Phew! I got youngest Princess' dress done. Remember, the one I was complaining about? I didn't get to start it till about 7:00 last night. I stayed up until 1 this morning and got up again at 6. The wedding shower was at 10am. I finished it at 9:15. There's some spots around the ruffles that I should take out and redo since it's a bit crooked, but it turned out pretty cute!
I'm trying to get a pic off the camera, but for some reason, the software isn't being recognized
Youngest Princess is in my friend's wedding in a month. I'm making her flower girl dress. I cut out the pattern, and according the pattern back, it should fit fine. My grandma and I held it up to Princess and it needs some added to the chest. No problem, right? Well, before I cut up the flower girl material, I went to Joann's and bought some other material to make a dress out of to see how my alterations will turn out. Princess picked some kitty fabric and I have to admit, it is adorable. I wanted the Mickey Mouse material, but I got vetoed. ;) So anyway, tonight I sit down to cut out the material (the job I hate most) and realized I didn't wash the material. UGH! I've been washing all day, I could have thrown it in with those loads, so now I have to wait until the current load is done so I can throw it in.
The Princesses have been bugging us to set up the tents in my parents backyard the last few weekends. Either we've had something going on or rain was in the forecast. Finally, last night, we set up the 3 tents. Each Princess had to have their own tent, but Youngest's is really itty bitty. Last night after going to bed, she got a little scared, so I just moved her, tent and all, into our tent. LOL We had fun!
I must be the most craptastic mother on the planet!
I noticed this morning that the little marigold plant that Youngest Princess planted in Sunday School and gave me last week for Mother's Day was all dry and the flowers were hanging over. I quickly watered it, but it's too far gone I'm afraid. :( I couldn't even keep it alive for a week!
Youngest Princess just informed me she wishes she was a ladybug. I then asked why. Her answer: "So I can fllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" Hmmm, maybe I have a future pilot on my hands. Or, maybe she'll hang glide which will then send me to the loony bin. LOL I don't think I have enough nerves to watch that!
Youngest Princess and I are watching Dancing with the Stars and she says to me.... "You should dance with Daddy like that!"
Bahahaha, that would be a sight to see! Craig, by his own self-admission, has no rhythm LOL!
I was over visiting Mama Lee's blog and she had this on her page. I love it! We still have the VCR tape of the Muppet Show with this on it. Oldest Princess and I used to watch this all the time! It's even filtered down now to Youngest Princess. If we're in the car or wherever, one of us will say Manamana and the other will do the doo doo doo doo doo.
Yesterday I went to the scrapbook convention. On my way home, I turned my phone back on and there was a voicemail. It was from Craig. He said that Youngest Princess was sick. Oh lovely. I was supposed to go to Craig's aunts to scrapbook, but I offered to come home. He told me to go ahead and go, that they would be fine. I got home then at about 9:30 and was really tired. I offered to sleep on the floor because Princess was sleeping on the couch. Craig said, nope, go ahead and go to bed, I'll stay out here with her. So he slept here in the chair. I woke up at 4 something and came and checked on them. They were both sleeping soundly, so I went back to bed. But about half an hour later, I heard them both so I got up. Princess was sick again. Poor thing has been sick all night. I'm exhausted because I only got 4-5 hrs of sleep, but I sent Craig to bed. I need to be at church in half an hour. I'm not dressed yet. LOL I'm supposed to be singing today. That's not going to happen. I sound like a frog due to my cold. *Ribbit*
Yay, it's Friday! As far as TAW goes, I went to Learning Palace yesterday and looked around. I couldn't decide on any one thing, so I got Mrs. N a gift certificate. Now I need to have Youngest Princess make her a card.
As we were driving today, Youngest Princess said, "Mrs. N had new shoes on today!" I said, "Oh really? What color were they?" She proceeded to tell me, "you know, the color of your forehead!" Um, alrighty then! LOL
I keep forgetting it's Teacher Appreciation Week. Youngest Princess and I walked into school this morning and there was a mom there giving Youngest's teacher a floor puzzle. This mom's daughter had been in Mrs. N's class a previous year. Boy did I feel like a heel. I told Mrs. N that I just keep forgetting it's TAW, but we really do appreciate you!!
So any suggestions on what I should get? I thought maybe a gift certificate to a teacher supply place we have here. I'm just not sure she goes there. It's spendy! I may go take a look around though and see if I can find the perfect thing.
UGH! My mom just called me as she was taking Youngest Princess to school. I'd forgotten it's Teacher Appreciation Week. My friend's kids are bringing their teachers a daffodil. I don't have any flowers growing right now. I hope Youngest doesn't feel too bad. I told her to color her teacher a picture instead.
Youngest Princess and I went to see The World's Biggest Tea Party!! She absolutely loves My Little Ponies. She had a ball at the show! We were second row in the center, but it turns out they didn't sell the first row, so then we ended up being front and center!
We all survived Chuck E. Cheese. We blew through 100 tokens in no time. LOL It was fun to just hang out for a while and have fun. Found out too, that the manager decided that the school will get 20% of the money instead of only 15%. Woooooohooooo!
Guess where we're going tonight? Chuck E. Cheese. You are all jealous, I know it! LOL
Seriously though, we're doing a fund raiser for Youngest Princess's school. The school will get 15% of the money tonight. Hope they do well!!
Saturday we went to Build-A-Bear Workshop. Youngest Princess had gotten a gift card for there for Christmas. She made a beeline for this cute little pink and purple bear. I tried to show her the other ones she could pick, but she had blinders on. This was the bear for her!
First she got to stuff it:
Well, we're skipping out on dance class today. Youngest Princess is still coughing and stuffy. I'm sure the other parents would appreciate it. LOL Hopefully, one day soon, she'll be over this darn cold!! I called the doctor on Friday but they said even though she's had it so long, if she doesn't have a fever and she seems to be feeling ok, she's probably ok. She's been acting just fine all this while, just stuffy and coughing. I keep thinking every day she's getting better but then she starts coughing a ton. LOL
Last weekend we happened to go to Lowe's. While we were there, we saw they were having a kids project going on. Craig asked me if Youngest Princess was going to do it. I said that I thought you usually had to preregister for those sort of things. I saw a girl working at it and I asked her. She said, "you don't have to this month, we have extra kits" WOOHOO, Youngest was excited! She got her very own apron and nametag, just like the workers wear, goggles, hammer and her kit. All the tables were full, so we planted our behinds down on the floor. We followed the directions and made a real cute valentine "mailbox" thingy. Youngest had a blast and was very proud of herself. When she was done, she turned in her hammer (got to keep the apron and goggles) and got a certificate of completion and a patch I will sew onto her apron. I didn't have the camera, but I did have a trusty camera phone!
There's this strange white substance on the bathroom counter. I asked Youngest Princess what it was. Was it powder? Her response was, "no, it's toilet paper". Um, ok. Doesn't look like it, but upon closer inspection, it was, indeed, wet, soggy toilet paper. I then asked Youngest why there was wet toilet paper on the counter. You ready for this????
"I was making a snowman". Um, alrighty then.
I hope we don't need to call my dad, the plumber, to do a snowman rescue from the drain. LOL
