Practicing pitching

Gianni awoke from his nap and then fell back asleep on the couch. I think the cat enjoyed having someone to cuddle with!

When Tim let us use this metal detector, he warned us that it was a kid magnet at parks. We weren't there a minute before a crowd started to form. Didn't find anything more interesting than old bottle caps today, but we're looking forward to getting out there again!

Nothing says Summer like saying "Cheers" with Popsicles! : )

Shel won a gift certificate for Prosek's Greenhouse in a raffle basket earlier this spring. We went shopping with it after school today & got all kinds of fruits & vegetables for the yard.

We moved the bean teepee to the other side of the house, this year, since the kids 'hole to china' is right in the spot where we used to have the bean teepee.

Cubs bus trip

One of Allison's professors at North Central had a children's mystery novel published this week. She got the kids an autographed copy & Annie decided to bring it with to the park & read it up in a tree.

Gianni waited so long for the ice cream man tonight!

When they were finally big enough to leave the front yard on their own & head off down the sidewalk, they used to have secret meetings at this tree on the corner.

Playing Risk.

Maureen May 10, 2012

Her team's doing really well this year. They're definitely winning more than they're losing. And the games are more fun to watch as they are more evenly matched with the other teams that they're playing this season. Maybe it's just that all of the girls are getting older & more experienced, more skilled.

Gianni used his birthday money from Uncle Tim today and bought a scooter. He was nervous about it at first but has become a natural!

Shel went in to get his blood drawn, today. We should know the IgE levels by next week, letting us know if he's still allergic to milk.

Cole's principal's name is Mr. Bleau (pronounced blue) today the students were supposed to dress in blue to surprise him. Thanks to Clint's morphsuit Cole was really blue. And, then look what arrived in our mail today...our Secret Colours vinyl...it is so pretty (it comes in all different colors-we didn't know what color we were going to get)
