Working the concession stand at baseball. Notice that Madi "decorated" the stand with her lizards. She had them sitting all over and around the candy.

This is the only picture that I took today...I decided yesterday to give the tanning bed (at the gym) a try. I don't think that I'll get tan...I am just hoping that it helps eliminate the terrible "farmer tan" that I get every year.

Happy Earth day. Today we tried another eco friendly diaper. It worked really well. Also Found Juneau in his favorite spot sleeping.

Today I had my first ever migraine headache. It started with seeing these zigzag flashes of light, and about 1/2 hr. later the headache came - right when I was in the middle of teaching and reading to the kids. Luckily Gabby was home and took over for an hour so I could lay down. I still feel weak from it. Does anyone else get these?

We got this shirt yesterday at the doctor! Isn't it cute? It says "Delivered by Dr. Homan!"

Today my kids were learning about recycling and reusing things. We melted the broken and stubby crayons and made new multi-color rainbow crayons.

Family Game Night at the library again tonight. This time there was one other family there (instead of just us). When Annie 'got married' in our game, she made a point of moving her pink peg from the drivers seat & letting her blue 'husband' peg drive. Where did that come from??? Shelby, then, did the same, except he moved his blue 'husband' peg into the passenger seat, letting the 'wife' drive, saying that he wanted to 'ride shotgun' :-) Annie later decided that her 'husband' and 'wife' would take turns driving, like dad & I do.

Eric held baseball practice indoors today (because of all the rain lately). They went to a new place in St. Charles called Kane County Dugout.

I am cheating, by only a few hours. This was at too early o"clock on Monday. Farrel leaving for class trip to space camp.

Well, I started the day cleaning out and reorganizing the freezer. I realized that we have a ton of frozen meals...so, I came up with a plan...We are going to be eating them for just about every meal this week (We'll save money and I will end up with some room in my freezer). Then the reorganizing just kept on happening-I cleaned through Vaughn and Cole's rooms (I am going to "freecycle" a few boxes of books and I have a few boxes of stuff for the Purple Hearts when them come on Thursday)...It'Margie April 19, 2009
Here is the church that we go to now. Someday I'll try to get a picture of the inside. It is beautiful. Last night I had a dream that Mom lived here - kind of like it was her house, but I was living here with my kids. In the dream I was leaving to take Jesse to church, and Mom was so happy that I was doing that. I was glad that she was happy but kept wondering where she had been all this time. Weird. So, I had so much to do today and was thinking of skippng church, but then I remembered the dream and figured that I had better go.

Farrell volunteers referees AYSO soccer games. Today was opening day and he worked all day (9-3). He got a bit sunburned and got to ref Annie's game. I hear he had to enforce some rules on her, sorry Maureen. He loves doing this.

Gianni met his great grandma for the first time...It got me thinking how I really wish Gianni could have met my grandparents. I know they can see him, but I wonder what they think of me being a parent, etc. Wonderful thoughts run through my head when I think of my grandparents!Mirans

Found lots of cool stuff in Nikki's attic - an old trunk, a wicker doll buggy, a mirror on a stand, toys, newspapers, postcards, and a bunch of valentines - all from around 1930. We laughed about this valentine, "Lawsy Goodness, can't you see, You am sho de one fo me? Listen, Honey, is you gwine, Be my little Valentine?" Can you imagine the outrage if one of these was passed out now?

Baby lilacs. I wonder if they've already got all of that wonderful aroma inside of them at this point, or if it somehow develops in the sunshine as they bloom.

Today another beautiful day. So I gave the dogs a treat. They were supposed to take turns but sometimes they just couldn't wait. They love their doggie ice cream. Then later me,Joe and James went for Ice Cream! yummy.

Gianni was a hit at the Moose...This is Gianni and Mr. Biddle. Mr. Biddle paraded Gianni all over! It was very cute!

Madi is laying on the kitchen floor playing, and she says, "Look, there's a skull on the ceiling!" For Easter, she got this starfish that you put in water and it grows. It was sitting in a bowl of water by the sliding glass door, the sun was shining in on it, and somehow it reflected a skull onto the ceiling!

Today was such a beautiful day! Me and James were in the backyard on the deck playing in the sun. Riley and Juneau were there too. But James got his first cut on his finger not sure how, so i put a bandaid on his finger but during his nap it disappeared. Than we went on a walk and took the dogs along with us it got cooler outside though.
