Disney Planning part4/ A nice Family Weekend

Our weekend wasnt anything unusual. Just typical family time. Stephen was off all weekend, so we just enjoyed our time with him around. We used a couple of Groupons and even went to a nearby Disney store for a little window shopping. I have been shopping for cute autograph books for them. I wasnt wanting to purchase at the park since they would be more expensive and honestly I dont think they are that cute. An idea I was considering is purchasing a couple of notebooks like this,

I thought something like this would be so fun and it has many pages, which means if we do keep to our idea of doing this every 3 years, they can take it with them each time. The extra pages could also hold photos of the trip. I think it would make such a beautiful keepsake. It would be so neat to have the autographs and photographs put together in one book. Especially if it becomes collective of all the times we go.  I also need to remember to pack a freezer bag to keep them in, just incase of water rides. I would also be putting something inside the cover for us to be able to get it back, should we lose it. Just a sticker with a mailing address or something like that.

What do you think? Do you think this is a beneficial idea?

Anyway, the weekend was filled with outings to malls and playgrounds. We met up with friends on Sunday for dinner and played at the park until it got too cool, as it got darker. It was a very fun weekend all around.
Pictures to come, I feel like everytime I sit down to write these my phone is dead. We have a playgroup meetup in the morning. It has been nice sunny but cool weather. It has made for nice days to be outside, as long as you dress warm.  I vow to get pictures on the laptop in the next couple of days, that way they are available when I need them! I gotta learn to make that a habit!
