mommyof2princesses,

Thanks! I just wasn't sure if I could post it since the hard part was done for me...

Oh and on some fun news DH and I have decided to buy a DVC at the new AKL!!!!!! I have to call our rep today and let her know. She is off today and tomorrow but gave me her cell. I just don't want to bother her on her day off so I figured i would leave a message on he work vmail and stop by the Doorway to Dreams location in th emall on Friday when I take the kids to build a bear for their end of the yr from school/good report card gift:cool1:
 
BTW I am still typing up my last weekend's tr within a tr in Word and it is longer that I expected so I'll get it up on my tr tomorrow! I know you are all dying of suspense! :rotfl2: but I'm going to bed.
Seriously, I AM dying of suspense!!!! I love reading trip reports!!! I could probably spend all day doing it!!! And, unfortunately, sometimes I do!!!

How do you see things like that? I'm always amazed when someone points out some obscure (to me) item in a pic. I guess I need to be more observant.
I think Lydia is the same way, we get magazines every month (actually every other week) that have an eye spy game in them, and Lydia is sooo good at finding those pictures! She beats me every time!
Awww I am so sorry. I know how you feel as I used to feel the same way. That is until we adopted. Once our DD came home I finally realized why I could never get pregnant. I truly believe I was MEANT to be Taylor's Mom. If I had gotten pregnant before then Taylor would never be in my life. I see it now but back when I was dealing with all the infertility issues I didn't understand it and I got pretty down too. It is so hard and very emotional. If you ever need a friend to vent too, let me know!! Here is a hug for you....:hug:
Aww, Beth, you made me cry. That is beautiful!
Well darn it!!!! :( I have the second fabric with the actual Mickey Mouse's on it, but I don't know what to put with it. :confused3

Also I kept putting off getting that pink and black Mickey fabric at Wal-Mart even though I knew it would be so cute with the pink/black polka dot they carr, and now they clearanced it out and it's gone!!! I called a couple Wal-Marts and no luck their either. From now I'm just buying the entire bolt of anything I like. :thumbsup2
I am pretty sure our Walmart has the pink and black Mickey fabric left, let me know if you want me to look for you. :thumbsup2

Yep, buy the bolt, that's whey I do!!!! :thumbsup2

Where did you find the Mickey multi colored dot material?!?!
Knowing that little girl, yes, her shoes probably are on the wrong feet. She doesn't have the most organized parents and they just had a third baby a month ago and if possible, are even more disorganized. Since I have yet to have my third, I should probably reserve judgement but know that even if she was an only child they would still be on the wrong feet! We are good friends with them but sometimes you just know that even though they love their children it will take a miracle for them all to survive into adulthood!

Oscar is my baby, and he is very handsome (although a mess!). He is about 220 pounds as of Monday when I took him for another checkup at the vet. He doesn't fit on the scale very well so I am never sure how accurate his weight is. Oh, and did I mention he is almost totally blind? So in summary, I have a 220 pound, blind and epileptic dog walking around my house who thinks he belongs in your lap! One of my neighbors says that Oscar fits our personality as a family - I'm not sure if I should be insulted or not :rotfl2: ! I actually wouldn't trade him for the world and love him dearly (and my recent vet bills prove it!).
.

Sounds like David and Barbara! They love their kids dearly, but often don't notice the little things like shoes on the right feet, unbrushed hair, and mismatched clothes! Casey is CONSTANTLY wearing her shoes on the wrong feet! We've told her before that if she thinks she has her shoes on the right feet, she should probably switch them around! :rotfl2:

Poor Oscar! I bet he is one happy dog though, despite his troubles!

I just wanted to update you all- they have not found my brothers friend yet!!

And in other sad news- another one of my dh's stepsisters is pregnant and had her dr. appt- they couldn't find the heartbeat and did an ultrasound- the baby was small for the gestation and no heartbeat. She goes in on thursday for more tests, but most likely a miscarriage will occur. She is in mid 30's and they have a had a super hard time getting pg. My MIL & I were just planning her shower yesterday when they were here. They have even looked seriously into adopting from china. They want a child so badly. I know they are both really down. Prayers for them please.

I was praying for your brother's friend just before coming on her. I am so sorry that they have not found him yet. :hug:

And your husband's sister, oh, that is so hard! :hug: Did she know that something was wrong, or was it totally unexpected? I am so sorry. How far along is she?

Yeah the posting pictures worked! but the copying a post didn't:worried:
If you go to the first post, there are easy to follow direction on how to multiquote. :thumbsup2 It's really easy. If you only want to quote one post, just click on "quote" at the bottom right of the post. You can do it, it's very simple!

OOOH, AKL!!! How fun!!!:cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

We took a tour for DVC while we were down this year, but you'll have to read all about that in my trip report! Let's just say, it was, different......popcorn::
 
I found the cutest shirt for Lily at Disneyland. I can't wait to make a skirt for it! I think it would also look cute under a jumper...hmmm, can't decide what to do! I bought an XS instead of an XXS but it seems kinda big (the XXS seemed kinda little :confused3 ) but this way it will fit longer.

(those are Lily's hands, she was standing there saying "cheeeeese" as I took photos) :rotfl:

THAT is precious! I may need to call Disneyland!

It's almost 11:00 pm ...I am done with my sewing for the day...
I FINISH MY GRADUATION DRESS!!!!:cool1: :cool1: :cool1: decided to make it halter style, I pulled up the front so it is not too deep ...

My husband is not too happy about it!!! He thinks is too much for a "Fifth Grade Promotional Ceremony":furious:

It is a simple dress maybe I should remove the pin in the front?
Once again opinions needed....

Linnette

I personally love it! I think it's beautiful!

This is almost exactly my same experience! Except for me, it began after the birth of our son. We underwent every test imaginable to explain why we experienced secondary infertility. Now we know that the REASON was that our DAUGHTER was waiting for us in China. We would have never figured that out if preganacy was an automatic for us.

Praying for your family. What sad news - on both counts.

If you feel that your DH's stepsister would benefit from having someone to talk to about adopting from China, please feel free to put her in contact with me. PM me and I'll give you my email addy.
 
Good morning! Ok Here I go I am going to post my 1st picture of my smi home made dress I did for my little princess: I hope I can get the pictures to show up!

Please ignore the extra pink ribbon sticking out and the little ruffle sticking out of the bottom she didn't want to take her pj's off since she just got out of the bath.

Her being the princess she is!

I hope it is ok to post this because like I said it is semi home made. the gathering at the top was done for me but I wanted to start out slow to start. So if I really messed this up I new to pack in the thought of trying to really making a dress for her. I am pretty proud of myself! I know it is nothing compared to what you ladies make but since it was my 1st attempted I am pretty happy!
!
It looks wonderful!!! Your daughter is adorable!!! Of course it's ok to post this!!!! You sewed it!! But, even if you didn't sew any of it, it would be ok to post too!

I can't wait to see your next dress!

The dress is GREAT!

Love the tshirt! I want one! I say make a skirt for it!

The sentiments about adoption are so beautiful! I have a tear in my eye just reading it.

thanks! I can't wait to start the new dress! Need to paint the gate 1st ugh!

I will defiantly check out your trip report!
Once the gate is painted i will reward myself with calling Disney Doorway to Dreams and give the go ahead for our DVC! then start the dress:)
 
I am glad you like the shorts! I did not use a pattern I made my own, my boys waist for the little one is 30":scared1: and the older one 26 and my husband is 38"(I am making shorts for my husband also) If you want I can mail you the pattern I made along with homemade instructions.

Linnette

You are too sweet! I would really appreciate it. . . DH is a 32, though sometimes likes to get a 33 so that they are baggy (I think this is funny, because he needs a belt to keep up the 32's anyhow. . . I guess it is for extra room for eating ;) ) We are on an extra tight budget so this would help. . . I'd definitely be willing to compensate you for the shipping and materials. . . .
 
This is the princess outfit I made for Eliz's bday tomorrow!! I didnt get the time to make one for her new doll, but figure she will enjoy getting little surprises later on!!!

I hope she likes her birthday!!

That is beautiful! I have never seen that fabric before.


What a gorgeous dress..hope it does well for you! Love the pictures of your ds...that's too funny, but it IS hard to resist donuts!

Another batch of dresses from DMIL!

I love the shirt!!! Wonder if they have something similar at Disney World?

How sad...and so sorry about your sil. Will keep them in my prayers..

How exciting!! We will be staying at the AKL in a few days, and we were going to schedule a tour of the DVC there until DH heard about the the new DVC, Kingdom Towers (I think that's what it is called) at Contemporary, so now he wants to wait for that to be completed.
 
So many pretty things!!!!

So many folks are going through tough situations, I am always afraid to comment because I don't want to leave someone out. I pray for each of you as I read though.

My walmart doesn't have any pink minnie fabric either...which was probably good because I got a bit carried away with the clearance disney fabric last night...$80...and I want to go back!!!!

I love the shirt. I ended up getting Delaney the little red polo shirt dress from that same series of clothing while we were at Disney World, she loved the dress so much I picked it and a pair of matching Minnie flip flops up to surprise her with on her birthday. I'll take a picture of the dress when it comes out of the laundry. I'm still doing laundry, RJ's work had a huge issue with the cooling system going down in one of the computer vaults and we all know how much computers love the heat, needless to say I haven't seen much of my hubby since we got home from vacation. Poor guy.

Cool you will have to let me know what you think! Dh has always wanted to stay at AKL and once he realized the dvc was there he was all over it. The contemporary one isn't announced as a dvc yet. I actually asked my rep about that. She also said it usually isn't a problem if you don't want to stay at your home resort every yr. She said she would book at your home resort then try to switch and it is usually no biggie. I would love to stay at the Contemporary!
 
Here are a couple of shots from vacation. Delaney had a lot of fun at the Bibbidi Boppidi Boutique. She got some fantastic time with Minnie and Dopey during the fireworks at the P&PP, we were in visiting Minnie and we ended up being alone with Minnie in her princess outfit, Dopey, 2 photopass photographers and a character handler for about 20 minutes. They were all dancing around the room. Those photos are on the photopass and I haven't gotten it back yet.

With Belle after Storytime with Belle, Delaney got to be Chip, she had a blast.

With June at breakfast at Hollywood & Vine, we found the best time to go, we had breakfast scheduled at 10:25 there were all of 6 or 7 tables in there at that point. We had tons of time with the characters.

Daisy came out right as we were passing her. Delaney loves Daisy so we stopped, we were on our way out to get a break from the heat.

I love everyone's new outfits. :love:

Thanks for posting the BIG GIVE need for a headstone. :worship:

There's so many more things to write and my mind went blank, I'm sure it will all come back as soon as I hit submit. :laughing:

The towers a coming along well. They aren't going to be able to pass it off as tennis courts anymore. :rotfl2: It's about 12 stories tall now and they've started the steel walkway between the new tower and the main building. It looks like it's going to be really nice.

We've been talking about waiting until they announce the sales on that one before we make the decision about the whole DVC thing. I like the idea of being on a monorail stop but I have a feeling those are going to go quickly. It's not like it's the same amount of spaces as Saratoga Springs or Old Key West.

I would love to tour them when they are done though.
 
Ahh yes I remember that fabric- I'll keep my eye out. I am planning to go to mill end this week. I can check for the pink and black too- how much were you wanting of them- in case I find either one??

How about two yards of each if you can find them? Thanks! You are so sweet!:hug:

I am pretty sure our Walmart has the pink and black Mickey fabric left, let me know if you want me to look for you. :thumbsup2


Where did you find the Mickey multi colored dot material?!?!

If you see it, I would like two yards. I might be cutting it a little close with my trip in 9 days, but I just love that fabric. I could use it later.

I got the Mickey multi colored dot at Joanns back in the Fall. It was hidden in the clearance section so I bought all that was left. :thumbsup2

Your little girl looks so cute! LOVE the BB pics! My dd is doing that when we go.
 
I am taking MIL home this weekend and am hoping to find more fabric. anyone in the Virginia Beach, Newport News, Suffolk VA area? I knw there are some Joanns there I can search at. Any suggestions would be apprecieated! Of course, DH thinks we are just taking mom home....I don't travel without looking for fabric..silly man!:rotfl:
 
I called my dr's office yesterday at 8:15. They don't open until 9:00:( I called back at 9:00 , the receptionist says since I've been treated for strep there before maybe he'll just call a prescription in, she'll call me back. :worship: At 10:00 I call (b/c they hadn't) to "check" that I gave her the right #, she says she hasn't had time to talk to the doc she'll call me back:mad: 1:45 office calls to tell me the Doc needs to see me b/c of the chest congestion I have and they can't get me in until today at 9:15:furious: So at 2:00 I was calling walk in clinics to find one w/ reasonable prices (:laughing: ) I did find one that was $75 which is not much more than I would have paid my doc and got seen by 5:00. She doesn't see the traces of the blisters that have mostly burst so thinks, b/c of my chest congestion that I have a virus NOT strep but as I get it 4-5 times a year she trusts my self diagnosis enough to put me on a course of Amoxil.
Of course we don't really take medicine at our house and especially don't like to take antibiotics unless it's necessary so I was a little hesitant. B said in 10 years he's never known me to say "I have to go to the dr.,I've got strep" and NOT have strep, so if I felt like it was strep to go ahead and take the anitibiotics, especially since I take them very rarely. SO I am on the Amoxil still feeling pretty crappy but am starting to feel better I hope the meds work enough by tomorrow so I am a little better for his CD release party.

Krista- I think I saw that green fabric at my Joanns recently. I am going today after lunch, I will check.

so glad you are feeling a little better and you will get some relief!


Just an update...on the whole FIL episode...

I finished up his paperwork fot the respite today and I sat down and went over things with him again. He seems to be acting a little better today. I gave him a full time schedule so he can see exactly where we will be and when we will be back. Just two more days till he checks in...keep your fingers crossed all goes well.
