A Happy Dog's Summer of Sea and Shore - *cough,cough, nudge nudge* 7/11

Yay!!!!! Maybe we can start the song 99 days of bottles I mean days of Days til Disney on the calendar!!!!

OK. Really going to the post office today.
Tired of that box in the back of my car....
In fact have 3 others that need to be mailed as well!!!:laughing:
 
Hi everyone! You may have remembered me saying back a few months ago that my DS8 was cast in the school play as Tolouse in The Aristocats...

Well, here are a few photos from the show! It was three performances, and a lot of fun. Mostly 4th, and 5th graders but a few 3rd graders were able to participate. Their identities are pretty well obscured with all the makeup!

Here are just some random shots of my son and the rest of the Aristocats...

Of course I have two "kittens" -- and the other was out in the audience with me... I had to keep kicking his chair to get him to stop singing the songs LOL!!! :laughing: He has already announced that he will be in the play when HE is in 3rd grade... :rolleyes:

IN TRIP PLANNING NEWS...

FE was ordered, and so were two "patches" which I will be adding to the pirate fabric drawstring backpacks I am making for the boys...

DisneyCruise2011333.jpg


I will share when they are done! I have lots of goodies to fill them with, but will share that when I actually have them made and filled!!!!

Cruise was paid off last week, so now we wait to make reservations and get the formal paperwork!

Can't believe we are at 99 days today!!!! :yay:

Next week I will share my FE ideas!!! I am planning to make a couple things for the FE, so I have to get the supplies in the mail, first! :thumbsup2

 
Woot Woot!!! YAY for being 99 days away!!!

Loved the pictures of the play!! SO CUTE!!!!

The trip is paid off. That's got to feel good! :dance3:

You have two cute little cool cats. :thumbsup2

Happy Double Digit Day!
 
what did you end up deciding on your FE? I can't wait to see it. I haven't decided on what to do for ours yet, she's working on more Alaska designs so I'm holding off but thanks to your enabling somehow I've ordered Evan and myself aprons. Interesting how my mind went from FE to pillowcases to "hey, do you do aprons?"

:rotfl:

It's all your fault.

YAY for having it paid off, I paid a huge chunk on ours this week, the rest is due in a month so it feels good to be in the home stretch on that part, now I can think about the FE, pillowcases and excursions!

Very cute cats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Great feeling to have that trip paid off!! :yay:

Very cute cats. I haven't seen that movie in forever but remember loving it.

You are so creative with the backpacks. I've forgotten - do the kids know about this trip?

Very intrigued with the whole FE concept. Can't wait to hear what projects you selected.
 
Ah, your little Toulouse is adorable!!! I bet it was an adorable production! I would have had a hard time not singing along as well!

The pirate bags are great! Can't wait to see what goodies you fill them with!!!

Yeay for paying off your trip! We have just a little bit left to pay on our trip. I should do that this week, so I can do a happy dance! :laughing:
 
Happy 99 days till Disney!! :yay:

Thanks!!!! 98 today, but I'm not counting ... :rolleyes1

HA! Yay, 99 days till Disney on the calendar, 99 days until Disney.. :laughing:

Oh that would be really nice! Thanks WigD, really thanks again, I am really excited to be able to dress them up! They'll have a blast!

Happy Double Digit Day!!! :woohoo:


Yay! I know! Finally. You are a lot closer than I!!!

Woot Woot!!! YAY for being 99 days away!!!

Loved the pictures of the play!! SO CUTE!!!!

Thanks, Jen! The kids did make a cute collection of cats, dogs, mice and geese!

The trip is paid off. That's got to feel good! :dance3:

You have two cute little cool cats. :thumbsup2

Happy Double Digit Day!

We could have waited a little longer but I didn't want there to be any confusion about when I was able to book my reservations!!! The real "bill" hasn't come yet, but this is the month we had the $ budgeted to pay it, so when the Disney card bill comes, out the $$ goes.

Thanks! The kids all had a great time. Grif loves being on stage.

OH don't you drag me into this.... :rotfl: I know, I know, she has some great stuff, right??!! :thumbsup2 Easy to decide you need this and that! I didn't do the pillowcases, because they just get signed, and the kids don't get to interact with the characters to do that. And they have never been interested in that. So I may see if they want to do autographs in the future, but for this trip I asked her to make me two "patches" with an applique and their names on them, which I will in turn sew onto the backpacks I am making...

The FE will be here in a month or so I bet, so I will be posting pics when I get it!

Yes, it is nice to have the bill paid to Disney because now we can see the options and things to do... It seems so far off still! Gotta get through Spring break!

Hi! No, the kids don't know. So it is a surprise, yes!

I have a couple simple projects I think I can do en masse!



Ah, your little Toulouse is adorable!!! I bet it was an adorable production! I would have had a hard time not singing along as well!

It was fun! The kids really liked it. His ears were a little big for his head, but his tail was a lot of fun! He "played"" with it, like cats do, on stage. It was funny! He likes being on stage, good personality for it.

The pirate bags are great! Can't wait to see what goodies you fill them with!!!

Yeay for paying off your trip! We have just a little bit left to pay on our trip. I should do that this week, so I can do a happy dance! :laughing:

I have several things, some I bought on the past trip and on the cruise, so I will share when we get to the end of my TR! :thumbsup2

Well I paid Disney! I still have to pay the credit card bill!! :laughing: But that is budgeted for this month anyhow, so it is money already spent sitting in the account waiting. But yes, it is nice to have it done, because it makes the trip feel closer, right?!

::yes:: And completely real like it is really going to happen.
 
What an adorable kitten Griffin makes!!! I bet that was cute little production.

I paid off my cruise this week too, just like you, I put it on the credit card and now will have to actually pay for it when I get the bill next month. :laughing:
 
Your son is such a cute Aristocat! The kids look like they had a great time.
Plays are so much fun to do with children.

Paying off a vacation is the best thing ever! Now you know it has to happen. :laughing:
 
Griffin is just the cutest cat ever!!! I'll bet you had the best time with the entire performance!

Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for the FEs!
I need help!!!

That is a great idea on the patches! I'm trying to think of an idea for Eric but am wracking my brain. She's making me a chef's apron for Evan with Chef Goofy on it which will go in his Easter Basket but I'm at a loss for Eric. I could do one for him as well but I kind of want this to be just for Evan. She is making me the cutest retro half apron with Mrs.Potts and Chip, I'm so excited for it!

Good point, we have to pay the CC as well :rotfl: But that's in the works. The boat is so pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Cute cat!! Looks like it was a fun production!! :goodvibes

Can't wait to see your FE and the rest of your creative items you always come up with!! :cool1:

::yes:: And completely real like it is really going to happen.

I know! But still a bit of time away ... tick tick tick!

The Aristocats are adorable!!

Yay for being paid off!! :banana:

Thanks! He had a great time on stage.

What an adorable kitten Griffin makes!!! I bet that was cute little production.

I paid off my cruise this week too, just like you, I put it on the credit card and now will have to actually pay for it when I get the bill next month. :laughing:

It was very cute, only 50 minutes long, very fun!! They were all very cute. He sings well, it was fun hearing him sing the jazzy songs and "everybody wants to be a cat" :laughing:

Oh I know, that is exactly it! LOL!! BUT I guess we also get those additional Disney visa points (every bit helps!!) We had $240 or something like that which came in handy for our bar bill... :laughing:

They did have a great time. Griffin is no stranger to the stage, but he is also not shy... so he is a fish in water when it comes to theater!

Just glad to know I can book reservations in a few weeks!

Griffin is just the cutest cat ever!!! I'll bet you had the best time with the entire performance!

Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for the FEs!
I need help!!!

Thanks, WigD! Just a little 3rd grader, but plainly in his element. I did all the makeup (well I did the designs, and parents helped me do the faces)... Griffin was a champ, he even let me put eyeliner on without freaking out! LOL!! He didn't flinch. Shoot I can't put it on myself without poking my eye :laughing:

Well, I am making magnets and probably wrapping candybars, too... magnets are going to be easy, and not too costly. Should be reasonable but I must confess the idea of making 24 or so is daunting!!!! :eek:

Well the apron sounds adorable!!! :) I think that is nice to have a little something special for one and something different for the other. I think she does hats and other things.. They are going to be squares, which I can sew on then trim myself to hide the edges... Looking forward to it!

Good point, we have to pay the CC as well :rotfl: But that's in the works. The boat is so pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know, what a subtle detail, right??!! :rolleyes: Well points are good too... It really is a beautiful ship, and I can't wait to see it again. DH actually says he liked the Wonder's Midship lobby area better.

Thanks! I hope to have it in the next month or so, I know she has lots of other orders, and since ours isnt until June, I won't expect to see in before May.

Looking forward to it though!!! :) I am even sewing some other things for us...
