MUCH needed.

In exactly 23 hours the kids and I will be on a flight from Buffalo to Vegas. For two whole weeks! Ahhh...the sound of that is music (and sanity) to my ears! Or should I say insane? It's always a little crazy with just me and the kids flying home. I get the usual stares...like 'ALL of these are yours' kind of stares, can't wait for them to see my pregnant belly carrying another one this time! I'm counting on lots of sympathy help for car seat carrying + luggage hauling. Good thing it's a straight flight, none of that connection stuff, although it's usually nice to stretch the legs (or my back in my 7 months uncomfortableness case). However we get there, I'll just be happy to be in NO SNOW and 60+ degree weather! Bryan has a whole week off so I'll be picking him up at LAX on Valentines because part of this trip (if it could get any better) will be spent in San Diego visiting the zoo, Disneyland + Laguna Beach. Brooke, my sis, will be there too with her 4 little chicks!

So in the true Disney spirit I made 6 of these hairclips:

{back}

And for 9 darling grandchildren, I made these, 6 with bows for the girls, 3 without for the boys. My sister is bringing glow sticks for the night time fire works, my mom has gathered black notebooks for the autographing. Half the fun is planning, right?!
I've also been cranking out these darling bibs for the bun in the oven. I'm 99% sure on his name, just need to get Bryan on board, he's just about at the agreement point of the process. Brody was a hard one to sell too and look, it's 2008 fastest growing most popular name and I still LOVE it!  Can't get a middle name to stick for this guy. Family name? I need to do more research. Something original that just sounds good with the first? Can't decide. 
I will return with pictures + stories

...and hopefully a slight tan

and I wouldn't object to a slight bounce in my step either.
