How funny...although, I was noticing how strange you people in the north are...we call those things marshmallows you call them hot dogs... (just please....tell me you don't put mustard on those 'hot dogs'!
Looks like you had a lot of fun, but I have to tell you...freezing my self to death on purpose is one of the many reasons I don't do camping!

Sounds like a fun weekend aside form the cold weather. And those are marshmallows, not hot dogs. And that looks like a yummy strawberry one!
Sounds like an awesome silly weekend. And I'm with Nini, hope you don't put mustard on those hot dogs.
I should probably just act like I made a typo instead of explaining the truth. A typo would make my family seem a little less odd I think! But, I'll go ahead and explain anyways!!
You see, Heather was roasting the hot dog when my cousin thought of the "wasting tine" joke. By the time we stopped laughing at our own stupidity to decide that we really needed a picture (to use as our family's Facebook page avatar) Heather and everyone else, was done roasting hot dogs. But, Corey was roasting a very yummy (you were right Andrea) strawberry marshmallow. Actually, he had one on each tine, but we made him take one off so we could take our "wasting tine" picture.
So, yah, I probably should have went with the typo thing!!
Sounds like everyone had a fun time. Love the bathroom mirror picture and the fact that the girls still had their bike helmets on.
Heather and I always make our kids wear helmets. Tessa and Lydia (the ones with helmets on in the picture) were actually playing on the playground when we called them to have their picture taken. They just get so use to wearing the helmets while camping, they just leave them on!
They had a program at the campground, where if they caught you wearing a helmet (the kids anyway) they gave them a free coupon for McDonald's. Lydia got two of them! She was so excited!
My son has several issues having to do with his accident, and some that predate the accident involving his bio mom. One very strong one is darkness. He will not ride in a car at night unless he has a small flashlight... His shoes are special orthodic shoes that if not put back on properly can really hurt his feet. He has no idea why they take off his shoes and socks and belt...we told him it is so he can't run away..he has no need to know it is in the event he attempts suicide...but the simple thought that they feel it necessary to do that lets me know they must realize it is NOT a good thing to do to a special needs child that is highly medicated! (and both of his meds list suicide as a side effect!)
Sorry to go off on another rant!
Glad that your class was the best behaved class around! I promise...no more negativity! I am about to go to the Happiest Lace on Earth!

Jeanne, I'm so sorry that you are having so many problems with the school. It just doesn't make any sense to me how they can justify their actions. It sounds like the wrong person is getting locked in a dark closet!
Ah, I thought maybe you had forgotten about it, or didn't get an email about it's expiration, or that you thought we didn't need it anymore. Glad you're back and it will be working properly again.
No, it was my buisness site domain name I didn't renew in time!
Uggh!
Warning: lots of pictures (and they are not the greatest shots)
My daughter's skirt for Hoop Dee Do review. I wanted to make her a Jessie shirt but she said no.
A few days later I asked her if she wanted a Bullseye shirt and she looked at me like I was crazy. She thought I meant a shirt with the Target logo. I guess I'm the only one who has Disney on their mind 24/7. Any other ideas for a cute shirt to go with this skirt?
This is my first Insa. My DD will wear it to Epcot where we have a late breakfast with the princesses and then I'm hoping we get to meet Marie (one of her favorites). I knew she wouldn't want to wear the Belle shirt all day and I know this fabric doesn't scream "France" but my little picky one is not big on pink. I bought this fabric with no plans so I wanted to use it up. I'm hoping to make a non-Disney t-shirt and some PJ shorts so my DD can get lots of use out of this set.
Belle version:

I love these!!! Adorable Hoop De Doo skirt, and I love your versatile Marie and Belle!!!
K, got a couple more things done on the weekend.
First an upcycle for a co-workers daughter. And it's Disney related, something I very rarely have. It's a Marie cutie.

That upcycle is adorable!!! Do you use a pattern? I really like that shape.
I need to make cushions for our camper (so next year we don't have to sleep in a tent) Are they hard to do? These ones you made look really nice! (which makes me think they must have been hard!)
DD7 has decided she wants to be Alice for Halloween. (We got to meet Alice in Disney
and I think that has impacted her choice!)
So, I was thinking about the costume. I am thinking the Precious Dress for the main dress. Does this sound right? Does any have any thoughts on the apron to go over the dress?
Super excited to do this one!
Cute picture!!! I think the precious Dress is the way to go! We have the Alice dress that Tom made, and while I am pretty sure the Precious Dress wasn't out when he made it, that was the style of the dress.
Sorry, I haven't posted in awhile. I have been so busy w/homeschooling starting up again, being pregnant, hving migraines, etc.
I did find out we are having another girl! We r excited but have been amazed at how people act like it is a disappointment since it is not a boy and we already have 2 girls....kind of hurtful. I will need even more sewing time now.
Congrtulations Rochelle!!!!!! I think a third daughter is wonderful!!!!! People can sure be stupid though, can't they!
We are leaving early Friday morning (3am to be exact!). Hubby is a police officer. He got notice this morning that he has a court date on the 26th...we will be at Chef Mickey's. Since we are on vacation, he is allowed to have the court date changed. The person involved is upset that it is being changed because he gets to go on vacation.
Hubby doesn't get to choose the court date...it is chosen by the court clerk. He should get to take a vacation with his family too...
So, if you ever hear about a police officer having the court dates changed for a trial...please be understanding. Usually they don't get notified until 48 hours before the court date. They have a life too!
Off my soapbox now!
Nini
I'm so glad you are able to go!!! I am very grateful for police officers, and I'm happy that your vacation was not ruined.
-- I inquired when I first got my machine because I hated wasted stabilizer doing smaller designs with my 5x7 but the set of hoops was about $100 and wasting stabilizer is currently less expensive. A 4x4 would be nice for some things though. I don't embroider enough that I need two 5x7's.
Marie . . . and I love hearing that the Insa is simple and straightforward, since I think it's the skirt I'm going to make for Finn's friend for her birthday present (birthday was in August . . . 
)
