So Here's my Round up for February
What books and/or magazines did I read this month?
Unfortunately I did not get to read anything except for magazines and children’s books this month.Reading for the month of February: Family Fun Magazine, Real Simple Magazine, Scrapbooks, Etc., Creating Keepsakes, Simple Scrapbooks, Parents, Parenting, and of course the MTA Magazine.
What movies and/or tv shows did I watch this month?
Grey’s Anatomy! Hubby and I have so much fun watching it whenever we can (uggh) this strike sucks.
We are typical Big Brother fans but we had a bit of a hard time getting into this season. We don’t seem to be missing anything.
What special days did I celebrate and how?Valentine’s Day was spent at the Garden Grille in Epcot. Our Disney trip was so much fun!What illnesses or health concerns did I have?
We were all very healthy but Jake is still working on getting his eye teeth in. Ugh, the poor kid is drowning in drool.
What fun things did I do with my friends and/or family?
February was sort of a boring month I guess, we didn’t do a lot. I felt like the weather was going to drive me crazy for most of the month but at least the sun has been out the last few days.
Once February vacation came we were off for Disney World. After much preparation, we were finally in Lake Buena Vista having a wonderful time. We stayed at the Polynesian Resort and had a magical time. We spent most of our time at the Magic Kingdom. Valentines Dinner was at the Garden Grille in Epcot and we spent one day at the park formerly known as MGM (Disney’s Hollywood Studios).
After we spent 5 days soaking up all that Disney has to offer, we spent a few days in New Port Richie visiting Hubby’s parents. The kids had a ball swimming and playing with Grammie and Papa. We also had a lot of fun visiting the Aquarium of Florida. Thank goodness for February Vacation!
What new foods, recipes or restaurants did I try this month?
None
What special or unusual purchases did I make?
I mellowed out on my spending in February after I went crazy in for Christmas. We needed to start watching what we spent right before vacation.
What were this month's disappointments?
A little depression on my part, because I have not been able to get motivated to get anything done. The house needs cleaning, no motivation for school work, and not even any motivation for scrapbooking. What is a girl to do? Of course, travel silly !!!!
