Our days are littered with these little stinky packages.

Annie helped me get the first semi-final spelling bee set up & ready to go. It always makes my volunteering more fun when Annie comes with to help out.

I picked Dylan and Vaughn up from the airport tonight (returning from their trip to Sundance Film Festival) They were supposed to come home last night but their flight was overbooked and they gave up their seats. They were given a hotel room for the night and a $500 travel voucher (each) for their trouble (and missed day of school). Now they can't decide where they should go with those vouchers (they do have lots of ideas though)

My kids went to the children's daycare at the gym today - they have been before, but haven't always done well...today was a different story - they loved it! It was so cute to watch them play and interact with the other children!

Wyatt is turning into quite a big boy already. Slow down mister!!

I'm going to start working with 3 children, so today I got out some of my therapeutic tools. I'm pretty excited to work with them!

January Sibling get together. I put them to work on sorting some pictures from Aunt Mary Lou's house. Some to Rachael, some to Jim & Judy and some to Mary Jo. Then we had a lot of photos with people and places that we didn't recognize.

Sorting through Aunt Mary Lou's pictures, at our sibling get together. Thanks, Marla!

Pretty sure it's a conspiracy.

I don't think this is working anymore, but I don't really know. I really dislike trying to figure this stuff out!

Jim took them tubing this morning. When they got home, they worked together to make themselves a complicated breakfast.

This damn thing didn't work all last night & through half of today. Coldest night of the year. Snuggled all night long with the babies & Nathan.

Last day of Spelling Club. We watched 'Akeelah & the Bee' & ate popcorn.

I love taking the kids out in the snow, but it's hard because Gianni never wants to come back in and Gabriele isn't so much a fan of the snow yet...so, I decided the boys could help me bake since we were kinda snowed in. We made healthy 6 week muffins (you make the batter, put it in the fridge and then take it out as needed so you always have warm out of the oven muffins!) and fudge.

Marla January 20, 2012

Eric and Cole went to an overnight sleepover at the Field Museum in Chicago. The snowstorm put quite a new twist on their travels there. And, the next photo shows all of the free "swag" that Dylan and Vaughn got on Day 1 of their trip to the Sundance Film Festival.

I cross this bridge 2x a day & everytime I see this I wonder how many years it has been here.

Maureen January 19, 2012

Leaving the library, where I'd gone to put in an application for a part-time job.

Miranda January 19, 2012

Gianni helped me carry in some groceries tonight - I guess I should not have let him carry the flour....

Marla January 19, 2012

I had a rebate form for this product (that would have made it free) and I had the hardest time finding it in the right size (20 lbs). I found it at Target in the wrong size but it had a different rebate form on the box so I decided to get it. It will end costing less that $3.00. Thought I would share...maybe you want to go get some too. FYI-It is for Dylan's cat (I buy it for them when I see it on a good sale)

My train HOME!
