Jesse needed new shoes for this school year. He wanted these Nike ID's that you customize and order online. I told him that I only budgeted a certain amount for shoes. So, he used his saved birthday money to supplement, and ordered these. I wonder what they thought when they were putting on the words "poopy pants."

Gianni's doctor has recommended us getting a lead test for Gianni since he spends a lot of time at my parents house which was built before 1978. The doctor seemed like he was telling us that just to 'be safe' because he said that the state is cracking down on it.

We went out to enjoy the weather, tonight, after homework & work were done.

Gianni played with whip cream at the museum today - actually he ate it more than played with it!

We walked down to the library tonight, to make copies, then stopped at local businesses on our way home, asking if they'd like to buy advertisements in the "Ramona" program. Annie borrowed another cookbook from the library. I can't wait to see what she & Dad cook up next!

Cole forgot his math book at school. So, instead of running back to school he called a friend and borrowed his book. Cole rode his bike down to Zach's house got the book, then brought it home and we Xeroxed the page. And, then Cole rode is bike back to return the book.

Boy am I exhausted tonight, we had a very busy day. First I went to a doc appt and the kids went to daycare while I was there. I am going to pain management and pt for my back I was told I have 2 degenerative discs and it looks like a little scoliosis I think that's how you spell it. Then we went to the mall to get James and Emily new shoes, This is Emily's first walking shoes. She is now trying to walk. My back and legs are killing me from all the walking we did today. Can't wait to see Joe tomorrow night.

Showing me all of the things that she got at 'store' at school today. She brings home this much stuff two or three times a week. It's nice to know she's behaving and earning 'dollars' to use at the 'store', but she's got plenty of toys & stuffed animals already!

Eric's birthday (I didn't have the flash on). And, Cole reading to Gianni. We went to Miranda and Joe's house to watch the Packers/Bears game.

Maggie frolicking (or, maybe, just running around the yard in a panic until someone lets her back inside where she can hide in her corner again). We like to think that she's frolicking, though.

Cole is trying out the new push broom that I bought today. The squirrels are just having a field day with the acorns on that tree. And, they make such a mess on the driveway. Whenever Cole wants to play basketball or skateboard we sweep the driveway off.

Today we went to the mall real quick we barely made it, we ended up taking to long cause the store we parked by closed on us so we went through and emergency exit instead and ended up half way around the mall from where we parked and it was raining. James and Emily were in the stroller and Emily was covered and as you can see James was not he was screaming in the rain but having fun. I was soaked and so was James.

Bye, bye swimming for this year....see you next summer. Jesse had the distinction of being the last swimmer of this season when he had to jump in today to retrieve a bag of sand that fell off the steps that it was holding down. Brrrr!! By the way, Colleen, how did you do with you pool? All fixed? Still need help?
Maureen September 26, 2010
Went to church, this morning, in Naperville, then drove over to spend some time with Allison. We went out to eat at Red Robin! (Yum!)

Today was James and Emily's first class on Saturday. James and Emily had fun but boy did it tire me out

Cole is learning to skateboard from Fred and Tommy (a couple of the guys from "Secret Colours"). This is in Tommy's backyard. (It's pretty cool he has a half pipe in his backyard).
Maureen September 25, 2010
He picked some flowers for his mom. I don't think they'll survive until tomorrow, though, so I'll share them with all of you here, now.

These are the only apples I have left after making applesauce and apple topping today. Now, what to do with these ones?

Eric and I went to my class reunion tailgate party tonight. It was actually quite fun (I wasn't so sure that it would be). I am not planning on going to the actual fancier class reunion tomorrow night though.

The elementary schools have a "cheering" contest every year at the homecoming pep rally. Harrison St. School (Cole's school) won this year.
Maureen September 23, 2010
Registering to vote, so that she can vote 'Yes' on the school referendum in November. (And whatever else she wants to vote for, too)

I am wearing my prescription sunglasses at work. It is a long story...I am in a training class this week...one of the trainees forgot his glasses and was not able to see to take a test we had to take today...if you fail the test, you no longer have a job...So, I let him see if he could see with my glasses and he could, so I let him borrow mine...But then I could not see too well to take my test and I remembered I had these sunglasses in my car...I don't use them often but they came in handy today even though I was out of dress code...but under the circumstances, no one mentioned it.

Charlie gets all excited when he sees us using the can opener. It all started with Jim letting him lick out tuna cans from time to time. Tonight, Charlie was so hopeful looking that I let him have the creamed corn can that I had just emptied. I didn't think he'd like it. But, he did.

Cole is back from Outdoor Ed. (Don't worry I got that bandana for Max since his hands were full)

Marmion is having a corn maze and pumpkin sale on weekends. They even built a new building for the occasion. The barn type building went up in about a week or two. I saw the progression as I drove to work each day.

I spent a good part of today moving Cole's stuff into his new room (aka Vaughn's old room)
Molly September 21, 2010
Bought stuff for a nice breakfast on Sunday. Since I slept until 1:00ish and the boys had already ate, we had breakfast for dinner tonight.

A beautiful sky on my way home from work about 6:30p. I had been at work since 6am so this was a wonderful sight.

Gianni loves these frogs. They really belong to our neighbors, but I told her how G loves to play with them when we walk by her house. When we awoke today, we found them on our doorstep!
