Kids are excited to be up late and watch a movie outside

The curtains and towel were from Kohls, but they have been discontinued. You might be able to order them online. The photos were printed from the internet with their color printer. I take NO credit for this AT ALL! This was all my mom's idea and doing. Yes she is amazing. Yes I am blessed. And NO I am not sharing her!

Just spent all day at the US Open. I got to see Serena Williams and Andy Murray. Was also suppose to go to the Mets game but after a full session of tennis I told the fiancé I couldn't sit through a ball game in the stands.

Tomorrow I start my Rey costume. A little worried because the knit I got is too sheer so I need to double the fabric and my friends who do this more than I do are making it sound super hard. I assumed I could just line up the stretch and then cut an extra piece of the pattern.

Worked the Wisconsin vs. LSU game at Lambeau. Well what a game! I'm a huge Wisconsin fan so seeing them upset LSU was awesome!

On Wisconsin!

Well got frustrated tonight and needed to finish something so found a very quick walk through and made this!

It was super quick (under and hour maybe even less then 30 minutes) and I think it came out great. Wall-E is moving along. I had to Amazon some special filling for him so waiting on that.

Also realizing I need something bigger than my apartment for all my crafting haah. Ah the dream to have a whole room dedicated to crafting.

One of neighbor's pig got out today. As I was taking pictures of the pig with permission of our next door neighbor, the pig owner yelled at me for taking pictures and there was no need for that. Background--this pig attacked me back in April and I had to get medical attention after 2 days of swelling that got worse (the pig did not break skin or break through my leather sneakers). Long story short...the pig owners told a whopper that sounded like I was like Dorothy's neighbor from the Wizard of Oz. I believe that the pig owners realize that we might be seeking legal advice (tricky NC laws on animals and attacks). So that makes us want a new home. We are so done. I have been trying to get our dog ready for apartment living, but her favorite tricks is to bark for treats (ex. number of treats in my hand, basic math, Nascar car drivers/car numbers),

I had a great Saturday watching the Navy football game. I love their football traditions and shots of local sights like Sandy Point Beach and the Bay Bridge. I wish that we could have some MD crab cakes tonight.

I watched my first episode of Stranger Things and sort of like it.
I might go do some sketching/ drawing for a hobby. It distresses me fast. I tried crochet in the past, but I need more guidance from someone who could help me in person. My paternal grandmother used make beautiful crochet angels for her church fundraisers and made dolls/clothes. She used to make sure that the dolls that she made had underwear for modesty. Dh got to meet her before she passed away.

Try to stick with stranger things. It gets better.

Drawing is fun. Maybe you could draw Disney characters?

I have returned from Dragon Con! I had a really good time - saw lots of friends, went to lots of panels, even saw two members of N'Sync (not sure why they were at a geek con but oh well). I also dressed up as Snow White on Friday and marched in the parade with my Tightrope Girl costume (though I accidentally left my parasol at home)

Now I have 25 days until I leave for Disney World! I can't wait!

my kids first day of school is today - so took the annual picture of them ... already have a 2nd grader which is kinda scary to me how time flies

Hoping they all have a good day - so far what we know of the teachers is really positive, but we shall see

Not that you don't already know this, but cherish this time! The "preteen stare of death" will come sooner than you'd like!

Onto week 2 of school.

We booked our flights for January last night! 117 days until I'm back in WDW and ready to conquer Dopey!

I have a 2nd grader - but she started last week. It's amazing already how fast time flies!

My class schedule for the semester is preventing me from watching any of the shows live until December, which is honestly pretty depressing.

Tonight is packing night for my weekend trip to Windsor Locks, CT. I also have to make some brownies for the weekend.

I sadly never get to watch any of the shows live. Silly thing called work *L* But I'm glad I can watch them after the fact.

Been too busy to post much T_T Insomnia has been back the past couple weeks and i've only slept from like 7AM - 12PMish. I go to bed at 2 and nothing happens. Also been trying to get a business thing up and going. Trying to write more articles to submit under the contributer thing. Because I have seriously slacked on it and just submitted my first one in almost a year. I have another one written just have to get it proof read and find photos before I submit it. HOS rehearsals start tomorrow. Lots of stuff and things XD

I just love when bosses think the section you work in doesn't have enough work to do, but never show their face to see what you all are actually doing. That has been my units dilemma this week. Luckily I get a long weekend away from figuring out square footage of highway signs and get to enjoy it with my hockey friends (aka hockey family)

Today, I decided that I need a clone...maybe two. It seems to be the only practical way to be in three places at once.

In other news, Halloween costumes have arrived and I at least got DD7 to model hers. I would have posted it the day she modeled it, but sadly, I have no clone to cover these things when I'm tied up in other stuff. Yup, really need a clone.
