Disboutiquers Part 7 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[Tinka_Belle]

Well my baby girl is starting Pre-k tomorrow. I can't believe it! I'll get some pictures tomorrow, but my mom finished her nap mat today. Thought I would share, it turned out really cute.

Now back to bed, I haven't been feeling good today. Really hard to be down with 3 kiddos.

That is so cute.

The visit with Jenna's dad went fine. After he rescued us from my stupidity we talked for awhile. Two police officers stopped to see if I was getting robbed. I told him a little about her and she was continually jumping around in the car and opening all of the doors and running around. Typical Jenna stuff. He really seems sorry for not being around for so long and wants to be here for her now. That is the reason that he moved back here. He looks exactly the same as before and to be honest we were able to talk like there weren't any missing years. I will hold him to his word and will do everything that I can to make sure that she gets to see him as often as possible. I hope he means it because I can't handle him breaking her heart. And tomorrow is Jenna Bug's birthday and he wants to take her to dinner at Chuck E Cheese's. Her favorite place.

Mrs. McKenna that room looks fabulous.

 

[ncmomof2]

So cute!

Is there an online place to get this fabric since I have not seen it in any stores?

I wish. I have been searching for it for several months now! I'm overcome with envy whenever someone posts a new outfit with it. If anyone ever wants to sell me some and put me out of my misery...

and not to leave my brother out (he must be riding for help--in his socks? )

Anyone else see this and think "the Griswalds?" Fantastic pics

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Sorry you aren't feeling well but that is a fantastic nap map. I absolutely want one (for myself mostly )

So glad she finally met him!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY To JENNA. Sending her a and a from Boston!

I have joined YCMT and downloaded my first ebook but Vista will not open it!

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

oooh, those are good! Now I just have to decide which sister he gets to match! I have it planned so the girls don't totally match...but its going to be cute, I can't wait to get started!
I like the Raglans also, but as we are going in Early September, the less sleeves, the better!
I have an entire drawer of hats no one will wear, so I learned my lesson there!

With only one girl...that was easy for me...I made her match her brothers...she was great about it. She is 9 so LE is really out there for her to wear, but she has been caught watching and enjoying with her brothers. She wanted to match them everyday no matter what they wore. I made her a stripwork mini skirt seperate from the shorts, so she could take it off if she wanted to, which she did becasue she got hot. It had both of the fabrics in it.

I bawl on the 1st day of school every yr! What can I say I actually mss my kids when they are in school then add to the fact each 1st day of school means they are growing up just a little more. Ok now I can't get that song let them be little out of my head! any one who wants to have a good cry with me here is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ17tutZtd8

Thanks for the good cry!!!!

I always cry on the first day...I miss them so much. But it is fun having some alone time with Timmy. After moving this last year, the kids got to have a first day twice. We had the moving thing down to taking place over the weekend. The last day at thier old school was on Friday, new school, Monday and we closed on the house and moved in that day while they were at school. It was tramatic for all of us!!! I cried all the way to closing. DH thought I was nuts...it still bothers me now, seeing their faces, mainly Katie's. she had been with the same kids since she was a kinder...ugh...crying now!

Where did you see the Little Einsteins? I thought they were only available at the character dining! Thanks!

They are outside the playhouse disney show. I give great directions to get there...ready...go in DHS, go to the big hat, hang a right, go thru the big arch thingy, turn right, there they are...nope, don't know the name of anything there!!!

So Teresa, I don't think your idea of a trip to Disney World is weird at all! Guess what my sister and I decided all of our kiddos are getting for graduation gifts?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

A big fat trip to Disney with their mommy and Aunt Nise! Or in my kid's case a big fat trip to Disney with their mommy and Aunt Kerry!

For some reason Jordan went for the idea, but Kerry's son who is graduating this year wants to go hunting with his stepdad. I am still trying to talk him into the trip with Aunt Nise, but I'm not having so much luck yet? What is wrong with teenage boys nowadays?

Oh, see I think there should be a trip for all major milestones...turning 16, graduation, frist year of college...you know! I am working on all of this now!!! I think DH knows what I am up to!

I've been looking for a LONG time too with no luck! When I told my friend in Oregon she knew of a Joann's that had it and of course went back for it and was all gone!

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

Love these pics! Can I say, my DH's family had a "boat" just like that one...he still wants one now!...uh...NO!!!

Well my baby girl is starting Pre-k tomorrow. I can't believe it! I'll get some pictures tomorrow, but my mom finished her nap mat today. Thought I would share, it turned out really cute.

VERY CUTE!!! She will be the envy of every kid there!!!

Wow! That must have seemed very strange for you! I hope he has decided to become a good father and does not break your heart of her heart either!

And... HAPPY BIRHTDAY JENNA!!!!!

You've got 10 months, that is pleanty of time to learn to sew!!

Thanks for the good laugh!! That might have been true for our last cruise when I was a SAHM, but in a week, DS starts kindergarten and I go back to work full time. Whatever spare time I have left after commuting, soccer, groceries, and grading papers (I'm a teacher) I don't see spending learning to sew!


Heather made Sawyer a really cute Prince Charming costume. I don't remember what pattern she used for it though. She may come along and give you some advice. I think there are pictures of it in the Photobucket account. There are also pictures in our trip reports, (he wore it our first day in the parks when we went to 1900 Park Fare).

ETA: Since he's so cute, I decided to post the picture:

Obviously, he's a bit smaller than your son.

He is really adorable!! I remember those days My baby is now 4 feet tall and 50 pounds with a size 13 foot!

 

[Stephres]

Wow..you ladies are really talented. I can't sew a button on to save my life! It's sad but true. I love the little outfits and tops..they are so darn cute! I've made a few hairbows but those are only beautiful in my 3 yr olds eyes!

I know it's just an expression but I had hard time sewing on buttons until Denise told me a trick: glue it on first. Then it is much easier to sew. Thought I would pass that on. Welcome!

Wow! That looks great already! Can't wait to see it all completed.

Sorry about cancelling your trip.

OK..So I have decided to try a Pre-Trip Report...just wanted you all to know, since I spend most of my DIS time at this post

Hope you enjoy it...it's my first one and a work in progress.

http://disboards.com/showthread.php?p=26905080#post26905080

Thanks! Hey, you got your sig fixed. It looks great!

Are you sure that's for a preschooler? It looks so beautiful you could use it!

I hope you feel better today.

So cute!

Is there an online place to get this fabric since I have not seen it in any stores?

Sorry! I bought what was left of the bolt when I bought it. I wasn't even sewing at that point and thought I should just buy it all!

Pssst...if anyone wants to vote for me again today that would be great! You can vote once a day from any youtube account. I'd write a super detailed trip report in a timely fashion if I won the trip to the DL dream suite! www.youtube.com/disneyparks My username is robnkris05 and the video is us as family of the day at Epcot. You vote by giving it a thumbs up!

 

[minnie2]

OMG I have tears thinking of Jenna being old enough to get married. Nope my little baby with the soft black curls will never be a grown up. (Jenna was born with black curls just so you know.)


That skirt is too cute. I have some of that fabric left over. I might have to make a skirt or a shirt with it.

The DUCT tape is for their mouths. JK, but that is an odd item.

LOL on the duct tape!

George has the kids programmed to say they are never getting married.

So, I don't cry so much on the first day of school, but when I clean out their closets that is a hard day for me! It's not that I don't sometimes feel like crying on the first day, it's just that I try no to. Last year on Drew's first day of Kindergarten some friends and I went to the boats and gambled! It really helped, plus I came out even when I was almost out of money right when we had to leave!!!!!

Now I did feel a little bad when Drew's teacher called to ask me to bring her some new pants because she had an accident and I was almost an hour away in Kansas City, MO. I felt like a jerk showing up to pick her up wreaking of cigarette smoke from the regulars at the Ameristar!

My sister asked me if I was "gonna be too drunk to come up to school" the next day to top myself. Oh well, no mommy is perfect!

So Teresa, I don't think your idea of a trip to Disney World is weird at all! Guess what my sister and I decided all of our kiddos are getting for graduation gifts?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

See that is a great idea! Keep working on he Denise!

AS i sit here i can hear Camden Kj and Logan downstairs fighting like animals probably over some stupid game on the computer What is wrong with Boy's in general..

Argh !!!!! Sorry to vent..

Oh I have been there! vent away!

 

[karebear1]

I have been way too on-topic lately, so here are WAY too many Sawyers and Tessas.

I "borrowed" (okay, I stole it for a few days) my dad's camera and took some pictures of the kids out in the yard.

Here's an example of what most of them looked like!

But, I also got a few of these.

These were taken later that day when they were outside playing with Daddy.

Our garden. This is our first garden and we tried to cram way too much stuff in a little spot!

Okay, I'm almost done, I promise! My dad bought this little house for $50 at WalMart (for the grandkids, this is next door at their house) and Sawyer was "helping" him put it together.

Heather- I was looking at these pics this morning and my DH Jim came in and asked who you people were- I told it it was Heather family and that you lived in MI. You know what he said? "She has beautiful children". I kid you not! So........ now it's official! You're kids are really beautiful!

BTW- Your dad got a SCREAMIN' DEAL on that little house he built for the kids! I was at our local Walmart last week and the original price on thqat baby is like $350.00!! I remember because I was looking ta it thinking it would be fun to get for the grandkids myself.... but there ain't NO WAY I was spending that much money on it! I'm gonna have to go see if ours are marked on clearance yet!

poor Riley...I'm glad you've been able to advocate for her. Her body needs a break from the constant infection cycle! Are you pumping her full of cranberry juice? I hated the stuff...I thought it was actually medicine! But it helped...according to the doctors. I am proof that there is hope though...I grew out of the constant infections by about the 7th or 8th grade. I never had them again the way I did when I was young. Doctors did caution my mom that pregnancy might cause a recurrence of the issues, but that was the only time they anticipated I might have issues with bladder/kidney issues.

Hope Riley has a super first day at school! Drew too in her sparkle outfit!!

Cranberry juice really works well for me. .... and if she can't drink the juice because she doesn't like the taste- there are cranberry pills she can take that do the same thing and have no taste. Has she tried these yet? Might help her while she's off the anti-biotics anyway?!?!?

That is just sad ! I am hoping that My Jayedyn wont go through that stage, I highly doubt it since she is our only girl..

Ya know i would not mind uniforms at school so much it would save on clothes for my big family but they would have to have at least a fri as a free day so my kids could wear there customs..
and to help you vent DUH don't schools realize that us parents NEED to know these things Before school starts....

Speaking of lunches Made me wonder what my kids had for breakfast and lunch let me see....
Breakfast:
Pancake/sausage on a stick , Either Coco Roos or Crispy rice Banana and choice of milk
Lunch: choice of
Beefy Mac or
Taco Salad or
Cheese Pizza or
Bologna/cheese sandwich or

Mandarin chicken salad
Choice of Milk
Dessert A piece of chocolate cake

gosh better than what i had ....

This whole post brought back a flood of memories of the first day of school for me when I was a kid and for my kids when they were young. I'm getting SO OLD! Of course, the fall time is my favorite time of year- always has been. New school year, new school clothes, cooler temps, burning leaves, color change in the leaves, Halloween..... yep! Fall is by far the BEST season around!

Teresa, Jham, T-beri and Heather- I go away for 1 day and you girls just go at each other like there's no tomorrow!! How many times do I need to tell you to play nice?? You will only have each other in the hard times. Is this anyway for sisters to treat each other??? Now.....say you're sorry and give each other a hug.

 

[mom2princessizzy]

Ok you two...you are clearly more intelligent than me I thought the book was way too wordy! Maybe the problem is that I knew the story before I read the book so i didn't care what happened next...I knew what happened next! Maybe I will try one of the other ones

Are there other DisBoutique readers???? Maybe we should start book reviews over on the Community Boards. I read a lot and love suggestions.

And Stacy I will definately meet you for Wicked or any other show for that matter. I'm only 3 1/2 hours by car/ 25 minutes by plane (yes, I'm that lazy!) to NYC and I love seeing shows! They are offering a deal thru Disney Visa right now to see Little Mermaid, Lion King, and Mary Poppins for really cheap (yes, you see all 3). I was thinking about going and just doing it. DH actually said he would go with me. SHOCKING! But then I remembered that I'm supposed to be saving money for the DISmeet in Feb!

I haven't read it but my SIL is a huge Wizard of Oz fan and I know she really liked it. I don't think she had seen the musical prior to reading the book. That always makes a huge difference for me. I can never get into a book if I have already seen the movie first and already know what's going to happen.

 

[mom2princessizzy]

Okay, a little off topic, but we WERE on our way to Disneyland. This is for you Teresa! A while back, I don't remember what we were talking about, (maybe families that act goofy in pictures?) but I remember telling a story of my family running out of gas in the desert outside of Vegas and my dad had to hitchhike to Vegas for gas and while we waited we took pictures of us pretending we were dying of thirst. Teresa said she wanted to see the pictures Now that I think of it, the whole conversation may have been over on her TR. I am still trying to clean my craft room (hmmm, wonder why it is taking so long? ) and I found (and scanned) these:

That is my big sister with the long red hair, I'm behind her with the pigtails (and bows of course) on the right is my silly mommy and behind her is my little sister. My brother took the picture, making sure the car was not in the background for authenticity.


Here is my dad filling the tank upon his return. I'm the babe with the short shorts (terrycloth) and the skinnyish (compared to now) legs. That is my cousin Kent in the red tank top with the comb in his back pocket. I learned to drive in that boat--I mean station wagon.

and not to leave my brother out (he must be riding for help--in his socks? )

OMG those pics are priceless!!! How funny!!!

 

[mom2princessizzy]

Well I am still alive I have just been painting. I am so sick of seeing dots to say the least. But here is what I have been doing. All the dots have the first coat so I had to share! I am only doing them on two walls and they will have a "ribbon" of paint under them that waves and has the 5 little monkies poem written on it. Two of my walls are just the light blue paint and I think other than the ribbon with the words that will go all around the room they are probably going to stay that way. I still have to do a second coat on about half the dots and then go back and clean up the lines, but at least you can get an idea of it now.

WOW! That looks awesome! I can't wait to see the finished product!!

Well my baby girl is starting Pre-k tomorrow. I can't believe it! I'll get some pictures tomorrow, but my mom finished her nap mat today. Thought I would share, it turned out really cute.

That is so cute!! I love the fabric she used too!

 

[minnie2]

I cry at the first day of school too! Even though mine are just in preschool it still makes me sad. And I hate the thought of Grace going to kindergarden next year (I'm red-shirting her this year, her birthday is only 5 weeks before the cut off).

I feel bad when I pack away their baby clothes too. Lilly is already starting to out grow a few things and I hate it. I even get sad when she outgrows a diaper size !


All of the schools around here I think know not to contact the Moms in the area on the first day of school. Last year I was invited to 3 different parties for first day of school (there is a clever name for them but I can't remember what it is) and all of them involved drinking. Some Moms are drowning their sorrows and some are celebrating!

My kids have driven me crazy today. If anyone would like a three and five year old they are for sale, cheap, and there is a no return policy in effect! So far today they got finger nail polish on the new built-in in our game room upstairs (I was downstairs nursing and didn't even know that Grace had nail polish in her room - thanks to the weekend visit by my in-laws ), again while I was nursing (this time in my bedroom) they decided to show off for the contractor and electrician who were working on my house how they could walk up the outside of my spiral staircase (um, hello, if you saw someones children doing this wouldn't you stop them?????? I know they aren't their children but I'll get a picture of my staircase when all of the work is done and show you how high it is) and Claire decided to take off the part of the bouncy seat that Lilly looks at while she sits in it and smashed her in the face with it. It has been a joyful day around here. It is starting to make me rethink crying when school starts in two weeks!

Oh no! i hope today goes better

1.)I'm glad you agree!!

hey, wait a minute! Are you being sarcastic???!!!
2.) That's what Mom's are for.
3.)Hey missy watch it, I know approximately where you live!
4.) Yes, Tifani Nicole, that WAS mean!

Now, where is that little violin smiley that I can play for you??

Ah, here it is!


I hope no one thinks we are serious!!

Man I missed this banter! I love sarcasm! LOL

I read the book because I have hopes of seeing the musical one day. I couldn't stop reading it, but it was because I wanted to know what happened next, when it was going to get good, etc. It was just meh for me. I can't wait to see the musical! Next time I make it to NYC, you will have to make a trip down and see it with me!

I believe it is playing in Chicago too!

I bawl on the 1st day of school every yr! What can I say I actually mss my kids when they are in school then add to the fact each 1st day of school means they are growing up just a little more. Ok now I can't get that song let them be little out of my head! any one who wants to have a good cry with me here is the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJ17tutZtd8

[QUOTE/]
i am so stressed ds5 starts kindergarten the day after labor day. he has always gone to school where i work(prek teacher) not in my class but still i can peek my little head in and see him. i will miss having him near me and this song, is so sweet.

Teresa-Jenna was a very beautiful baby. Atleast I think she was. She looked just like her daddy. Who she finally got to meet tonight. She was very happy to meet him.

I took Jenna out to dinner and on the way back the car ran out of gas. Yes I know I should have put gas in it, but I've been busy. Anyways DH couldn't get away from work to help me and her daddy is the only other person in town that I know with a car. He called me earlier tonight and asked to see her and he told me that if I ever needed help I could call him. Well I took him up on the offer.

I really feel stupid for running out of gas.

Wow how did that go?
