Today, we took Maggie with us on our walk. She does so much better on a leash than Charlie does. And, surprisingly, she seemed to enjoy the dog park, so we've decided to get dog park passes for both of the dogs this year.

Today is Janet's due date. but still no baby. I took a late Easter type picture with Jessica's bunny ears when she was a baby.

I bought this airplane toy on clearance at the end of last summer. Eric and Cole tried it out today. It didn't really work as good as I thought it would (I'm glad that I got it on sale).

Waiting, waiting, waiting for Jesse. And, brrrrrr, it was cold watching the game.

Another day, another body of water to explore. This time it was a small lake in another very nearby forest preserve that we've never been to before. Charlie still refuses to understand 'heel', though, no matter how much it must hurt him when he pulls & pulls on his leash.

I don't know what was worse, the garlic mustard weeds I started pulling in my yard or the slobs that I work with. Why would someone spill an iced coffee drink inside a building and not bother to bend over and clean it up?!?

We've grown to really like mangos in our house. Although, I don't really like cutting them up because I feel like I'm wasting so much of it.

This is what the amazing Coconut Prawn 'appetizer' looks like before you touch it... Come visit!!!

The only picture that I took today (and Dylan wasn't very happy about it). Dylan was loading some songs on to Cole's IPod for him.

On our way in to see "Patchwork - The Little House Life of Laura Ingalls Wilder" at COD, today. We won tickets to the show in the fun fair raffle & have been reading the books together for the past few weeks to get ready for today. She's liking the books as much as I remember liking them when I was her age.

This isn't the best picture - we've had so many robins in our yard lately. Gianni just loves it! He says "Birdie!" - atleast that is what we think he is saying! : )

Cole is reading the article in the Kane County Chronicle about Vaughn and his bowling scholarship.

Hmmmm?
DuKane on Kirk Rd always has some interesting and thought provoking sayings posted on their sign.

Allergies are really bothering me today. I struggled through work and then when I got home my eyes started itching really bad. Eric went to CVS for me and got me some new eye drops and a new box of Claritin.

My neighbors had the fire truck at their house because their fire alarms had been going off. So, my mom and G walked over to see the fire truck!

We explored a new (to us) park in West Chicago, today. It had a nice fishing pond and wading creek. I'm sure we'll be going back there again & again.

Madi and the little girls across the street use this "tunnel" under the street to go back and forth to each other's houses.

Brendan's first track meet! He is doing the hurdles and the high jump. He placed first in his heat in hurdles - He is not a big fan of doing the high jump (he said the coaches picked him to do high jump).

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...

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
