Today was Grandparent's Day at Cole's school. Tim and I went as his visitors. Here is Cole with a picture he drew of his actual grandparents, Eric's Mom and Dad.
Miranda April 30, 2010
We are at the hotel in Iowa for my cousins wedding. I'm not sure who was having more fun! : )
Marla April 30, 2010
Cole interviewing his surrogate grandparents. For "Grandparents Day" at school.

Contemplating jello on a fork at Old Country Buffet. We met Jim there for dinner tonight after he set up some jumps at a party.
Margie April 30, 2010
The teachers at Madi's school put on a talent show tonight. That is Madi's kindergarten teacher - "Girls Just Want To Have Fun."

I went to the doctor today cause I just haven't felt good for 2 1/2 weeks. He thinks it's just allergies but prescribed an antibiotic for me (probably just to shut me up). He also told me that I should have an epi-pen. I'm not sure that I believe him. I didn't get the epi-pen prescription filled today (maybe I will another day).
Colleen April 29, 2010
My exercise equipment for the night. I mowed the front yard and the front part of the back yard. It took 1 hour and 15 minutes. I'll have to handle the woods on Sunday if it does not rain.

Got my hair cut today. One of my family's game me a spa gift card for Christmas. I have gotten these before, and I know it is a lovely gift, but I don't enjoy going to spas. I feel so out of place. All these upscale ladies with perfect hair and nails, talking about their latest trip to Europe. I never know who to tip and how much. The girl who washes my hair, the one who brings coffee, the one who actually cuts my hair. And do I tip them when they do the service, leave it at the desk, chase them around to give it? It is just too much anxiety. And, the $40 cut is no better than the $12 one I get at Cost Cutters. Not to mention $20 bottles of shampoo. For that price I can get 20 bottles on Suave. I am just a fish out of water in a spa.

Discussing highly important rules at our bowling banquet! : ) Go team Wall Street Gang! We tied for second this year!
Colleen April 28, 2010
Our bowling banquet was tonight. Here is our team. We came in 3rd place. We were technically tied for 2nd but the other team had a larger total pin count than us.

My neighbor gave me some of this plant several years ago with the warning that it would spread. It is a nice plant and fits is nice in the woods of my yard. But as she had warned, it has grown from a patch maybe 3 feet round to about 8 feet around. I will need to move some of it to another bare spot.
Marla April 27, 2010
Eric, Vaughn, Amanda, Farrell and I went to a taping of "America's Got Talent". It was so much fun! You'll have to ask one of us about it sometime.

Camera... broken :-(
But, I got an early mother's day present to replace it, so that I could take a picture of the broken camera :-)
Colleen April 26, 2010
I cleaned out all the restaurant menus in the cupboard and got rid of duplicates and menus for restaurants that are no longer in business.
Miranda April 26, 2010
Might not sound exciting, but we got mulch today at the park across the street from us!

Annie learned some new hand clapping games at girl scout camp last night and is teaching them to Allison
Colleen April 25, 2010
Tonight at work was crazy. This is the schedule, everyone colored in red called in 'sick'. I was left with me and one other rep. I made a bunch of phone calls and thankfully one other girl came in to help. I must say that if I had to be stuck with just two reps, I'm glad I had the two that I did.
Miranda April 25, 2010
We had a asiago cheese pasta tonight. Gianni managaed to eat everything but the tomatoes and asparagus! He then ate the asparagus, but left the tomatoes!
Marla April 25, 2010
Vaughn is so happy! Before we left town we met up with Vaughn's college bowling coach so that he could pick up his new bowling ball.
Margie April 25, 2010
The beginnings of a solar swimming pool heater. You would think that I would have inherited some genes that would make me able to put a screw or a nail in straight, but no such luck. Anyhow, I hope that this heater will work.

last night after I took the dogs out I heard a shot that was very close by. I called 911. Today the cops came to make sure everyone was ok since they received more phone calls last night. That is when we found the bullet hole on the side of our apartment I missed the bullet by only 8 minutes.
Marla April 24, 2010
On the campus of McKendree University (after we stopped at the bookstore to get new t-shirts)
Colleen April 24, 2010
Tonight I went into Chicago and had dinner with Clint and Sarah at a Mexican restaurant. Then later we went for ice cream.
Margie April 24, 2010
I've been spending so much time doing work outside, now things are backing up inside.

Marla April 23, 2010
Another clock picture. We are headed to Lebanon, Illinois to visit McKendree University (where Vaughn will be going next year). We left so late because we had to wait for Vaughn to get off work and we have to be at the college at 9am. We left Geneva at 11:30pm and arrived at our hotel at about 4:15AM. My body is going to be so messed up from my crazy sleep pattern this past few days.
Colleen April 23, 2010
I saw this on my way to work and thought it was funny. Under the picture of the eagle on this wheelcover is real life bird poop. (This picture did not turn out well but I didn't want to take another cause I thought the people in the car might think I was stalking them.)

Joe has duty tomorrow so he celebrated our 5 year anniversary today. He know I love my sweets and snacks. It was a nice surprise.
Marla April 22, 2010
That is 5:07 AM!!! I was up, ready and waiting for Colleen to pick me up to go to Oprah. FYI-I am NOT a morning person.
Miranda April 22, 2010
Marla, my mom and I went to see Oprah today. Cameras must be "checked" if you bring them into her studio, so we left ours in the car. So, I never took any pictures at her studio...and this one if off the internet. I wasn't too impressed with Oprah though. Kind of disappointed by her acutally. But the experience, and being with Marla and my mom, made it all worth while!
Colleen April 22, 2010
I got to babysit for Gianni today while Miranda, Donna and Marla went to the Oprah show. I was having so much fun playing with him that I forgot to take a picture, so I took a picture of a picture.
Donna April 22, 2010
This was our view at the crack of dawn, as Miranda, Marla, and I headed to the Oprah show. It was beautiful, but AWFULLY early!
Maureen April 22, 2010
The old computer finally broke in a way that made it seem more reasonable to just get a new one rather than trying, again, to fix the old one. Jim moved some of the parts from our old one into the new one, though, before plugging it in.

Janet had the baby today. I felt like I was right there even though is was far away. She let me be on the phone to hear everything. when I heard the baby and everyone scream it was a boy it made me soo happy I cried. I really wished I could have been there. It was soo nice my Dad and mom were in the room with Janet and Ben to see the baby being born. I'm so happy I got to be a part of Baby Brady Gordon Schmidt's delivery.
Marla April 21, 2010
While waiting to get my hair cut today I was looking for a magazine to browse through. All that they had was haircut/style magazines and Men's magazines...boring!
