I just had to record what Jimmy said today. I told the boys it was time for Glade's nap. Jimmy's reply was so sweet, "Aww, but Mom, he's my best friend...every day!" As I was carrying Glade upstairs, Jimmy called over and over, "Don't take my baby!" I couldn't help but smile.
The problem is, if I don't let Glade nap he ends up crashed on the couch. (He has a thing for hats and is always finding them and not wanting to take them off.)
How did I get so lucky?
Disneyland Paris! Is it embarrassing to admit that I was more excited for this part of the trip than for the city center? Is it embarrassing to admit that I had to look up how to spell "embarrassing"? Anyway...I found Disneyland Paris to be very similar to the CA Disneyland. Very fun. Very tiring. Somehow magical.
Classic Carousel
Okay, the Dumbo line....oh my, SO horrible! We waited for over an hour. The boys were wasted and so were we. By the end we were just laughing...couldn't believe we actually stayed in line that long. Looks like Jimmy thought it was worth it!
Buzz Lightyear...one of Jimmy's favorites. Actually one of all of our favorites. We rode it twice.
Jimmy had fun carrying around his little autograph book and meeting the characters.
This dragon was pretty cool looking. Jarom kept teasing Jimmy that he was going to throw him in. Poor kid, probably traumatized him for life.
We spent 3 days in Disneyland. This was at the end of the first day. They both crashed before they could eat dinner. Just imagine them on the last day! 
We had fun taking cheesy pictures in front of the Eiffel. This day was one of the highlights of the trip for me. There was a cool park with tons of toys for the kids to play on right by the Eiffel. In fact you could see the tower from where we were sitting on our bench. It was nice to sit and watch the boys run around and play.
Beneath Eiffel...nice up-the-nose shot, eh?
I think this one is a keeper.
The park by the Eiffel
Jimmy got to ride on a donkey right in front of the tower. He thought it was pretty cool.
La Basilique du Sacre Coeur...gorgeous
The view from the basilica. It was a pain getting all the way up there with a stroller and 2 kids. Worth it though.
We had a yummy lunch and dessert. I chose the best one...a chocolate fudge filled macaron!
Good thing someone locked up their bike! haha :)
The Louvre
Jimmy liked all the statues.
Glade liked the paintings on the ceilings. He kept saying, "Wow, look...up high!" while pointing.
Playing in the dirt outside the Louvre
Jimmy took this picture...we celebrated our 5th anniversary with shopping at La Fayette, seeing the Arc de Triomphe (pic below), and a delicious dinner...I had salmon, Jarom had lamb and the boys had chicken and french fries. We finished with chocolate mousse!
I need your help. One of my good friends just stopped by with SIX bags stuffed full with adorable baby girl clothes. Not only that but she washed them all for me, sorted them, and then rode them over to my house on her bike! And...she has more to come. Can you believe it? I am in awe of her generosity and want to do something really nice for her. Any ideas? Somehow I think a plate of cookies just doesn't quite cut it!
