SOON ENOUGH...

Nothing is worse than cliches when you're down...so pretty much anything anyone says about selling our house sucks right now.  But I guess "someday" we will be here...blablabla

 

SUNNY DAY

Is there anything more innocent than a kid skipping in the summer?

Mamma Juliette day included a much needed pedicure :-)  Juliette doesn't want the water yet, but does like getting a design!  She also had fun picking out the colors!

loves the massage chair!

SPLATTER SISTERS

Tuesday night was Preschool Family night at Juliette's school.  The Splatter Sisters performed and it was pretty cute.  They told the kids to go get their dads and Juliette was SO EXCITED to get Joey...he almost didn't go, but he is lucky he did!  I am PUMPED to get both kids there and have ONE pick up and drop off!!

daddy dancing!

This picture was actually taken by the professional guy there and turned out pretty cute...what you don't see is two second later when she was rocking/throwing him from side to side and had to take a little break :-)

MORE CHI TOWN FUN

The weather wasn't great, but we still had fun hanging with our friends...

...literally hanging!

and of course Dylan wanted to be in the tree too!

This would be Meghan and I as a lesbian couple in our minivan!

simple trip to the store!

And then we had to say good bye...this was the best pic we could get!

CHICAGO PARTY BED

We had a pretty decent drive, got to Chicago, and hopped right into party bed!

#TBT CHICAGO EDITION

In honor of our trip to Chicago this weekend....here are a few pics from the first time I took Juliette there, when she was about 3 months old (Harrison was 9mo)...

I always thought this one was funny...

pumpkin patch pic with the mamma and uppas :-)

FIELD TRIP DAY

Juliette had a field trip on Wednesday, and since she doesn't go to school that day, we were able to meet them there (which was fun because then I got to go along too!).  It was at the Tamarack Nature Center in WBL.  She had a lot of fun with her friend Sarah, and was pretty darn cute the whole time- even though it was COLD out!  And we ended with her choice for lunch- Jimmy Johns!

good times with her buddy Sarah

building a fort

sink or float predictions

she ate the WHOLE thing :-)

WINDING DOWN FOR THE NIGHT

Dylan wanted to wear his pirate towel in bed and play games on the ipad...whatever calms you down little dude...

WILD PLAYOFFS!

We got tickets from work to go to the first home playoff game...Wild WON!  It was so intense and so fun...love playoff hockey!  And love my family...

RAINY DAY AND A NEW OUTFIT

Rainy day means staying inside...and finding something to do. Today it was putting stickers on mom.  The back of my pants were covered too, but you don't need to see that!  This went on for a good half hour...

 With the rain, I had to get my walking in a the mall...which turned into this purchase for Juliette.  

I LOVE IT!!!!

LUNCH AND PLAYING WITH FRIENDS

The kids were SO excited to go play with their friends across the street...they were literally waiting at the end of the garage!

Then we had a picnic lunch inside :-)  Who says we would never use our breakfast in bed trays??

TWINS GAME

Sorry that my mom was sick, but happy my parents had tickets to the game, it was a nice night out, and I got to go! Fun night with my dad!

Getting a picture with my dad is about the same as trying to get one with children...

#TBT

I literally opened up the My Pictures folder on my computer, closed my eyes, and randomly selected a folder...and I got Juliette's 2nd birthday, so I picked this gem. I remember trying to get a picture of her and she wouldn't do it- until I gave her this sucker!  That was a fun party...hot as hell, but super cute! 

DADDY'S WORK, CHILDREN'S MUSEUM, SWIMMING

Random little Wednesday...we gave Joey a ride to work today because he did not have his rental caret.  Juliette wanted to go in and see the machines, and of course, get some stickers!  The we headed over to the Children's Museum for a bit...she spent about half an hour sitting in that contraption building and exploring-I love it!  Then we had swimming at night and Dilly Bar and I snapped a selfie while waiting for his class to start :-)

 

PAIN IN THE REAR

So Last night was eventful...Joey got rear ended while stopped on the freeway :-(  Luckily he was fine, and his car will live, but the other car is jacked and now we have to deal with getting new carseats and driving a rental until his car is all better!

Joey's car...not that terrible looking

 

other guys car...worse

BIKES...AND SUN!

We like it outside.  Enough said!

SWIMMING FUN MEET

The kids do swimming lessons at Foss Swim School and we love it!  They do a thing called a "Fun Meet" once every session- it's like a mini-meet for the kids.  Juliette was in two races, freestyle and backstroke.  It was pretty adorable and she was excited to show off her ribbons :-)

BLOOM! ST. ODILIA'S GALA

Saturday night was the annual fundraiser for Juliette's school.  My friend from college and I volunteered and had fun...they raised a LOT of money.  It would be fun to be able to donate like that!

drinking our college drinks...captain diet and vodka cran!

end of the night!

PARTY PRESENT PREP...

 

Juliette has a birthday party on Saturday for her classmate, Alec.  It's a Star Wars theme, so Juliette picked out the fabric and I sewed.  I even found the Star Wars fonts online for the name!  LOVE giving this as a gift for all her friends!

#TBT

My first favorite picture of the kids...from Father's day 2012...

FORTS AND A WALK

This week Juliette was a bit tired, so she wanted to hang around the house for Mamma Juliette Day.  She was VERY excited that she built her own fort ALL BY HERSELF!  Then she set up a tea party for her "friends" to enjoy in the fort :-)

Mamma needed to get some steps in and make a trip up to Joann's for some fabric, so Juliette wore her jams, Belgium hat, and pom-pom boots...solid.

CRAFT NIGHT

 Juliette's school did a Preschool Craft Night and we had a lot of fun.  She spent A LOT of time coloring her bag for all her goodies!

Her favorite part was getting to hand squeeze a lemon for her lemonade.  Her friend Gavin (from preschool last year) was there with his mom providing the lemonade for the event...so Juliette got the "exclusive" chance to use the machine :-)
