Another great, but long day. And now I'm going to sleep.

Disney World Bound!!


After months of waiting, our Disney vacation has finally arrived. I'll try to post some photos while we're here (and I have REALLY fast internet).


On the way to the airport:

Jim in the shuttle on the way to the hotel:



Did I mention that I got a seat all by myself on the airplane? Jim held Jade on his lap and sat between Hewitt and Greyden. I didn't even have to pay extra for that arrangement. :D

Soap Suds

In the soap room we lay towels down underneath our molds, so that when we pour the raw soap into the molds, any spills land on the towels. It had been quite a while since the towels were washed and they were pretty covered in soap. So when I put them in the laundry, I didn't add any laundry detergent.

It didn't matter - there was still too much soap.


It took 3 washes to get rid of all the suds. :)

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum

Mr. Sweetland had some clothes that he thought would be perfect for us. He was right. Greyden took one look at it and claimed it for his own. Fortunately there were two, so Fletcher got one also.

I was taking pictures of the two of them, and Indigo decided she needed to be in on the camera action. "Come here, my boys," she announced. And so they came.

Woe to the boy who someday sets his eye on Indigo. He's going to have to deal with "her boys." :)
