Whose afraid of the big bad wolf?
Gianni had his last day of preschool today. His class performed a play amongst many other activities for the families. Gianni played the role of a pig during the first performance. Then, one of the kids did not want to be the wolf for the second performance, so Gianni proudly stepped in the role. The teacher was nervous (because we never know what we are going to get from Gianni) so she encouraged another teacher to stay close to help him. Well, it must have been the thousand times that we've read the book, but Gianni did fabulous and Joe and I are SO proud! 'Til next year!

The school library will be open a few times over the summer...so, I made a new bulletin board today.

Teacher gifts... I was so sad when Gianni started school, now I'm sad that it is over....

I made this quick sign for some of Joe's business cards and put it in the teacher's lounge. Only had about 8 cards to put in it...but, two days later all of the cards were gone. I hope Joe gets some work out of it.

Even though this picture makes me nervous (being close to the screen so high up...), it was kind of cute that I was being spied on!

We tried using a solar box oven to bake brownies while we were at the pool, today. It was definitely hot in the box, when we got home, but we still had to finish baking them in the oven.

Best toy ever

Tabitha watching her dad go down to the driveway to get her the ball that she saw down there. As soon as he climbed over the gate & handed it to her, she threw it right back down again, probably hoping that she'd get to watch him go down to get it again.

Marla May 25, 2012

I cleaned out under one of my bathroom sinks today...never knew that I had so much make-up stuff down there.

Wow! My rose bush has gone crazy! If any of you know how, and want to take a starter off of it, you are welcome!

Maureen May 23, 2012

Almost, almost, almost done with homework for the school year. There can't be much more after tonight, right?

Trying to see the eclipse. Not sure if we ever saw it in the pinhole box, but think that I might have seen a glimpse of it while dangerously looking quickly at and then away from the sun.

Marla May 19, 2012

We took Cole and a friend to a new place in St. Charles (Under the Big Top).

No other way I would like to celebrate my birthday, other than holding this little boy's hand.

Gianni awoke from his nap and then fell back asleep on the couch. I think the cat enjoyed having someone to cuddle with!

Maureen May 16, 2012

When Tim let us use this metal detector, he warned us that it was a kid magnet at parks. We weren't there a minute before a crowd started to form. Didn't find anything more interesting than old bottle caps today, but we're looking forward to getting out there again!

Miranda May 15, 2012

Nothing says Summer like saying "Cheers" with Popsicles! : )

Shel won a gift certificate for Prosek's Greenhouse in a raffle basket earlier this spring. We went shopping with it after school today & got all kinds of fruits & vegetables for the yard.

Maureen May 13, 2012

We moved the bean teepee to the other side of the house, this year, since the kids 'hole to china' is right in the spot where we used to have the bean teepee.
