{Insert Witty Blog Title Here}

My Tuesday was pretty uneventful.. Addy has Vacation Bible School this week, so she is gone in the mornings. I decided to head to Birmingham to take some stuff back to Express- like my Vegas outfit. All that stress and I didn't even wear the darn thing. Oh well. 

I picked some things up for myself...

Trixie wanted to be in the picture...

One without Trixie



  Oh yeah. I picked up this. 

Now, maybe you're saying, "Rach, why would you buy this right before Father's Day??" And that's when I would tell you this long story. This IS Philly's Fathers Day present. As seeing as it was a surprise, I was trying to hide me going and getting it. I called the Apple Store on Monday and they said they had the 16GB, white, wifi ipads in, but it didn't guarantee that they would still be there on Tuesday. I took the chance and waited until Tuesday. Jana met me over there, and I went in and asked for my iPad, only to be told that they didn't have them in anymore. They had it in black or they had a 32 GB in white. It was $100 more. I didn't mind spending the extra $$, but wasn't sure if Philly needed the 32. After some fretting and texts, I decided to make the judgement call and ruin the surprise for John (I had been planning and saving for this for MONTHS.) (P.S. let's talk about how John jerked his iPad out of my hands Monday night. B/c I picked it up to look up something when he got up...uh yeah. He almost didn't get this iPad.) 

Anyway, he told me that the 32 was actually what he needed- which he told me before he wanted the 16. So, I ended up getting him what he needed. And Now he gets to play with it. And I ruined the surprise for nothing. 

And now I get this: 
Guilt free book reading... maybe I'll start jerking the new iPad out of his hands just for fun!

The girls approve


 Side story. 

Claire went with me to Birmingham and when we got to Bed Bath and Beyond, she told me she needed to go potty. Which was cool. We go in, I pull her undies down and she's has an accident. Skid marks. So, I have to take her undies off of her and I didn't want to put those panties in the trash can. It was dry, so I stuck the panties IN. MY. PURSE. and put her shorts back on her and luckily, I had brought some extra undies and clothes in the car, so I had to wait until I got outside to put undies on her. Lesson learned- Keep clean undies in your purse for your children. 

Welcome to Motherhood!

Blasted All Over My Blog...

It was brought to my attention, that I was broadcasting my love for fictional characters and not my husband. Granted, I DO love me some Edward Cullen,but Philly's feelings were a little hurt since I was, "Blasting other guys pictures all over my blog and not his." So, Here you go, Babe, your pictures "Blasted all over my blog".

How cute is this?

And this?

Goofy boys...

I'll just Have It My Way...

It was brought to John's attention a couple of weeks ago that you cannot order a McChicken with cheese from McDonald's. So, John being John, cut in line at McDonald's to ask the girl at the register. She informed him that mostly definitely, you could not order a McChicken with cheese.

John wanted to speak to the manager. The manager tells him that there are certain sandwiches that are "as is" and they will not add anything to them. Not cheese. Not lettuce. Not tomato. John informs him that was the stupidest thing he had ever heard of( he is really a passive person and would never insult anyone like that. NOT.) The long of the short is, the manager tells him that you could order a McChicken and then order a cheese burger and take the cheese off of the cheese burger and put it on the McChicken, if you wanted to. John tells him to stuff it.

He will just go to Burger King, where he can have it his way.

Disney World 2009

*WARNING- Long post with TONS of pictures!!*
We had a BLAST at Disney, but no vacation is complete without a couple of meltdowns, but all in all, it was a great time had by all. Addy did great on both flights and we had such a blast with John's family. To say Addy loved Frances and Grace was an understatement. Addy wasn't too keen on meeting the characters at Chef Mickey. She warmed up to them later on. We met all the Princesses and she was in HEAVEN. When she first met Sleeping Beauty she started singing I Know You, I walked with you once upon a dream... and then looked at Aurora and said, "You sing that song!" She knows and loves her some Disney songs. We rode several rides, but she didn't like the indoor ones because she associated them with Snow White's Scary Adventures. She also asked Ariel where her dinglehopper was. Oh my... We watch entirely too many Princess movies. Anyway, I am looking forward to going back in November. John and I rode the new Aerosmith ride at Hollywood Studios individually and It. Was. Awesome.
