I know it's been awhile since I've written here, but it's been awhile since I've been able to sit down and think about everything that has gone on!
As said previously, the gang did go to Disney World and they DID have a wonderful time. Oh the stories....hehehe....I feel like I was actually with them, especially when they go into detail about each and every ride....grandma doesn't do rides very well LOL....and I could feel my stomach lurching just hearing about them. Especially the one where they came out of their seats, in the dark LOL!
Very first airplane rides for all three of them!!
They have beautiful pictures to remind them of such a special trip with Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Pluto and of course we can't forget the princess Belle :) Oh, oh, and we can't forget the Bippity Bop hair salon where both girls had their hair done in the same way their favorite princesses wear theirs. Hannah was Cinderella, with the beautiful blue dress and tight bun on her head to prove it, and Hailee was Belle, with her gorgeous hairdo and yellow dress. Such special memories.
LOL....nice hats guys!!
Daddy has the same hat on that he had when he was
ten years old at Disney!
The Friday they came home we were going to go over for a visit, but they decided to come here instead. You just have to see the cute Minnie Mouse summer hat they bought for me! I love it. And since I can't be in the sun without a hat, it's perfect!! The Tinkerbell nightie is sooooo special and will be saved for when they come for sleepovers :)The following day they were here bright and early for a sleepover....yipeeeeee! They sure can keep us busy just playing in the yard.....mudpies, cabins, swinging, the playground, not to mention "grandma, we need another cage for our animals" LOL! Yes, they were setting up an "animal rescue" in their cabin in the bushes, using my animals from around the yard....birds, rabbits, raccoons, turtles, frogs....they captured them all, and they are all still caged, waiting for the next visit :)
And we can't forget the "plays" the 3 of them put on for grandpa and I....hehehe! We had sweatshirts and jackets on to keep warm that Saturday afternoon, and the girls were in little fairy dresses....and they came back into the house to change twice LOL! Cade was the "cow"....yes, it's the only costume he wanted to keep on and would go around the yard talking about "the cow" in the third person. "The cow is walking"...."the cow is standing"....etc etc LOL! We had tears we were laughing so hard!
Sunday morning we were up nice and early. We had pancakes for supper last night so I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry, or mess, before mom, Hannah and I left for Toronto. Hannah had two appointments that week at Sick Kids...Monday and Tuesday.
She was very excited about playing in the hotel pool, but we were all disappointed when we arrived at the hotel and the desk clerk told us the kid's pool closes at 8:00. Hmmmm....it was almost ten to eight....could we hurry up and run down to the pool for a quick dip? Surely they wouldn't kick us out with just a few minutes left, would they?
We entered our room and quickly threw the luggage/bags anywhere we could and quickly went through our luggage to find our bathing suits....quick, quick, quick Hannah. Let's get down to that pool.
Out of breath, we arrived at the door to enter the pool area and there on the door were the times....it closed at 9:00 p.m. I felt like going up to the lobby in my bathing suit to let the desk clerk know she was wrong....ugh!
"Are you coming grandma?"
We were soooo happy with her first appointment. She is doing great and doesn't need to see that surgeon for a year now....yipeeeee! Great job Hannah :) She is such a big girl now when they do an ultra sound on her. It used to take 3 people to hold her down and she would still be crying and manage to roll over on the table.
And guess who was also at Sick Kids?? Hey, why aren't you at Disney World?
Once we were tired of the pool we showered and got dressed for supper in the hotel restaurant. We were too tired to go anywhere else, and little Hannah was already yawning :) She wasn't even very hungry, but still managed to eat half of my ceasar salad...hehehe!
We had told her we would get a movie in our room and then go back down for a swim. Honestly, we had every intention of going back to the pool....but Hannah had different plans. She and I curled up in my bed to watch the movie and she fell sound asleep within minutes of it starting LOL! The little stinker slept all through the night. She must have been catching up with the sleep she lost while at Disney....hehehe!
Wouldn't you know it....the next day she reminded mom and I that "we didn't go swimming two times yesterday"! I tried to explain that she fell sound asleep, but she would hear nothing of it LOL! So next year we will definitely have to make sure we swim twice on at least one day at the hotel :)
Her second appointment on Tuesday had great results just as her first appointment did, with even better news....she can go two years without coming back to see that specialist....double yipeeeeeeee!!!!
We headed home happy, and tired. I went to bed quite early as the next morning grandpa and I were heading back down to Toronto for a conference he was attending. All I can say about those 4 days is that I slept....a lot....LOL! Even had afternoon naps. It felt sooooo good :)
Until our next visit!
Grandma loves you
