This week...

What an interesting week...Wednesday I went on a field trip to Discovery World...a really cool Great Lakes Aquarium (on the lakefront). I'd never been there before and will definitely return!!! I parked across from the Art Museum (which is next to Discovery World). As I walked to my car-- 75 degree day with the sun shining...I realized that winter really had been worth it and the beautiful weather we have spring is worth the Wisconsin Winter.
Wednesday night was 'scrapping' night with scouts. Only 3 boys showed up..but they met the requirement for a new bead.
A sure sign of spring...daffodils!!!!
Another sure sign of things to come--- the huge weed in the backyard.
Going to end now...Jason was in Georgia Wed-today visting with Joe and Jimmy (who was down there on vacation). Jason's plane should land in about 1 hour...unless the thunderstorm we're having now detours the plane!!!

Nice weather...FINALLY!!!!!

It feels like we have been waiting 3 years for spring to finally arrive. I'm honestly still afraid it might snow...seems like the weather is so unpredictable this time of year in Wisconsin!!!
We all took advantage of the sun and warmth. Ben worked on the firetruck that Grandpa Buck made the boys. Ben needed to do some adjusting on the rear lights. As you can see by his face below, he had a great time outside---being a boy and getting dirty.
Sam was outside too...but we talked him into taking a nap this afternoon!!!! Which will mean a less crabby night for all of us!!!!

Girls night

After a LONG time...Carey, Candee and I (Chris.....hmmm just realized all C's) were able to go out for dinner. We went downtown to The Wicked Hop...fun time!!
Carey and I try a drink...yummy!!! Candee saying "Mama can't really hear you honey'
How many teachers does it take to figure out how much we owe?
Carey and my engagement picture...no we didn't have too much to drink!!
