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.
