Musuem of Science and Industry

Last weekend my dad and step mom took Addi and I to MSI. I was a little afraid that Addi wouldn't have fun and things would be too much for her but boy, was I wrong! She had such a blast! I haven't been there in years so I forgot a lot of the stuff they had. I love how much my parents adore Addi; and how much she adores them! It's great to see that she's such a grandpas girl like I'm such a daddys girl <3

ugh so angry! LOL

EIEIO Mommy!!!!

Of course with a bunch of toys to play with, a water table to explore and bubbles my kid choose to ready books. such a nerd :P JK! I'm glad that she enjoys reading like her daddy

Playing with the mirrors in the Circus room...

"I want blue one! I want blue ice cream! Try yours grammie? Please? Oh thank you!" Spoiled much?!

I can't wait to go back to Chicago and go to the Shedd or Childrens Museum. Or heck, even the park! Come on spring!

Valentine's Day

Little late but who cares right? Valentine's day was spent at work (blah!) but then Addi had a great party at school. I/we've been great friends with all the moms and other kids. In fact, the month of March is pretty much booked every weekend with playdates, parties and mom night outs! These ladies are fantastic. I am so greatful to have them in my life, and addi's too. Here are a few pics from the party :)

The girls...minus Annalise...

Aftermath of Snowpacalypse 2011

Well we got about 19" inches of snow last week. Here some pictures I took at home and with Addi playing outside. She LOVES the snow...just like her daddy. I wonder if this kid is going to be ANYTHING like me!? Well I guess she does like to shop so that's a good thing :P

All ready to go play outside!

there's still one more step under the snow....

There was so much snow under/around our cars it took 2 snow blowers to get them out...and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need new tires this year :/

She picked up the shovel and got to work!

I don't want to ever see this much snow again. If I didn't love my family so much I'd move somewhere where it didn't snow 4 months out of the year. Stupid stupid winter!

We are going the Museum of Science and Industry this weekend with my dad. I'm really looking foward to it! There will be lots of pictures to come :)
