Waiting for our parent-teacher conference. She got done with the parents before us too quickly, I wasn't able to look at these books that she left out for us.

We had a visit from the fire department tonight because our CO alarm was going off. They couldn't find anything - so it might be a bad detector! Will be getting a new one tomorrow!

My old friend from college, Ann, is in the Chicago area this week, to celebrate Thanksgiving with her husband's family who live in the north suburbs. We met up at the kids' rocket launch today, then went out to dinner afterwards. It was nice seeing her again!

A week later and this is all that's left of Cole's birthday balloons. They don't have quite enough helium left to make it up any higher.

Spelling Club - playing hangman with window markers. We're only using one window at the next meeting. Annie & I were there for 30 minutes, after everyone went home, cleaning the windows & windowsills.

Aunt Donna brought Tabitha THE cutest socks I ever did see!!! It only slightly makes up for her stealing my mom for a night to go hang out with the Farrell Ten!! However I do hope you all had a terrific night & I love that you all got together at the same time!! I think grandma & grandpa were VERY pleased to see you all together! Share the pics please!!

Today James had another first grilled cheese sandwich and loved it paired with celery sticks with peanut butter. Later he tried what mommy made Pesto Tortellini with parmesan and bacon. It was soooo yummy. If anyone has a very yummy recipe that isn't too hard please let me know. I consider it the best gift ever!!

It's usually spoons, but this time it is forks that have completely disappeared. Not a single one left! We are eating with plastic forks until I can get to WalMart to buy some more. Or.....until SOME people look under their beds, on their dressers, in their closets.................

This is the little storefront art gallery in downtown West Chicago. It's where we met, today, to rehearse the play that I'm in now. It's an adaptation of 'The Gift of the Magi' & I'm playing Madame Sofronie, who also acts as the narrator in the show.

I got a hair cut today and they were doing free manicures for their 1 year anniversary - so I got this strange (to me) greenish color. It has grown on me since...
