Scenes from the Mall of America. We didn't do any shopping at the mall but we did go in a mirror maze and the aquarium that they have there.

Eric had to go to Minnesota for work this week. Cole and I decided to go with him since he was driving there. Cole is checking out the whirlpool tub in our hotel room.

It's kind of nice to think, "Well, there's always the possibility that we're millionaires right now, but just don't know it yet". So, we tend to keep unscratched lottery tickets and unchecked lotto tickets around for days, weeks, before checking to see if they're winners.

Cole had his 6th grade check up at the doctor today. Everything showed up good and he only got one shot.

What do you get from a glut of TV?
A pain in the neck and an IQ of three
Why don't you try simply reading a book?
Or could you just not bear to look?

Lilli is wearing shoes for the first time in her life. She did not like them at all. She just stood there and did not know what to do. Later I took her hand and tried to walk with her. She was picking her feet up high in the air and clomping them down like a horse. So funny!

I took Madi to a nature center in Crystal Lake where she earned a Brownie badge on animals. Those are bees that she is looking at - a LOT of bees!

My cousin, Gary, came in from Iowa tonight to stay with us before he left for Maryland on Saturday. His wife, Erin, came and surprised him to help him celebrate his accomplishment of Chief Petty Officer that he had just received that day.

Cole found a Snuggie at Miranda's house. (Cole, Shelby and Annie had a sleepover there last night) Back at our house the kids slid down the hill on a big chunk of ice.
