Finally moved into our apartment, we were supposed to move in yesterday and they couldn't wait 15 mins for me to arrive so we had to spend another night in a hotel. and today we missed the cable guy so no internet, phone, or cable till the 25th. What a nightmare.

Before their sleepover

Nikki's picture was in a college ad in a local paper that is delivered free to the residents in Waukegan. They were supposed to let her know when they were going to use it. So she is going to call to see if there were/are going to be any billboards.

This is the dumpster that they rented at work. For the past few days, the guys in my department have been filling it with all kinds of stuff that our company wants to get rid of. Some of it looks like cool stuff that could be used for all kinds of things. It was so hard for me to walk by every day & not start taking things out of it.

Miranda February 19, 2010

I got new glasses a couple of weeks ago and have found the entire experience to be frustrating. What a pain!

Went to see Farrell in 'Our Town' at the high school tonight. I had to leave 20 minutes into Act 3, so I didn't see the very end. So, I'm going to pretend that the main character got all better & everything ended all happy & upbeat!

Why did the squirrel cross the road?

To get to the Hot Boiled Peanuts, of course... but Original or Cajun??? Original, I think...

Maggie February 18, 2010

My job is "cool"!

Marla February 18, 2010

What a beautiful day for a car wash.

On our way to Virginia...

Marla February 17, 2010

I cleaned my closet today. Pulled everything out and then tried all of it on (including the dress that I wore in Miranda and Joe's wedding).

Maureen February 17, 2010

Ahhh! The first samoa of the year! Yum!

Margie February 17, 2010

This picture is actually from last night. After the volcano experiment, we mixed up cornstarch and water to make "magic mud." It is hard and smooth. When you pick it up, the heat of your hand makes it liquid and slimy. It looks like a mess, but she had fun, and it was really easy to clean up.

Miranda February 17, 2010

Hmmm...6:03pm...G's in bed (crazy, I know! I'm worried he will be up at 3am!), Joe's at bowling....what to do with myself??

Our last night at my mom's and in IL.It was sad.

Marla February 16, 2010

Look who we ran into on our way to Hapkido tonight.

Betty February 16, 2010

We were driving home from dinner tonight and there was a huge crazy "Cheshire Cat smile" moon in the sky. I took 8 pictures of it, but absolutely none of them turned out... So you will all have to just image it! [and I will have to get on-line and figure out how to zoom the camera on my stupid phone...]

Margie February 16, 2010

Madi wanted to be a scientist and mix a bunch of things together to see what would happen. She started with milk and water. Then came syrup, oil, an egg, kool-aid, and sprinkles. Lance suggested baking soda, which of course, has to be followed with vinegar for the volcano effect! She had so much fun with this.

Maureen February 16, 2010

Happy Paczki Day!

Miranda February 16, 2010

After spending a long time at Babies R Us today, I finally picked out the next car seat for Gianni. I can't believe how hard it is to pick out a car seat..and that G is going to be a year old already!

Emily's first sleepover at Grandmas without mommy. Me and Joe were packing till 3 am and still weren't done. We have to be done by tomorrow.

These are Joe's friends from high school. We met them out for a couple of drinks tonight.

Maureen February 13, 2010

The kids' favorite park, lately, is Fabyan. Not to go sledding, but to hike around, feed the ducks & geese & climb the trees. I took them there today, after making them go out to do boring errands with me this afternoon.

Margie February 13, 2010

Jesse and I went to the monster truck show. The green truck is the "Gravedigger."
