Orchestra concert at the high school tonight. I really enjoy this concert, where the elementary, middle school and high school orchestras all play a finale together.

The Girl Scout 100th anniversary event we went to was meant to be a surprise/flash mob kind of thing, where everyone was just shopping at the mall until a few minutes before we all took off our coats & showed ourselves to be Girl Scouts. Annie wanted to be really undercover, so she disguised herself as a boy before we left.

Come walk with us!

Today was a busy day went to the children's museum and out to eat it was a lot of fun but I ended up hurting my back at the end of the night. My fault shouldn't have held Emily.

Maureen March 10, 2012

The kids followed Tabitha all around the park, showing her all of the fun things she could do there.

We visited Gianni's classroom today. The teacher already has his name up!

One of the raffle tables at the fun fair tonight. One of these years, I'm going to get it together enough to have an added service where we'll print out a sheet of name/phone number labels for people, for an extra dollar, so that they won't have to write their name/phone number on every ticket that they buy.

Today was very busy went to mommy and me and made a cute craft. Then played with friends then went to baskin Robbins. Had someone from oberweis sell me their products. Got to try lots of samples. The kids loved that then came home played outside and checked my email and found out my picture was 1 of 20 chosen for the banner project in West Chicago.

What they were doing when I came to pick them up after band/orchestra practice.

Marla March 8, 2012

We ordered this hat at the end of 2011 (waited over 2 months for it). It finally came today and I thought that it was funny that Cole happened to be wearing his Monster shirt today too.

Miranda March 8, 2012

Nothing like an after dinner hat wearing dance party!

Gabriele is getting more teeth - this is my view since I am holding him all the time now! I can't complain! Although, I feel so bad for him!

Marla March 7, 2012

Eric, Dylan and I are going to a couples baby party on Friday (it's for Tommy's (Secret Colours) sister). She is having twin girls. I think that these outfits are so cute. FYI-Cole took this picture for me and he wanted me to be in it (Payback for all of those times that I made him get in my photos of the day)

Annie helped me put raffle baskets together at Shel's school this evening. She found a silk flower in the box full of donated empty baskets & wore it in her hair.

Gianni will not stop picking this scab on his face - it's driving me nuts! Anyone else ever deal with this? Any pointers?

Marla March 6, 2012

We have been trying to find time to make some more Secret Colours buttons for them to pass out in Austin, TX next week.

Maureen March 6, 2012

We got a great surprise when we went out to our fort at Dyer Nature Sanctuary today. Someone has added a room onto it! How fun to think that some other family or person is building along with us!

Eric and I saw a comedien a few months ago that talked about these companies sending dimes in the mail...I knew what he was talking about but hadn't seen one in many, many years. Well, we have gotten about 4 of them in the last 3 months...guess who is 40 cents richer...

Jim was very sweet & got me a new camera on his break at work last night. I took the kids out to Blackwell, today, to try it out & mess with all of the fun settings. Now, I just have to figure out how to get the pics from 3/2 & 3/3 off of the SD card from the old camera, so that I won't miss any daily pics.

Jen March 5, 2012

James loves his new helicopter!!
