Rockin with Disney

Today was so much fun! We decided last minute to take the girls to see Disney's ice show Rockin Ever After. Princess6 and Princess9 both had mentioned it multiple times and since they are neither ones to ask for things too often and have done amazingly well in school and are all around just good kids...it was decided that we'd surprise them. So on our family calendar I wrote 'Big Surprise!' on today's date. Of course my detail-oriented Princess6 who studies that calendar and marks off each day noticed immediately. They were anticipating the event for about 30 hours. Last night Princess9 wasn't feeling too hot and all she could think of was not wanting to miss the big surprise. She was so pitiful....so today she kept thinking of things it could be and even guessed correctly but we convinced her she was wrong without lying...something tricky to do with a smart 9 year old. I quietly packed their princess dresses and we loaded up heading down to South Philly.

They still didn't know here :)

I think it made it more exciting for them to anticipate the surprise. I would have hated it. I like surprises but only if you spring it on me. I usually figure it out if I get any type of hint or clue. So anyway...they were so excited when we finally parked and we told them. They had a blast and Princess3 was in awe. She was so cute because Daddy kept asking he questions and she was so engrossed in the show she didn't hear him. I love having kids and being able to do these fun things with them. It's the memories that they take with them. I have to remember that they aren't going to always remember the day to day things but when we make an effort to have a special day whether its just breaking out the china and having a fancy meal for no reason or decorating the whole house on their birthdays...make the days special and they will cherish them.

So excited..Princess6 asked me every couple minutes "How much longer till it starts? How many minutes?" When I told her 7 she was so sweet with her little "Yay!" She's my quiet one and though she didn't jump for joy..she was extremely happy.
