Well hello everyone. And in case you are wondering, I AM writing this blog on the 5th. We had a Lost emergency last night, in that we had to watch it. We only have 2 episodes left of season 2, and the premiere of season 3 taped and ready to go.

We had a great time in Chicago with Toni, Dagny and Margot. We hung out, we went to the Children's museum and the Botanical Gardens. All the kids got along really great. Alex and Dagny had a slumber party and stayed up until 11:00pm taking about the planets. Adam and Margot know the same version of the ABC's. And Toni is a fellow aspiring photographer and we took each other's pictures. I can't post what I took of Toni yet as I am still working on installing DPP (Toni- I'm trying, but Lost keeps getting in the way). So here's the pictures, not very good from a photography standpoint, but you get the point:

Chicago Pictures

7:00 Drop off. Ariel had apples and cherries for breakfast.

8:20 Nap

10:15 Ariel woke up, had a bottle

10:35 Walk to the post office. Toni expounded the virtues of click-and-ship but I really needed to walk somewhere and NOT get a Starbucks. It was a bit nippy outside.

11:00 Post office. I thought it was some weird bank holiday as there were no cars in the parking lot.

11:25 Get home. Adam and I ate lunch, Ariel took another nap.

12:35 Went to go get Alex from school.

1:00 Pick up Alex.

1:15 Quick trip to Jamba Juice - my Starbuck-vice replacement. But tell me it's a little heathier, and the kids get some too.

1:30 Onwards to Crissy's house. Ariel ate her lunch there, Green.

2:30 Crissy left to go to Target to buy VHS tapes for Lost recording and to pick up Marcus from school, I stayed behind with Gavin.

3:45 Left Crissy's. Maybe Ariel had a bottle in the car, I don't really remember.

4:00 Drop off at Becky's work.
