What's up this Week

Hello Again everyone!

Second post this month.  I'm making good on my promise to try to post things a little more often.  

This week, Blake has been working-a lot.  It's been a busy week as the International Food and Wine Festival wraps up.  It is a huge crowd pleaser and it is apparently the attraction of the year at Epcot.  Well, that and the Flower Festival in March.  My honey bunches actually will be working an all nighter on Saturday which will be really tough.  I'm so grateful that my sweetheart works so hard to provide for Alex and I.  And I'm really glad that he gives me the option of staying home with Alex.  It's not easy, and we struggle financially sometimes, but I know that we are being blessed for my choosing to be with my son.  

I have pretty much wrapped up Thanksgiving prep.  I bought my turkey-a lovely 11 lb bird.  Can't wait to cook it for my two boys and share everything that I am grateful for with them.  I am planning on reading some Thanksgiving books with Alex and we have been talking about what we're grateful for.  Gratitude is something I really want him to learn and its something that people all over fail to remember.  Its so easy to take things for granted in our fast paced society.
In other news, I finished sewing together a turkey-he's sooo cute!!

The photo is posted on my Facebook profile for anyone that wants to check him out.  Other than that, not much going on.  I will heading to Maryland with our friend Sasha for a couple of days.  She has a few doctors appointments and she doesn't want to make the sixteen hour drive all by herself-which I can't blame her.  So Alex and I will be her travel buddies.  Blake is picking up a bunch of shifts during that time, so he thinks that its great so that I won't entirely be by myself watching him sleep and come in and out the door between shifts lol.  He's so cute-wanting to be sure that I'm not all lonely and stuff.  I love that man!

As for pictures this week, here are a few photos of the new Fantasyland preview that we cast members got to attend.  The official opening weekend will be the first weekend in December and its going to be amazing!

Welcome to the new Fantasyland!

My dream come true!  Belle is my all time favorite princess!

The interior of the Be our Guest Restaurant. 

The gorgeous ceiling replicated to perfection.

Loving the new addition.  I told Blake this would be a great place to take us for our anniversary-hint, hint lol!

Belle's cottage!

On our way to do Enchanted Tales with Belle, the brand new interactive attraction.

The magic mirror leading to the castle.  This opened a portal to the Beast's castle! SO COOL!

He got to be a pepper shaker in the storytelling.

Miss Wardrobe is handing out the parts and making sure that everyone knows what to do.

Belle telling the story of how she met Beast. 

Gaston's Tavern.

Interior-just like the movie!

Ariel's castle which houses the new ride Journey Under the Sea with the Little Mermaid.

Blake living his dream.  Ariel's story was always his favorite as a boy!

The outside of Beast's castle sitting atop the Be our Guest restaurant.

Another exterior of the Mermaid ride.

We got to meet Ariel in Ariel's Grotto.  Great family photo.

Outside the castle.  Had a wonderful time!

My prince!  Sword in the Stone.  TeeHee!

WE are absolutely having a blast and loving life.  Can't wait to have a wonderful holiday season with my two boys-the two people who mean the most to me.  I will catch you all when I get back from my trip.  Love ya!

Til next week!
