Happy Grandparent's Day!

I have to say that with the kids back in school and me ebaying quite a bit...the days seem to run together. We went to Northwestern for the final visit on Thursday. Both kids did great and had fun while helping in research. We came home and had dinner with Rob.
Friday, I got the kids off to school. We had a run in with an owl on the way to the bus. It had just wiped out a squirrel from our neighbors tree. It was quite a National Geographic moment. Big owl, squirrel and a huge branch in its talons.I went to Highland Park to rummage. They had 3 sales and I was able to get about 2 dozen things to flip. Rob went to Michigan for the weekend so it was just the kids and I. We went to Culver's for dinner and came home and watched Stand Up 2 Cancer.
Saturday we hit some garage sales, thrift stores and then went to Lincolnwood for Touch a Truck. The kids got some swag and had fun trying the many trucks out (including the horns). We went to Mom and Dad's and had lunch before we went to American Science Center for the warehouse sale. Nothing great this year. The kids played outside when we got home. We had breakfast for dinner, read a couple chapters in our book and I got the kids to sleep.
Today we had a laid back day. We started the morning getting Nick's haircut for picture day on Tuesday. We hit the farmers market on the way home. The kids did some art projects. Nick decided Yvonne must have missed some hairs and he cut his hair by himself. The kids and I made some muffins for the week, zucchini blueberry and zucchini banana. Rob came home and we went to Mom and Dad's for family Sunday. We had so much to celebrate...Grandparent's Day, Grandma GG's B-day, Jo's B-day & Rob's B-day. Mom made a bit of everything - pork roast, veggie meatballs, broccoli, applesauce, pierogi, sweet potato and kale. We had cannoli, flan, key lime pie and chocolate cake for dessert. The kids got to play outside for a bit on this beautiful day.
