Cole was bored for a little while today...until he got out the Philosophy for Kids book that his brothers got him for his birthday.

Worked my first shift at Carson's today.

Happy breakfast

Secret Colours at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago.

We didn't have birthday candles, so we used these tapers that we found, when it came time to sing 'Happy Birthday' to Jim.

Scrap yard fun

Did you see that "Secret Colours" was featured on one of MTV's websites today?

Annie & I helped organize the Girl Scout singalong event for her Service Unit. It was lots of fun leading the songs & seeing the girls have a good time singing them all.

Dylan's new winter jacket arrived today. What I don't understand are these sticky notes. Now, if I were a thief and I were going to steal the package that is sitting outside of our door, I would also take the sticky note. Then the owner of the house would not even know that the package had been delivered.

Annie helped me out at the dineout night that we had at McDonald's, to raise money for Shelby's school PTO.

Miranda November 17, 2011

Since the rest of our week consisted of laundry and getting life back in order, I don't really have any pictures to share (unless you wanted to see the stack of mail we had or the laundry machine - I will spare you!) Instead, I thought I would share some other pictures from our vacation

A new bulletin board that I made earlier this week and put up today. It's supposed to say "Don't be afraid to read" but, I didn't have time to put the words up. If you haven't read a Scaredy Squirrel book yet...you should.

All of the Merra-Lee shops downtown Geneva are closing after 82 years in business. I went down today to check out the sales. I kinda like the bracelet on the left and thought that maybe I would send the photo to Eric, incase he is looking for a gift idea for me.

Shelby was helping me get some things from the PTO closet after school today, to get ready for tomorrow's dineout night. After we carried the stuff out to the car, he went exploring for a while in the wooded area by his school's parking lot.

Marla November 16, 2011

I drove Cole to school this morning. On days that they have tests in math they have a before school study session. I think that he's gone to every one.

Jen November 15, 2011

James and Emily played with their friends again at the park today James rode in this jeep with his girlfriends.

Maureen November 15, 2011

One of the local cheerleading teams had a dineout fundraiser at Dominick's Pizza tonight. The cook there went out of his way to make Shelby some delicious chicken that was safe for him to eat. Thanks!

My gym added a Spa about a month ago. Today they had a Facebook contest to win a free manicure or pedicure...I chose the pedicure.
