A new bulletin board that I made earlier this week and put up today. It's supposed to say "Don't be afraid to read" but, I didn't have time to put the words up. If you haven't read a Scaredy Squirrel book yet...you should.

Shelby was helping me get some things from the PTO closet after school today, to get ready for tomorrow's dineout night. After we carried the stuff out to the car, he went exploring for a while in the wooded area by his school's parking lot.

I drove Cole to school this morning. On days that they have tests in math they have a before school study session. I think that he's gone to every one.

One of the local cheerleading teams had a dineout fundraiser at Dominick's Pizza tonight. The cook there went out of his way to make Shelby some delicious chicken that was safe for him to eat. Thanks!

My gym added a Spa about a month ago. Today they had a Facebook contest to win a free manicure or pedicure...I chose the pedicure.

Driving home from the gym, tonight, I realized that the road in front of our house was open going in both directions! We've had one lane or the other closed for construction since early last spring.

Cole's 4th grade class reunion. His teacher really liked this class and wants to get them together once a year. This is probably about half of the class.

We got out to work on the fort for a while tonight. The roof in one of the rooms had fallen down, so we had to clear it out & re-think the structure.

We went out for Cole's birthday to play a few rounds of lazer tag. He had 2 friends, 2 cousins, 2 brothers and 2 parents play with him.

I decided to make Cole pancakes for breakfast today since it is 11-11-11 and it is his last day to be 11 years old. I only wish that I had thought ahead and made them in the shape of a 1.

Woo-hoo! We're number 8! Colleen, Jim & I (along with two moms that I know from Annie's school) are a team in a weight-loss challenge through our work. We're 3 weeks in and just started showing on the rankings, because it took a while for everyone to get their official weigh-in. I was pretty excited to see us at number 8 of 65 teams from our employer (and number 27 of 163 teams overall). After Colleen entered her loss later in the evening, we shot up to #6 and #21!

They are learning swing dancing in gym class. Cole has been showing me some moves every night this week.

Between working second jobs, being in plays and I don't know what else, I feel like I haven't been to a PTO meeting for a year, now. I finally had a free week & made it to both Annie's school and Shelby's school PTO meetings. It's nice walking the halls of the schools at night, when it's all quiet.

Shel moved up from yellow belt to green belt, today. At the party after the belt ceremony, the kids all get to break a board. Once you make it to green belt, you break it with your foot instead of your hand.

Nap time after the pool and before the magic show - where Gianni got this awesome balloon thing!

We harvested the seeds from some of our sunflowers & tried planting one in the planter in our house. How fun that it sprouted! I think we'll need to transplant it into something deeper if we want it to keep on growing.

I auditioned for a play at a theater in Glen Ellyn, tonight. Annie came along to keep me company. The other actors there at auditions were so very good that I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to get a part in the show.

These are the girls that I drove to the field trip, today. We went to the Dupage County Historical Museum where they have an awesome display in honor of the 100th year anniversary of Girl Scouting.
