So what does my little family do when daddy has a couple days off?
Why, take a mini vacation to Disneyland of course!
Tuesday was super quiet in my office, and hubs had the day off so we decided to get Leif from daycare and go down to Disneyland for a day or two! We weren't sure about hubs' schedule for Wednesday, so we packed up in hopes that he didn't have to work the next day and stay down in Anaheim for another Disney day.
Traffic was terrible getting there, but we found out hubs didn't have to work. So we arrived at our hotel and Leif had a blast! Here's a fun video of him discovering the hotel Mickey Mouse (his hair is crazy because he had just woken up from a car nap, and don't mind my high-pitched voice):
Leif is such a trooper! He lasted all night at Disneyland-we enjoyed the new parade in random places-we didn't get a spot reserved, so we kept getting shuffled by the Disney employees, but we still were able to watch most of it! Then we waited for 25 minutes for fireworks; but due to "high elevation and wind", they were canceled. Boo. Then we rode Pirates, and then watched Fantasmic-at 10:45pm. I felt cruel keeping him up that late, but he really enjoyed the show. He was on top of Hubs' shoulders, and he said he heard Leif say a serious "uh oh" when the dragon came out. What a good boy!

We didn't get back to the hotel until 12:30am, and Leif had passed out on our way back to the car and we were able to get him in bed without waking him up. We fell asleep around 1am, but of course Leif sprung awake at 6am, his normal waking hour. Thankfully I coaxed him back to sleep (after he made a quick jaunt around the hotel room), but we didn't wake up until 10am! We rushed to get ready and didn't make it to the park until noon.

| First stop: Disney Jr. Live! He had a fun time seeing Mickey, Doc and the rest of the Disney Jr. cartoons. |
We managed to stay until around 7:30pm, and by then I wasn't feeling all that great so we headed home. What a fun mini vacay!
This is out of order, but on Monday we had some music on while waiting to meet a potential babysitter-we wanted to find a babysitter to come to our house for occasional date night instead of having to take him to daycare that's out of the way. After meeting her and really liking her (we booked her for next weekend!), Leif had a dance party!
AND here's another video of Leif in the car from Sunday...
I know, cuteness overload. Here's my last video-this was taken yesterday, after he saw his daddy put the drum on his head...
Okay, done with the videos!
Having a mini vacation in the middle of the week throws off my sense of time...I can't believe it's Friday already! I think we'll be having a nice, relaxing weekend. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!!
