I love my new tank top!

Allergies are really bothering me today. I struggled through work and then when I got home my eyes started itching really bad. Eric went to CVS for me and got me some new eye drops and a new box of Claritin.

My neighbors had the fire truck at their house because their fire alarms had been going off. So, my mom and G walked over to see the fire truck!

Some days, well most of them, my work just keeps piling up.

We explored a new (to us) park in West Chicago, today. It had a nice fishing pond and wading creek. I'm sure we'll be going back there again & again.

Madi and the little girls across the street use this "tunnel" under the street to go back and forth to each other's houses.

Brendan's first track meet! He is doing the hurdles and the high jump. He placed first in his heat in hurdles - He is not a big fan of doing the high jump (he said the coaches picked him to do high jump).

This is the best picture I could take from the nice restaurant we were in, with my stupid camera, but the cropped version was what I was really seeing on tax day... The US flag was flying high, with the California and McDonald's flags flying beneath it.

I'm SURE that this has some deep meaning like, because the US and CA have taken "more than ALL" your money, you should really be eating at McDonald's...

I should be more careful blowing out candles. I even got wax on the wall.

At the Fun Fair silent auction, Annie won a breakfast with one of her favorite teachers (they're really all her favorites, though, I think). She brought this flowering plant with her when she went in early for the breakfast date, today.

Tightening up Cole's wheel before we head to the school's open house.

I took Madi and the child care kids to the Nippersink Creek today so that they could play and cool off in the water.

Need I say more...this picture makes me laugh

As part of our new goal of trying to teach Charlie how to walk nice on a leash (which is getting us out walking, too!), we went to a local forest preserve that we had never been to before. It had a nice walking trail, a slow-moving, muddy river & lots of trees to climb. We'll definitely be going back there again!

: ) Definitely Joe's son!

Playing peek-a-boo.

Apparently our bowling was really boring Wednesday nite!

It's kind of blurry, but this evening I looked out the window to see Jesse and Lance messing around in the backyard. They used logs to lay out a 3-sided rectangle shape. Then they drove the golf cart toward it, and at the last minute they turned the steering wheel so that the golf cart would slide sideways into the rectangle. As dangerous as it was, I was kind of impressed at how accurate they were.

A boy and his dog. Clint still wears his B-shirt from cousin's day at the Cougars game when we celebrated Mike's birthday.
