Goggles



Somehow these have worked their way into our dress up rotations.
I'm not really sure where they came from, but they are hilarious.
Last week they were wearing them all over the house with every outfit they could imagine.
I love that they have such a vivid imagination and they use these for play.

Fashion Tips with LibbyJ


Is it really necessary to change out of the pajamas?
You like that 80s headband?
Mind you, we have already covered her love of pink and red....
Now, we cover accessories.
Sparkly glitter headbands.
They are the latest fashion trend.
Yes, she's riding in the front seat.
We drove the babysitter home.
She lives 1/4 of a mile away.
Sue me.
I enjoyed the ride and my sidekick.

Uncle Joe


Yes.
We have socks on our hands.
Yes.
That is our neighbor/uncle, Joe.
Yes, the children had a blast.
And no, Libby doesn't have pants.
Your point?!
I think he's their new favorite person.

Helping Daddy


Yes.
The garbage can experience is a family affair.
And yes, Libby picks her own clothing and I don't argue with her.
Do I really care if she is wearing pink & red?
Probably not.

Waving at the neighbors as they drive by.
Usually the Blackstones see us in the family affair of trash collecting...

Disney on Ice

Mid October we were able to go see Disney on Ice.
It wasn't Disney World, but it was as close as we were going to get this time of year!
October is wrestling season countdown, and this was our last huge family thing before season.
Have I mentioned I have a love/hate relationship with wrestling season?
But, I digress....
Disney on Ice.
It was marvelous.
The characters were all over the place.
They spent the show running through a list of holidays and celebrations through the year.
Halloween, birthdays, Christmas, un-birthdays, and the whole she-bang.
Hayes wasn't thrilled with the whole Halloween part.
The Villains were out in full force, and I do believe they scared him a bit.
That alone confirms that he is my child.
If he was watching Harry and the Hendersons or E.T. it would be from behind the chair in our living room.
Hayes was begging for some cotton candy.
We got some to share.
I would have gotten two, except they were $10 a POP!
I wondered if Jesus came with that cotton candy... goodness!
The best part of the vendors was listening to their sales pitch as they ran around the arena.
One of them promised a 'free wet nap with each purchase'.
I die.
True to form, wet nap at the bottom of each bag! 
Hayes wasn't impressed with the cotton candy.
Elizabeth just made a sticky mess with it.
I ate the rest.
Isn't that what moms do?
My girl loves the princesses.
She knows them all by name.
It was pure joy to watch her watch the show.
I cried watching them watch.
I love their sweet faces!
We got to watch Mickey and Minnie celebrate their love story too!
Wonder what their anniversary is like?!

Disney Withdrawl

I think it is officially time that I admit that I'm possibly obsessed with Disney World.
I am so ready to travel back to Orlando and spend a week soaking up all things Disney.
I am ready to watch my children grin and giggle when the see all the Disney.
I remember so well going there when I was a child.
I think it will become a regular rotation on our vacation schedule.
Tonight I was talking to Daryk about it...
We are planning a trip September 2014.
I want to take my mother in law and have her experience that with us.
I want to go now, but I'd rather pay for baby expenses and save for Disney later.

So, planning begins.
September 2014 or whenever they offer free dining close to that...
Mickey hats and magical characters are coming for the Cochran family.
After that, I'll begin hunting for the best way to make it affordable and purchase yearly passes.
Ramen noodles anyone?

I'm ready to see these kids with Mickey & Minnie!
We will start training Spencer Brynne as soon as she arrives for her Disney journey.

Love Face, except the opposite.


Ya'll think he loves her?
I do not think this is his love face...
I think this is his 'my fingers are being mashed' or 'she messed up my picture' face.
He is such a trooper for dealing with her every day.

Diva, anyone?
She's two.  TWO.
How does one even accumulate that much diva in that tiny body!?
