Day 1:

Castaway Cay, The Bahamas: It was the coldest, wettest day of the season, but worth it to repeat this photo from 2 years ago.

Day 2:

Welcome Home!

Kidani Village, Animal Kingdom Lodge

First time staying on points.

Day 3:

Happy Valentine’s Day!

We spent it at Magic Kingdom having lunch with Pooh Bear & then exploring Hollywood Studios!

Day 4:

A day spent at Epcot.

The older I get, the more I enjoy Epcot.

And look forward to the day when we have someone along to watch the kids so Kel and I can actually explore and drink our way through it!

Day 5:

The kids wanted to see Rafiki.

We take the train to see him and chaos ensued.  So, I got the monkey love.

Day7:

A tired princess waiting patiently to see her friends at Askerhus in Epcot.

I Wish...

Project 365: Week 5

Thank God the internet came back so I could stay current :)

Here's my week 5.  Like the template?  Check it out over at Owl Tree Studio!!!

Journaling:

day 1:

Guess who scored 7 goals?
And is 1 tired little monkey...
Momma too though I had a great party.

day 2:

Seriously?
Can I have a week without a food shot? 
No wonder my pants were tight after the holidays!

day 3:

Happy baby girl.
Snug as a bug in a...
handmade quilt.

day 4:

I is for icicle!
This winter storm brought over half an inch of ice and another half inch of snow over 2 days, shutting down everything & resulting in major power loss over several states.

day 5:

A certain little guy adopted this giraffe.
Mommy is always busy even when there’s a snow day!

day 6:

You give Dr Beaks the respect he deserves! He didn't go through 7 years of penguin medical school for nothing!

day 7:

After the week we’ve had...
there will be wine & snacks.
Cheers!

What I can't live without:

An appropriate prompt for this week given that we are now day 3 of a cable & internet outage that has no estimated date of resolution.
We got hit with a major ice and snow storm and lost power Tuesday night for about 8 hours.  When it came back on at about 4:30am, I was so thankful since the house had already started to get cold.  So, this week, my “can’t live without” list would be:

- Electricity
- Caffeine
- Running water
_ A sense of Humor
- Yarn & crochet hook
- Cell phone with data package
- Something sweet
- Caring friends

New kit by Kerry Stewart :)

A little snow, a lot of ice, and a cable outage for almost 4 days!  We were all going stir crazy but luckily, I had a few kits to play with during the storm...  I also had some time and made my 4 year old a giraffe to rival his sister's octopus.

More pages from Tunisia

I am really struck by the current political situation in Tunisia and Egypt in a way I wouldn't be if we hadn't been in the country less than 6 months ago. 

So, while working on these last few pages from our few hours in Tunisia, I'm keeping the people in those countries in my thoughts & prayers.
