Me and my sweet son(s) - I realized that I did not take a picture with my babies on Mother's Day- I then realized that I did..haha! (Gianni is in the back of this picture!)

Happy Mother's day to me! Dylan, Vaughn and Cole made dinner for us tonight. It was delicious...pasta fresca, salad and garlic bread. Then hot fudge brownie sundaes for dessert. And, they cleaned up the kitchen! Thanks, boys!!!

Went out hiking by a lake in a nearby forest preserve. The kids wanted Charlie to follow them out to the island. Charlie just wanted to come back to dry land.

My sweet husband surprised me tonight. He sent us girls out for dinner and then to see Sugarland (a country band).

Joe set up an early birthday surprise for Miranda. He invited Lori, Mandi and I to have a "ladies night" with Miranda. We ate at Al Capone's Hideaway and then we went to see the country band "Sugarland". I was lots of fun and she was truly surprised! Good job, Joe!

I had a heck of a time trying to get a photo of Cole at his orchestra concert tonight. Despite him being in the first row every picture that I took had somebody elses violin right in his face. Finally I kinda caught him as they were bowing.

I'm sure all of you know this trick, but I just used it and was amazed. We had spaghetti sauce stuck to the top of the microwave. So, I put a bowl of water in the microwave and set it for a minute. Then was able to easily wipe off the sauce without scrubbing.

Went to the PTO Today Expo with some other moms, today. Got all kinds of samples, information & ideas there!

This is an egg I found in our landscape. I'm not sure where it came from considering there are no trees around it? I cannot find the nest, so I'm not sure what to do with it.

Molly's taking a little vacation again. It always seems so peaceful when I'm visiting her there :-)
Get better soon!

First trip to Tastee Freez this year. We were suprised that they were open, since they've had the 'Must Sell' sign up since last fall. I wish we had enough money to buy it.
