Back from Disney!

We braved the tropics and headed to Orlando last week. We spent FIVE days in Orlando, so the boys got to do everything. They went without naps some days, took naps at 5 PM on some days and didn't get to bed until after midnight on two nights. All in all, they handled it pretty well, but we paid dearly for it for a day or two after the trip. Aidan is still cranky (and whiny), but he has slept in for several days in a row, so we're hoping the attitude is on its way out.

While in Orlando, we got to meet up with our friends Dan & Angela and their kids. Aidan got to see his best friend that he hasn't seen in almost a year, and it was CHAOTIC at first but eventually calmed down. The kids had a blast together, running around and riding the roller coasters together. I was shocked (and a little terrified) to discover that Aidan was tall enough to ride Thunder Mountain & Splash Mountain (with its 5 story drop). Aidan LOVED them, though, so I put my worries to the side. We even snuck Austin on the baby coaster at Magic Kingdom that was just a 1/2" too short for. Jared had to ride all the coasters with the kids because "expectant mothers" were not allowed. The heat + walking + being pregnant = cranky, tired Denise. I think Jared will never vacation with me again while I'm pregnant. :-)

On Thursday, my doctor is going to take a look at our bun in the oven to see if the baby has, as he puts it, "indoor or outdoor" plumbing. I will definitely let everyone know as soon as we find out - except Angela - I know how much you love surprises. ;-)
