Today was hectic as normal as it is most Mondays in the Wilson household. It's always hard for us to wake up and get going after the weekend. School, karate, and homework filled up most of our day. Bedtime rituals were held and both Cole and Mary Conlee have been tucked into their beds. Now, the parental units have been scurrying around the house packing bags and getting ready for our early morning departure. Unbeknownst to the kids, they will be waking up at 4:15 a.m. for a surprise trip to Disney World. Over the Labor Day weekend while Judd and I were relaxing at the lake house, I came up with this last-minute trip idea. How awesome it would be to wake up the kids one morning and say, "Get up--we're going to Disney World today!" So before Judd had time to rationally think about this decision or talk me out of it, we booked our resort, airline tickets, and park passes. It's been hard to keep it a secret, but thankfully we only had to be undercover for 3 1/2 weeks. We have dodged the flu-- just don't ask us how we managed to do this! Both teachers have been notified, bags have been secretly packed, and Brody has been taken to the vet for a "checkup." Luckily, no one has suspected a thing. I think we may have pulled off the surprise of a lifetime. Stay tuned!
