[Nov 15] Birthday Hanukkah comes to a Close

We celebrated my actual Birthday at Disneyland. It was great because I got to do what I like to do at Disneyland instead of being vetoed by the boys like normal.

Waiting in line for MY favorite ride: Alice

Apparently not Choob's favorite ride of the day.

Mr. Scrooge smiles!

Birthday Girl doesn't.

Not sure why I pulled this face because I was super excited to get this coat for FREE! Yup. You get a gift card on your birthday and I spent her on this beauty.

Eating MY favorite Disneyland treat.

Waiting to watch the parade.

A rarity since the boys do not like to go to Disneyland to watch singing and dancing. Good thing The Choob was asleep.

Same Ride, Two Years ApartWatching the light show at Small World

Notice the cape and cane. He was Scrooge ALL DAY. Told ya.

Ended the night with a Winter castle.

What a WONDERFUL day with my boys.

[Nov 15] Mr. Scrooge in Action

Don't worry, he kept up this charade ALL DAY LONG. No joke.

When he is "Mr. Scrooge" he IS "Mr. Scrooge"!

ALL DAY

Even at Disneyland.

While it was a little more difficult navigating through the crowds, I wouldn't trade him for the world. What a funny little guy!

[Nov 15] There goes Mr. Humbug, There goes Mr. Grimm

Choobie has been obsessed with Scrooge ever since watching the Muppet Christmas Carol. Ebineezar is a villain after all and for some reason my son finds the "bad guys" endearing.

Everyday he asks to put on his "Scrooge cape" and carry's around his "Scrooge cane" (a lightsaber from Chuck E. Cheese) and shouts "humbug!" to EVERYONE he meets.

Let's just say going to Disneyland with Mr. Scrooge was an experience. Here he is in full character with cape and cane on our way into the park:Kind of ironic that we were at The Happiest Place on Earth and my child spent the day walking hunched over with a scowl on his face and shouting "Humbug" to everyone. It was thoroughly entertaining. I love his vivid imagination and creativity. Way to keep us laughing Choobers!

[Nov 11] Birthday Hanukkah Continues With...

My mom took me to see Lord of the Dance and it was AMAZING! We had seats on the balcony so we had a great view of all the different formations they made on stage. I was in heaven. These dancers are so talented and spot on every second. It made me want to get up on stage and clog. Look out everybody. Thanks for the fun night mom!

[Nov 13] A Visit from the Boys

The boys came to visit me at work. Choob loves to play with this gorilla statue.

Can you find Waldo?

This is Choobie's favorite shirt. He calls it, "brown snuggly". He HATES to take it off. Even if it is like 95 degrees out. According to him, he likes it because "the sleeves are skinny, not puffy." Whatever dude.

This was supposed to be a picture of a Red Tailed Hawk picking up a screeching bunny but I don't see it. Dan was "all flustered" when he whipped out the camera.

Apparently the boys were watching the hawk in a nearby tree and then out of nowhere she swooped down and attempted to snatch up the bunny.

It had trouble flying away because the bunny was so big. The hawk refused to let go despite the spastic attempts from the struggling and shrieking rabbit. Unable to lift off, the hawk just sat on the writhing rabbit until it died.

At which point Dan decided he and his emotionally scarred three year old son should "move along". After the rabbit was dead. How about moving along when Choob kept asking why the bunny was crying? Sad.

Hard at work.

I Love it when they come visit me!
