Walking up Main St, Walt Disney World

Meeting Mickey mouse

Magic Kingdom Family day out

Our first trip to magic kingdom where we were able to fold down the strollers and ride on the tram, the boys loved it, and sat quiet soaking it all in.  The parking guide told us to prepare and take the boys out of the strollers and have the strollers folded ready, we said "OK", and ignored him, The tram pulled up and we worked in a team as always, we put each of the boys in the tram, and then the strollers, thanks to the city mini strollers it was fast, we even were quicker with  them than some families were with one child and 4 adults lol.

Their hair was getting to be too long so we stopped by the barber shop on Main street to get their hair cut, it was very handy.

Anderson not too happy, but once he had something to play with he was OK

Benjamin sat still the whole time, i think he is like his mummy and likes getting his hair done

Christopher was having non of it, Rob had to hold him, so he got a quick trim

We went to line up to see the mouse, we were the first in line, and stood behind a big door, their was a knock at the door and the boys were shouting "knock knock" when the door opened  it was Mickey Mouse, they all squealed with excitement it was so funny. Mickey held their hands and led them to Minnie Mouse and the room to take photos. 

Anderson without hesitation going with Mickey, he wont go with anyone but give him a giant mouse and he was off.

I need Mickey Mouse as our nanny, the boys did everything the Mouse did

The pictures don't show the real excitement, they were giggling and loving every moment, we were not rushed as the people behind us was enjoying watching the boys. Mickey and Minnie sat down and played with them for a while, they were mesmerized. And when it was time to go they all just stood their waving.

Of course Christopher found his mickey mouse, and this was a big one, he grabbed its tail in his hand and sucked his thumb, then went on to the next one.

Waiting for the parade, eating popcorn and playing with hula hoops

Mummy and Christopher on Jungle Cruise, they loved the animals-even though they weren't real lol. After this ride we did the Tiki Room the loved that too, Benjamin's head was non stop looked all around. It made me think of Uncle Tony because when we first went to Disney he said to my dad "you must visit the Tiki Room it is great".

Notice Christopher running towards Dumbo, he loved every minute of it, remember the first time Danika went on that ride, i still have video of it.

We had a great day, stayed and watched the fireworks, we sat on the ground snuggled up, while the boys watched the sky light up, their was allot of ooos and aaahhhhs. We also met a set of triplet boys that were 8yrs old sat right in front of us.

halloween past and present

First Halloween

Our first Halloween in the NICU, this was the first time we dressed the boys, and saw them with clothes on, it was very exciting for us.The clothes were preemie but still too big. This is Benjamin, our little worm i used to call him.



Christopher with his Halloween attire. He was finally starting to look better, without so many monitors.

Auntie Nicole helping to dress the boys for the first time.

Grandma also helping to dress the boys

Anderson wasn't well during the night so we were not allowed to dress him, so we draped the clothing over him.

Second Halloween season

Our first pumpkin patch. Sheila, Alan (nan and grandad) helped me to take the boys to the pumpkin festival. One of our first trips out, I really enjoyed getting out and about. The place was great fun, although when we got home my memories of Sheila and I sat on the edge of the bath washing our feet sticks with me, Our sandals, legs and feet were black from all the dust and dirt. We had to drag the prams though the sand and dirt, but it was worth it.

Rob and I trick or treating with the boys in Disney, they were asleep within an hour of us getting in the park, but we got great pictures and memories and we enjoyed ourselves.

This year:

Our three smurfs, we made Anderson Papa Smurf as he is the oldest but he would not wear his beard, imagine that lol.

The boys had their two year check up at the pediatricians office, the Doctor wanted to see them in their Halloween outfits and have a Halloween party with her and the nurses.

Outside our home, trying to put up the decorations was not easy this year as the boys were re arranging continuously.

Benjamin showing everyone the moon

The first house, they had no problems holding out their buckets for candy. They stood waiting for more each time

Trick or Treating at Mirna's house. They knew exactly where to go.

Denali and Briana leading the way

Enjoying the decorations, sights and sounds. One house had music and dry ice with flashing lights, Benjamin was scarred and opted to stay away from that house

Sat on the driveway handing out candy to everyone, the boys loved watching other kids coming and trick or treating

Christopher was eating every bit of candy that he could find, even the wrapper if it wasn't unwrapped quick enough. Check out the front of his costume, full of dribble from is lollipop

The boys lasted until 9pm then crashed. I took them inside for a quick wash down, PJ's and Milk, Christopher threw up twice all the sweet stuff that he had consumed, then the slept until 8am. Benjamin was up at 0630am. They all had diarrhea throughout the next day and spent the whole day taking off their nappies, and leaving trails around the house. Even at nap time they were giggling, when i went into the room, they had taken off their nappies and thrown them out of their cots, poop everywhere, i didn't know where to start, they laughed and laughed and i wanted to cry and cry!!!!! No sweets for along time for these boys!!!
