Disneyland

This past weekend I started thinking that I miss my kids... I mean that I miss spending one on one time with just them. Our days are so crazy busy and we are always rushing to get things done. I go to school two days a week and don't get home until they are in bed asleep. The days that I am with them I feel like I am preoccupied with other things. So I started thinking that I would surprise them and pick them up from school and take them to Disneyland. My Sgt ok'd the time off and I went and surprised CJ first. The look on his face was priceless. He was so excited to see me. We then went to Justin's school to pick him up. When he saw me his face lit up and he came running to me. Those feelings I had are beyond words. I don't get to pick up my babies often and I can't even begin to express how sad that makes me... I told them they had a Dr's appointment to go too, and off we went. When we got by Disneyland CJ said "Hey the Dr's is next to Disneyland. Can we go there after?" I told them we'd have to see how they behaved... Then I turned into Disneyland Parking and they told me I was going to wrong way. I said "Well since we're turning into the parking lot we'll just blow off the Dr's and have some fun." They were really excited. I told them once we were on the tram that they really never had an appointment, Mom was just tricking them.

We went to California Adventures and went on Soarin' Over California. Justin had never been and CJ really couldn't remember what it was like. They both loved it!!

We then went and played in the Redwood Forest and had a lot of fun.

Next we headed over to the new Toy Story Shooting Gallery and I loved it! Nana & Papa and Uncle Jim & Aunt Linda happened to be there the same day and they went on that ride with us.

We then went to Disneyland and hit up Buzz Lightyear, the Monorail and Matterhorn. CJ hadn't had the courage to do that ride until now and he wanted to ride it again, but the lights were about to be turned on at It's A Small World. We went over there and again met Nana & Papa and Uncle Jim & Aunt Linda. I was hoping to head home after the lights were turned on but Papa had to tell the kids that it was going to snow, so they begged me to let them stay for that. I agreed but only after CJ promised he'd do his homework on the way home, (which he did).


We got home about 7pm and we were all pooped. We had a lot of fun and I am so grateful that I was able to spend some fun time with my special precious boys. I love them so much and love their innocence and their sweet spirits they possess.
