we're back from Disney

October flew by in our household. I spent much of it away and Carl spent some of it sick. Luckily, everyone was healthy for our trip to Disney World. We went for six nights and seven days and stayed in the Coronado Springs resort. The girls absolutely had the best time. They loved Small World, Peter Pan's Flight, Pirates of the Carribean, fireworks, Finding Nemo, etc. They ADORED meeting the characters. Carl and I bought them each their own autograph book which doubles as a photo album. I just need to get all of their pics developed so that I can slide them in next to the corresponding autograph. We did a character lunch with Winnie the Pooh and friends, a breakfast with Lilo and Stitch and dinner with the classic characthers at Chef Mickey's. We ate at some other really great places as well (I highly recommend the dining plan). I loved that we were able to find so many characters hanging out in the different parks...the girls thought that was great. Laney LOVED watching tinkerbell fly from the castle. I loved being able to spend time with the fam uninterrupted for a full week!

As a special treat on Halloween, we took the girls to the "Pirate league" where they were made up to be pirates. Laney loved it. Alie was excited to be a pirate, but wasn't so sure about having her make up done. They looked adorable when they were all finished!

And in other news, we're the proud owners of a dog. We adopted a three and a half year old english bulldog. His owner was moving away and couldn't take him due to weight restictions in her new place. The girls and Carl spent some time with him while I was in CT and we were able to bring him home yesterday. So far, he's been such a good boy!

Now, to catch up on all of my work!
