DDA Chapter 6

[UP Disney]

My girls and April do not mix when it comes to haircuts!

Molly decided this morning that she needed a haircut, so she gave herself one.

It's certainly not even but it's the best I can do! It took us so long to grow those bangs out.

What is it about kids and haircuts? Luckily, my kids never did this but I've known so many little girls that have done this.

2....2.5 hours? i know i can get there ! feel like a houseguest any time soon lol

Any time!

The cake looked so good that I had to go get a snack I did opt for a weight watchers muffin, but that won't do much good with the other junk I've been eating.

Thanks! I hear you. We need to get back on track here.

I did not go to the Baseball game. We did go to Texas Roadhouse. I only ate part of my salad and a roll. The rest of my food came home. Then I had some of my brother's Birthday ice cream cake that our Mom made..

I am watching Desperate Housewives now and then will probably head to bed.

Night all.

Sorry you didn't make it to the game.
Ice Cream cake, Mmmmmmmmmmmm!

Robyn - the pink cake and everything else looks great!

Thanks Elin!

Robyn thanks for sharing Molly's birthday pictures! You are all killing me with the cupcake & cake pictures, they look so good

Thanks Janet!

OMG that is too cute Pink and Purple are Olivia's favorite colors


Happy Birthday Molly

Thanks Jennifer!

Hope he's up for school!


WOW!!!

Can I come next weekend?

Emma would LOVE that! She says she's going to live in Alaska because she wants a husky but she HATES the cold. I think she'll figure out that you don't have to live there to get a husky.


Happy Birthday Molly!!!!

Everything looks wonderful!

Goodluck getting it done!!

Thanks Bernadette! And I love the pants, shirt and outfit. The fabrics you got are so cute.

Post 15,000 for me

Please remember, my house is the same age as me....

This is the yucky color it was before...

Basically, anything would be an improvement...

This is without the hardware and stuff. I still have to put the baseboard up, but it is so bright and organized, I like it a lot.

Looks fantastic!!

So we are changing our dates.

Jeff thinks it will be cooler and less crowded in Sept. We thought about going for our Anniversary but free dining stops on the 20th. Our Anniversary is on the 28th.

We are now leaving the house on the 13th driving to Houston to see an Astros game at 6pm. after the game drive to the other side of Houston. Stay overnight at a hotel, get up around 5am and head to Disney. Arrive late on the 14th stay thru the 22nd and head home. Thinking of doing MNSSHP on the 16th.

How does this sound?

Sounds like a good plan! You'll be there for my birthday!

​

Congrats, I like the new siggy!

Good Morning!

Robyn, thanks for sharing picures of Molly's party. The cake looked great! The cupcakes were really cute too!

Steffy, your kitchen looks great! A coat of paint sometimes does wonders!

Bernadette, your becoming a sewing junkie like me! Everything looks great! I have a Lightning McQueen outfit to make for Leighanna yet too! I really like how yours turned out!

I have been so busy with work, and other things that I rarely get enough time to post anymore!

Off to get Leighanna ready for school.
Leighanna is having issues with some older kids on her bus, so I have opted to drive her to school, and pick her up. She is starting to get anxiety attacks, and she is making herself sick just thinking about riding the bus.
She used to love the bus, but all it takes is a few rude kids, who like to pick on little ones to ruin the whole experience!

Have a great day all!

Thanks Tom! I was wondering where you were. I am so sad to hear that Leighanna is having trouble on the bus. It is insane that the school will do nothing about the bus situation. Give her a from me.

Three weeks from today I will be getting ready to leave for the airport to head to Disney!

53 days! Wow, I can't believe I'll be at Disney in 53 days. We are going to have so much fun with my niece & nephew. My only concern was whether my sister was going to listen to me about the rest in the afternoon. She seemed to think it wasn't necessary. Well, she took her kids to an indoor water park last week-end and told my mom afterwards that her kids were going to need a rest in the afternoon while we are at Disney! Yeah! She understands!

Glad she came around. That was our biggest mistake. Well I should say it was Eric's biggest mistake.

Pictures from Molly's celebrations..

Robyn, wonderful pictures! It looks like Molly had a really great weekend!

I slept in this morning and that was the only relaxing that I did. Chris and I started prepping the house for sanding the drywall. We spent 4 hours taping paper over the new flooring in the halls, removing everything that we possibly could and covering what was left with sheets. We even taped the bedroom doors closed so that no dust could get through the cracks It took us a couple of hours to sand, then we let the dust settle a bit and started cleaning up. That took several more hours. The good news is that the bedrooms remained dust free. The bad news is that the ceiling and one wall crack needs another coat of durabond I'm not excited about that. The kids are off this week and I'm hoping that I can get the hall and entry painted and back together. Our appraisal is on the 21st so it would be nice to have that area completed. I'm hoping that I can pick away at it. I also have to work 5 nights this week The money will be nice, but It will slow things down here.

Tomorrow I will try to get the ceiling painted and maybe just maybe catch up on laundry.

Again, you have me exhausted!

Here are the kid's sleep pants. I forgot to make the pattern big enough for the elastic casing and hem so I had to add cuffs. I was able to find a coordinating print for Emma's. They all loved them!
I also bought a PDF file for an ALine top. I made one for Lizzy first to practice on:

I still need to refresh myself on how to do button holes. Lizzy tried it on and it looks so cute!

Here's Emma's Car's A Line top and I made shorts to go with it.

Everything looks wonderful! I'm so impressed! :

It looks great, and I'm sure it's so nice to be in freshly organized!

I'm so sorry to hear about Leighanna's bus troubles! I hope things resolve soon, it breaks my heart to think she dreads it so much!

[tmfranlk]

Janet - Love the new furniture! I'll bet it would look great in your house.

Deb - Nick's room looks wonderful! I really like that bedding, etc.

Debbie - I love the stick figure design. So cute!

Vicki - Prayers and for your family. I hope your uncle is doing better soon and the biopsy results for your cousin are good.

Anne Marie - Yeah for packing!!!

Marci - Congrats to the boys on the good games. I know what you mean about ODing on Disney Channel. On some school breaks or weekends I have to beg Rachel to please, for the love of God, let me change the channel. There are only so many episodes of the same show I can take at a time.

Stephanie - Glad your kitchen is done! It looks wonderful all bright and cheery. My mom wants the kitchen done so badly, but it will just take too much right now.

Robyn - Happy belated birthday to Molly! I hope the party was fun! Ack to the haircuts! Sorry your growing out work was for naught.

Amy - I probably missed it before, but how was the Fancy Nancy party?

Jen - The possible port excursion sounds great! I would be all over that one.

Bernadette - Love the sewing projects!! All very cute and the fabrics for the new projects are cute too.

Jennifer - Sounds like a good plan! And if we end up going in Sept we'd be there the same time!

Tom - Sorry to hear that Leighanna is having bus issues. I'm glad that you can take her to help easy the anxiety especially with so many years ahead of her.

Elin and Janet - Congrats on the big milestones!

Theresa - Watch your mail this week!

I received my Mickey's Mom club kit today! Along with some brochures it also came with 2 trading pins(Tinkerbell YOAMD's), mousepad, magnet for car, stickers, & the DVD planning video. I already have the video & the pins, but what a special treat to get in the mail today

Guess I can spread the magic at Disney & give the pins away

ETA: forgot to add the nice photo included of Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Donald, & Goofy!

Good morning, DDA! Another seemingly crazy weekend, though I don't know what happened. The best part though is that I don't have to rush through my taxes today. Apparently, due to the local flooding lately they've pushed back the deadline for our county and a bunch of others in the area. I still need to do them ASAP, but at least the pressure is off for today since the to do list is already massive.

Cool! I got the email the other day that they were being mailed and was wondering what it would be. Sounds a lot nicer than I was anticipating. Maybe we'll get ours today too!!

Bummer. I didn't sign up for this. I suppose it is another thing that I'm too late on!

 

[bear74]

Tia what are your dates, and where are you staying?

[tmfranlk]

They will probably be Sept 12-20 and we'll be at Sports.

 

[Tammi67]

and all around. I've read, but am running out of time to post.

Today after work I am leaving to go to Pittsburgh. I have to probate my uncle's will, so I need to physically be there to do that. I'm flying up today and back on Wed. No way was I going to drive. Now I'm realizing that I have 2 parties in less than 2 weeks, and one weekend to get everything done. Unfortunately that weekend is booked with activities. Yesterday I wasn't feeling so well so I spent the entire day lying around.

If I'm not around much, know that I am thinking of you all and sending good thoughts your way!

Robyn sorry about the haircut! Riley liked to cut his hair when his was younger

 

[tinknme]

Have a safe trip Tammi!

That's exciting!!

What is it about kids and haircuts? Luckily, my kids never did this but I've known so many little girls that have done this.

I had a charge cut his bangs down to the scalp, smack in the middle so there was no way to hide it or even it out.
Robyn - It will grow back eventually. It doesn't look that bad.

Marci - Speaking of mail, did you decide to mail the tickets to my work address? Just wanted to know where to watch for them! Thanks again!!

I hope it all goes smoothly, Tammi!

Thanks!

Hi,

Hope all of you are doing well.

I decided to stay home. Not necessarily because I do not feel well, but more so because I did not want to drive again today 2 hours or more. I did take a nap though.

Tammi- Have a safe trip.

Robyn- Great pictures of the party, sorry that Mo decided to redo her hair. It will grow back, better after the party then before.

Tom- Good to see you around. for Leighanna. Sorry the kids are bullying her.

Deb- Great redo of the rooms.

Jennifer- Glad to hear you are still hanging in there. Hope work isn't too bad.

Bernadette- Great job on the clothing. I should make myself some pajama pants then perhaps they will not look like high water pants.

Jennifer- Hope that your trip is cooler in September, since you rescheduled.

Jen- Your excursion sounds neat. They actually have dog sledding in NY, NJ and some other local places. Obviously not in the summer though. Although there was still snow on the Blue mountain Ski area on Saturday in the 76 degree weather and they have not been open for a month.

All of you going on upcoming trips have a good time.
