Quality time with the kiddies. Stevie is on board. Mason says no. Majority rules! Pictures and updates later! Summer is almost over!

It’s sunny and beautiful here in Chicago! 72° at 10 am. They say the rain is on its way. We better go!

Enjoy your Thursday wherever you are!

EVERY time we go to the zoo! Alligators attack my kids!

Or something like that. If you don’t “get” the above headline, then it doesn’t matter if I got it wrong. Please just forget it and look at the pictures!

More bugs! It’s a grasshopper!

I know! That was alot of grasshoppers! Last shot. WITH the kids. Looking at this picture now, I notice they all seem so suspicious...and tired of sitting next to big bugs made of shiny sticks. They are so over it. But we still have, like, three more! At this point they were probably walking half a mile or more already. It's a BIG place!

Here's an extra shot that kind of shows "vastness". No bugs. Just land. (And water)

Looney Tunes Throw Down

It’s cute, but I only took two pictures! That seems weird. Especially since I took a whole bunch of the Flintstones. However, I did not POST all of them because I took them out of order and didn’t see them!

So after you are done looking at these, then please go back to the Flintstones and see the rest of those! Sloppy or interactive?? U B the Judge!

It’s over, and can’t be helped, and that’s one consolation, as they always says in Turkey, ven they cuts the wrong man’s head off.

Street Money Update!

August 6, 2009 at 8:40 am (Street Money) (, , , , , , , , , )

After I ran five miles the other day, all over Park Forest, and my legs were crying, I forgot that I found a penny on the ground!

That’s pretty good huh? Finding the penny while running; not that it’s a penny. People are really holding onto their coins this season. Economy!

Here is the year-count!

Something so new and scary it has to have it’s very own post!

Mason won it at Indiana Beach. He would NOT leave it at his dad’s. We have it in our house. You get to see it close up.

Monkey In A Barrel. It’s red. It’s purple. It’s BIG.

And, it’s HERE!:

It scares the beejesus out of me when I walk into the room in the dark...but is it...kind of...cute??
