"This Isn't Disneyworld. . .It's Rainworld!!" our trip to WDW May 16-23, 2009

Hi Becky! Just wanted to say thanks again for the link. I fed my Disney addiction with the FLN "What you get for the money". Wouldn't have known about it without your post. Thanks so much!
 
Do you sell the bows that you make? I'd be really interested- thanks!

I do!! I'll PM you my website! :goodvibes

Hi becky,
Thanks for posting the link for disney shows. I'll be sure to watch the little couple. Did you see the episode of jon and kate plus 8 when they went to Disney?
Have a nice weekend.

No problem!! I thought it was a great resource for all of us Disney addicts!! :rotfl2: I did see the Jon & Kate Plus 8 Disney episode!! Soooo cute!! That was before their family went crazy--so sad! :confused3

I also loved Toy Story 3D. It was great. Though it did give me a little headache hehe

Oh good!! Glad you got to see it!! :goodvibes

No problem!! How was the show? We don't get that network--what does FLN stand for?
 
Sorry I haven't posted in a few days! Again, it has been CRAZY around here! We've been so busy and in my "free" time I've been working on this HUGE bow order. A children's clothing vendor ordered a bunch of bows and clippies to match their outfits--they have a big show this weekend here in Memphis. I'm happy to say that I finished the order very late last night (or should I say early this morning). Sooo glad to have that behind me! So I'm taking it easy today!!

I wanted to update you with the pictures I had been promising--what we've been up to the past week and a half! So here we go!!

I'll start with Saturday a week and a half ago. My parents were in town visiting and we all decided to take a trip to the pumpkin patch/farm! We had a kot of fun--rode on a hayride to a pumpkin patch, chose pumpkins, etc. Here is the link to the pics: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=38523&id=1035906284&l=6f401d3dc0.

That same day we went to the Harvest Festival in our small town. All of the businesses in our downtown had games, activities, food, drinks for everyone at no cost! Kind of like a "thank you" for supporting their businesses. Here are pics from that: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=38530&id=1035906284&l=819a678f61

Then last Tuesday (10/20) Brent, me, and some friends from church headed to Jackson, TN for a scholarship banquet at my alma mater--Union University. Each year they have this huge banquet with a very nice sit-down dinner and the bring in a very well known speaker. This year it was Condoleezza Rice!! My dad teaches at Union and every year he buys a table and we get to join my parents and invite a couple to come with us. It was a lot of fun and we NEVER get a babysitter for the girls--so we were excited about the night out! The dinner was very good but Condoleezza was even better!! She was one of the best speakers they've had in IMO. She took time to speak directly to the students and their dreams/education--which impressed me. After she was done speaking we were invited by my parents to go to a meet and greet/photo op with Condoleezza!! On our way up to the 3rd floor, the elevator STOPPED! We were stuck along with 14 other people! I was freaking out! I was hot and getting very claustrophobic!! They tried to call people to get us out and finally we ended up calling 911. The fire department came and rescued us after about 15 minutes of being stuck in this elevator! So we headed up the stairs to meet Condoleezza. (I was still shaking and I was flushed--uggh!) So we met her--she was very gracious--and had our picture taken with her. I will share it when we receive it. We weren't allowed to use our own cameras. Anywho, here are the pics from that night: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=38534&id=1035906284&l=2df587f7a4

The next day (10/21) was Ally's 1st Kindergarten field trip to the Memphis Zoo!! It was a lot of fun! Here are the pics: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=38535&id=1035906284&l=d66f0ce229

Then this past weekend we went to visit my parents in Jackson. Me, my mom, and Ally drove to Franklin, TN (near Nashville) to attend an American Girl Fashion Show! We had gone last year and had the best time!! Ally was a Guest Model and got to walk the runway--sooo cute!! Check out my many pics of this event: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=38573&id=1035906284&l=f9d3f3619b

Then today I snapped this quick pic of Ally before school. This week is Red Ribbon Week (Say No to Drugs) and today was wear your favorite hat day. AND the Kindergarten letter of the week is C. This is what Ally chose to wear! The pic quality is not the best as it was taken on my phone!

Tomorrow I go up to Ally's class to help the kids carve their pumpkins. Each child brought in a pumpkin for pumpkin math--weighing the pumpkin, measuring the pumpkin, etc. And then on Friday me and the other room mom are helping with their Fall Snack/"party". Busy week but sooo much fun!
 
Hi Becky! Glad to see you back. Looks like you've had a lot of excitement. It's red ribbon week for us also. Today was Crazy Hair Day for us.

FLN stands for Fine Living Network. The premise of the show was that they give three families $1600 to use towards a Disney Vacation. It was interesting to see what each family did with their $. One family did All Star Music, basic passes and dining plan, one family did Pop, park hopper and waterpark and more passes, the other did shorter stay at AKL with wine and dine package. It was interesting for sure. :thumbsup2 I DVR'ed (like how I made that a verb??) it so we can watch it again when nothing is on.

Have fun with the pumpkins and the party!

Oh cute!! We used to do crazy hair day when I taught K!! It was always a hoot to see what the kids looked like! That sounds like a really neat show! I have got to talk to Brent about expanding our channels! We don't even have DVR yet--crazy, I know! We've just been watching things online when we miss them. Does FLN have a lot of Disney type shows?

I just started watching it but I've seen Martha Stewart shows, travel shows, home upgrade/remodel shows, stuff like that. I'm not a big fan of Martha but I do like shows of that nature. You know crafty, cooking, home decorating type.

Hee hee!! Yeah, it's this time of year--there is so much going on!! I have actually done pretty much nothing today (except make a few more clippies) and it has been wonderful!! It's nice to get a break every once in awhile!!
 
Hey girl! Your update was wonderful and exhausting! Is that what I have to look forward to when Dylan gets into kindergarten? My goodness, you are busy. Congratulations on your large bow order. That is a big deal!

We just did a pumpkin patch this weekend too and it was a lot of fun (Dylan's first time). Such good memories.
 
You've been so busy but busy with fun stuff, Becky!!

Ally looks adorable (we have that C shirt ~ I'm a gymbo addict!) in her crown and ears! I'm going to wear my sparkly Minnie ears to school on Friday in honor of Halloween. The kids will get a kick out of it, I'm sure.

Thanks Julie!! I know what you mean!! It's been raining here all week--it's miserable!! Thankfully it's supposed to stop by Saturday morning. It's just so dreary--I'm ready to see the sun again!
 
Yay for cute pics of all the fun you are having! Now hurry up and finish the report so you can start ur ptr!
 
No problem!! I thought it was a great resource for all of us Disney addicts!! :rotfl2: I did see the Jon & Kate Plus 8 Disney episode!! Soooo cute!! That was before their family went crazy--so sad! :confused3

I Know it's so sad, isn't it? They used to be such a cute sweet family. I feel bad for the kids. Especially the older girls and Joel; he is such a daddy's boy and now he hardly gets to see him. I knew something was up with Kate from the beginning. Did you see the Utah episode when she was so sick, she couldn't help John get the kids ready for ski school and then she could go to the spa?:sad2:
Two weeks the flamingo gardens/butterfly world episode was right by my where I live. I thought it was funny that out of all places they decide to come here.

Anyway, I loved all the pictures. The girls are just so cute.:cutie: I don't blame Ally for being scared of the foot sticking out of the trunk, I saw it the other day and I was scared. We had spirit week too at the kids' school.

What are the girls for halloween? Is claire Snow white by any chance?:rolleyes1
