Seamus and Mike are going to Disneyland

I encouraged this, actually…Mike and Seamus are going to go to Disneyland the weekend of Seamus’ birthday.  There’s a thing going on that weekend called Westfest…Mike wanted to go, especially since we’re not going to Florida this year, and also since there is no Mousefest in Florida this year (it’s funny…Westfest is on Seamus’ birthday, and Mousefest is on Ciara’s birthday.  In fact, Mike couldn’t go to Mousefest in 2006, because Ciara was born during it).  Anyway, they’re podcasting festivals, and I have really no interest in going, and even less interest in Mike going to these events and I walk around with both kids…so I encouraged Mike to take Seamus to Disneyland.  Seamus can get in for free on May 2, because it is his birthday!!  Mike has an Annual Pass to Disneyland (and so do I)…so why not?  

 

I’m sure Ciara and I can find something to do without the guys.  There’s the Children’s Museum, the Science Center, the Arizona Museum for Youth down in Mesa, the Botanical Garden, the zoo (which I’m not crazy about going to)…just a lot of stuff that we can find to do.  She’d probably just like going to the mall to play in their play area, too.  I like that one too…keep one eye on her, and whip out the Kindle. (if you don’t know what a Kindle is, just go to Amazon and look for info on it).  Maybe I’ll try to find Tammy Coe’s bakery…they make specialty cupcakes…something that Ciara would REALLY like!

 

This doesn’t affect our vacation…we are still coming up for vacation.  Everyone can relax now.

 

Oh, this morning, Seamus locked my keys in the car at the daycare.  I put them in the cupholder…got him out, got her out, and then I was getting the jackets out of the passenger side, and the keys, and it was locked.  I went to the driver’s side, and it was locked.  I wasn’t too happy about that, although I got to spend quite a bit of time with Ciara in her classroom.  I went to Seamus’ too, but after about 5 minutes, he kicked me out.  Went to the door, opened it, and say ‘Bye, Mommy’.  So…I went back to Ciara’s classroom.  She loved having me there!  Seamus was saying he had a stomachache, but he didn’t have one when we left the house.  I think he knows I was pretty upset at the keys being locked in the car, and he knows that it was his locking the doors without permission that did it.  So, I left a message on Mike’s voicemail to come and rescue me, which he did, but he didn’t get the message for a while (which I knew he wouldn’t, since he was getting ready to go to work himself).  Oh well. 

 

Seamus was really very helpful last night…Mike got home late, and Seamus helped me unload the dishwasher, he compromised with Ciara on what they were watching while I started getting dinner ready…he did some other stuff too that was very helpful.  Ciara ‘helped’ unload the dishwasher, but he really did a lot…even pointed out when Ciara had gotten a breakable item out of the dishwasher, so I could grab it.  He does lock the car doors when we’re out someplace, but I tell him to do that…he must have thought that since we were all out of the car, it was OK to lock the doors…he didn’t know that I was getting more stuff out of the car, and that I hadn’t put the keys in my pocket yet.
