Disneyland - Barnes Style

we have been neglecting our boys...we as in bryan and i...our boys as in bryson and bodie...bobby just wants to be nursed and held...so he is taken care of in that arena...but these boys...they don't understand that we procrastinated on our taxes and that they are due this week now...they don't understand that i have had to crank out a ton of zoodie orders...they just want our ATTENTION!!! and if they dont get it in a positive way...well...lets just understatedly say that they will settle for a negative reaction.

so we had been planning this little trip all week. and even though we "planned" it...the actual follow-through was ill planned. we left at a horrible time...i.e...bodie's nap time...which he didnt...which was not good for standing in lines with a cranky almost-two-year old. plus it was crowded since it was technically a holiday weekend (columbus day...what is that about anyway?) so we ended up only going on one ride...pirates of the Caribbean...which bodie hated, bryson loved and bobby slept. bryson took the older boys on the caterpillar ride at california-land...which is fun...but short...and always a silly wait...

but...we were together...we had fun...we were all worn out at the end...and i, for one, was thankful i had an extra hand around to help "herd" the boys...that is how i feel these days...like a sheep-herder...bodie is at that age where a stroller=no fun and following me is also no fun...and carrying him is not an option since i am carrying a bobby...plus he weighs close to 30 pounds...so that means that any walk...or any place we go takes 5x as long since i have to pause every 3.5 seconds and call out his name and/or grab him by the arm while he goes limp...fun times! i was talking about something else though....oh yes, disneyland....so the best part is that california-land serves alcohol...so at the end of it all we got the boys burritos (their fave) and we each had a beer (my fave) and all were happy. the end.
