11th Jan 2009 – shopping & Epcot

Yesterday was a beautiful day – we decided to take it easy so we slept late. By the time we were up and ready to go out, it was time for Demi to sleep again, so we decided to go shopping while Demi slept. This gave us a lot of time to spend alone with the boys and just chat and play games….

We played body parts and animals in the car (you choose something and then the rest of the people have to ask you questions and try to guess what it is you have chosen… only problem is, Mikey keeps changing it if you guess correctly and you can never win! which also means that you have to just keep asking him questions over and over again until you say enough and you quit and he declares victory!!! He is such a Diesel!!!

Anyway, on the way home, Jamie said: “Did you know mom, that Disney world is the only place in the world where dreams come true?” We explained to him that that is not true and that  dreams always come true if you work hard enough on them and never give up. We told him that bringing our family to Disney World on holiday had always been a dream of ours and that we had worked hard on our dream, in South Africa, to make it come true. And we were patient and we never gave up.

That was all he needed to get inspired and the next thing he shouted that he was going to be  an artist and make movies when he grows up!!! He was so inspired that we had to go straight to Publix to buy him pencils and paper for him to draw his pictures…. He thinks he will work on them all the time and then he will have about 100 movies by the time he grows up. He also thinks he will design some video games…

He started telling me all his ideas and different story lines and we discussed different characters and Mikey really enjoyed that, so he thinks he might help Jamie with the movies!!! Sounds like he Disney brothers, Roy and Walt! Watch out Disney, here comes the Diesels!!!

Then they said how much fun they were having. I asked them what they like about America – this is
what Jamie said: “the sweets, the candy, the rides, the putt putt, Disney World, the psp games,
EVERYTHING!!! It’s the best place in the whole world and I wish we could live here!”

Mikey added: “and the chocolate milk and the water parks and the toys!”

They are so beautiful and I am so proud of them (even though they drive me crazy most of the time and are very naughty and push me all the time too) – there’s the universal balance Dr Demartini always talks about….

For supper, we had some steak and veges and brown rice (which was actually white??) It was so good to have veges and healthy food!

In the evening, Ryan & I went to Epcot to watch “Illuminations!” Every night the Epcot skies expolde with lasers, fireworks and music as  “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth” glitters, gleams and glows over World Showcase Lagoon in perfectly synchronised splendour. It’s the fitting finale to a day of fun!!!

It was incredible and we loved it! So much so, that Ryan has gone back tonight to take the boys to see it! Just a boys night out (and the girls are staying home – Demi & I were sleeping and playing and now she is back in bed) I am sure the boys are having the time of their lives!!!
