What's Up Wednesday!

Hey, y’all!!  Today, I am linking up with ShaySheaffer, and Mel for their super FUN link-up: What’s up Wednesdays!
wednesday1
Well...I guess this is as good as any day to return to the blog world!  It's been a while...ok, months!...but with my big career change (hello, stay-at-home mom life!) I'm hoping to have more time to document this life we have been given.
1.  What we're eating...
Everything at home!
After vacationing last week and eating out more than usual, it feels good to be home and cooking the simple foods we enjoy.  Tonight we are enjoying some bacon wrapped filet...since it's my special day (happy birthday to me!)

Vacation!

2. What I'm reminiscing about...

This video is still one of my all-time favs!  Sassy was so disappointed to be having a brother!


3.  What I'm loving...

Drape Front Cardigan (Nordstrom Exclusive)
THIS sweater!  It's like heaven...in a cardigan...oh...my...gosh!

4.  What we've been up to...

We spent the past week visiting with family...


taking day trips to favorite places...

and spending some quality time with this guy in a not-so-fun place  
(this will need a post all it's own!)!!


5.  What I'm dreading...

THE HEAT!!!  Enough said!

6.  What I'm working on...

Maintaining my sanity at home with 4 kids!  That's about all I have time for!

7.  What I'm excited about...

Our beach vacation is about a month away!
A house right on the beach in New Jersey during the amazing month of September!
This is the first year ever that I have not had school to start during that month and we decided to celebrate it right.  SOOOO excited!

8.  What I'm watching/reading...

I read like crazy in the beginning of the month but have given that up in favor of some good old binge watching!

Daddy and I finished...

and started...

Never in a million years did I think I'd like such a show...but we love it!

And while I'm doing chores around the house, this has been playing on the iPad...

Amazing!

9.  What I'm listening to...

Image result for third day
A favorite in our house!

10.  What I'm wearing...

PJs and sundresses!  
Summer, everyone!

11.  What I'm doing this weekend...
If all goes as planned...
Because when you live near the beach...you go!

12.  What I'm looking forward to next month...

First...beach vacation!  I'm ready to "go down the shore"!
Second...sending 3 kiddos off to school and getting to stay at home with my baby!

13.  What else is new...

Did I mention it's my birthday?  The last one before the big 4-0...so I'm just enjoying being young another year!

The Reveal Video!

 
Can't figure out how to turn it...but want to preserve the memory!

Disney Day #3...Epcot!

We headed to Epcot on Day #3.
This is one of our favorite parks and the kids enjoyed it as much as we expected :)

Our first stop was Test Track and Sassy waited with me and Bubba while the others rode.
She entertained herself well!


Then Sassy and I rode...she designed a car that captures her personality!
 
Love this text that Daddy and I had...thinking I designed it!!!  Lol!

Another favorite...Bubba LOVED the birds saying "mine, mine, mine!"

Cousin pile!
 
Then it was time to meet Mickey and Minnie!
We brought these encyclopedia books along for autographs and they were great.  Each character signed on their own picture and we'll have the books to treasure and add to when we visit again.


Bubba wasn't so sure about the characters :)





 
One of my favorite pictures from the trip :)
 
Then we headed to dinner in Norway with the princesses.  I'm pretty sure this was the highlight of trip for Sassy and I know the princesses fell in love with Bubba!


Watching the princesses work the room.


Oh, the smile on Sassy's face!




Ariel Flirting with Bubba!

Still flirting!



 
The exhaustion was settling in by the end of day 3...so much so that Bruiser walked to the back of the shuttle and promptly fell asleep, leaning on a strangers shoulder.  The panic that followed when we arrived at our stop and could find him was like nothing I've ever felt...but he never even realized he was missing when we found him :).
 
We were thankful that the next day included a slow day at Animal Kingdom and some time by the pool!
