We're back!!

Took a small blogging break so we could go to...

DISNEYLAND!

Oh, yes, we did! 4 kids, 4 and under (my niece was with us, too). We were quite the crew with our three strollers (one being my large double stroller).

And we survived to tell about it. Jesse almost didn't make it though. :) Poor guy, he got sick the day before we left for California and had a fever and nasty cough for the amusement portion of our trip. I felt so sorry for him and finally took him to an urgent care to get him some antibiotics. Another sinus infection. This child gets them often and they are always really bad. Any advice on prevention?? (Other than the standard humidifier, lots of water, eat healthy, saline nose drops, blah blah, blah...I already know all that--it doesn't really help him).

Anyway, we were tired. Think one hotel room + Jesse coughing all night long = bad combo.

But, my parents were very kind and took Brody in their room so at least I didn't have to get up with him too. I actually got 3 pretty decent nights of sleep--my first in 9 months!!

I'll post lots of pictures soon. Still a bit in recovery mode with a busy week ahead.

And until our youngest child is 5, I'm re-naming vacations to instead be called "Change of scenery" trips. Because, let's be honest. It's not your typical idea of vacation with three small children. It's just a busy life made even harder by being somewhere other than home with all of our "kid" things. But, it sure is fun to do something different for awhile!! Lots of great memories :)
