I started working on the mittens that I am learning to make. Shel asked me to show him how to knit. Then, Annie asked me to show her how to crochet. I didn't get much more done on the mittens...

On my way home from running some errands today I found myself right behind Cole's bus (and nowhere near our house)

I've been getting crafty lately and am making a wine cork wreath - if you have any wine corks, send them my way! : )

Zombie baby carnival. I find this area of the Halloween store somewhat disturbing. Lots of little kids are scared to go back here, too

Annie & Shel took the hoverdisc out again today & it ended up in a tree. Good thing that one of Shelby's favorite things to do is to climb trees!

When Allison cleaned out her room, she brought a hoverdisc down to the basement, where Annie found it. The kids tried it out in the big parking lot down the street, today.

It was so beautiful outside, today, that we decided to go for a walk at Western DuPage Woods forest preserve.

We went to another Tango lesson, tonight. This one was actually harder than the first introductory one, because they backed us up to the beginning & spent more time working on technique.

It was computer repair day at the Olson household today. Eric was looking at Molly's computer when Donna came by to pick hers up (Eric had fixed it earlier in the day).

I happened to be browsing through my pictures today and found this one of Betty and Tabitha - seems like just yesterday that Tabitha was this small! Now, she will soon be ONE!

Eric and Cole bought a webcam and then tested it out with a call to Colorado. We got to talk to and see everyone there including Grandpa (Eric's dad). It was fun.
