Today we went to Gymboree for the first time. James loves it and is going to go every week now. We also made him a ball pit and he loved it too.

Farrell was ref'ing the game. He had to call this as a goal for the other team. I wasn't paying close attention because I was taking pics. But, it was so close and, right or wrong, it's kids playing AYSO soccer - not million dollar MLS soccer and the coach was way out of line to argue with our volunteer refs - especially the ones who are kids themselves. So very frustrating to see the coaches forgetting the principles behind AYSO.

This is the corner store. It's in our old downtown area. Today on the way to Jesse's baseball game we saw a sign in the window that said, "Closing April 30." That's really sad. It was the old fashioned kind of store where the kids rode their bikes to and bought pop and candy. It was really convenient when we used to have to drive 15 miles to the nearest grocery store. But, we got a new Jewel a year or so ago, and I guess the corner store just couldn't hold it's own against the Jewel. At least my kids got a chance to experience the small town "corner store".

Today we went out for our anniversary. My dad came over and watched James,and we went out for dinner then we went to the carnival. The only ride I could ride was the ferris wheel since I'm expecting. But I got some cotton candy that I have been craving it was such a beautiful day today. Joe also got me a card and Chocolate covered Strawberries mmmm.

I pulled out of the barn an armoir that Nikki had stored there. Washed it up and I will bring it to her tomorrow. I am having a harder time than I thought I would with her moving. It's just kind of sad. I never like change.

Working the concession stand at baseball. Notice that Madi "decorated" the stand with her lizards. She had them sitting all over and around the candy.

This is the only picture that I took today...I decided yesterday to give the tanning bed (at the gym) a try. I don't think that I'll get tan...I am just hoping that it helps eliminate the terrible "farmer tan" that I get every year.

Happy Earth day. Today we tried another eco friendly diaper. It worked really well. Also Found Juneau in his favorite spot sleeping.

At musical rehearsals. The kids are having so much fun doing this show together! I can't wait to see it!

Today I had my first ever migraine headache. It started with seeing these zigzag flashes of light, and about 1/2 hr. later the headache came - right when I was in the middle of teaching and reading to the kids. Luckily Gabby was home and took over for an hour so I could lay down. I still feel weak from it. Does anyone else get these?

We got this shirt yesterday at the doctor! Isn't it cute? It says "Delivered by Dr. Homan!"

Today my kids were learning about recycling and reusing things. We melted the broken and stubby crayons and made new multi-color rainbow crayons.

Family Game Night at the library again tonight. This time there was one other family there (instead of just us). When Annie 'got married' in our game, she made a point of moving her pink peg from the drivers seat & letting her blue 'husband' peg drive. Where did that come from??? Shelby, then, did the same, except he moved his blue 'husband' peg into the passenger seat, letting the 'wife' drive, saying that he wanted to 'ride shotgun' :-) Annie later decided that her 'husband' and 'wife' would take turns driving, like dad & I do.

Eric held baseball practice indoors today (because of all the rain lately). They went to a new place in St. Charles called Kane County Dugout.

Ok..on Good Morning America they gave a guy the challenge to make a meal with random groceries they brought him. I just got home from Aldi's with this stuff. Wonder what I will make....Shrimp with bananas and honey buns? Oh the possibilities...

I am cheating, by only a few hours. This was at too early o"clock on Monday. Farrel leaving for class trip to space camp.

Well, I started the day cleaning out and reorganizing the freezer. I realized that we have a ton of frozen meals...so, I came up with a plan...We are going to be eating them for just about every meal this week (We'll save money and I will end up with some room in my freezer). Then the reorganizing just kept on happening-I cleaned through Vaughn and Cole's rooms (I am going to "freecycle" a few boxes of books and I have a few boxes of stuff for the Purple Hearts when them come on Thursday)...It'Margie April 19, 2009
Here is the church that we go to now. Someday I'll try to get a picture of the inside. It is beautiful. Last night I had a dream that Mom lived here - kind of like it was her house, but I was living here with my kids. In the dream I was leaving to take Jesse to church, and Mom was so happy that I was doing that. I was glad that she was happy but kept wondering where she had been all this time. Weird. So, I had so much to do today and was thinking of skippng church, but then I remembered the dream and figured that I had better go.
