A DISmeet here..a DISmeet there..Our August Southern Tour- Final Posts - #544!

[mommy2mrb]

Such a FUN day!!! Have a great time with your little Beauty proud Mama!!

she did great....most of the big items I already had seen at home when she was working on them, still nice to see everything she had picked to share with me!

Let me guess -- Megan has to dress up as a Scientist and you are buying some fusible hem tape to make the outfit

J/K -- you know I you, Isa!

you are so funny Andrea.....her science project is a plant cell...so cute up some strofoam - man I hate that stuff, little pieces everywhere----and using different parts and pieces to make her cell...no fusible hem tape involved, but do have lots of duc tape

ya too A!

Love everyone's pictures.

Um . . . get ready, because we're here! And we're here until August 13th, so I'm hoping I get to see you LOTS!!!!!

Well, as I mentioned above, the boys & Mimi & I arrived in RI at 5:45 tonight. We left Charlotte last night at 11pm and I drove from exit 80 on I-77N in NC until the 1st Cracker Barrel in PA on I-81N. . . which we arrived at about 6:30am. From there my mom & I switched off a lot . . . it just took FOREVER to get here Oh well . . . we're here, and here in time for the big Memorial Day Parade so the boys can ride on the firetruck in the parade with their cousins!!!
I won't go back to Charlotte until the week of our DISMEET!!! We have family and friends coming at all various times to RI this summer, so it just made more sense to be here so we could see everyone (and DH has to work 6 days a week this summer, so we'd never see him even if we were home in CLT).

Got your text too! Sounds like someone went shopping

Marianne - I am relieved to know you made it to RI. That would be fun to fly into RI to meet you... I wish I could take that much time off of work and sewing... I guess I could bring Patience and hand crank her in the car on the way. Shrug... HOw did the C25K go yesterday? I am anxious to hear all about it.
?

Sounds like a plan



OK.... what is C25K

Cool cell! I love the button nucleolus! Very creative! I cut all my styrofoam outside -- by the curb so it blows away from our house! I do cut it inside a bag so as not to totally mess up the environment, but even so those little pieces seem to get everywhere!

OK.... what is C25K

I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't know! I had to look it up -- it's Couch to 5K in 9 weeks. Apparently a program that starts you walking with small intervals of running and eventually you are supposed to run a 5K I'm not a fan of running so I didn't investigate it any further. Though yesterday I put on a pair of shorts I wore last year and there was no way I could even zip them up Perhaps I should start running! Seriously, I am going to have to make the time to work out and walk again b/c I can't afford new clothes right now. Or maybe I could sew two pairs of my shorts together to make a skirt Sorry, couldn't resist! I promise I am not making fun of you and your sewing and I both the $15 scared per pair shorts that lasted a few hours and the skirt and am thrilled you repurposed them in such a cute way.

thanks Michelle!


Andrea...Megan is so happy you knew what the button was she was worried it looked funny, but she loved the button and wanted to use it!



tonight is dance rehearsal and photos afterwards...so happy her studio does it this way, only have to do her hair/makeup twice instead of three times

I am going to post Megan's dance photos from over the years....stay tuned....

First of all - I just love the scrapbook! That is just amazing! Look at how adorable little Megan is!!! Sooo sweet!

And her cell project turned out great! Both of my girls had to do the same thing in 7th Grade... I can't honestly remember what Allison did (ACK!!! And it was only last year!), but Victoria made a pillow on her sewing machine, then used a whole bunch of sewing notions for the "parts"... She did get a very good grade on that.

Lisa, I love the memory photos of you, Megan and Jim. Very, very sweet.

for the weekend

going to have a lazy morning before getting ready for Megan's dance recital today!

will have dinner after the show with whoever plans on joining us...Megan will have quite the fan club including her proud mama, grandma, 3 uncles, two aunts and two cousins...my FIL was supposed to come too, but his best friend from childhood passed and the service is today...Megan was very understanding he needed to be there for the family he's known for 60 years!

have a great weekend everyone!

 

[KatMark]

Lisa, sounds like a great afternoon/evening -so many are coming -- have fun. So glad that so many are coming to see Megan.

I love that you got to go to the school to see all of Megan's work. Her cell looks perfect. The dance pictures through the years and how you scrapped them. So fun to see her grow up. Hope Megan had a wonderful performance.
