I keep meaning to come and update the PTR, but life is so crazy, if it's not one thing it's another.
I haven't been teaching much, not a lot of work. I've been spending FAR too much time browsing DIS and not getting the things accomplished that I need to lol.
Right now I am in the midst of working on V's birthday cake for her party on saturday. I made a high heel shoe (looks like crap but oh well) and I made the cake today. Tomorrow I teach in the morning and then after that i will be in cake decorating disasterland getting it done for her party. Eeeek I hope it turns out ok.
This week I celebrated 4 years with V, I kinda just realized today that monday was the official 4 year mark. I start with her just before she turned one. Here is a pic of her my second week of work
(this is probably like the ONLY time I ever let her fingerpaint!) Next week she turns 5! OMG I want to cry. Her parents are so excited about her growing up and the new things that she will accomplish and I swear I'm the only one who wishes she would just stop and freeze, it's going far too fast. Yep there are the tears! I am an emotional wreck this week.
Tomorrow a load of dirt is being dumped in my driveway. My dad order 4 big bags, one for my garden and the rest should be for redoing the front lawn and filling holes and such in the backyard. So after V's party on saturday, I need to get going on the garden it needs to be planted next week. My garden last year did not do so well so I am hoping for better results this year with a different layout, and hopefully better plantings. We did get 2 insanely HUGE yummy zuchinnis last year and some chives, but seriously that was like it. (oh ya, one baby carrot!) so that will be sat afternoon/early evening and sunday.
Last weekend I did Momma Minis in the park. I am a photographer and trying to start a side photography business. Last week I photographed 6 families focussing on moms as the theme was mothers day. Now in the works is some fathers day photo sessions and a princess Tea Party, both of which need to get done in June. I have one more family to edit photos for Momma Minis.
http://erinlorrainephotography.com is the website if you are interested. I'm still pretty new and starting out.
Okay then next week I need to figure out V's OTHER birthday cake for her brunch with mom dad, gramma, grampa, and me. It's Pinkalicious!
I have recently decided to get V an American Doll and give it to her at Disney. So now I am trying to decide on a matching costume and such OMG I'm a nut!!!!
If you are a fan of AG I am ordering V a My American Girl with curly red hair and blue eyes. It was the only one that looked closest to V. I decided hair was more important that eyes. V has curly reddish hair and brown eyes. There weren't any dolls that matched eye color but oh well.
Disney
All ADRS are made. days at each park are chosen. Alice costume is made, the Pirate Princess costume and Mary are near completion. Still trying to decide if I am going to buy the Rapunzel wedding dress for BBB day but i just don't know. All of the sudden V has shown an interest in Sleeping Beauty! What the heck, I have no idea where that came from. I want to try and sew V a dress and matching doll dress before but who knows. I found the cutest dress for V on etsy that I would like to order, just waiting for the seller to email me back and now I am wondering if I scared her off with my questions. I also found a local sewer who makes AG clothes to make a matching doll dress. I need to firm up plans and ADRS. Go through what we have booked and decide if I really want to pay OOP for 4 ADRS I think we're up to? I'm a nut I told you!!!!!!!! Also then need to get my butt in gear regarding the autograph book, I want to make one for V this year and need to get going on that. I also am going to be a Fairy Godmailer while we are there, and need to get that organized and pre-write my postcards so I know what they will say! also need to get addresses for friends so V can send some postcards while we are there. that said post cards can get pricey! I wonder if I can pre-buy some cheaper
Hmmmm any other updates to make.... My Disney balance is due on May 18th which is V's 5th birthday and we are going for a birthday trip how cool is that.
Oh yes I cannot decide for the life of me what to write in V's b-day card.
My options are (in more detail of course)
1. Happy Birthday I hope you like your cake!
2. Happy Birthday. Please be patient your birthday present will come in the future.
3. Happy Birthday and give her a cheap $5 present so I dont have to address not giving her a present, or telling her it is coming eventually.
Oh what to do.....
Anything else... V's parents go to NYC for a long weekend the 25 to the 29th and I have V most of the weekend. They get back on the 29th and my mom and I leave on May 30th to drive to Michegan for a full weekend at Memories Manor!!!!!!! I am so excited. I have wanted to go for years, but there is no way my mom can afford to go. SO this year after discussing with my dad and brother and their promise to help pay, I booked us a weekend for my moms christmas present. Well Christmas came and went, and it ended up being all on me. However we are going up a day early as I want to do a teeny bit of shopping and meet a nanny friend or two, so my dad is paying for the hotel for the one night. I am so excited about this. Before then I need to finish packing scrapping stuff and prepping layouts to take. ALOT of layouts
Ya I think thats it..... long long sorry! and tons of typos and run on sentences and no periods I'm sure. I'm usually not that bad just tired and wanted to update lol.
Busy Busy over here!
I really need two of me! and gosh could you imagine if I had my own house and own kids, I would be a walking maniac, I'd never get anything done. sheesh.
I'm sure the rest of your trip will make up for it! 
I don't think HP is going away anytime soon!
