Life in Mommyland

Holy cow I'm a slacker! I'm not even going to try and make promises to update more often either LoL! Semester is over, finals are graded and I am kid free along with school free until the end of May! *woot* Thankfully I'll be school free until August. I am looking forward to when the boys get out for Summer break so we can have some fun at White Water and the pool. But I am enjoying a quiet house too (with the exception of the washer and dryer running).

I finished the semester with good grades but not straight A's like I strived for. I struggled a lot this semester actually but in the end I truly think my brain grew a little bit more :) I took two finals yesterday afternoon and finished them with one A and one B (not bad, right?). Ending my Spring semester with two A's two B's!

We went to DisneyWorld in March and had a wonderful time! The trip there was not fun, we dealt with rain the entire way. Saturday night we couldn't find a hotel room anywhere along the way, so we were forced to drive through the entire night and arrived at The Animal Kingdom Lodge at 6:30 a.m. dead tired. We had planned to spend the night somewhere in Florida and finish the drive in to Orlando on Sunday morning, NOT drive all damn night! If you haven't been to the Animal Kingdom Lodge, DO IT! I highly recommend it!! It was the most wonderful experice ever. I've never stayed at such an awesome hotel before. Everything was truly amazing! We were treated very well, the hotel was gorgeous and the grounds were breathtaking. The Savannah view from our room was unbelievable. Every morning we saw so many animals from our balcony. Giraffe, zebra, gazelles, ankole cattle...etc. The sunrise safari we took was incredible too!

We purchased a Disney Photopass cd with all of the pics the photopass people took of us on our trip. I love the photopass! There are people stationed in every park all over in various "picture perfect" locations. You walk up and they give you a card with a code on it, they take your picture(s) and scan your card. By the time you get to your hotel that evening all of your pictures are ready to be viewed in the lobby! You use the same card the whole trip and then when you get home you can go online and edit the pictures and order them if you like. We pre-purchased the CD which wasa pretty good deal and then when we got home, we were able to edit our pictures with fun captions, graphics and whatnot. Then we ordered the cd and it arrived a couple weeks ago!
