Global ... What now???

Ok, so evidently Al Gore doesn't frequent the great state of Illinois. Something doesn't quite add up with the whole "Global Warming" thing, or else I am positive my car thermometer wouldn't have shown me this...

That's right, that is a 2. Which is pretty stinking cold if you ask me. This is what we here in central Illinois have woke up to the past few days. (and yes, I did have the heat in the car set at 85 - I do have some of my Mom in me after all)

I know, I know - could be worse, but it could be a whole lot better too. I'm dreaming of nice warm weather where I don't have to bundle my kids up like Randy on A Christmas Story - you know "I can't put my arms down". Oh well - a girl can dream. Maybe I can break my flipflops out sometime in June :)

Some Accomplishments

Yesterday marked a big day for both of my girls...well big in my eyes.

My little miss Rachel took 3 steps on her own! That's right 3!!! I had her walk between Jarrett & I. And I am so proud of her! So I am thinking this little stinker's scooting days are numbered.

and...

My little miss Olivia counted to 100 with me! And she is "STAR OF THE WEEK" at pre-school!!!And she couldn't be more excited about it.

She got to take pictures of her family & dogs to school with her today to be put on the bulletin board. I am going to try to sneak in Thursday when I drop her off to take a picture of the bulletin board (that's right - I am one of those moms!)
