It was Crazy hat day at school. And, then at night we went to see "Weird Al" at the Arcada in St. Charles. We stuck around outside after the show to get his autograph.

We had 3 Memorial Day get-togethers to attend today. And, since the weather cooperated we hit all of them. There was a pool at each party.

Dylan came home and told us that something was going on down our street. He was waved around and had to take a different street. So, as we were looking down there trying to figure out what was going on. I got out some binoculars to see if that would help us see what all the commotion was about. It ended up being our street was flooded.

I noticed this about a week ago and finally decided to take a picture.
All of the products on this shelf in my shower are all in different color bottles...it's like a rainbow in there.

I went to our staff year end party tonight. It was at Acquaviva winery in Maple Park. This cross is right at the intersection by the restaurant. I actually don't like this picture it kinda creeps me out but I thought I would share. I remember hearing about this accident. It happened about 4 years ago. I got a call from the principal at Harrison who was concerned when hearing the name involved in the accident. She didn't think it added up since that Vaughn Olson was older and a police officer but she wanted to make sure.

Annie & I went down to El Coco Loco tonight for dinner, because it was 'dine-out night' for Shelby's school.

We had a read-through for Willy Wonka, the park district summer play, today. We met at Hawthorne's Backyard & the kids spent a lot of time playing in the sand volleyball court.

I love this website called picnik! If you haven't tried it, you should. You can do some very cool things with your pictures!

Walking our bikes through the tunnel that goes underneath the railroad tracks, on our way to the middle school, to sign her up for summer orchestra.

Happy Birthday Grandma! I can't help but think about her all day today! I wonder what she would have thought of me, as a wife and mom, and how she would feel about everyone else! Boy, I miss her!

Running out to our 'new' van, just after we paid for it.
Funny story...
We got our old van from our Dino Jump boss, Karyn. The bench seat in the old van is removable & was not attached when we got it from her 2 years ago. She could not find the bolts to hold it in place in her garage.
We checked with Ford dealers, conversion places - none of them could help us replace them, so we were never able to fit our whole family into that van at once. That's one of the reasons why we decided to buy this van, because it has room for everyone (and a couple more) when we go on a vacation.
Tonight, when we got home from buying the 'new' van, Karyn called.
Can you guess what she found in her garage? :-)

This makes me laugh - it is a place that sells tractors/lawn mowers, etc, but their lawn looks terrible!
