to infinity...AND BEYOND!

this is something like what the kids' room looks like every day in our house. same toys, different set-up. the kids call it a "toy story party." they use the free trading cards we got at the disney store a while back and match them up with the actual toy. if they don't have a particular toy, they look for one "like" it. for example, the new "buttercup" character is a stuffed animal unicorn that natalie had.

this picture just shows a portion of the toys that they bring out. sometimes it gets so bad that it's hard to even walk in their room.

although natalie enjoys setting this up and playing with these toys, it's mostly russell who gets them out and really gets into it. he really loves Toy Story-anything and even believes he is Buzz Lightyear sometimes. He jumps up on/off of literally anything all the while shouting "To Infinity...AND BEYOND!" it's really cute and funny at the same time.

i really don't mind his obsession because honestly, i'm quite fond of Toy Story myself.

we're off to orlando tomorrow afternoon. russ can only spend a a few days down there with us because of work, but i plan on staying with my parents and sister until friday. hopefully the weather won't be affected by the tropical depression out there right now... but we will certainly make the best of our trip regardless.

tootles!
