Hopping Down the Bunny Trail

AJ and I will be doing some crafting in the coming weeks. I saw some great ideas on some blogs I forgot to bookmark, so sadly I cannot post pictures of the original ideas- but one is a paint sample egg garland. Google it and I am sure one of the many instruction pages I saw will pop up. We went to Lowe's and I raided the sample thingy and spread them out on color order. I printed an egg template and cut out the eggs to include all three colors on the sample, but not the words on them.

I will next punch holes and string them on the garland. But that is next time...I will post finished products later.

We will also be making glitter eggs. I may be embarking on this adventure while AJ is taking a nap.

While our friends Hannah and Rachel are here, we want to dye eggs with icing paste. They come out the BEST colors!

I am excited for Easter decorations, springtime cheer and the countdown to SUMMER VACATION! 50 some odd days left and I can feel each one stretching out before me like a long unendurable journey fraught with danger and uncertainty. (I just read a very dramatic book, so I'm feeling literary. Beg Pardon...)

Passing Time at the Henry's

So fun.

It's Fun Until Someone Leaves It Out Overnight

AJ loves Play-Doh. I love AJ. Logic states that I, too, must love Play-Doh. I love it until I have to pick it out of the rug or off of the sole of my slipper...

The Year In Review 2010

A recap of a strange year- a year of change, growth, worry, joy, friends (old and new) and trips. Oh, and a whole lotta trains.

Sue's January Party with some of the best co workers on the PLANET! (and a spectacular vintage train collection)

In February I was in the pits about my health. Coach Katie charged me up!

March brought the first trip to the park and the first wagon ride of the season!

April brought a great Easter and day 1 of "Operation Fat Girl Slim"

In May, we spent lots of time exploring Volkening Farm.

In June, we got a visit forom Erin!

We also celebrated the start of the longest summer vacation EVER at the Choudhary SummerFest.

AJ learned to water the plants in July.

In August, AJ went to camp at Beth Tikvah Congregation. Although you cannot tell from this pic, he loved it!

Our travels in August took us to New York to visit Erin and Sara.

September brought AJ a back to school haircut and some fun in the sand.

We also spent another day at the Illinois Train Museum.

In October, AJ did not wear a costume while Hannah rocked it as Foofa on Halloween.

We had a lot of fun in November goofing around with Photobooth.

In December, Papa Rog put together his train in the basement. Hours later, AJ still wanted more.

On December 30, we celebrated Daddy's 38th Birthday! Yay Daddy!

I can't imagine where 2011 will take us and how much AJ will continue to grow and amaze us with his cuteness, humor and above average intelligence. I hope I can keep the weight off, continue to lead a healthy life and keep up with the little guy! I hope that Mike can quit smoking and find enjoyment at work. Big goals for a big year!

Funny or Disturbing...

If you work with me, you will find this either funny or very disturbing. Indeed. Where are the Grammar Police when you need them? If I see this button around town, I will find it VERY difficult to keep my comments to myself. After all, I am my father's daughter.

(names are erased to protect the "innocent" but on the SP blog, there are no innocents so that is a joke)
