Stayin Home Today!

YES! We made it to Disneyland on Wednesday! I ended up taking Kate and the two older boys. The boys missed school. I don't like them to miss school but it was the first day that they have missed all year. (I'm a nice Mom huh)!! haha
The weather was beautiful, and hardly no waiting for the rides. I left Mack at home with a sitter so it was great to not have deal with him. It was heaven! Toddlers are fun for a few hours but not ALL day!
Thursday we went to California Adventure. My sister came down from AZ and bought the hopper passes. (It's where you go to D-land one day and then Calf. Adv. the next)
I found a sitter for the two older boys for right after school until Todd got home and I took the two younger kids with me. We saw the Aladdin show which was awesome! Again, beautiful weather and no crowds! It was fun to get to spend time with Melissa and her girls.
California Adventure closed at 6:00 so we went to the Rain Forest Cafe to eat dinner. I'm sure most of you know about the Rain Forest Cafe, its a really cool restaurant with tons of pretend animals to look at. They have a store inside the restaurant too. It was inside downtown Disney, so lots of people around. (can you tell I'm trying to set up a story here)-hee hee
Anyway, we were seated at our table and my nephew who is 10 took Mack throughout the restaurant to look at all of the animals, it was nice to get a 5 minute break from him....well, Tyler brought him back to me but didn't tell me that he brought him back so I continued to chit chat with my sisters as my back was turned to Mack, not knowing that he was behind me. Tyler takes off, and comes back 5 minutes later and asks me "where is Mack". I said, "I thought you had him". Tyler said, "I brought him back to you 5 minutes ago". ANYWAY, I panicked and ran to the first person I saw, asking for help, "my sons missing, he's wearing a green sweatshirt and jeans". They said, "why don't we page him", I'm like ," he's only ONE". We all started to search for him. I was seriously so scared!!! The worst feeling. There are so many people around. I finally found him just wondering around the store totally having a great time. He was probably gone a solid 5 minutes or more! My heart was pounding. I just started to cry but tried to hold back the tears. It was just the worst feeling ever! Anyway, my sister told Tyler to next time make SURE the parent knows when you bring back the child. It was a simple mistake...
Today I have been home getting the house put back together and laundry caught up. Mack is napping and Kate has a friend over and they are playing quietly in her room. Tonight is our ward Temple night. I got a baby-sitter so we are good to go! Last Saturday I got to attend our tri-stake Woman's Conference, which was awesome! I went to a class where the speaker talked about the Temple and said, "you leave a better Woman every time you attend the temple". How great is that! He talked about how not only should we double our efforts but we should re-double our efforts. He was the old Redland's Temple President. He was in my home ward growing up. It was neat to hear him and his wife speak that day.
Have a great weekend everyone!
