It's been a while...again

Let me see how much I can remember....we went on vacation from October 6-12 at Disney World. We had a lot of fun and it was much-needed for our whole family. The kids were really pretty good, they were ready to come home after 5 days though, so that's something to keep in mind. We arrived at Disney Monday afternoon, checked in, bought our passes, and we actually went to the park that night. We were smart enough to buy some nice ponchos before we checked in and boy did that pay off. It rained every single day we were there. On Wednesday I was the big dummy and didn't drink enough, got severely dehydrated, and we had to leave Hollywood Studios so I could lay in the room and re-hydrate. I felt really bad and it was my own fault, but it really did suck. I didn't take my camera in the park because of the rain, so the only pictures I took were on the last day and they were just around the hotel. No big deal though because we decided to buy the seasonal pass, so we'll be back for plenty of photos :)



We left Pixie with Chucks dad/stepmom. She loved it there and when we went to pick her up we brought home her new big brother, Teddy. He is a sweet boy, just has a little learning to do. They didn't get along well at first (she didn't like him), but she's coming around slowly. He's double her weight (13 ish lbs) and still needs to be neutered. We like him though...even though he likes to eat the kids toys. Molly (the cat) is a little peeved with us though.



Chuck's work shift is once again moving. For this week and next week he's back to working 12am-10am and then after that his shift goes to 11am-9pm. It's bullshiz and we are both very angry about the whole situation. It's so hard to be a 'family' with a schedule like that. As a result we're hoping to be able to move back to Chicago sooner than later. He may have to work crap hours there for a while, but at least he'll be where he wants to be. The house is what's slowing us down in that department...



This past Sunday we did some pumpkin carving with the kids and some friends of ours. It was fun and they had a good time playing. They drew the faces on their pumpkins and I cut them out. SO cute!! I love them and they are so thrilled to have been a bigger part of it this year. Plus they got to play with a bunch of kids and eat pizza for dinner...what could be better news for a 4 year old?



That's all for now, enjoy the photos!
