Don't want to ... but have decided that two cruises are too much in one year, especially after the European cruise and other items in my personal life right now. Still booked on the May 10, 2014 Fantasy cruise for now ... It would have been great cruising with a lot of you that I know from past cruises (Jan, Deb, Tina, Angie, Dennis, Joanne ... I'm sure there are others.)
It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that I have cancelled this cruise
Hope you enjoy your May 10th cruiseIt is with great sadness that I have to tell you that I have cancelled this cruise
. I do understand though. We will cruise together again someday. Sending you pixie dust you can still keep the Fantasy sailing. 
Keep in touch !It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that I have cancelled this cruise
So sorry. Another time though for sure!
We set sail in 399 Days ! 
Under the 400 day mark ! I will be going to the beach boogie barbeque and the waterpark.
My 3rd grader would like to home school. After looking into multiple options, I am going to go for it 
Good Morning Everyone !
Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Labor Day ! Anyone have any plans for the weekend ? I am working today but I am off Sunday & Monday.
My life is ever changing!! At least it isn't boring
Just as when my son left school, none of her friends or teachers want her to leave. If she hates it, we can go to the local public school and she will be fine. However, I am looking into a ton of programs and I have a feeling just like my oldest, she will end up loving it.
For the record, Nico doesn't home school for real. He virtual schools through Connections Academy. This will be my first official homeschooler.
With my crazy schedule, I just think this makes the most sense for her.
Wish me luck!!
Hope you had a great time at your BBQ and water park
Next couple of weeks are going to be crazy busy for me but in a good way ! Can't wait to hear about the animal class ! Did Nico enjoy it ?
Yes thank you.
I think Julie my 10yo would have gotten more out of it. I was glad there were other kids his age. I thought it would all be younger kids, but there were about 5 kids all in 7th grade. He really did like the class. His favorite class was the Marine Biology because he looked at xrays, behavior, and vitals on a dolphin only to discover the dolphin had pneumonia. In that class, he learned the filtration of the entire water system for Disney and learned how to tell if the PH levels aren't correct. He learned about feeding, and training animals. Working with animals that are exhibiting behavior problems and where they are quarantined when they are sick or biting...ect.
This animal class we learned about the gibbon monkeys and how they sing to mark their territory. Tigers and how far they jump and how animals learn through observation more than anything else. Participating in exercises in observation learning and question answers throughout the lessons. It was overall a good class
Hopefully the Disneyland classes are more his speed. They should be since they are geared toward jr high and high school.
Those are science field trips. So while we are on vacation, we can count those as working days.
Another week off the countdown
Finally getting settled into the home school routine. I have calendars for each of my kids with the whole year and have them crossing off the days until we reach 180. They are a little frustrated that I am having them start from the beginning because they have been in school since the first week of Aug. But, I also pointed out that Cairns and Fiji are counting as field trips. We are headed to a Fijian village and Thanksgiving day, we are spending time at an orphanage. I explained that those are social studies field trips. Then in Cairns, we are going to explore the Great Barrier Reef and explore the zoo while being able to hold and feed kolas, kangaroos, and wallabies
They are no longer complaining
Key word almost. Those trips sound simply amazing !!!!
We set sail in
