This Is A Poncho-Free Zone!--May 22-29, 2010 PTR (New PTR!!!! 5/31)

Omgoodness I love the Beauty and the Beast show.. the decorations alone looked amazing. I wish I could have went and seen it. I also loved the costumes. I like how it was like a dinner show. Are they always like that?

and Cindy lou! Soo cute.

I know!! It was spectacular!! Very well done!! The costumes were beyond amazing!! I'm not sure if they always do dinner shows like that or not. It was our first time to see a show at Briarcrest!
 
Yay, I'm so happy for an update, and so glad to have you back! It sounds like you have been super busy! But how exciting about putting you house on the market! I'm sure it's a ton of work but what a great adventure finding a new home - I hope the process goes smoothly for you! :goodvibes
Sorry you've been sick - I can definitely sympathize with strep throat! I get it all the time. I think I had it like 4 times in one year once...that stuff is bad. :sick: I hope you feel better soon!

I love all of the pictures from the Beauty and the Beast show! That is quite impressive - I was involved in theatre all throughout high school and our shows looked nothing like that :sad2: It looks like the girls had a great time!

And speaking of the talk of FB, I need to add you as a friend (if you don't mind). I'm sending you a request now! :goodvibes

Hey Becky:wave2:. I posted to your PTR last night, but I don't see it :sad2:. I will just say it again......lol. I bet the girls loved the Beauty and the Beast Tea!! It looks like it was fun and the girls look so cute :thumbsup2. I LOVE the coke bottle hair :rotfl:, I would never have thought of that and I use to be a beautician. I would have teased it till it screamed to make it stand like that, Coke bottle much, much better :thumbsup2:thumbsup2.

So where are ya'll thinking of moving if you sale your house? Are you staying in TN? I wish you luck on selling the house. Amanda's future MIL is a real estate agent and she deals with the higher end houses, and she said she hasn't really seen a big drop in her sales. I guess people either have a lot of money and they aren't effected by the economy or we are going to see a big foreclosure rate again in the near future....:scared1:.
 
Hey Becky, so glad to have you back! Sorry to hear you are not feeling good but loving all the updates. You do such fun things - however do you fit it all in!!!

Becky, good for you guys that decided :banana:going for a bigger house,, I know exactly how you feel; I had to put mine on the market last year and Thank God it only took 10 days before we got an offer that we liked... ,,,, Also finally we got our new house in Chicago ( a bigger one !! ) ....

Oh yeah--I forgot!! I also was involved in this BIG consignment sale! I do it twice a year! (work it and enter clothes, shoes, and toys) Anywho, that took up a TON of time as well but I ended up making close to $800!!! And I got a ton of stuff out of my house!! Whoo hoo!! Definitely worth it!!

:scared1: Wowza! $800 is amazing - you must have had a ton of good stuff to get rid of.

Selling your house, fun and scary at the same time. I hope you have good luck - has your area had much of a downturn in the market? Are you planning to stay in the same general vicinity?

The Beauty and the Beast show looked amazing! What was that all about - was it a fundraiser? Looks like it was first class all the way. Oh, and Ally's seuss hair - awesome!!!
 
Wow! What a great outcome from the sale. Are you happy with it? I figured you would take the dresses again--they still fit and look great. You are doing a BBB with Ally again right? Are you taking the Belle dress for her to wear?

Such a cute hairdo for Dr. Seuss Day!! Did it make it the whole day?
 
Fun updates, the tea looked really nice. The hair was really cool!! Yay for princesses-Avery drew Tiana this weekend. She and Ally have similar spelling-so cute. Congrats on the sale-that is great! We are putting our old house on the market next week! Welcome back!
 
You have so much going on right now!

Good luck getting your house ready to sell! I hope it sells quickly!

The Beauty and the Beast production looked like it was fun. And the food sounded yummy too!

How creative of you to do Ally hair using a bottle! Never would have thought of it. They did some Dr. Seuss things one week at Alex's school too. It was fun!
 
Oh my goodnes....Ally and Claire look adorable at the Beauty and the Beast tea!!!!!! So sweet!!!!!

LOL!!!! I love Ally's hair up in the Cindy Lou Who!!!!! Girl, you are way talented!!!!!!! I would have never thought of using a coke bottle!!
 
Glad you are back! Sounds like an exciting time even though it is so busy. Wow, that Beauty and the Beast event looks amazing! They went all out. Very cool! :goodvibes
 
WOW! Congrats on putting the house up for sale!!! We own a real estate company, so I know how stressful that can be :goodvibes Let me know if you need any advice!

I have to ask...what will you do if you get a contract right around Disney time?! I can only imagine your countdown chain not being packed until the very end :rotfl:

I am so excited to hear about the houses you may buy! I am sure extra room will be so nice for all of the girl's toys and clothes :lovestruc

So happy you are back! I am just coming back tonight because my computer has been broken. Good to see you again and happy you are feeling better :hug:
 
hey becky!! welcome back! thank you for sharing all of your pictures! The pictures from beauty&the beast are amazing! Their costumes are sooo elaborate and the tea with Mrs.Potts?! So cute!!! The pic of your DD's hair from Dr. Seuss day?!?! soo awesome!! I wouldn't have even thought of that! Can't wait for more updates!!

*keala*
 
I'm glad you are back!

Wow! You have been busy, haven't you? Good luck on getting your house ready to sell and on selling it, too! Have you started looking for one you'd like to purchase yet?

The Beauty & the Beast lunch looked amazing! I'll bet the play was, too. Your girls are adorable! What a great time!

You need a blue ribbon yourself for that Cindi-Loo Who hairdo! :worship: That is the cutest thing! Wow! Congrats on the essay contest!

Those drawings are great! My favorite is Ariel. :goodvibes
 
Hi all!! I just wanted to check in with all of you and apologize for not being on here (I think it's been THREE weeks now--YIKES!!). I certainly did not intend to worry any of you. I have been insanely busy!! I've hardly been on here or on Facebook. Now for the reason . . .

. . .We've decided to put our house on the market and search for a larger home!! Very exciting but VERY stressful!! So these past few weeks I've been trying to declutter and go through every room to make it look presentable! Uggh! I'm still not done--but almost! I'm hoping we can call a real estate agent in ASAP!! So I've been working my tail off on getting this house looking better and I've come down with strep again! So right now I'm sick in bed--but hey--it's giving me DIS time!!! :goodvibes I've also had more bow orders at one time than I've ever had!! It's all been quite crazy. So please forgive me!!!

Oh yeah--I forgot!! I also was involved in this BIG consignment sale! I do it twice a year! (work it and enter clothes, shoes, and toys) Anywho, that took up a TON of time as well but I ended up making close to $800!!! And I got a ton of stuff out of my house!! Whoo hoo!! Definitely worth it!!

Off to reply to all that have commented and expect a picture update in a bit!! Love ya'll!!!:lovestruc DIS friends are the BEST!!!! :hug:

Wow! You have been BUSY!! Good luck getting the house ready for listing! I'll pray for you that it sells quickly!

That is awesome that you did so well at the consignment sale! I participated in a large one here in Knoxville this past week. It was my first time consigning and I didn't take very much stuff because I wasn't sure how well it would sell. But most of it did and I made about $170, so I was very happy! Now I'm hooked! :rotfl:

Love the Cindy Lou hair! Very creative way of doing it with the Coke bottle! I never would have thought of that!

B&tB looks like it was sooo fun!!

Love Ally's drawings!

Okay, that's everything I remember. So glad that you're back, and I hope you feel better soon! :goodvibes
 
Hi, Becky!! Glad to see you back-- I've been keeping up with your pictures on Facebook. That is terrific that the high school does activities like that for children-- our high school musicals were not so ambitious!
That's great that you're planning on selling your house--outgrowing it as the girls grow older?? Are you planning on staying in the same area? I'll pray that the selling of your current house and the buying of a new one goes smoothly!

Thanks Dana!! We still want to stay in our town--we just need more space. The subdivision we're looking at is only about 3 minutes from our current home.

I did have a bunch of items--I ended up putting 213 items in the sale and I got back around 50. (which will go in another sale at the end of the month. I got 82% of my total sales since I worked a shift.

Yes, we plan on staying in the same vicinity! The subdivision we're looking at is only about 3 minutes from our current home.

Yes!! B&B was amazing!! It was the Spring musical that the high school put on. The money raised goes back onto their theater program.
