Everyday.
Everyday, the kids “play” Disney World. Everyday, they shout out, “Mama! Mama! I found a hidden Mickey!” Yesterday, Evan found one on his bedspread…which is a quilt…a plain blue, non-Disney quilt with white circle stitching. Of course, it doesn’t help that we got new iphones (was going to post on that alone but thought it was just…wrong), and Mark has a Disney app that tells you how long the current wait times are. I confess that we have been known to sit at the dinner table and have contests with who can guess the correct wait time. I usually win (it helps that Drew guesses completely odd numbers like 150,000 minutes). With Lydia’s birthday on Thursday, I took the older kids shopping Saturday to buy her some gifts just from them. They insisted on the Disney Store, of course.
I didn’t pull my camera out this Sunday for any snapshots. But, I did find these three pieces all created this Sunday. They definitely serve as snapshots in and of themselves of how my children are currently spending their free time.
I asked Evan, “When are you guys going to stop talking about Disney World everyday?” He answered, “Never! I’m going to talk about it until I die and then when I go to heaven, I’ll talk about it with God.” My first thought was that God wasn’t going to be so interested in that conversation. But, then I thought about Evan and how much joy it must bring to His maker when he simply enjoys the world around him. That might be an interesting conversation.
Those are super adorable!

Too cute, for sure! I love when kids express themselves in writing like this – it’s so sweet and innocent! Great memories that will last them a lifetime, I’m sure.
I love Mickey Mouse, but I’m thinking we are dead-beat fans compared to your house. Playing guess the wait-time? That is hilarious.
What a hoot! I love how much you love Disney — coming from someone who has never been and has never even thought of playing the wait-time game. Ashlyn’s writing — hilarious. You go girl!
