Poor girl! Dang. cute cast though. Your right. She doesn't look too unhappy about it.
'
She liked this one... But i of course have a new story!
Awww, poor Meg, hope she heals up quickly. Like I said on Facebook, those cast covers are a pain in the you know what!
Me too. I hate her having a cast during summer!
Jim and I did have a quiet 4th of July. Went to my Disney Outlet store which is a little over an hour drive. I was pretty disappointed. They used to have a lot of parks merchandise but now there is none. I'm not sure why? I did buy a new Belle shirt and two sets of PJs. I love the Disney two piece PJ sets. They only had two different ones this time, Nightmare Before Christmas and Cheshire Cat, or I might have gotten more.
Ugh! So sorry about the outlet store! they are pretty hit or miss. I can't wait to get back to ours.. I want to hit up ALL of our outlet stores!!!
I am sure once the new merchandise comes out the old then gets sent to the store?
I can't but those 2 piece things. I always need a smaller pants and a larger top...
We ate lunch at Red Robin since there isn't one near our house and then stopped at a second mall that has a
Lego Store. Jim got a new Architecture set (NY City Flatiron Building) and a Star Wars one (the Ghost from Rebels). I also found yet another new Pluto mug at the
Disney Store there. I must have at least 20 different Pluto mugs.
LOVE RED ROBIN! ---Yummmmmm--- still no Chicago set?!?!? what the! there are new Pluto ones again as of the weekend! just sayin....
Then we went and saw Inside Out. Jim and I both agreed with your assessment that it was just OK. Some really funny parts but it dragged in the middle. There were two little girls next to us, probably around 5, and they were asking halfway through the movie if it was over yet. I don't think it's really good for younger children.
I agree! just thought it was... eh.... take it or leave it. People are RAVING about the Lava short. another i thought was just OK.
That evening we just hung out at the house comforting the dogs who were flipping out over the fireworks. I watched the live feed from WDW and that was about it!
I totally missed the live feed.. too busy outside babysitting the adults on lighting things on fire...
Surprising Raven did pretty good, i thought i would be in trouble as she was constantly barking at them all week. we had her with us outside and she just sat and watched them. As long as she was around people she is OK if we put her in the cage she was scared.
I will be on my computer first thing tomorrow morning to get those Stitch Tsum Tsums!
We already talked about this.. But i will post more.
I know what you mean about needing somewhere to put your thoughts about your 2016 trip. I'm struggling with that myself, but I'm trying hard exercise will power and not start the PTR for it until until I get home from the December 2015 trip. (Let's see how long I can hold out!)
I really need one.. This trip's countdown is 429 as of today... that's a LONG PTR to keep up with... still might do it just to have it... Need a name for it too.
Poor Meg! At least she's keeping a good attitude about it all!

She looks so sweet sleeping on the couch with the puppies!
She is a trooper!!! the dogs kept her safe and cuddly
speaking of puppies, how's the newest member of the family doing?
She is Dopey.
at training she is the model student. at home? she is still trying to play with the other dogs and is just SO ROUGH! day by day she is getting better and better. Thanks for asking! I have a video of her... I will post it.
I'm exhausted just reading all the running around you have been doing with jobs, doctors, etc.
Poor Meg...one thing after another for her. I love the pics of her snuggling with the puppies.
I'm exhausted! my life is basically 80% spent in the car the other 20 at a job! LOL
She is happiest when she is with the dogs. or stuffies...
Sounds awesome that you will get your trip in for 2016...now the when? May is good for Flower & Garden...you said you wanted to do that. I have no trips planned, so can't tell you to go when I'm going.
NOTHING?!?! you have NOTHING planned? well aren't you moving?? still need to go to the zoo!!!
I would LOVE to go for flower and garden. BUT with her son just starting high school i know she doesn't want to pull him.
So we are THINKING Sept again! this was they aren't missing a lot. just a recap of the previous year... plus they can do homework during the drive... IF we drive next year?!? Oh there are just SO MANY things up in the air right now.
A little family time for 4th and you end up with 20+ people? And after all that work? I don't know how you functioned at all.
I drank...
Oh man, my bff's son broke both his wrists the last week of school and has double casts, they were able to give him some sort of cast that is waterproof so he can shower and swim with it! I never knew those existed, but I am surprised they didn't offer you that, being summer and all...
THE POOR KID!!!! two broken wrists! a friend of mine did that back when we were in grade school. SO HARD to function!!!
I asked about the water proof and sadly they don't use them!
I love the Mickey on Megs cast, such a Disney girl!!
This she really is... She knows more then i do!!!
Love the lightening castle pic! How cool is that!?!?
I KNOW!!! Wish i was there to witness that!!!
I was just going to say the same--out oldest had a friend that broke her arm last year at school and she got a waterproof cast. You should ask for that
I will report more on this below!
Awww...Meg is such a trooper! Always a happy girl, even with a broken finger

That castle shot is amazing! I loved seeing all the Lightning pics and videos. So cool....but glad it didn't happen while I was there!
Miss you! Can't wait to see you in.....what.....4ish months?!
She really is a trooper. i just adore this kid..
I would LOVE to have seen all this!!!!
It will be 129 days!!!!! WOOOOHOOOOOO
Loved those lightning pics of the castle! Amazing! Although if I were there I'm sure it would have seriously freaked me out!
aren't they beautiful?!?! I do really wish i was there for it!
We had a nice quiet 4th at home.. other than my trip to urgent care... lol! I took the baby to my friend's family's beach house on the 3rd (hubby had to work). Our little guy's 1st birthday was Sunday 7/5, so much of our weekend was spent getting the house ready for the party on Sunday. Fortunately we took a few days off... think we are both still recovering from entertaining here! Party went really well, and I everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. I'm pretty new to entertaining a large group since we have only been in our house for about a year and a half. This was our 2nd big party, and it seemed easier than the 1st. (Although the 1st party was his baptism, so I could have been that I had a much smaller infant to take care of at the time too, lol!!) I bet you're still recovering from entertaining there too!

Although sounds like a fun weekend there!
1st birthday! Holy cow it's been a YEAR! time flew!!!
We used to have HUGE parties all the time. I LOVED having them.. But as the kids were getting bigger my time was occupied with all their activities! so we haven't had anything for a while.
Their Birthday parties are our one HUGE party 50+ people once a year. Thinking this will be their last BIG party and we will start having the 4th as our one huge party!
So I hope to get back into my fun little planning details... writing up daily sheets to give our travel party with ADRs, FP+s, and Disney history blurbs each day. Started working on these before, but only got through the first 3-4 days or so. Those are the fun little details I love working on!!!
I need to start my sheets. I am really slacking on the planning this year.. I need to step it up..
I love that you are planning your 2016 trip! I'm planning one in my head, but no official dates or plans as of yet. (Combined trip with us, my friend Erin, her husband and their son.) Hoping to have a good idea of what we want to do by the time November rolls around... then maybe book a bounceback offer while we are down there!
SMART! bounce back offers are the best..
I have SOME things in mind but not enough to jump on them yet.
Meant to mention...My sister-in-law's sister (the one expecting the triplets) is doing well! She is 29 weeks now, and pretty much on bed rest at this point I guess, but I think all 4 of them are doing well from what I hear, and see on FB.
OH i am SO glad to hear this. Please keep me updated on her and all the kiddies! you know this is near and dear to my heart!!! if she can go another 6 weeks and she is perfect!!!
That lightening picture is amazing, would be a great Halloween picture.
Keep us updated on Meg, hope her eye and her finger are on the mend.
LOVE the lightening pictures!!!
I will update below!
Poor Meg!! I can't believe what a huge cast they put on for a broken finger??? I do know that waterproof ones exist but..who knows if/what/where they can use them in your case. Stinks though. Poor girl.
I did see those lightening pics all over the internet...so cool...glad I wasn't there though!!
I know it's a finger NOT her wrist!!! whatever..
LOVE the lightening pictures. I do wish i was there!
Oh gracious! Meg (and you) has been put through the ringer lately. Don't feel so bad about the whole bad parenting thing...we'd all been there, done that (but didn't buy the t-shirt 'cause we're saving our money for Disney trips). Speaking of Disney trips, I am over the moon excited that you have a 2016 trip in the works! Don't you just love it when a seemingly harmless conversation turns into a full-blown Disney planning conversation. Soooooo, any idea when you'll be there?
Oh Meg has had one terrible week. I feel SO BAD for her yet she is a trooper!
Nope no silly tee shirts since i do have to pay for this trip!!!!
I am SO excited for next years trip! especially with first timers!!! going to be excellent!
thinking Sept.. it can change.
Also how is low carb going. I started yesterday & so far this seems to easy. I'm not starving & mad all the time like when I cut calories. I hope I actually lose weight though. Lol!
I haven't said anything about the Atkins have i?!?!
DOWN 30 pounds!!!! probably up about 40 since i have been eating like a fool since Saturday... let me tell you after not eating carbs then eating like a moron i feel like yuck. Also it doesn't taste good anymore! so i am back to my low carbs today! I need to get back to feeling GOOD.
It really is easy to do. i was amazed and fun yummy things to eat! My lunches consist of lunch meat with cream cheese and celery. i love it!
I still haven't worked out. Only because i have been running around like a fool no time! for snacks i will have beef jerky, an atkins shake, or cheese stick. I not really hungry like i was when eating crap food.
Let me know how your doing with it!!!
