This is Gage, my nephew.  He will not be found without a weapon.  Whatever is his latest love becomes his weapon of choice.  For example, for a long time he loved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and he carried his bow and other TMNT weapons around.  The best part is how creative he gets with his holster…  Today, he showed up with a “pirate sword” in his back, through his t-shirt, tucked in his shorts.  Then in his hand he still carried his favorite TMNT weapon-I am still not sure what it is but it looks like a plastic stick.  I decided THIS had to be my picture of the day!

So, see his belt around his body, holstering his plastic stick looking weapon, notice the brown boots and the sword in his back.  Totally a pirate, wouldn’t you say?

We have been taking care of Paisley this week.  She is such a pleasure to have around-always smiling and saying , “tink you,” for everything I give to her.  She is a special little girl and there were moments when I was willing to trade 2 for 1 (my 2 for 1 of her).  She is adorable…  don’t you completely agree!!!  Too bad we have to let her go home today.  Maybe TJ will take my 2 and leave her here???  : )

last week we made a visit to Disneyland, trying to put our annual passes to the very best use.  We left on a Sunday afternoon and did Disneyland for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.  Well, it didn’t stop raining practically the whole time we were there.  It made for a very wet and cold vacation BUT there were some perks to that… nobody was there.  We went straight to the front and on the ride most of the time.  By 2:00pm we were soaked and cold and ready to call it a day.  The kids did much better than I thought they would.

I only pulled my camera out on the first day and then realized it was a lot to carry around if I wasn’t going to be using it so I left it buried and hidden in my suitcase at the hotel.  There was so much rain on Mainstreet (mid calf) that the ducks were floating down Main Street, USA.  That was a funny sight!  We made a visit to Wal-Mart trying to find rain suits-NOT JUST A PONCHO but apparently all of CA wanted the same thing because Wal-Mart and Target were out.  We bought rain boots for the kids and those too were out at most stores.  Needless to say, Disneyland made a killing on ponchos.  I asked one of the workers if Disneyland made enough money that day with the sales.  He told me that basically the price of the poncho covers storage since they make so many and have to store them somewhere.  WHAT?  Oh well, lines or rain-which one do you want?
