The Rhine Family: A Magical and Tiring Day!

We had a pretty fun day at Disney with Lauren and George and the kids. We left around 8 and didn't get back until 9. It was a long day, especially since Rachel decided not fall asleep around 8pm. The afternoon got pretty rough with her behavior and my hunger. However, we redeemed ourselves and had a great dinner at Tony's (something to do with Lady and the Tramp). It was a really good restaurant and the kids meal gave them so much food for around $8. I could have totally eaten it too and been happy. Instead, I stuffed myself on their delicious rolls and olive oil, salad, and fried zucchini sticks. I ate way too much, but that is what happens when you are starving going into a restaurant. We got to ride a lot without too long of a wait thanks to the fast passes. I think we have done most everything Rachel can do, so when we go back in March with Matt's Mom and some family, I am hoping to take it pretty easy and go at a slower pace. Matt already informed me that he had no plans to stay that late again. I would be okay with that.

I finally finished Rachel's bean bag chair. It turned out really cute and I love the fabric that I picked. I made a lot of mistakes along the way and had to fix them. That made it take a few hours longer than necessary. However, I feel that if I ever made one again, it would go very smoothly from the start. It turned out a lot bigger than anticipated, more like a lounger. I figured that was okay since Rachel, Hannah, and Kate could share it. It was a little pricier than just buying a new one, but at least I can continue to refill this one when it starts sagging. I have a little bit of material left and I might make a tote bag from it. That would require Mom's help and she has been out of town the last few weeks.

School is good, Matt's work is good, rentals are good. Rachel had her neurologist appointment for her second episode of febrile seizures or whatever the heck they actually are. The doctor was unsure and said there wasn't anything to do about them anyways since they are only fever related. She should outgrow them by 5 and they don't do any harm. I was satisfied with that and am happy to not have to go down to Tampa anymore.
