Pictures look great Leanne!! I wish my guys could get into something like that. I just gotta resort to watching disney movies on my own, and working on my Mickey. I need to take pictures of him, but he's still a work in progress. Maybe I can do that tomorrow. I need to do some pictures of me too. At the 20 lb mark. They take pictures at work when we start, and put them on our bank's internal page, and my buddy Linda said looking at that picture, she can REALLY see the difference in my face. My 12's are getting loose, I think it's almost time to hit up some thrift stores for new clothes!!! Anyways....ya'll getting ready for Easter? I got my step daughter coming down on Thursday when I go pick up Tyler, I"m getting her too. So I gotta figure out 2 easter baskets, and do easter eggs....oh yippee!!! HAHAHAHA

Dana you are too much! Is there something I can pick up for Dallas from his Kentucky girls?

. That is so sweet of you, but I can't think of anything.

Hi Leanne! Your Disney nights look fantastic! The girls obviously had a great time. Emily wore her Princess Tiana costume/dress to eat dinner and watch the movie, but wore the same t-shirt as your girls, the rest of the day! I wonder what she is going to want to wear for our UP night!!

They did have a great time. The girls want princess Tiana dresses but I haven't seen any at the local stores that aren't too cheesy. Where did you find Emily's? Can't wait to see what she decides to wear for UP!

I bet you are looking great Christie! You're kicking but on the weight loss. Can't wait till you do a reveal and let us all see some pics! I'd like to see pics of your Mickey too. I have so many projects in the works: crayon roll ups, water bottle slings, custom dresses, a countdown calendar, and autograph books. Whew...I hope I get them done in time. I need to go through everything I have so far and see what I have left to get for the girls. I'm not going shopping for myself until we get closer. I hope I have another week like I did this week. I'm down 4.2 lbs this week. The gym is starting to work!

There isn't anything we can do for him? Is there any new Bakugan stuff he's wanting?

 

[racefanof88]

Your Disney nights look like so much fun . I, like Christie, can't get my guys to do that. Dale's idea of a Disney night is sitting in his recliner, drinking a beer and watching ESPN.......

I can totally understand what you mean about your dining table. The history that surrounds that table can't be replaced . I think it is great .

Girl, he has nine trillion of those things . I see those Spires coming after me in my sleep . I keep thinking he is going to get tired of them, but no such luck .

Thanks Megan! We're enjoying our family time Disney style. Will we get to meet the other folks travelling with you at Illuminations on the 22nd? I'd like to meet Alisa and Randy too since we've followed along in their recent travels. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with for your Disney Nights. You will be posting pics right?

My SIL, BIL, nieces, and sister wll be with us for Illuminations on the 26th. Randy and Alisa, if I am remembering correctly, aren't having a park day that day. They should be getting into MCO around 4:30, so they are hanging in their treehouse and going to DTD that night.

Yep. I'll be posting pics of our DIsney nights as well.

How about trying an ESPN Club night. You'll be incorporating the watching ESPN since it's always playing there. You could check out the menu and try to make your own versions of what they have. The Macho Nachos are just so YUMMY!

You're doing good on the weight loss too woman!!! 4 lbs is GOOD!!!! Shoot, I get happy over a half a lb anymore!! Maybe this weekend I can take some pictures, it would be nice to be at 20 lbs when I do the next picture tho. It feels weird, some days I still see myself as normal, and other days, as skinny. Ah well. I should have a busy week, the new accounts girl is on vacation, and the floater is at another branch, so it's me and the other teller...yippee!!! Good thing they've trained me on new accounts, I just would rather play with the money!! HAHAHA Have a good week, you'll get your stuff done, just prioritize!!

Y'all I went crazy at verabradley.com this morning! They are offering an extra 20% off sale prices. I've been holding out on a new backpack for a couple of months now...I just couldn't hold out anymore...

LOL! Gotta love a good VB sale! I hope you post what you got. What do you think of the summer stuff? I love all the new patterns...I am holding out on getting a tote in the new Night and Day. So cute!

Your Disney nights look like they were so much fun!

A close up of our table. Excuse me while I go OT for a moment: my Dining Room table was my Grandmother's-I ate at it as a little girl and now my little girl's eat at it as well. Everytime I see a picture it makes me think, "we could really use a new dining set". I just can't bring myself to do it when I get to the furniture store. That old set has a lot of character. 14 kids, 37 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren dined there at one time or another before I got it. Would be a shame to see it go...

I love that about your table! I would want to keep it too. We used to have Mike's mom's old dinning room set and I would have loved to keep it but the chairs became so unstable I was afraid a chair would fall if anyone sat on it. I don't think it was made out of the strongest wood. From what I can tell of yours though, it looks like it's pretty solid.

For our meal we had some Ohana fare: grilled steak, veggies, noodles, and mushrooms. Inspired by Alicia (cinderella crazy), the girls and I made some chocolate covered strawberries and added some pineapple for another flavor. To drink we had some light Hawaiian Punch. I put it in some bright colored cups and put umbrellas in the drinks. The girls loved the umbrella's.

Aww, thanks Leanne! Mmmm...Chocolate covered strawberries! I love making them because the strawberries are good enough for you that it outweighs the chocolate that you put on them. Right? At least that's what I'm telling myself.

Love both of the Disney nights! Looks like everyone's enjoying them!

No bday gifts are necesary....Way to go on the 4lb!!! Have a great week!

 

[Bridora]

Your Disney nights look like so much fun! I like how you theme the whole night...from the decorations and attire to the food and crafts! Can't wait to see what others you do!

 

[MHTeacher]

Leanne--You are too smart and crafty!

I love everything about your Disney night! Your girls are adorable.

Maybe you could have a Disney night around Dale like Megan suggested. Sure makes me appreciate my girls though. I guess Joe is outnumbered and just goes with the flow. He seems to enjoy it too. He picked Mulan this week. I'll have to come up with something fun for that.

Thanks on my table, it isn't pretty but it's really special. I have the rocking chair she rocked me in as a baby as well. It looks a little better than the chairs for the table but she kept it in immaculate condition. Grandma's been gone 15 years now but I still think about her all the time. She was somethin' for sure.

I have to come up with something...if you don't tell me I'll just do it on my own...

My SIL, BIL, nieces, and sister wll be with us for Illuminations on the 26th. Randy and Alisa, if I am remembering correctly, aren't having a park day that day. They should be getting into MCO around 4:30, so they are hanging in their treehouse and going to DTD that night.

Bummer on Randy and Alisa but cool that we will get to meet your family!

Great idea Megan!

Hope the week stays busy so you don't miss your guys as much! Keep up the hard work on the weightloss...you're doing great!

Thanks Sarah! Can't wait to see your pics of AKV. We are so excited to stay there!! I will be sure to post pics of my purchases. I got a lot of neat stuff! I love the new summer patterns. I'm holding out for a sale on the new patterns. I just can't justify the extra $$ right now. If they go on sale though, watch out!

I love that table. It is solid for now. I need to buy a house with a finished basement so that I can still have it and yet have something a little nicer in the dining room. After buying DVC last week I don't think I will be able to talk Joe into that anytime soon.

I told myself those strawberries were good for me too. We are having a lot of fun with our Disney nights. Gotta work on my plans for Mulan night...chinese food is easy enough. Just need to come up with an activity and something for the girls to wear. If you have any ideas, feel free to pass them along.

No bday gifts are necesary....Way to go on the 4lb!!! Have a great week!

Hope you have a great week also Mary! Still have my fingers crossed that you'll get the room you want.

Thanks B! We're doing Mulan next and after that I don't know. I'll let one of the girls pick what we do for the weekend of the 10th. Joe will be working again.

Leanne--You are too smart and crafty!

I love everything about your Disney night! Your girls are adorable.

Thanks Michelle! We have a big time at our house.

How did I miss you mentioning a 4.2 lb weight loss???!!! Keep on rocking Leanne!
