Kristin -- My Hopi has strep throat too. Maybe it is a name thing?!

Janeanne -- Thanks for the PM. I'll get a photobucket account and try it out!

I LOVE these boards. Everyone is so helpful and kind.

Aww, Beth. Tell her we hope she feels better too!!

Is this her first day of being sick?? Does her twin sister have it too??!!

Surprisingly, Skye doesn't ....yet! Just in case, the doctor gave us a prescription for her too.

Aww, that is good. I wish ours had done that. Hanna is actually already on an antibotic for bronchitis so hopefully that will have her covered and she will not get the strep.

Is your Hope staying home from school tomorrow too? Does she have a fever too??

She has been on meds for 4 days so I let her go to school today since she isn't contagious anymore. Her energy level is low so glad that here in northern Virginia the elementary kids only have half day of school on Mondays. While I'm usually not enthused about the half day Mondays, this week I am!

Just home from a weekend at the Hard Rock Hotel - DD's sweet 16 party - it was an amazing weekend from start to finish... perfect weather, HR staff did a great job decorating the cabana we rented, DD loved the candy buffet I created, Hard Rock Cafe was a great meal and staff went above and beyond to make DD feel special. DD and all her friends said it was the best weekend they ever had... cant ask for much more as a parent. So happy that all the planning (and money) had the desired outcome!!!

Wow!! That sounds like an amazing weekend!! What a great sweet 16 party!!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!!

The girls went to this spa with my cousin called the "Sundae Spa" it was soo VERY cute. They got ice-cream sundaes....and their hair done!! So cute. They had soaps in the shape of cupcakes!! There was a chocolate bunny there that looked and smelled like chocolate but it was body soap!!

Then today we had a HUGE Easter Egg Hunt at our house. Bruce set up the bounce house and the kids played on the trampoline, bounce house, and swing-set. They ran through the entire back yard looking for the 325 eggs that we had hidden. They had a ton of FUN!!

Hoping that tomorrow I can get some rest. I have strep-throat and it does not seem to be going away!!I am sureit is because I have not been able to get any rest!! I still need to pack we leave for Disney World on Friday for 11 days!! YEAH!!

Hope everyone else had a nice weekend!!

Sounds like a great time Kristin!!! Get some rest and feel better soon!

I'm BACK!

Here is the long and short of it all....I have been trying to work with my TA to switch our August 2011 cruise with all of you to a July 2012 cruise because of a bunch of trainings that my boss wanted me to do. Told family we could not cruise this year, told all of you I wouldn't be on the ship and sadness settled in. Got TA to work on pricing and I set out to plan a wonderful 2-week trip to the east coast for this summer in July. My plans were all in place to go to NY and CT - hotel rooms reserved, schedules coordinated with Jude and Kristin, maps ordered from AAA, etc. Family was feeling happier that there would be a fun summer vacation and we were all excited to see the east coast! Prices came back from TA for the 2012 cruises and I was not happy at all with the pricing when I compared it to the price we had. I talked with DH and then talked with my boss. I showed him what my plans were, what the prices of the different cruises would be and asked if I worked on a new training plan....would he reconsider giving me the time off. The important thing to note - I am not really suppose to work until the last week in August. My schedule is suppose to follow the teacher schedule. This training is something special that I am suppose to be able to say "I am not available" for. So, I worked out a totally new plan and this morning...it was APPROVED!

We will be on the ship with you all!

A HUGE thank you to Kristin for taking over the FE and to Janeanne for taking over the lanyards....you all are doing great with it and now I am excited to request to have my family join in with the FE and get some lanyards!!!!!

Happy Monday Everyone!

To post links...just copy the the web address from that particular link you want to share and then paste it in your post.
With photos, you need some kind of web photo account, like photo bucket. Then you just copy and paste from there.

I hope that helps!

not this time ... flying jet blue, arriving around 6pm, staying at Hyatt MCO, then off to the Magic on Saturday for our first non Bahamian cruise

Have a great time!! You are going to love it!!

 

[disfaninca]

Thanks, Larua!!

The girls are excited. But poor Hopie is home sick with strep-throat today...UGH!! The dr. said it is was barely postive....So hopefully, she will be better in a few days!!

I promise to take some pictures. We went one other year for Easter and it was soo cute!! The resorts have a candy/egg hunt.. There was soo much candy it was tons of FUN!!

Just had my TA book the two day cruise out of NYC and a cruise on the Fantasy for next summer as a back-up plan. Since we may try to do DVC Hawaii next summer!!
WOW !! Hope you all have a wonderful cruise , sunny days and lots of fun !!!
You'll have to tell us how did you like the Hyatt at the airport ; we are booked there on our first night in the USA !!

Oh no Kristin! I hope Hopie feels better quickly! Kids do seem to bounce back quicker than adults, so I hope that is the case with Hope!

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!!

The girls went to this spa with my cousin called the "Sundae Spa" it was soo VERY cute. They got ice-cream sundaes....and their hair done!! So cute. They had soaps in the shape of cupcakes!! There was a chocolate bunny there that looked and smelled like chocolate but it was body soap!!

Then today we had a HUGE Easter Egg Hunt at our house. Bruce set up the bounce house and the kids played on the trampoline, bounce house, and swing-set. They ran through the entire back yard looking for the 325 eggs that we had hidden. They had a ton of FUN!!

Hoping that tomorrow I can get some rest. I have strep-throat and it does not seem to be going away!!I am sureit is because I have not been able to get any rest!! I still need to pack we leave for Disney World on Friday for 11 days!! YEAH!!

Hope everyone else had a nice weekend!!
