Fairyland Fun

So a few months ago I bought a living social ticket to Fairyland.  I had heard great things about it from friends but had never been.  It was such a great deal that I bought 2!  I thought the timing was great so we could go as a family and then kinda forgot about them until the week before they expired.  We had to use them up so we made daddy go to work late one Saturday and then brought some of our best buddies the following week.  It was a blast!

If you haven't been you totally should!  It is perfect for preschool age kids.

Fairyland with Daddy

You get to go through the "little old lady's" shoe to enter.

The 3 little Pigs

Random other tales and fun.

Em loved this wall of Nursery Rhymes.  We went along the whole wall and looked at each picture and recited each rhyme.

Silly chairs with daddy

Riding the train.

This was one of P's favorite things the Alice in Wonderland, tunnel & maze.

Jack & Jill's hill was another favorite spot.  
Daddy even loved it!

Although we didn't take any pictures, we attended the puppet show.  The kids really liked it.  It was short and silly, right up their ally.  I'm thinking they are going to be much more excited to play with their puppets now.

There was this awesome Pirate Ship.
P climbed it.
P was bombarded with many many other kids.
P could not get down.
He stayed up there at least 15 mins.
Finally once most of the kids moved on I talked him down.
He was so scared but when he got to the bottom all by himself he was so proud!

P loved the Dragon Slide.
Em loved "reading" all the signs.  It made me laugh so hard the things she said it said.


Our day ended Happily Ever After, just as all the best adventures do.

We headed out to the grass and enjoyed a picnic before we had to drop daddy off at BART.  


The kids LOVED running around with daddy.


Fairyland with Buddies

Then entire week before we brought our friends with us the kids talked about it EVERYDAY.  They were so excited to go with them and show them all of their favorite things.  It was much busier the second time we went, but we still made the most of it.  Since it hadn't been long since we were there P was a little too comfortable with the place and literally just took off running to see whatever he wanted since he knew right where it was.  BAH!  Talk about stressful.  Needless to say we had MANY chats and lots of hand holding. 

This time the kids really enjoyed going on the rides together.

The Jolly Train

H & P were the only ones willing to do the Farris wheel, but they LOVED it!
I was so proud of how brave they were to go without any grown-ups.

We made a new discovery and P enjoyed being the wicked witch.



We ended the day with a Picnic.


Both trips were so much fun.  The kids have been asking to go back since we left.  Randomly they will think about it and ask me, "Do you remember Fairyland?"  I'm amazed at how much they learn from every little outing we go one.  These kiddos really are sponges.  So glad we have so many little places like this to go explore together.  Life is so good!  :)

What to pack . . .

So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

Have you noticed?

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
