ugh that is such a sad story! Just makes my heart break and reminds me to be so grateful for my healthy kids.

I am so happy for you and Joe and the family that all went well at the appraisal! I cant belive how fast the trip is coming up. You may have posted this and I missed it but what are you thinking or the girls outfits!? Did you make any shirts? I am debating that and would like to make some shirts for our whole gang but really not sure how to do it!!

We received your package the other day but this week was spring break and the girls have been staying with Granny & Papaw. They are home now and I will let them open it tonight. I will be sure to take some pics. They are going to be . Thank you so very much! You know if you and Dale want a night out the same offer applies!

I can't wait to see the pix . Thanks for the offer, that is so sweet . I hope ya'll have a good weekend, I will be slaving away at work .

I know it is a sad story. That's why I felt I had to post about it...most of my DIS friends are Mom's too and it really makes me appreciate how blessed I am to have two healthy kids.

I know Nickie! This trip is going to be here in 6 weeks now! I have so much to get done! I have bought the girls a few things and then there are few other things I'm working on...I hope to get them done. I'm going to go through everything I've stashed and try to post some pics in the next few days. I'm thinking about making some shirts this year. I've seen some cute iron-on appliques on etsy.com and I've also seen some really cute stuff I like on the DIS signs board. I'm thinking of giving some iron transfers a try. I have some reading up to do before I do it though. That board has some specifics in the sticky's on how to do it and I just haven't read all about it yet. If you decide to make some let me know and be sure to post some pics!

Congrats on the weight loss girl! You are rockin' it!!!!

Whew! This has been a busy week! I'm glad to have the appraisal behind us. Now we just wait for a closing date. So, without much ado here is what we've been up to when we haven't been running in circles...

About two weeks ago we stopped by Kmart to pick up a few things. They were having a Little Pet Shop scavenger hunt. The girls thought it was a lot of fun running through the store looking for Little Pets. After you found everything you returned your sheet to the front to be included in a drawing for three limited edition LPS tigers. Of course we turned our sheet in. Late that evening, we got a call that Lindsey's sheet was drawn and she won! She was . Here she is with her prize tiger..

A close up of the tiger...he's really shiny and marked. I had her put him up after she ooooed and ahhhhed over him just a teeny tiny bit..

Last weekend was Easter of course. We woke up to Easter baskets from the bunny and he left some eggs behind in the back yard. Here are my girls with their eggs...

We went to church after that and boy was it packed. We each put one of the girls on our laps and they had to put chairs in the entry ways for about 100 people. It was good to see everyone there and it was a wonderful service.
It was a beautiful day here and we spent the rest of it spring cleaning. We had planned to go to the zoo but when the appraisal went from the 16th to the 8th we thought we better get to work.

So that takes us up to yesterday...I was MIA because I had to make some cupcakes for the 1st b-day party for a friends (C) daughter. This friend is very particular (you know always perfect in everyway and with everything) so these cupcakes stressed me out. She wanted me to match the invitation which had bright colored daisies. She wanted her daughter initial's and the number 1. Well then she sent me a picture of cupcakes with forget-me-nots. I got confused sent her all of my cutters and let her pic and she still picked forget me knots. The shape of the fmn's was going to be hard to monogram as the centers are small leaving little room to write on. So I made the cupcakes and the flowers but when it came to piping the monograms I hated how they looked. I messed with it for hours last night. I just didn't like it so I assembled the cupcakes without the monogramming and called my neighbor and her BFF (K) to come over this morning. Since C was so adamate about the monogramming I wanted K's opinion. Anyway, we decided to just do it on a few...she didn't like how it looked either. Here's the final product....I like the colors but I hate that I ruined the flowers with the writing...

The last thing I want to share is some pixie dust the girls were sent from a wonderful DIS friend Dana (racefanof88). The girls loved everything Dana! Thank you so much for sending it! They are thrilled with everything...you did so well!!!! Here are some pics.

Hurry up Sissy open it up and let me see...

Ooohhhh lanyards how cool!

Let me see, Let me see!!

Isn't this stuff the greatest!!! Thank you Mrs. Dana!!

Really, Dana thank you so very much. It was so nice and kind of you to think of the girls. They are so happy with everything.

Today we will be chilling out. Both girls' softball practices were cancelled due to a tournament on the fields for boys... I hope to get caught up on everyone's TR's and PTR's. Hope everyone has a wonderful sunny weekend!!!!!!!!!!

Let me get my schedule together and get with Joe and I will propose a day or two. Are you thinking the boys would hang out at the pool while the girls play??

 

[longing2Batdisney]

Great update! Leanne
the pictures are precious as always...the cupcakes came out great! I hope she liked them! I, too, prefer the look w/o the writing; but, the ones w/the writing do not look bad just better w/o!

Sounds good. I think Jeff with that as long as there was beer involved.

 

[MaryAz]

Yay for cute pics posted!! Sorry she was so picky about the cupcakes. I think they looked cute! Very colorful.

 

[kcandbella]

I think the cupcakes are adorable! With or without the writing. I hope your friend was happy with them!

Thanks Connie! She did really like them. I'm with you - no writing looked better.

Beer will be Joe's motivator too. I'll see what he has to say...
