Disney World 09/2011

In September we took the kids to Disney World. It was their first visit and needless to say - they had a "magical" time! We did all that we could do with a 2 and 4 year old....and all that we could fit into 7 days. We stayed at The Wilderness Lodge which was really convenient getting to and from The Magic Kingdom. The kids loved riding the buses and boats! Here are some of the highlights of the trip. I think Kaitlyn's favorite part was meeting all her favorite characters, getting made up like a princess at the boutique, and of course, having dinner with the princesses at the Royal Castle! I think that was my favorite part too. The kids can't wait to go back!
Day 1: We headed to Magic Kingdom and who did we find - the princesses! Kaitlyn's day was complete!


Day 2: Animal Kingdom. We happened to see Pocahontas. She was so nice!

Having mommy's pudding....

We had to go on a hunt to find Jasmine, and Aladdin happened to be with her! Kaitlyn was elated!

Meeting Mulan in China at Epcot was fun and Brady even got a hug!

I think this was her favorite character Meet and Greet!

Riding the classic Dumbo ride!
At Chef Mickey's

Goofy was such a character!

Tinkerbell!!

Princess Makeover at the Castle...SO CUTE!

Seeing herself all made up looking like a princess. This moment was so priceless!

Snow White made it to our table

And Ariel...her favorite (for that day anyway...)

And Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)....

After dinner I got a great pic of Kaitlyn outside the castle in her dress...

Day one - On Main Street!

Project 5 Task 1

 What are the benefits of blogging for students?  There are many benefits of blogging for students. Students can use blogging to express what they have learned about a specific topic in the classroom. For example, students have been learning about marine animals in science class. Students have been following the nesting of sea turtles in Hilton Head Island. They have each chosen a nest and have been following it on their website. Every few days, students read the progress of the nest online and then create a blog post on what they read and include images to share with their classmates.  Another benefit to students blogging is for them to be able to express themselves creatively. Students can create a weekly poem blog post where they find a poem they like, copy it to their blog post (citing the author and resource where they found it) and then summarize the poem and write about why they chose it and what they liked most about it.  Click the link below to access the Pr...

12 Days of Pinterest: Day 8

Day 8: 12/17/12 Ok, so I apologize for the break in my "12 days of Pinterest" posts. My parents were in from Ohio the last 5 days and we were busy celebrating Christmas (early) and doing all the St. Louis holiday things there are to do (lights, train displays, Christmas concerts....you know!). Today I am doing a something that when I saw it on Pinterest - I knew I HAD to do it! We have a ton of ornaments. They are currently on our tree (duh) but when they are in storage the other 11 months of the year, they are kept wrapped in tatty tissue paper in shirt boxes that are falling apart. Every year I say "I am going to get one of those "ornament organizers" (the ones you see at Target and Home Depot)....and every year when I go to buy one, I go into sticker shock! How can a piece of plastic that holds 12 ornaments be $20! Of course we have more than a dozen ornaments, so I went on a hunt for something cheaper! Here it is! It cost me $2.50 to make. I used cardboa...
