Monday, June 30th, 2008I was feeling much better on Sunday. The girls were pretty much back to normal, but LushMan then came down with it. When I talked to my mom, she was sick too. The girls were there on Thursday when I went to the eye doctor. She’s still pretty sick actually. It seems [...]
3 out of 5: Sick.
Saturday, June 28th, 2008I won’t go into details, but let me just tell you that last night was the absolutely worst night we have had as a family health-wise. For that I should feel grateful since we haven’t spent extended time in hospitals, etc. but last night was NO fun.
I got it first- and I thought it [...]
My second veggie box (and sorry I forgot a title before publishing)
Friday, June 27th, 2008Last week I received this summer’s first veggie box from our local CSA. Everything was scrumptious. Well, most everything. I wasn’t a fan of the garlic scapes- they were too bitter. I also have never liked green onions so I didn’t try those.
Yesterday I picked up box #2. And here are [...]

Veggie Box #1
Friday, June 20th, 2008Way back in February, when it was probably 10-20 degrees here in the Windy City, I mentioned that I miss my summer Thursdays. Well, I’m happy to announce they are officially back!
Every Friday you will probably see a similar post from me. I am going to be documenting the 3/4 bushel veggie box [...]

Thursday, June 19th, 2008We keep the kids’ plates, cups, and bowls at their level so they can set the table or get themselves a drink. (The plates and stuff are from Ikea by the way. They are made with the safe plastic and are adorable.)
The other day, TheYoungest figured out how to open the drawer. [...]
Wordless Wednesday - When A Four Year Old Gets The Camera
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008Yesterday…
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008Yesterday was a great day for a Monday. Well, great up until a certain point.
The girls started camp. I’m not sure who was more excited about it- them or me. They went in very easily without any crying or fussing and I was feeling pretty good about it. I was nervous [...]
