My van...to change the spark plugs you have to take out part of the motor...husband could give the correct terminology...but to change the spark plugs is....gulp.... over a thousand dollars!
I remember when we first got married I helped him change the spark plugs in the car for fun......

Yah - not fun. JOsh talked to the mechanic last night... ALL 8 of his plugs broke off... Just praying it's not much over the $600 he quoted us.
Love your pictures and your kids are just adorable.
I totally love your duck butt outfit.
Oh and I am going to do a haunted mansion themed outfit for MK since I have the amazing headpiece coming that is for me
We had to have our AC fixed in our edge this year.
Have fun at Target.
I have decided my workout cool down will be catching up on the Dis
Thanks Chiara!!!
Oooh - I am very excited about the HM outfit! I cannot wait to see it!
I hope you were able to do your "work out" yesterday. LOL
The vinyl covers for the MagicBands should arrive this week. I'll let you know how they turn out.
I guess Hot Topic is the place to go for cute Disney themed clothes. I've never been there but maybe I should check it out.
I love the duck butt shirt. That is so cute.
Are the girls excited about their upcoming trip? Is this Olivia's first trip to WDW?
Cool... I can't wait to hear which ones you ordered.
Some of the clothes at Hot Topic are cute -and some of them, not so much. But I do like to look.
Thanks!
My girls are very excited! Especially when they found out yesterday exactly how LITTLE time we have left.
This will be Olivia's 3rd trip... She went when she was 4 and doesn't remember that trip at all. Then she went again when she was about 11 - with a friend... That trip seemed a little laxidaisical and they never even made it to DHS - so she is pretty excited for everything we have planned this time.
Hey D~ It has been forever since I've been on the disboards but after seeing the pictures you've been posting of your outfits for your trip I had to stop by and say how much I LOVE all your outfits and accessories. Everything is awesome but I just adore the duck butt outfit. The shoes (great job Terri), the jewelry (adorable Erin), the bag (the best D~) and the head piece is is the cutest (great work by Jen). Can't wait to see some pictures of you rockin' all your Disney gear in WDW.
HI LIZ!!!!!! It's great to see you back! Thank you! I can't wait to share all of them too!
What really sent me over to your thread was the picture you posted from Valley Fair. I saw them and thought "is that Josh?" I had to get the back story and I'm excited to see that Josh enjoyed his day at Valley Fair with his girls. I know you can talk him into a Disney trip now that the girls are older - maybe an 18th birthday or graduation trip?????
Hahaha... Yup - it was Josh. I am glad he enjoyed it too. Maybe? I am planning - or trying to plan - individual Disney trips for each of the girls during the spring break of their graduation year... So, 2016 and 2017... We'll see. Hopefully it all works out.
Ladylyons - the pictures you posted are so adorable. Love seeing your family in their matching shirts and your daughter in her pretty dress and Pooh outfit.
Hope I can catch up and keep up to date over here....
Thanks for stopping by Liz - it's great to see you!
Duck Butt - the new Duck Head...
I knew they tapered but I was hoping...oh well, off a surfing I go to find that template.
Today feels like it should be Friday. Don't ask me why because I'm totally doing my Tuesday stuff at work, but just feels like a Friday.
Have a great day, y'all!
Hahaha... Yah.
Sorry I didn't have time to go measure or looking for the template for you yesterday - Target days are always crazy for me. Were you able to find it?
I hope you had a great day at work.
Im so glad you had a good time at the amusement park. It looks like everyone enjoyed themselves.
HIPPEE for Josh talking about Disney! Lets hope he decides he wants to go. Each stage with children is different but each one is just as enjoyable as the last. I wouldn't miss going to Disney at any stage of my childrens lives. I've been to Disney when my children were young and the characters were real. I've been when they were teenagers (they actually wanted to spend time with me and their father!). I've been to Disney when they were adults. There wasn't one age that was better. Each one was better in its own way. I really hope Josh decides he wants some time with his girls at the most magical place on Earth!
LOVE the duck butt outfit! So youre going to have a duck butt on your back, your head, AND your front! (That duck has some serious problems!)
I hope so too... I agree - they are all wonderful and all different. I've enjoyed every last one of them.
Thanks! Yes - I am pretty sure it's me who has the problems. LOL
Ok, here I go and I hope this post isn't too long for you. It will be longer than some of yours here!
Hahaha... It's not
that long...
So I'll just say i love every single outfit you have planned for each day! I do think the two Minnie outfits are my favorite. Just because I LOVE that bag!!! Love the pleat action and am seriously beginning to love polka dots more than ever.
Thanks! I am in love with those pleats... And the dots too! I know! I am having a serious, serious love of DOTS lately!
I'm so glad you were able to make another #10 bag, and what a cute bag it is. Very colorful and fun! Can't believe you got it done so quickly and in the mail. Nose to the grindstone for sure!! The Alice bag is beautiful as well.
Thanks!!! Yah - last week was crazy... I was a puddle on the floor by Sunday night. LOL
I'm glad you decided to drop CM and do DTD instead. You didn't say if Olivia objected to missing CM, but I'm assuming if she had you would have said something. Besides, splitting up would not be a bad idea anyway.
Well, BFF hasn't talked to her yet - that I know of... I have told BFF though that it is our plan to ditch CMs and do DTD. But it's totally OK with us if they want to keep CMs and do it alone... My guess is that she will come with us. But we will see... I am sure the girls and I will be more than happy to split upat this point.
You were talking about the smell of coffee and candles. I put coffee beans in a saucer and put a votive candle nestled in the beans. Smells really good! (I saw them do it at Crate and Barrel and thought it was a great idea!)
Oooh - that is a great idea, I will have to try it!
I have the same problem with selfies! I cannot push the button. The stupid phone slips to the side and it's just a hot mess. I do love the pic with you and Josh. You can tell you're having a great day together!
YES!!! THis is exactly what happens to me too! I cannot do 2 things at once.
What fun for Josh to want to take you to the amusement park! Looks like a great time was had by all. Well, except maybe for Alli when she was being held to get splashed. But I'm sure she was laughing along with everyone else eventually. It would be so wonderful if you all could go to Disney as a family one more time. Sounds promising!
It was fun - we had a great time! So glad he decided to do that with us.
Thats all. Sorry so long, but I had a lot of catching up to do and so many beautiful things to comment on. Carry on.
NO worries - it's always great to see you here Lois, thanks for taking the time to catch up.
I just love all of your outfits, especially the Minnie Mouse one!

Thanks Ann!!! I am loving them too!

Ok - so I worked at Target... That is all. It went fast - which I like.
Afterwards... Let's see... I had to run to the nail place - I broke one of my pretty blue nails yesterday at work, I thought about leaving it, but then I know my nails and it would look really bad by the time we needed to have them done for Disney. So, I ran over after work and my nail guy was kind enough to not only fix it for me, but put another layer of gel over the top of the rest of my fingers, then he didn't even charge me for it. I left him a very generous tip! It was super nice of him, because my broken nail wasn't even with in the time where they "warranty" their work.
While I was there, I made all of our appointments for Disney... 4 mani/pedis and one full acrylic set (for Alli).
Relieved to have that done and out of the way.
Then I went back to work to pick up Alli from her Starbucks shift... Yah - this is going to be bad. I just cannot resist a coffee made by her...
Very thankful I only work one day per week, because those drinks are sooo full of chemicals and crap... Ahh, but I love Alli and she is so cute behind that counter, I just cannot resist those little hearts she puts on my cup. And it so funny... Even though I work at that same Target store, whenever I walk into the Starbucks... Everyone calls me "Momma"... LOL It's kind of cute.
After my treat... Alli and I came home and I made dinner... We had salads. Num!
Then, I started with my layers upon layers of sealer for my Magic Band... A little sneak peek for you all... I really love how it turned out - even with the dots not having clean edges... It's as good as I am ever going to get it - so I need to be happy with that.
And then... This is the best part...
I was able to get the darts fixed on V's dress... Now I am NOT a dressmaker - not in the slightest... And dresses with darts... YIKES!!! So, after many fittings this week and last, I was finally able to fix it - for a while there, she wasn't even going to wear it - and I was sooooo sad... I bet I have at least 40 hours in this dress, and for her to not wear it, broke my heart. But now I have it fixed and she is happy to wear it - and I am a happy Momma. I am still waiting for a few pieces of it to come in the mail... After those come -I will share pictures.
Then... It gets even better... V had the brilliant idea of wanting a Villians custom for this trip... Well, I didn't have time to applique a bazillion Villians, so I decided it would have to be done with my embroidery machine... Well... After searching high and low, we could not find any PLAIN busts of the Villians as a complete set from anywhere or everywhere... It drove me crazy that none of them matched, and the worst part is NO ONE had an Evil Queen - and she is V's favorite... So, sadly, we had to ditch the Villians outfit idea - this time. So, we decided to do something else instead... and OMG!!! It turned out soooo awesome! I love it and she loves it! I cannot wait to share it with all of you! Hopefully I can get a few pictures of it today.
I have one last outfit to post - and that will be our departure day... Um yah - we were distracted by her skirt last night, and completely forgot about the 'Ohana bag. LOL Tonight... We must finish it tonight!!!!
Oh yah - and we recieved some Pixie Dust in the mail yesterday too... Miss Jennifer of Princess Pie sent each of the girls one of her used ears from her trip... It was just the sweetest thing ever!!! So, I need to get pictures of those too... We just love them... And believe it or not - they were actually FIGHTING over one of them... Yes, my girls... Fighting over who got to wear one of the ears. LOL Finally they agreed to share, reluctantly.
My agenda for today...
I will be doing Level 2 of the 30 Day Shred this morning. Kill me now.
Then l be working on my last custom order all day. I still have a bit of it left to quilt, then I will work on the appliques... There are 2 detailed appliques on the front of this bag - so, it will probably take me all of today and most of tomorrow to get them drawn/pieced/stitched out. It's gonna be a cool bag though - it's a theme I've never done before.
Tonight- the 'Ohana bag is one the agenda... It must get done.
I am also mostly packed. WHOOT! Our countdown it getting very small!
I hope you all have a wonderful, wonderful day!!! Prayers and good thoughts to all of you!
D~
I'd just grab my shirt for that day and a pair of shorts and off we'd go. So I thought I'd share some things Erin made for us. Not only do they do necklaces but she made me some shirts and I purchased from her one of V's dresses that Sarah absolutely loved!!!! We got nothing but compliments on them all!!
You are tempting the heck out of me! 
But yes, it would indeed be difficult NOT to support such an incredible barista! 
BUT you are D~, how could I have doubted your expertise and impeccable planning skills? 
All eight spark plugs.
