today we drove past our soon to be new home. Can't wait to move in!!

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.

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.

Took the babies a bath together for the first time. Really cuts time in half.

Marla April 13, 2010

I have NEVER discharged my static electricity before fueling...have you?

The ducks have been back for about 2 weeks now. Today was their photo shoot.

Saw this over by the little stream in the stand of trees that borders the field between the far parking lot & work today. It's an empty lockbox of some kind and a portfolio - the kind where you might keep important papers. It's probably been buried under the snow & ice all winter. I hate to think of the panic felt by the people who it was probably stolen from, months ago.

Waiting for Jesse's bus to come back from the baseball game.

Miranda April 13, 2010

We are trying to get our neighbors together and have a block party. I picked up the application today from the police department. There are only 13 houses including us, so we hope we get lots of participation!

If you look very closely you will see a tiny little ponytail. Emily got her first haircut from mommy.
