Disney Day 4 - a much needed day off!

After our first trip, we learned never to plan a busy day after staying up late for the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom.  In an ideal world, we would have a one day on, one day off plan for the parks.  While I know many people love Disney vacations, I have heard many people say that they are so exhausted, stressed, etc...during a Disney trip.  I know for us, these off days save us from burning out.  Every moment of our vacation wasn't perfect, but honestly most of it was so great.  Relaxing and having fun. 

So, day 4 was spent hanging out at the hotel and the pool.  In the afternoons, there are organized games for the kids around the pool, which our girls loved.  



Addison was always doing gymnastics - even in the water!

For lunch we decided to walk over to the Art of Animation Resort for lunch.  We had wanted to stay at this resort, but no rooms were available at the military rate during our stay.  After walking over there, we were satisfied with staying at the Pop Century - the Art of Animation was SO spread out!  The restaurant also seemed smaller than the one at Pop Century. It does look like a fun resort though!



Back to the pool after lunch!



Lucy's turn to swim!


She loved the water!


After naps, we headed to our favorite quick-service restaurant - Wolf Gang Puck's at Downtown Disney (on the Marketplace end).  Not many quick service restaurants that are so delicious and have local, organic ingredients.  Yum!


I love our little family!

Curriculum Review 2017-18

                                  Curriculum Review 2017-18 I believe I started last year's post by saying "This was the most difficult school year to date." While overall it was a good year, it was different kind of difficult.  A deployment and chronic mastitis were replaced with starting a new Co-Op and writing a book.   While I don't know that I would recommend writing a book in 10 months while homeschooling, during one of the busiest seasons of your husband's job, I am thankful for the year we had.  The past year brought more personal growth for me than any other year.  Homeschooling truly is a refining fire and I am thankful for the lessons we all learn in the process.   Here’s a roundup of what we used this year and how it worked for us: Addison – 5 th  Grade Bible, History, Literature, Geography & Writing – Tapestry of Grace, Year 2, Dialectic...

Blogs are interesting.  Some share decorating ideas, some political philosophy, some day to day happenings and many more pictures of family and friends.  We keep everyone updated on the fun events and happy occasions of our everyday lives.  While some people take it a bit to far, I think most of us are not always so quick to share those not so happy moments though...  The moments that we fail completely as a parent.  The moments that we are to busy to stop and help.  The moments we sit in silence and wonder why.  The moments when life is just flat out hard.  In a few weeks I will watch my husband go off to war.   In a few weeks I will have to help a little 3 year old mind grasp how long a year is and how far away daddy will be.   I just found out this morning that my aunt passed away.   Next week the list of names I know on headstones at Arlington will get a little bit longer.  I ache for my friends whose husbands won'...
