Several years ago we had a kindergartener die. Her parents bought this statue in her memory and it is in the courtyard right by the library. I liked how she looked today as the snow was falling down. She really seemed to be welcoming it.

This has been a long time coming!
Weight Watchers gives awards for reaching milestones. The silver washer is imprinted with 25lbs. I got this waaaay back in June of 2008 just six months after joining Weight Watchers. Today, I finally got the copper colored washer imprinted with 50lbs.

Cole and I went to Fabyan forest preserve after school today to try out the brand new snow. Sledding was not very good (it hadn't been packed down yet). So, we wandered around the grounds.

This is what I am greeted by everyday when I return home from work. The picture is blurry but the best one of the five I took. Ellie is too excited to stand still. Wonder if she is saying "I'm so glad you're home" or "Where have you been? I'm hungry and I have to go out!"

I hope that this is the last pretty snow picture that I have to take this winter.

Harrison Street School trivia night. It was a PTO fundraiser for Cole's school. We didn't do so well but we had lots of fun.

Finally moved into our apartment, we were supposed to move in yesterday and they couldn't wait 15 mins for me to arrive so we had to spend another night in a hotel. and today we missed the cable guy so no internet, phone, or cable till the 25th. What a nightmare.

Nikki's picture was in a college ad in a local paper that is delivered free to the residents in Waukegan. They were supposed to let her know when they were going to use it. So she is going to call to see if there were/are going to be any billboards.

This is the dumpster that they rented at work. For the past few days, the guys in my department have been filling it with all kinds of stuff that our company wants to get rid of. Some of it looks like cool stuff that could be used for all kinds of things. It was so hard for me to walk by every day & not start taking things out of it.

I got new glasses a couple of weeks ago and have found the entire experience to be frustrating. What a pain!

Went to see Farrell in 'Our Town' at the high school tonight. I had to leave 20 minutes into Act 3, so I didn't see the very end. So, I'm going to pretend that the main character got all better & everything ended all happy & upbeat!

Why did the squirrel cross the road?
To get to the Hot Boiled Peanuts, of course... but Original or Cajun??? Original, I think...

I cleaned my closet today. Pulled everything out and then tried all of it on (including the dress that I wore in Miranda and Joe's wedding).

This picture is actually from last night. After the volcano experiment, we mixed up cornstarch and water to make "magic mud." It is hard and smooth. When you pick it up, the heat of your hand makes it liquid and slimy. It looks like a mess, but she had fun, and it was really easy to clean up.

We were driving home from dinner tonight and there was a huge crazy "Cheshire Cat smile" moon in the sky. I took 8 pictures of it, but absolutely none of them turned out... So you will all have to just image it! [and I will have to get on-line and figure out how to zoom the camera on my stupid phone...]

Madi wanted to be a scientist and mix a bunch of things together to see what would happen. She started with milk and water. Then came syrup, oil, an egg, kool-aid, and sprinkles. Lance suggested baking soda, which of course, has to be followed with vinegar for the volcano effect! She had so much fun with this.

After spending a long time at Babies R Us today, I finally picked out the next car seat for Gianni. I can't believe how hard it is to pick out a car seat..and that G is going to be a year old already!

I went with Madi and her Daisy troop to the American Girl Doll factory. We dug Gabby's Addy doll out of the attic to go along on the trip.
