I have a lot of updating to do on the blog. We were in Vegas from 5/23-5/26. We stayed at the MGM and had a great time. We are getting a little sick of the overcrowded big hotels. The kids were great on both ends of the car rides. I brought lots of books, Leapsters, drawing things to keep them busy. We have really great car kids, way better than me. Bret did horrible gambling this time. I gambled a little and came close to winning $100.00-I didn’t gamble too much at all. The first day in Vegas surprisingly was cold. After that though we were able to go swimming. Anytime we got cold we just headed over and warmed up in the jacuzzi. Nicole was loving the pool so much-she would never admit she was cold. Both kids could touch the bottom on their tippy toes. Justin loved the lazy river ride. We just had lots of nice family time. We went to see the fountains at the Bellagio, played games at Circus Circus plus the acrobat act, saw the lion at MGM, visited the M&M store, etc. The kids loved the games and were so excited to win animals. The kids were able to buy something with their pennies from this trip. Justin picked out a car and Nicole picked out a baby lion. The kids are really into a phase of wanting to buy something. It is driving us crazy. At the hotel room the kids loved hanging out in the hallway. They would run up and down the hallways. Also got all their animals out there and pretended it was a zoo. Their imaginations always amaze me. Of course our trip went way too fast and back to reality.
Dad took the entire week off, so we headed to Disney this morning. First thing this morning though I had to go to the dentist. He is fixing my back molar that I have pushed down into my gums. It is going to be a crown. I was so miserable from the dentist though. I hate the dentist. Dad went for a teeth cleaning when I got back. I got ready for Disney and we were off. The kids were so excited to have daddy with them at Disney. We went on Buzz, Pooh, Autopia, the train, small world, and headed to toon town for a bit. The kids had fun playing in the houses in toon town. They pretended to be in the dog pound and daddy and I adopted them. Justin just loved pushing the doorbell on the firehouse and making the fire dog bark and pop up in the window. It was a great day at Disney. The kids are sleeping and I am off to be more pathetic about my tooth.
We went to the Alladin show at CA Adventure. It was so great. Of course Nikki had to re-cap the bad parts over and over again. I asked the kiddos what their 3 wishes would be. Justin said he didn’t know and Nikki said 1) go to the dentist with me, so she could come and give me a hug to make it better 2) play doll house with me 3) play with me. I loved it!
