Hike!

 

Baby Birds!

When you discover a nest of four baby birds under the pontoon boat...there will be no taking the boat out the entire weekend as the mom/dad/uncle birds swarm all around you every time you come near.

Art Show

Mail

When you open a sealed, unaddressed envelope you in your mailbox, you discover mail from your own children...

Graham (With the writing help of his sister...)

Dear Mom, 

I love you.  What day are we going to the play?

Olivia:

Dear Mom,

When am I going to get my hands on a new book? Can it be the new Owl Diaries book (The Wildwood Bakery). Please I want a new book because I have read lots of books and I want a whole book shelf. I love you.

Training...

Week one of potty training is in the books.  Quinn did much better than I anticipated, really getting the hang mostly of peeing in the potty. We even made it through one BBQ and the theater show this weekend without an accident.  But the entire week he only pooped when he had a diaper on during naps or nighttime. But all hell broke loose at the Pero's for dinner tonight.  Poop- complete outfit change. Pee- another outfit change.  And then had to scoot home in just his undies in a borrowed Rizzo shirt. 

Theatre-Goers

Headed to the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre this morning for the Madagascar show.  Kids loved it with all the animals, butt jokes, songs and dancing.  Plus 70 minutes with no intermission was the perfect way to do kids' theater.
