Disney

Whew!!! We are back home. We had a wonderful time at Disney with Dave's family. We went to all the parks. The kids had a grand time at the Magic Kingdom. I have to say - we did not miss a ride there. We did it up right. We all ate too much food - except for Monica that really does not eat. She is the only one that was able to loose weight on this trip. By the way, she is the only one that is really in shape too. Maybe we should all eat like her. Oh well, there is always next year to try to get off some weight. Cole and Katie enjoyed spending time with Kyle and KC. The weather was hot and wonderful. The kids did not seem to miss a week of school at all - imagine that. We did homework every morning to stay caught up.
On one evening we had dinner at the Coral Reef. It had been a long day and everyone was tired and ready for dinner. We had to wait a long time to be seated. Then we had to wait even longer for our simple drink order. The meal just began to snowball from there. Our waitress was not all there and really could not pick up on body language or even verbal responses. It was so bad that we all became quite funny. Nanny even began to fold the linen napkin into a hat and put it on her head. She is not this type of person - very by the rules kind-of gal - especially in a resturant. Once we had dinner, we were all ready to bolt. The food was great, or as Mike said "Fine."
I have to say that this was a wonderful vacation. One that the kids and myself will never forget.

Funny words

Sometimes my kids can say the funnest words. This morning it was so foggy outside that it was difficult to see. Katie says, "I can't believe how froggy it is this morning." Cole agreed that it was very froggy. Katie sometimes says allergy for alert when playing battle with her brother. Cole says that he takes durteck (Zurteck) for allergies. They were singing, "The weather outside is nightfull, the sun is so delightful, since we have no place to go, Let it snow." Well, at least they say I love you just right.

Swim Lessons

We had swim lessons for the first time on Thursday. Both kids really need to learn how to swim. They are taking lessons from a very sweet girl named Hannah. She is a swim coach and teacher. Needless to say, she has experience. Cole was in tears as soon as heard about the lessons. Katie was pumped up and ready to go. When we arrived at the pool, Katie began to cry. Cole was trying to be very brave. She taught them the proper way to enter the pool and talked to them about the difference between the deep end and the shallow end. The lesson started with the dead man's float. Katie was up first. Katie floated and then Hannah told her the proper way to keep her head up so that her ears were under the water. Katie did not like that one bit. Hannah then told her that she would count to ten and then help her up. As soon as Katie's head was floating, Katie began to count. Hannah then informed Katie that she was the teacher and she had the right to be the one to count. Th...

Fire Crakcer, Fire Cracker, Boom, Boom, Boom

Today is News Years Eve. The kids and I spent the day at home making a cake. David went to a football game. We gathered at Marty and Jennifer's house along with the Brake family (who are moving tomorrow to Boston) and all ate soup and cake. As darkness fell, we took to the street to shoot off LOTS of fireworks - most illegal. The kids had a ball running around with sparklers while all the women watched for the cops! The husbands would light and run. Yes - it was a grand ol' time celebrating New Years Eve in the south! Too bad the Brake family are moving up north - I bet they will never see such a show up there. Well, heres to a new year.
