California Vacation - Day 4

Day two in Disney. Today was our magic morning. When you buy passes for 3+ days you get one day where you can get into the park an hour early. We woke the kids up at 6:30, got them all dressed and down to breakfast and out to the car by 7:30. We parked in the toy story parking lot again and made it onto the bus without a glitch. Today's theme was Princesses. We planned to visit Fantasyland and Tomorrowland to finish up the Disneyland park. We grabbed fast passes for Frozen and went to ride some rides! Since it was a magic morning and somewhat emptier, the kids rode the carousel 4 times. They had such a blast! We rode pretty much every ride we could and then went to meet the princesses! It was somewhat unfortunate. When we got to the line it was another one of those mystery lines. It looked like we were the first people there, but really there were already probably 20 families waiting. So we waited, and

Discovering Waldorf pt. 1

I call this pt. 1 because I have a feeling I shall be talking about it quite frequently. lol I'm doing this right now, discovering Waldorf. Mostly by reading every single book the library has in the system and reading as many blogs as google has to offer. I've read books on Waldorf education for a few years now and whenever I find myself contemplating my children's' lives I find myself going along about things in a more "natural" way. Nature walks, reading books, open ended toys... I attempt to hand make the kids' toys and or gifts and if I am purchasing things for them I try my best for it to be an open ended toy that they can fill with their imagination. Capes, blocks, crowns, baby dolls and cradles. Books. I can't tell you how many books we read or even how many we own. As I said, I try my best but I should also mention that (lol) I don't always succeed! The more I discover through reading on the subject the more I like and the more I think a lo

V. Day

Valentines Day was so much fun this year! Not only did I throw myself into creating adorable valentines for the kids' class mates but I actually really enjoyed receiving chocolates too! Are you surprised? Molly attended her first ever Valentines day Party! 'Valentine, you are just write for me!' Side story: In 1994 on February 14th my Grandma Armella picked me up for my birthday and took me to visit my Great Grandma Elizabeth who was in a nursing home on the South Hill in Spokane. She was something like 98 years old and when she saw me she told Grandma I was so cute she wanted to squeeze me until I pooped. As an adult that's insanely funny to hear an old frail woman say - but as a little girl OMG it was terrifying. Plus I was a bit traumatized because when we walked in there was a woman sitting on the front step in a night gown showing her lady parts for the world to see and well, I had never seen lady parts. I was a weird kid, what can I say... it was really scary. But
