Way Back When-esday

Dateline: September 12, 2011

Age: 3

How perfect that I took this photo exactly a year ago? Aaron is obsessed with Belle, like he LOVES her. We happened to find while hanging out at EPCOT and she didn't have a line, so he got to have his time with his lady love. I love this photo and how excited he and Belle are with each other.

Play along with Cheryl at Twinfatuation!

The Rule of 3

Yesterday we took the kiddos to Magic Kingdom with every expectation of finally meeting Rapunzel. That sooooooo did not happen. We need meet a bunch of other princesses though, and I think that made up for it. First we met Cinderella:


Then we met Aaron's girlfriend, Belle. He even let her play with (and hold) his tram. She should feel very lucky because he doesn't even let me play with the tram.


We also met Aurora and Ariel with Prince Eric. Aaron did not want to meet Ariel and Eric, he spent his time hiding behind Scott.


Finally, we met Tiana. Hands down she was the kids favorite and the only one Jill wasn't too "shy" to meet.


That was the awesome part of our day. The not so awesome part was that the day before my Explorer bit the dust and wouldn't start. We had it towed and they were running diagnostics on it. We got the call while in line to meet Tiana that the engine, essentially, was gone. Awesome, right? The silver lining is that it happened while we were all at home and not out somewhere. Obviously it sucks that we are down a car, especially when we were so close to having it paid off. We are trying to figure out what to do at this point. To top it off my coffee pot died that morning too, so I'm hoping that both of those happening completes the rule of 3 and that we are done with things breaking.

Now we're going to try and make the most of this weekend and hope to God that nothing else breaks, or overflows.

Finally, the Belle Post

So like I said before, today's post was originally going to be about our trip to Epcot yesterday. Now we can finally get to that post.

Yesterday the kids and I went to Epcot since the parks are pretty much empty now. The kids have been asking to go on the boat ride in Mexico for a few days now, so I figured this would be the best time to go. We were able to walk right on that, Nemo and Spaceship Earth. We also got to meet Belle. Jill was all gung ho and as you can see in the photo that changed.


Aaron on the other hand was quite taken with Belle. At first he hid behind me and then when she got down on his level he was all cheese. Belle asked what his name was and he said "I'm 3!" When I told him she asked what his name was he came back to reality and said, "Oh! I Aaron!" go ahead and insert super goober laugh and smile here.

Thank you to Belle for making Aaron's day. When we got home we watched Beauty and the Beast so we could "relive" the moment or something like that.
