Tanya

I can't take the pressure to figure out what to say here:)

So last night I was watching tv and this commercial came on for Fish Eye Wine, with what they were making sound like a great new idea. It is a container of their wine that they have boxed to fit in your refrigerator and you just pour it out....

They seriously were trying to class up "wine in a box"

1-This idea is not new




2-No matter how they package it, it still ends up like this:

This past weekend was so nice because there was no traveling for a change! I actually just got to do whatever we wanted without any kind of crazy time schedule which actually ended up amounting to a lot:

-A bunch of errands (which obviously would include Target - I love Target almost as much as Shelly does-maybe I should start a wishlist there...)
-Got a manicure as a surprise gift:)
-Got the best dessert ever at Biaggi's: white chocolate bread pudding - everyone needs to try this, even if you think you don't like bread pudding you'll like this
-Walked around the arboretum: some guy was out there with his snow poles...he really did not need those poles since the snow on the ground amounted to about 1/2 an inch.
-Went shopping at Oakbrook Mall: Due to lack of prior knowledge of events I walked around the mall in a oversized, almost a dress on me, long sleeved black tshirt, jeans that were too long and had to try to cuff up and random green tennis shoes...not quite up to "oakbrook standards"
-Researching summer plans

-Watched a few espisodes of Curb Your Enthusiam: this show is usually really funny...just don't watch the series finale...it's really bad and reminded me of when everyone was disappointed at the Seinfeld series finale because it was a funny show that should have had a better end to do it justice.

Now this weekend it's off to celebrate my sister's 21st bday and then I've got to to go OH for work...

Kids Time in Boston:

I just went to Boston this weekend and wanted to share some pics. We did a lot of family stuff just hanging out with the kids so that was fun. Us adults went out for dinner and coffee on Friday night and had a Nerts turnament one night just like old times. Big suprise that Julie won-she always does!
The first morning Aiden was already my best friend again. Apparently she preferred to lay on the bathroom floor instead of getting dried off after her "tubby time with aunt tanya".




The she was "really hungry this morning" so kept adding every last plastic food item she had onto her plate.







Here are the girls at their "princess party" It was Jonah and Andie's bday so they had a party that was all princess themed including "pin the crown on the princess" game.








The girls also thought it was pretty funny to dress Miles up in a ballet outfit on card night. Needless to say his dad was not very happy with it.












And finally here is Aiden in the car taking me back to the airport. She said some really cute things like insisting that going to take a nap "isn't true" and having a dream about "a monster that had a sign on it that said don't buy dragons" and best of all "i want to snuggle with aunt tanya"
