Dis Meet @ Libby Lu

Today we had our big mini dis meet with fellow cruisers. We met up with 2 other families with children in the same age range as my daughter. To say they had fun is an understatement. As we were driving home, my daughter asked when our next playdate was! She is now more excited for our vacation. As am I. The moms bonded over the multiple dessert options on board and the drinks of the day. We are going to get a reputation for sure! Here are some pics....

New Month New Countdown


Here we are in the middle of february. It's been a while since my last post. Nothing really new has been going on, just finishing up the final planning of our May trip. School has been rolling along. Now we start getting super busy before we leave. At least it's a distraction. This month we have several events going on: Jump Rope for heart, Hundred Day Festival, Kids Dis Meet at Libby Lu and The Athenian Auction.

I spent last weekend shopping with my HS Cousin. I needed her youth and honesty to tell me if I look like and old lady trying to be in young clothes. She was very reliable and we had a great day of shopping.

We spent Valentines day (or singles appreciation day) participating in the Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser at school. It's a fun morning of jump rope and contests and prizes. It was a sunny day, but the wind was biting through us. A little too chilly. Taylor did fabulous. She jumped for her Grandma Char and her cousin Eric and made her target goal.

Getting ready to jump!

This is lily. My friend susies adorable little daughter. She was having a good time watching the jumpers!

On Presidents day we are meeting some other cruisers at Libby Lu for a playdate and Lunch. She is very excited to meet 2 other girls her age from northern california. On our last cruise, every girl was from texas to florida. No one from California.

Wednesday, it's the Hundred Day celebration at school. Lots of math games to play. Although, the kids don't realize that, so it's cool.

Next weekend, I get to dress fancy and go to Athenian School auction with a friend who works there. It's good to do some recon for our own auction.

Then March is upon us. Another busy month, but more about that later.
