Well, we're headed to the beach tomorrow after my Dad gets home from work....probably about 1:00 pm or so. We're headed to the Outer Banks, specifically Rodanthe, NC to camp in my parents' pop-up camper. Yeah, I know....to some people camping at the beach is out of the question. You have to know how we go before you make a judgement: our pop-up is fully equipped with microwave, refrigerator, air conditioning, cable TV, and wifi! You didn't really think I could live without a wifi connection, did you? Roughin' it? HARDLY! The only difficult part (but not unreasonable) is that the bathroom is a short walk away from our campsite! Well, ya can't have it all, can you?

Here's a picture of an example of our camper (it's a pretty close likeness...the color is a little off):




My next blog: Pics from our trip to the OBX!

The New Princess Giselle

Well, her dress came pretty quickly! And yes, you're seeing correctly: it is too big. I'll wait until a few weeks before we go to allow her some growing time and then I'll have my seamstress take it up. Isn't she just gorgeous in it? I can't wait to see her in September when we go, when it's the right size and ironed!



(She was tired of taking pics by this point!)

My Little Princess

Well, I ordered Peyton's dress for our upcoming trip to Disney World. Last year she wanted to dress as Belle for our breakfast at Cinderella's Royal Table.
This year we're going to the Princess Storybook Breakfast at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall, Norway, Epcot.
She has decided that this year she wants to be Giselle from Enchanted. As always, trying to pinch pennies, I waited to buy her dress thinking the price would drop even lower (it's on sale....it was $79.95 and now it's $49.95). So, of course, what happens? They don't have her size! So, I bought a 7 (she's really in a 6) hoping that the 7 will fit by the time we go to Disney in September/October. If not, I'll have my seamstress take it up.

Then I went to buy the shoes, tiara, and earrings that match and of course.....they dont have the shoes in her size and they've sold out of the tiara and earrings! UGGGGHHHHH!!! That's what I get for being so cheap! So, now I'm hoping that the fall collection of costumes will have shoes and a tiara and earrings that I can get for her! Guess we'll see......

Here's the dress I ordered:


She's going to be just beautiful! Can hardly wait until our trip! 88 days and counting!
