Luck of the Irish?

March 17, 2011 2 Comments

Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, our weather has FINALLY taken a turn for the better in Chicagoland. Hooray! You can just feel a lift to everyone’s spirits. I opened my windows and turned off the heat for the first time since the start of winter. It just felt so good!!

Yesterday after C’s nap, I decided to take her outside to enjoy the nice weather. Miss M stayed inside because 1). It was her “TV time” and you don’t mess with her time to watch Three’s Company! and 2). She had stayed home from school with a bad cough/not feeling very good. At this point in the day she was starting to feel much better but I didn’t want to push her.

So there we were, Miss C and I, and the great outdoors, not really. She first wanted to go play in our sand box in the back yard. She plays so nicely in there and doesn’t eat the sand or throw it. She played there for a good 10 minutes or so. After that she wanted to walk around the neighborhood. Since M was still inside, I told C we could only walk up and down our block. That little thing walked up and down the sidewalk at least 4 times!

Here’s some pictures from our walk:

She’s “flying!”

Worked up quite the thirst!

Hopefully this luck of the Irish won’t turn folly and it will start snowing soon….This is the time of the year I truly hate the Midwest. But I digress. Yesterday was lovely and here’s to more days like it!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Friday Laugh

February 18, 2011 2 Comments

A couple of days ago, the girls, as usual, had gone up to Miss M’s room after lunch. They miss each other after M has been at school all morning so I just let them be. At some point M usually calls for me to get Little C out of her room so that she (M) can have some “alone time.” In other words, M has grown tired of little sister touching her stuff.

Well, on this particular day the girls were playing a little too long with no one calling for me, so I went to check. When I came upon Miss M’s room, I first noticed the door was closed. Then I opened the door and this is what I saw:

You never know what you are going to find behind closed doors around here.

Won’t You Be Mine?

A Valentine’s Day Redux:

We started the morning off right with these “To My 3 Sweethearts” beauties sitting on the kitchen table.

Little C had a bit of a rough morning with a trip to the doctor for a check-up. With the exception of the screaming and the crying, she is doing great!

Miss M had an awesome morning with her Mom coming to her school and helping out with her class’s V-Day Party. She also got to eat a cookie and juice in school and hand out valentines. Score!

Besides the fact that the awesome J stayed home from work and took Little C to the doctor and gave us lovely flowers, he also cooked a wonderful favorite meal of Miss M’s and mine. Crab Legs! With homemade garlic twist rolls. Yum!

Once again, I am reminded of how blessed I am to have these amazing people in my life. I hope you were reminded of your blessings of love as well.

Snow Day(s) and Earaches

February 3, 2011 1 Comment

Here’s our house with about 20″ on the ground, not counting numerous snow drifts that made us truly snowed in! No school for Miss M and no work for J! Yay! The only problem was….

Miss M and her ear. She went to bed on Tuesday with it starting to bug her. We gave her some ibuprofen (the last of the bottle) and she went to sleep. She then woke up a couple times during the night complaining that it was really hurting her. At one point, she told me she needed one of those Sleep Number Beds since her bed was not comfortable for her ear! We gave her some tylenol which helped. She rested more during the day and was even able to go for a quick sled ride with her sister. Overall, a good day! And we get another Snow Day today!
