He has a rash, and is teething 3 molars...
he is not a happy baby even though the picture says differently.

So so funny.. J was throwing whole slices of bread to the ducks and H was laughing her head off.

I got this little bin of pre-cut triangles from a garage sale for .50$ Going to make some buntings out of it.

On the 15th I got to visit said baby
And fell in love with him!
Congrats to T and B!

An awful picture quality wise, but it speaks words to me-- my hubs is a great dad to both is son and his daughter. Evidence? He does her hair. (and it even looks good!)

The last day of our time in Chicago included another brought-from-home breakfast, pool swimming for h and hubs, and Lincoln Park Zoo (free admission, and found free parking!) It is such a great zoo/plant conservatory and I could not believe it is free. We headed out of Chicago around 1p and hit up Jimmy John's on our way home, I was so anxious to see J!

(kids eat free after 5p, we'll be back for dinner!)

go to dinner at rainforest cafe
j and i split a meal, h gets alfredo

(no such luck)

h picks
The Diary of a Wimpy Kid

4.6.10 (97/365)
The first day in Chicago included The Cheesecake Factory, American Girl Store, Chipotle, Navy Pier, and the ferris wheel on Navy Pier.
4.5.10 (96/365)
All packed and ready to leave for Chicago for H's spring break. We left J home with a grandma and had a great time.
4.4.10 (95/365)
After hunting for Easter basket items, we got ready for church. We then met with some aunties and an uncle for lunch-- it was our first Easter hosting lunch, and my first Easter without a set of parents.
4.2.10 (93/365)
We love any excuse for crafting and celebrating, so on the first day of H's spring break, we decided to color Easter Eggs. We waited till J was taking his morning nap, and had a great time turning our boring white eggs into colorful eggs.
4.1.10 (92/365)
See thegreen mug on the right? I got it at World Market for the hubs. I love green, and thought he would, too. I gave it to him under the guise of an early Easter present-- we normally don't exchange gifts for Easter, but I loved the mug and he has been wanting another travel mug. I got it home and asked him if he liked it. "Yeah, I do." I could tell he liked it but that he wasn't thrilled with the color so I offered to exchange it. He declined.
I got home the next day, and he told me that he had a present for me! I opened up the World Market plastic bag, and there was a black coffee travel mug. He looked and me and commented, "If you don't like the color, we can switch." :)

Today I hit up one of my favorite towns-- the town I went to college in, have gone on many dates in, and have explored with my kids. My mission: to help my pregnant friend with some stuff around her house only days before she is due to have her babes. When I got to her house, she had been in full nesting mode, so that left me with nothing to do! We hit up a few stores instead and it was such a beautiful warm day.
3.30.10 (90/365)
I have been looking for something to cover the top of a little stand we have in our bathroom but haven't been able to find anything. I finally found the perfect thing-- a dishtowel from World Market! I cut it down and sewed up the edges and voila, something new for the bathroom.

When we play Go-fish, H has a hard time keeping track of her cards, so tonight she made this lovely pillow barrier so I would not be tempted to peek at her pile of cards splayed out on the couch.
3.26.10 (86/365)
Tonight was family fun night at H's school. Pizza, popcorn, cupcakes, pop, games, tickets, tokens, and crowds! We had a great time. J's favorite part was a Cubs flag he won at a duck pond, and H's favorite part was probably the cupcakes

My alarm clock is constantly being taken from my nightstand. J loves to push the buttons on it. It looks like he is trying to play a video game when he does this. He also loves to pull the battery out and hide it.
3.23.10 (83/365)
Today was pajama day at school-- when H got home it was a bit chilly but she didn't want her coat-- she wanted her red poncho type sweater. it looks lovely with the aqua blue and rollerblades, don't you think?
3.22.10 (82/365)
a craft project for easter gone wrong. worse, baby j got into the eggs after we were done, getting glitter all over the house.
