I am SO freaking bored... Sorry ladies. Hope you want to play along.

They named it Five Things Thursday, so we will rename it Five Things Friday

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it?

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day?

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday)

4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here?

5) What's your favorite scary movie & why?

ETA: 4 & 5

1) I'm going to try to make it to 4, but its possible we'd bring her by age 3. My fiance and I love Disney. It's our favorite place to vacation. Even if she doesn't remember it, I'll still get to have the awesome memories of how much fun she had.

2) No, its rainy where I live, plus with being exhausted and all these BH I feel like crap.

3) 4th of July? We always BBQ and go see fireworks and all that fun stuff.

4) I really want to be able to go out to dinner and have a drink!

5) The Shining.

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it?

I'm going to go with 5-8 years old b/c it will be a great experience for them, and they will probably remember it. I went in third grade and LOVED it.

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day?

Tomorrow we have a BBQ/BDay part at our cousins house which is an hour away. We will go depending on how I feel and how the weather is. Also, it's 90 mins away from my hospital, so I am not 100% sure if it's a good idea to go, even though doc said it was okay.

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday)

I think I really like Mother's Day now.. I had such a nice/relaxing day... It was awesome, but since I haven't experienced it with a child yet, I will choose 4th of July - who doesn't love a mid summer celebration?

4) What is the first thing you want to do after you LO exits?

I'd LOVE to drink a really stiff cocktail and a shot. I dont' think I can b/c of BF'ing tho :-(

5) What's your favorite scary movie?

Pet Sematary! Freaks me out EVERY time. Matter of fact, I can't watch it anymore. I think I love it b/c of how many different SCARY storylines there are... Between Gage dying, the guy on the bike who was killed by a truck driver, the daughter who is kind of psychic, the freaky cat Church, the Indian burial ground, the cleaning lady who kills herself and the sister Zelda... OMG... SCARY!

jlml2008 · May 2013

1) I would say 4 or 5 for Disney World. It's so dang expensive and so much to see any younger and it might be a little overwhelming. Our 2.5 year old has already been to Disneyland though and loved it. We're planning a trip to Disney World for when she is 4.5 and this LO is 2

2) A BBQ for my sister's high school graduation and possibly a day at the lake if hubby gets enough work done

3) I really enjoy 4th of July. We usually spend the day at my family's lake house and do a big BBQ and fireworks 4 I'm so anxious for the next two weeks to go by that I filled them with tons of errands and play dates but I have a feeling ill end up canceling some for exhaustion! 5 it's almost noon here and I'm still in my pajamas...and it doesn't even bother me

4) Drink a Raspberry Chai Tea Latte from Starbucks and eat a chocolate frosty from Wendy's. I have been off caffeine and chocolate since 25 weeks due to LO's heart issues and I have been having some MAJOR cravings!

5) Not really a scary movie fan anymore...used to love them when I was younger but now I just jump a mile high at every little thing and my DH teases me non stop

ETA: Added 4&5 answers

GingerBabyTX · May 2013

1) I hope there will be MANY Disney trips for our family (we went on our honeymoon there!), so I'd want the first to be like 4 or 5 while they're still in awe of all the "magic," and then later for their own memories.

2) Taking advantage of Memorial Day sales and registry completion coupons. Oh and sleeping.

3) July 4th!

4) I have no idea. I quit drinking before getting pregnant, but a margarita has sounded SO good lately.

5) The Others

megaroo64 · May 2013

I'll play!

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it? No Idea. I am 30 and I have never been. I would imagine 4 or 5 would be good?

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day? Laying low. We may do some family stuff, but we have kept it kinda open so that we can play it by ear.

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday) First off, I think it is funny that your birthday is one of the "big 4" LOL. But my favorite is probably Fourth of July. I like the BBQs and getting to spend time outside.

4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here? Probably cuddle with the LO.

5) What's your favorite scary movie & why? I don't watch scary movies... ever. I don't even like commercials for scary movies. It is just completely not my thing (I thought The Princess Bride was a horror movie until I was about 22. I saw it for the first time when I was really young, and only the scary parts stuck out in my mind).

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it? Old enough (aka tall enough) to fit on every ride.

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day? Cookout with family, nothing big

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday) 4th of July, maybe? I do love fireworks

4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here? Sit outside on the porch on the metal glider and nurse.

5) What's your favorite scary movie & why? Silence of the Lambs. Scary both gruesome, but also psychologically scary.

MrsKatie07 · May 2013

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it? I'm thinking we'll go the year before each child starts kindergarten. DD has been asking to go for about 6 months so I think she'll remember by the time she's 5. If you can only go one time, I think age 5 or 6 would be best so they remember.2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day?We are going to my parents' house for a BBQ tomorrow night and other than that we don't have many plans. Probably have a little camp fire in our back yard Sunday and maybe go to a friend's house for another BBQ. 3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday)4th of July for sure! I love summer and I am very patriotic and I've always love the 4th. 4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here?I plan on not getting much sleep for several months. I'm not sure exactly what this question is asking, but I always plan to have a beer or a glass of wine as soon as I'm out of the hospital, or get a special meal, or whatever, but it never happens. Those are usually the last things I'm thinking about and I pretty much go into survival mode and I'm being realistic this time! I just want us all to survive the first 6 months! 5) What's your favorite scary movie & why?I don't watch scary movies anymore. Seriously, I'm a big baby and I get freaked out too easily. I'm pretty sure it was one of the Saw movies that made me stop watching scary movies.

LiLi23 · May 2013

1) I want to wait until this one is at least out of diapers, so maybe when DD is 5 and DS is 3?

2) Family parties, visitng friends, relaxing in general.

3) Labor Day bc we usually end up going down the shore with family.

4) My good friend's baby shower is July 20th. Baby will potentially be 3ish weeks old, but I think we're gonna go. It's a coed/kid friendly shower. And pretty small at that. It's only an hour and a half away and REALLY want to see my friend (she lives 4 hours away), so I'm going to do it as long as I'm physically ok.

5) You know I used to watch scary movies all the time when I was younger and I just can't bring myself to watch them anymore. I get way too freaked out! I'm such a baby

GirlWithAnchors · May 2013

1 At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it?

I actually would wait til 58 like PP said. I was 5 the first time I went and I dot remember a thing! But I know they'll be able to do the whole trip without being too tired and can enjoy the whole time there.

2 Any good plans going on for Memorial Day?

Nah, my birthday is Sunday so that's what I'll be really celebrating lol

3 Favorite "2nd level" holiday? 2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday

I love St. Patrick's day lol I just like pinching people.

4 What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here?

Nothing really, just spend time with them.

5 What's your favorite scary movie why?

I love the SAW movies and The Hills Have Eyes. I just like the gorey kills!

btsrc5 · May 2013

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it?

I am a Disney travel agent, so I say as many times as possible!! There really is no age that is a bad age for Disney. there is so much to do for every age group. It is just all about planning the appropriate trip- one of the reasons why I love my job!

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day?

no DH and I actually both have the day off, which is very very rare, so i would love to do something fun as a family... but we have to stay close to home/hospital.

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday)

July 4th- I love summer and everything about it

4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here?

Introduce DD to her little sister

5) What's your favorite scary movie & why?

I don't do scary

Ilovebeingamom · May 2013

1. We are going in November. We took DS1 when he was 5 months. He's 3 now and has gone 3 or 4 times now... To Disneyland not disney world. Not sure if we are interested in Disney world.... Maybe when they're both like over 7?
2. Memorial Day weekend! I am having a sprinkle at my moms house. It's a tea party. I'm excited. I'm also tired. I am hoping to get some sleep. I think DH and I want to go see iron man 3.
3. Probably 4th of July! I love BBQ and fireworks. Edited to add: I changed my mind to Halloween!!! I love dressing up and now with kids it's even more fun!!!
4. I cannot WAIT to sleep on my belly.... That's what I'm excited about post baby! Not really alcohol...never been a huge fan.
5. I hate scary movies so I'll say my favorite movie of all time is probably... Cry baby...

hjk5000 · May 2013

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it? I think anytime between the ages of 4-10. I just personally don't want to deal with a baby or a teenager at Disney. I think we'll probably go when DS1 is 6 and DS2 is 4

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day? nope. cleaning, making freezer meals and sitting on my butt

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday) 4th of July!

4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here? The first thing not related to LO? I literally have no idea!

5) What's your favorite scary movie & why? I don't really have a favorite...I like old scary movies though like the Shining and the Omen

RissNRuss · May 2013

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it?

I'd say around 5- that's when I went and was able to remember some things (I remember the chimp from Jungle Book, Ariel, my parasol with my name on it.)

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day?

We usually go to Hub's family lake house, but I don't feel 3-4 hours in the car each way is gonna work. So tomorrow we're doing "chores" and Sunday/Monday we're gonna just have fun.

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday)

We are big 4th of July people. His family has spent the last over 100 years on the Lake for the 4th, and I always spent it with my Aunt/G-dmother's family with a big BBQ and fireworks. I do love Halloween though- it's probably the most fun to me!

4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here?

I guess this means first outing? But I don't know... we haven't really thought that through- we'll be kind of feeling our way as we go I guess.

5) What's your favorite scary movie & why?

I would say the scary movies that freaked me out most (I love scary movies, they just don't scare me) are Fear (way too realistic) and It (completely not, but I DO NOT LIKE CLOWNS!)

MrsAuby · May 2013

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it?

I think older than 4, I want them to definitely be able to remember it and I think at 4, you just forget too much.

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day?

We have nothing planned so far which I am fine with since the last 3 weekends I had a shower, big mother's day parties, and another shower. I'm sure my sister or parents will have us over for a BBQ but they all live within 2 miles of us, so that's not a big deal!

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday)

Hmm...this is tough. I'm going to go with Halloween since you get to see little kids all dressed up and cute!

4) What is the first thing you want to do after you LO exits?

This one is tough too! I mean technically I guess first thing I want to do is hold/kiss/cuddle her! After the hospital I'm thinking a nice big beer from Buffalo Wild Wings!

5) What's your favorite scary movie?

I'm not a huge fan of scary movies...like at all. I don't mind them, I just would rather watch a comedy, action, or chick flick.

enuk2013 · May 2013

1.) We'll probably go next summer when our little one is around 12 months. My husband and his family LOVE Disney and my in-laws have that Disney time share thing so they go every spring anyway. My MIL and I will prob take turns waiting with the baby during rides and spend a lot of time at the resort pool and that sort of thing.

2.) Spending Memorial Day with family at the beach. This is the longest Friday at work ever--can't wait to get on the road at 4pm!

3.) I love 4th of July so much it's tied with Christmas and Thanksgiving for favorite holiday, so I'd say St. Patrick's Day as "second tier". We always celebrate with friends and have a great time.

4.) Delivering at a birth center where I will stay hopefully just a few hours after delivery. I just want to be home with my baby, my husband and our immediate family/closest friends. I can't wait for everyone to meet her!

5.) Umm... not a big scary movie person, but I love Sleepy Hollow with Johnny Depp, Silence of the Lambs and Fallen (Denzel Washington). So scary in a creepy way, not like horror movies or anything.

KellenHi21 · May 2013

1 At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip?nbsp; 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it?
I think around 3 or 4 would be fun, even if it is more of me enjoying taking them rather then them remembering... However we live far far way so I doubt I will take lo that young, if at all.

2 Any good plans going on for Memorial Day?
It's dh's bday on Sunday and our anniversary on Tuesday so we will be going out for a nice meal and spending the days at the beach.

3 Favorite "2nd level" holiday? 2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday
4th of July, always love a good BBQ!

4 What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here?
Loving him, breast feeding, staring at him in amazement that he's mine? Staring at DH in amazement that we are parents? Lol idk I guess those would be the first things...

5 What's your favorite scary movie amp; why?
I hate scary movies! So none!

melissa0726 · May 2013

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it? Ideally, I think taking our girls at ages 4 & 6 would be awesome.

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day? Nope! I didn't even know it was a holiday weekend until today Embarrassed

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday). I like 4th of July. Cookouts and fireworks and open house parties where you can pop in and out at your leisure.

4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here? My first night home, I can't wait to sleep on my stomach!

5) What's your favorite scary movie & why? No fave. I like to watch them once and be scared, and then I'm done.

sap275 · May 2013

1. I think around 7, that is when I took my first big trip.
2. Hospitalized BR so sadly no
3. Labor Day Sept long weekend our city hosts a big fireworks festival
4. Morning coffee on the deck
5. Cant watch scary movies too big of a suck!

Corleyrae · May 2013

I was too old my first trip so I will say 3/4 when they really get into it and then again as often as possiable!

I am going to try and stay pregnant. That is basically it.

I want to say 4 of July but they have all sucked the last few years so Ill go with.

Eat Chinese maybe? Hadnt thought about it. Chinese because Im salt restricted and Chinese is number one on the list.

I dont care for scary movies but I would have to go with something with zombies. Ghost and devil movies are 100 banned from my viewing.

KHadden26 · May 2013

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it?

Probably around 5 or 6... we'll probably do two trips, one when the first baby is 5 and the other one is hopefully 3 (I'm a FTM so this is all if our plans work out), and then another when the youngest is 5 and the older sibling would be around 7...or maybe slightly older than that.

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day?

Nope, we are hanging around since I'm due in a week and a day!! We don't want to be too far from the hospital - we usually go 2 hours away to my mom's in Rhode Island but then we would be at least 2.5hrs from our hospital and with holiday traffic, I'm not super comfy with that. So we made dinner plans with friends tonight and tomorrow!

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday)

Hmm usually Memorial Day because we go up for the long weekend to the beach and hang out/relax. Last year we had a wedding in Ohio (I live in CT), so traveling wasn't super fun and then this year I'm pretty much due and the weather stinks...so not lately -- but normally Memorial Day weekend is great!

4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here?

Introducing her to the dogs and trying out my ring sling!

5) What's your favorite scary movie & why?

I don't think I have a favorite hmmmm

Luthy · May 2013

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it?

I went at 3 and 7 (and then a couple times later) and I don't really remember it much from 3. I think that was more for my parents than me. Ideally I think both would be great but if I could only do one I think I'd go for 7ish.

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day?

Naw, my friend has an engagement party and I'm one of the bridesmaids so I have to do stuff.

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday)

Lately I've been liking the 4th of July because DH's family actually celebrates it and it's fun! We never really did when I was growing up.

4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here?

EATING SUGAR. SUUUUGAR. CARRRRBS. SUUUUGAR. Sugar.

5) What's your favorite scary movie & why?

The Exorcist! One of the few horror movies that stands up to repeated viewing. I LOVE horror movies but a lot of the time they're just boring the second time.

Tiffy725 · May 2013

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? Probably 4 or 5

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day? Our 1 year wedding anniversary is Sunday! We're going out for Italian then maybe catch a movie. No plans for Monday yet.

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? I love 4th of July, we always go buy way too many fireworks, swim and grill.

4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here? Get comfy in our home with him and spend time as a new little family of 3

5) What's your favorite scary movie & why? I don't think I have a favorite! DH and I love watching scary movies, doesn't matter what it is.

kimmy42 · May 2013

1. I plan on taking her around 6 or 7. I grew up near Disneyland and took my daughter when she was 7, she was young enough to enjoy the wonder of it all and old enough to have the memories.

2.Nothing exciting, maybe a trip to the beach.

3.Halloween, so much fun!!

4.Take a shower.

5.Evil Dead (the original). I love camp...the colors, script, and low budget special effects scare the sh!t outta me no matter how many times I see it.

LeggyNic · May 2013

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it? We'll wait till DD3 is 4 or 5 before we go. The older two would be closer to 8 & 6 then. If we're flying cross country, we want them to get the most out of it.

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day? Hosting our church small group on Sunday for a BBQ. SIL/BIL/niece are coming Mon-Weds.

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday) Probably Labor Day. I love the end of summer and it's also our anniversary weekend.

4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here? Haven't decided between margarita, mojito or sapphire tonic.

5) What's your favorite scary movie & why? The Others, because I can actually get DH to watch it with me. He's definitely not the scary movie type.

megandchase · May 2013

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it? Age 2 or 3 then of course go back when they are a little older. I think the "magic" is there at any age and it is a new experience every time!!2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day? No... bed rest stinks!3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday) 4th of July, I love being outside and I love fireworks4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here? Spend a lot of time with family and friends since we will be moving when LO is about 4 weeks old5) What's your favorite scary movie & why? Hmm... not sure I love the ghost/paranormal kind of scary movies, I'm not into the killing and slaughtering people type.

Murphie82 · May 2013

1) I live about five miles from Disney World so we'll probably go even when LO is super small. If we didn't live so close, I'd prob wait until 5. Memories would probably be a bit hazy for LO but I think it's good age to capture the magic of Disney for a kid.

2) Nope...nothing in particular planned, which sounds fabulous to me.

3) Halloween

4) Not sure how to answer this one. I didn't read anyone else's responses so I'm not sure what context to apply to the question. No particular plans other than to enjoy my new baby boy.

5) Totally blanking on a scary movie that I like...I think I have the afternoon sleepies.

carmen.d.scott · May 2013

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip?

I think 5 or 6 is a good age...I've never been and would want my kids to remember the trip.

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day?

Nothing really. I'm headed to salon Sat morning for mani/pedi/massage and that's the only thing I'm really looking forward to (other than no work Monday)

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday)

I think 4th of July...I love seeing the fireworks.

4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here?

Eating a meal without worrying about the # of carbs! (Diagnosed with GD at 28 wks)

5) What's your favorite scary movie & why?

No faves...I don't watch them much anymore-watched them all when I was a child (IT 1&2, anything Steven King) I was a brave soul.

sparklemotion86 · May 2013

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it?

I'm thinking older just because we wouldn't be able to afford it anytime soon. I've never been, but I would love to go!

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day? Nope. Us Canadians had our long weekend last weekend (Victoria Day). I went to my parents place and visited with my family. It was nice. This weekend, DS and I are hanging around the house.

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday)

Hmmm I guess Mother's Day?

4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here?

No idea. Maybe have a drink when LO is like a month old.

5) What's your favorite scary movie & why?

The Cell. It's awesome

ladybugpjb · May 2013

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 4 - old enough to remember, tall enough to ride rides, old enough to make it through a day without meltdowns

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day? I just got back from an outlet mall shopping trip, and that was my big plan for the weekend.

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? 4th of July

4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here? hopefully be able to relax and enjoy her - I didn't really get to do that with DS since we were moving

5) What's your favorite scary movie & why? I don't generally watch scary movies, and the ones I do watch are too dumb to be considered a favorite. The last scary movie I saw was Cabin in the Woods. Ridiculous.

mrskait13 · May 2013

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it?

I am a Californian so... BOTH! We will take LO when he is a NB this year so his older siblings get to run around the park & have fun. We will go back when he is 3-4 which puts the twins @ 13-14 yrs old. they'll still love it and have fun I am sure. and then we will take him again when he is 10 or so. I love Disneyland. I am a bit of a nut though so I try to go every 2-3 years because it's so much fun.

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day?

Staying out of L&D... maybe? :P

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday)

DEFINITELY 4th of July & Halloween. It's a tie!

4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here?

Im assuming you mean aside from just sleeping. Um.. Calling grandparents and step kids. Um.. Having my best friend bring me sushi

1) At what age do you think is a good time for your kids' first Walt Disney World trip? 3 or 4 to get the full "magic" or older so they'd remember it?

My parents rule was when I was old enough to go without a nap and not make everyone else miserable. We've talked about 5 years old being a good time, but also plan on having another baby by then and they won't be 5, so who knows?

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day?

Living at the beach, Memorial Day (and after) kinda suck. So many people, so much traffic.

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday)

4th of July

4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here?

eating a jersey mikes sub!!

5) What's your favorite scary movie & why?

I'd say whenever it works for the family. Probably closer to 5 and older is better though.

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day?

None! Relax...BBQ some... that's about it.

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday)

St. Patricks Day! I love the color green, I love green beer and fun cocktails, corned beef, Sheperd's Pie, Guinness. GREAT! So glad I won't be pregnant for it next year.

4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here?

First thing? Probably nurse the baby, love it, cuddle! Duh! First thing that I can't currently do right now? Crack open a bottle of wine when I get home!

5) What's your favorite scary movie & why?

I hate scary movies....

We will probably take LO to Disney Land when he's about 6 and Disney World when he is maybe 10is. I just think the lines, the waiting, the excitement, the heat, and the massiveness of all the parks is too hard for little little ones.

2) Any good plans going on for Memorial Day? We are having a BBQ nad going to several HS grad parties.

3) Favorite "2nd level" holiday? (2nd level meaning not the "big 4" of Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving and your birthday) 4th of July~

4) What is the first thing you plan on doing after LO gets here? I don't know, I think I will be in survival mode, so we will see.

5) What's your favorite scary movie & why? I hate scary movies.

1. We plan to do a Disney cruise when both kids are a little older. We are only on kid one, so probably 4 and 6?

2. I live in Canada, our long weekend was last weekend and we (as in DH) helped our friends build a fence. But this Sunday is my baby shower!!

3. Halloween! Love it!

4. The first thing I plan on doing once LO gets here is just hibernate at home and get used to having a baby.

5. I don't like scary movies : I get wicked nightmares.
