Friday Favorites!!

{nursery progress}

We now have a rug!! I ordered it from Ikea and I love the way it looks. I'm still waiting for the bedding to come in.

Joe made these shelves and they turned out so well. We are still styling them up, but you get the idea. 

I ordered some beetles from Thailand and those came in the mail this week. Don't worry, they are dead :)

I've also been shopping and buying some cute outfits. These all came from Aliexpress and were under $8 each! They do run really big though!

{Easter Happenings}

We pulled out our Easter decorations and have been adding bunnies everywhere :)

I made Sally a cute lunch this week. She was so excited!!

We made recycled crayon bunnies for Sally to give to her friends at school. 

{Big Sister Class}

Last weekend Sally and I attended the Celebrate Siblings class at the hospital where I will deliver. She was so very excited and was the perfect student. She made a birthday card for Henry, watched a video about being a big sister, learned how to diaper, swaddle and hold the baby, and got a tour of the nursery and recovery room. It was such  fun time and I am so glad we did it. 

{Big Girl}

I cannot deny that my sweet baby girl is turning into a little girl. Its like she grew up overnight. Its very bittersweet. I want her to stay little but see the wonderful girl that she is becoming. 

{Central Church MOPS/Mom2Mom Group}

This sweet group of girls means so much to me and I love our Wednesday morning time together!!

Disney Girls Trip {Day 5}

Our last day we checked out of the hotel, dropped off our bags in the lobby and headed to Animal Kingdom. The rest of the week had been hot but today it was COLD!! I mean really chilly!! Sally was complaining the whole time and even though she had on pants and a sweater, I still felt guilty. 

The first thing we did was wait in line to meet Pocahontas. We had never met her before so Sally was pretty excited!

We also did the Safari ride, It's a Bugs Life and the Nemo show. 

Once we got into the Nemo theater she was warm and happy!

We ate lunch at Yak and Yeti (quick service) and then headed back to the hotel. It was time to go to the airport. 

We had a great trip!! I am so glad that I got to do a girls trip with Sally before Henry gets here. It did make me realize how much Joe helps when we are there. It was exhausting getting her ready, pushing the stroller, holding her hand on the bus, carrying her places, etc. It would be tiring for anyone, but being 6 months pregnant, it was even worse for me. I didn't complain at all when we were there but when we finally got home, I was TIRED!!!

Our next trip to Disney is in September and Henry will be 4 months old!!

Disney Girls Trip {Day 4}

Day 4 came early and we were off to Epcot. One of the hard things about traveling with Sally by myself is that I had to get myself up and ready before even attempting to wake her up. Even then....there were usually bribes involved. These girls were just so tired every day!!

The whole group in front of Epcot.

We had an early breakfast reservation at Akershus. It's a fabulous Princess breakfast in the Norway section of World Showcase. There are usually about 5-6 princesses there so its a great way to get some princess meet and greets. Most of the little girls will be wearing their princesses dresses so make sure to bring one for your kids. 

Sally wanted to be Ariel. Instead of a scratchy dress up type dress, I really wanted her to have a comfy Ariel dress. MadysonAndMarie on etsy came through and made her this fabulous dress. It was just perfect!!

When you first enter the restaurant, you get to meet Belle and get your picture made with her. They used to give you a free print out of this but I found out on this trip they are now offering a free download on your Memory Maker. 

There is a buffet of fruits, pastries, cheeses, etc that you help yourself to and then they bring out a platter of hot food (bacon, sausage, eggs, potatoes). Its all you can eat so fill up!

The princesses make their rounds around the tables. make sure to have your camera and autograph book ready!

Princess Aurora

Snow White

They also brought Sally a cupcake for her birthday!!

Cinderella!

Ariel!

Also during the meal, they will call all the little princesses to come to the center of the room and they will have a parade around the restaurant. It's really cute!

The girls had fun twirling in their dresses!

We rode several rides at Epcot and also visited Club Cool Its a free area where you can sample Coke products from different countries!

We also met Mary Poppins in England!!

In France, we got some yummy salted caramel ice cream using a snack credit!

Sally got mixed berry sorbet.

We met Mulan in China.

For dinner, we had reservations at San Angel Inn in Mexico. Most people walk right past this building, never knowing whats inside. 

Look at the restaurant. Its so neat!! The whole thing looks like a Mexican marketplace at night. There is also a sweet little ride that takes you past the restaurant on the river.

The food is really good too!! I had a shrimp dish that was fabulous!

It was raining when we left so we had to make a run for the buses! Another successful day in the books!

Disney Girls Trip {Day 3}

Day three started bright an early. We let the girls wear princess dresses today. 

Sally and Carol Hannah were mistaken for the real Snow White and Sleeping Beauty and were asked for their autograph from a cast member...so sweet!!

Waiting for the bus!

Our little princesses at Magic Kingdom!!

We headed to Fantasyland and rode Under the Sea with Ariel and then went right next door to meet her. This is Sally's favorite and she loves getting to sit in the shell. 

We also had a visit with Merida. Sally got to shoot a bow and arrow!!

We stopped by Pixie Hollow to meet Tinkerbelle!

Sally had to try on a hat at every shop we stopped in :)

We also ran into some baby ducks with their mama outside Pirates of the Caribbean. Sally was feeding them her goldfish crackers.

My little pirate!! We love this ride!!

We headed over to the Polynesian resort for dinner at Ohana. It was fabulous as usual!!

They start you off with pineapple bread.

Next they bring out a yummy salad.

Next up are potstickers and sticky chicken wings...

and then noodles and veggies. 

Make sure to save room for the Pineapple Bread Pudding with Ice Cream!!

They also brought out brownie cupcakes sprinkled with mickey shaped sprinkles for the girls. 

After our bellies were super full we went back into Magic Kingdom to watch Celebrate the Magic and Wishes. It was amazing as always!

Sally passed out while waiting or the bus. 

I think you could call that a successful day!!
