The Happiest Place On Earth!!! My parents gave Mark and me Disneyland anual passes for Christmas; what an awesome gift! We went for the first time today and had a great time. Jason and Carrie received passes too so they were there also. I am looking forward to many fun times ahead at the Magic Kingdom. I, myself, had an anual pass for many years growing up, so it was a lot of fun to take Ben and watch him having such a good time. So if any of you want to go... we're there!

Today I am thankful for...
1.Ben having a MUCH better day today than yesterday, or any other day this week for that matter. (Thanks Amy, that was good napping advice.)
2. asparagus and kiwi becuase they are the only things Ben would eat tonight for dinner. At least one of them was a vegetable.
3. Mark's grilling abilities.
4. Jason and I sharing memories today of our times at Disneyland growing up. I'm sure my mom has to choke back tears knowing that Jason and I actually choose to hang out together now.
5. Mark's funny attitude today. He makes me laugh, that Mark.
6. Mark having a good attitude today at D-land, I know he went just for me, and I know he'll go again just for me. :)
7. my name. I love that it's part of the Smith family, but I love even more that it's from the Bible. Mark was reading to me today from Genesis where it talks about Sarah laughing when she over hears that she's going to have a baby. I love that my namesake's reaction to absurd news is to laugh, that's just my style.
8. my time at Disneyland with the fam. (I missed Darren and that bunch though.) Ben had an impressively good time.
9. going to church tonight and having Ben be promoted to the "early walkers" childcare room.
10. my growing love for spinach and other greens. When Mark and I first got married I wouldn't touch the stuff with a ten foot pole, now I eat handfuls of it. Don't put your money on me liking onions anytime soon, but greens are a nice, healthy start.

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)
