advice you want to give me?
Christmas Tree Madness
This is what our Christmas tree looked like for about two hours on Sunday. Granted, our prelit tree is 8 years old. However, half of the tree was out when we put it up. Of course, Bill didn’t bother to plug it in until we were over half done getting it up and fixing the branches. He’s lucky I didn’t recommend he start researching a hotel las vegas. Instead, I stayed quite calm and just finished the tree. Since only one side of the tree was out, we were able to cheat and just turn that side to the wall. We also broke two ornmanents (thanks kids!) before we even had the garland on the tree. Good times, good times.
Here are a few more pics of us/the tree/the kids having some fun:
Halloween Madness
How was your Halloween? Here is Chicago we had a beautiful day. The last two Halloweens it was so cold that we have to dress the kids in layers of berghaus clothing, and they were still cold after about an hour. Not that they wanted to quit trick or treating or anything, but I was worried about how cold it was. However, this year, we didn’t have that problem. I think it was almost 70 degrees out. I definitely had the kids and myself overdressed. I actually found myself sweating at times. Isn’t that crazy?
We went with my neighbors and their kids and ended up trick or treating for about two hours. About half way through, we went back to our houses and got a wagon. Will was getting super heavy a that point. Bill would have been here to help, but he got stuck in a huge traffic jam trying to come home (obviously, everyone had the same idea to leave early). After the third house, I quit walking Will to the door. His 27 pounds gets quite heavy when you have to walk up porch steps several time. However, Madison made sure he was taken care of. She asked at almost every house for candy for her little brother. Then she would run to Will and put it in his pumpkin. It was cute, but highly embarassing for me.
After two hours, Bill ended up getting home, and we went to his brothers house. We were suppose to trick or treat over there, but the kids were pretty much done (which was fine with me, because I was beat). We just ended up ordering pizza, and the kids just played together.
All in all it was a pretty good day. How about you? How did you spend your Halloween?
