This boy has had a rough week. From a cold to his first black eye, he deserves to rest as long as he wants to. I’m so grateful to be able to work from home so I can care for him always. Even when he gives me his cold. 🤒☀️

Once upon a time... Carl, Ellie, and Russell went on a grand adventure to Cinderella's castle!

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party means shorter lines and little wait times. So, we took advantage of our very first Rapunzel lantern photo!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ll be sharing more about this epic event on the blog soon! Thank you @kossinacreative for snapping this pic of us!

One of my favorite parts of Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party was meeting the princesses with no line!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is the best you’ll see of our family costumes for now! Russell, Carl, and Ellie meet Princess Tiana.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Disney Halloween Party is the best for sage trick-or-treating, unlimited candy, and loads of Halloween fun! From parades to stage shows – this is a must-attend event. Also, you get to have fun and dress up!

Our days consist of collecting rocks, eating snacks, and waving at the neighbors. ☀️ Also, I still have to bribe him to wear his glasses. #amblyopia

SWIPE ⬅️ to see 4 years of our @tastecfl charity date nights! We had to skip last year because we had an infant but these are from 2019, 2017, 2016, and 2015.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Best event we’ve done! I’ll let you know how much the event raised as soon as it’s announced but I’m confident we’ve helped a lot of the hungry and homeless.

One of my favorite things about the @tastecfl event is the Giving Tree. Donate $50 and get a secret gift card to a local restaurant worth $25 to $300. All proceeds go to feed the hungry and homeless!
