Missing in Action

So I have been missing in action, lots of stuff has been going on.  I have had my hands full with Miss Evangeline, Miss Piper and Miss Trinity as of late.

 We went on vacation and the girls learned some great lessons.

Here they are digging in the dirt.  It became an impromptu lesson in Zombie killing.  I showed Piper how the claw could be used as a weapon against a "bad guy".  LOL when I was done Evangeline brought me the trowel and asked me if it was her turn to kill a zombie, then I had to show her how.  

The weekend with Katie, Eric and Gavyn was awesome.  Evangeline had such faith in Mommy's ability to kill any monsters that came our way that when the older kids were running in the backyard yelling about monsters she told them that there wasn't any monsters.  "Mommy kill the monsters."  Awe how sweet.

Here they are enjoying monster free s'mores on Easter Sunday.  Yay!  Aren't four kids with marshmallows and a fire cute?

 

We hit the beach in Florida and here are my own "monsters" actually getting along and playing with each other.  Evangeline wasn't crazy about the water at first but the beach became her favorite place after about 20 minutes.  We keep having to answer when we will go to the beach again.  Trust me no one in this house was happy to see the snow this morning.

Evangeline's taste in bathing suits did not differ from her taste in clothing.  Tutu's are forever!  This has to be the cutest suit ever. 

 In Disney we had 2 goals.  Meeting Tinker Bell and Rapunzel.  Here we are after a very short 45 minute wait with Tink.  Tink told Evangeline "You look like you fell through a rainbow...was it fun?"  And she said she'd like to fly to Skaneateles someday. With a name like that she was sure to not get lost cause how many Skaneateles' are there?

 After Tinker Bell we were heading to find food and ran into Princess Tiana!  Oh YAY!!! we waited a half hour.  We had to explain that no Evangeline was born a whole year before Tiana's story was told.  My dorky Trinity wouldn't put her glasses up :) 

 After lunch we went to see Rapunzel.  Evangeline and I waited in line for about an hour and a half.  Daddy and the other 2 girls took off for Space Mountain.  We were 3 people away from her favorite Princess when Evangeline said "Mommy I have to go poopy."  ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME KID????  Well we didn't leave the line and there was no poopy pants so it all worked out in the end.  Rapunzel held a very nice one sided conversation with Evangeline including bringing up that her friend Princess Tiana has a friend named Evangeline.  Once again Momma felt the need to say Disney was behind the mark on using that name cause Evangeline had it for a whole year first.  :) 

 She doesn't look thrilled but the Disney Photographer got better pics.  I just have to order the danged disc from them....it's all a racket.  We did have fun in the happiest place on earth and can't wait to go back after all the renovations are done and see the new Fantasyland.

Eventually Mema and Poppop joined us in Florida and for 3 days Evangeline asked for her turn to ride in the Mustang.  Well it was turn and oh no she fell asleep!  Slept the entire ride to Orlando.  Then fell asleep again on the way home.  I guess SeaWorld kicked her booty, all we did there was eat and watch the luau show, see the sharks and watch the Sea Lion show. 

We appreciated Poppop's self control when a corvette went flying by them on RT 4....that's a very good Poppop.  :)  Although if he had to race at least it would have been the car seated kid.

Oh well, that's part of what we've been up too.  It's hard to write a funny blog when the kids are driving you to drink....not even with funny stuff, they are grouchy and that makes Momma pretty grouchy too. 

TTFN!
