Shel & I have started exploring the northern part of Blackwell Forest Preserve these past few days. Today, he rescued a soccer ball from the DuPage River.

Working on the set for the play that the youth group is doing for Easter

I've been saying that I need to get a new plant...it finally happened.

I guess that I will clean out this drawer...now that I dropped it all over the floor.

Maureen February 27, 2012

Beginning orchestra & intermediate band had a conveniently combined concert tonight.

Eric actually went with me today to pick up some groceries...he rarely goes with me. And, I was reminded of the reason that he never goes with me...he is so impatient.

Annie's school had a skating event at Funway tonight.

Miranda February 26, 2012

So, for those of you who were wondering...this trick didn't work so well - The rag ended up smelling kind of "burnt" and not like fabric softener. What a bummer!

We have a humidifier in our house, but it didn't seem to be working correctly tonight. Our house was so dry that I couldn't sleep - so weird! I can always sleep (if the kids let me!) : ) So, I laid on the couch for most of the night....

Cole shooting a free throw.

Our home phone hasn't been working for weeks now. We found some time to try to fix it today, but still haven't found the problem. It works at the box outside the house, so the problem has to be inside, somewhere - probably in this tangle of wires...

Gianni's fine picture taking skills

Marla February 24, 2012

I have been using that bottom fork for my snacks at work for about a month...I finally decided today to take a walk up to the lounge to get a new one.

Annie February 24, 2012

Look what I made!

Jen February 24, 2012

Today was so beautiful out 80 degrees. went outside and just relaxed on a chair. Then later Emily helped me with a healthy dinner. She loved helping.

Gabriele has two more teeth coming in. So, he has been a bit fussy. Gianni and I made him a place to camp out on the floor. We all then laid around a watched a movie.

Maureen February 23, 2012

Took Al to the orthodontist, today. Afterwards we stopped at a grocery store that had an unusual number of Gorton's fisherman cutouts on display.

Andrea February 23, 2012

We decided to give TJ a bowl of frozen berries. I am not sure the stains will ever come out of her skin.

I LOVE these curls on Gabriele - but, people have been calling him a "girl" - maybe it's time for a hair cut?

Andrea February 22, 2012

What I found on the couch when I got home. Sooooo sweet!

Maureen February 22, 2012

Shelby's school has a tradition where the 6th grade students each create a square that's put together in a quilt that's hung up on the walls of the school. He's just starting his square. They need a parent (or relative or friend or supporter) to sew all the squares together into a quilt, if anyone's interested in helping out.

I LOVE the show The Office & now it seems you can buy paper from the show. My boss also loves it, so I just may have to buy him a ream.

Maureen February 20, 2012

Had a coupon in my email this morning for 'kids eat free' at Old Country Buffet. Took this pic after we were done eating. They are not acting sick because the food was bad, but because it was so yummy that they ate way too much.

Meow Meow thinks this mouse is her "baby" - She cries every night when we turn the lights out. When we go to her, she is sitting with her baby. It's kinda cute, although it scares me because she cries so loud.

Andrea February 18, 2012

My friend Charisse came by this evening for a couple of beers and to play with the babies.

Maureen February 18, 2012

Went out to Red Oak Nature Center for a while this evening, in between delivering Girl Scout cookies.

Brothers

Andrea February 17, 2012

It looked like the train had lights on it, but it was just light reflecting off the decals (??) on the side of the train.

Maureen February 17, 2012

Annie & I have the first shift at her troop's Girl Scout Cookie booth sale tomorrow morning at WeGo Jewel. She made a poster for us to put up at our table.

If you ordered cookies from Annie, we hope to deliver them all some time this weekend.

Yum...ice cream!

Andrea February 16, 2012

I took a later train in so I could have a little Molly & Me time.

Maureen February 16, 2012

I was invited to the school board meeting, tonight, along with the spelling bee champions. The board members wanted to congratulate all of the kids & thank me for organizing it all. They gave me some flowers and, when I got home, Shel arranged them nicely for me, in a vase.
