Sadly, we are home.  My first post about the “paradise vaca” will start from the ending of the trip.

When coming home we had to take a 6 seater plane.  Meaning I was holding the baby and my mother was had to sit in the co-pilot seat (is that what it’s called?) for us all to fit.  Anyways, upon spotting the plane my panic went into overdrive.  Enter sweet Zanex…thank you Dr…I might have never arrived home otherwise.  So, high as a kite I took my seat.  PS- How do people take this medication daily???!!!  Maybe it’s because I don’t drink or take any meds but my body tripped out!  Haha they could have tied me to the wing and I’d have been okay…for a few minutes anyways!

They smashed us into this itty bitty ‘plane’, basically the size of the model airplanes my dad and bro built growing up.  We took off out of St. Barts airport, which you have to have a special license to land and take off from.  It is rated the most dangerous airport in the world.  YEAH!!!

They stick me in the back next to Ash hoping that if I freak out she can keep me from opening a door and jumping out.  No joke folks I get THAT bad when flying.

The flight was only 15 minutes…no big deal self…you can do this…breath…wait..what is this my eyes see?  Am I really that high, or did the pilot just give my mom the wheel and look down to start writing on his clip board?  No this is reality!!!  As if this couldn’t have gotten scarier!!?? If I could have formed a sentence I would have yelled at the pilot and my mother!  Will you say I’m dramatic?  Yes.  Do I care?  No.  Just tellin the truth here people:)

This was the view from my seat in the BACK row mind you!

Apparently the kids did not receive the memo that this is not really a plane and that we are in danger!!

There’s my mom….no care in the world…. about to take the entire families lives into her hands with not even a blink of an eye.  Yes, my mom used to be a pilot but she hasn’t flown in a long time.  This had to be illegal….someone call the air police.

So long for a bit!  I am off to a far off land.  We will be on a plane all night, a 6 hour layover, another plane and then a ferry……


Did I mention we will have all 3 kids!!?  Did I mention I am terrified of flying?  Did I mention heroine is starting to look like a logical option, too bad theres that whole ‘illegal go straight to jail’ thing attached to it…people are sooo uptight…


Don’t know if I’ll have internet-so just in case I am bidding you a fond farewell:)


PS- You know you have a problem when you install the ‘Girl Scout Cookie Locator and countdown’ app on your phone….  Thought I’d come clean…

Alrighty….made me some laundry soap last night on the stove….(never thought I’d say that!).  I’ve got a load in now.  If this stuff actually works I will save millions!!  I’ll pass the recipe along if this experiment turns out to be a success.  Although my batch is a bit ‘rubbery’.  With one cheap box of each ingredient I could potentially make enough soap to last me years.

Let’s hope this crap works…

I broke out the ‘hand me down’ antique apron while ‘cooking’ my soap and felt very old fashioned I might add.  It made me think that this would be one of my chores when I’m on my dream off-the-grid farm someday.  Followed by walking out to my apple orchard, loading some apples into my apron and bringing them inside to make apple pie while my soap simmers and the bread from my own flour bakes.  Mmmmm…a city girl can dream.  I hope ‘someday’ hurries up and gets closer:)

Oh Disneyland, how I love you.
Spent the day with the twins and my sis at sweet Disneyland.  We had SOOO much fun.  Baby had alone day with daddy.  Can I just say life is easy when you don’t need diapers, bottles and a stroller on you every second of the day!  They are the perfect age….but every age seems to be the ‘perfect’ age.  I’ll say that until they turn 13…haha.
Disneyland is great because you get in the car and feel like you’ve worked out.  Which I don’t do but should!  Haha.
We had so much fun we woke up the next day and the whole family went again!  If you’ve got a season pass you might as well use it:)  And the kids start up school again so a nice way to squash in a bunch of fun while we have them home for the last few days.  
NOTE TO MY MOM:  MOM PLEASE WRITE THE STORY OF HOW YOU WERE ARRESTED AND BANNED FOR LIFE FROM DISNEYLAND….HYSTERICAL…
