how can you not smile...

when you look at this picture? He is too cute for his own good.

the hosts

This is the shower committee and guests of honor on Saturday, April 28th.

Shower #2

This is Ann-Marie's second shower, the church shower. I'm guessing there were 60 to 65 people in attendance. The theme was movie theater. It was so much fun. The first picture is Ann-Marie opening one of the many, many gifts while Daivd is sitting by smiling. The middle picture is the centerpiece on the main food table. We served hot dogs, nacho, popcorn, coke, chocolate covered raisins, dots, snowcaps, well you get the idea. the last picture is the alto section singing a song to Ann-Marie and David.

more creative stuff

these are my Martha Stewart flowers. They are not looking the best. I made them before Easter and forgot to take a picture. This picture was taking saturday, April 28. They are starting to droop but you get the idea.

So my napkin says... You look hungry. why not have a cookie?

Egg cozy

I was bitten by the creative bug this spring. One of the creations includes this egg cozy or egg hanger for an egg tree. I knitted them for every one at Easter dinner.

Tickets

I got my tickets. Took the day off Monday and waited until for the doorbell. I felt very trapped. The "window" of time was before 7:00 pm. yah... 7:00 pm. They could have arrived as early as 8:00 am. That's an 11 hours "window". Fortunately the bell rang about 1:00. I ran down and was ready to hug the delivery guy, until he started complaining about this time of the year and delivering all the tickets with signature required. thanks for ruining my excitement. I did rip into the package as soon as i got on the elevator... I have my tickets the season can begin.

Tickets

Ah! it's that time of the year... waiting for my season tickets. My first year my tickets arrived nice and neatly at my apartment. Since then it's gone downhill. a true adventure every year.
The worst was two years ago. On the third day of the delivery attempt i was finally able to leave work early in hope that i would be home... nope. they delivered the package earlier than indicated on the door tag from the day before. I was not happy. So i called FedEx and asked them how long would they hold the package at the distribution center. Five days. I looked at my schedule, it didn't look good. I went on-line to check how to bus up there - not an option. So i re-arranged somethings call my parents about a car and on the fourth day i drove up there. My turn was called and i presented my id and door tag only to find out that they were no longer there. The computer said they were shipped back to the sender that morning. I mentioned to the lady when i called to inquire I was told five days. She so nicely responded it's three days, you were told wrong. So I had to sit and wait for my ticket rep from Wrigley to call notifying me that my tickets were at Wrigley. I picked them up the day before opening day. Did not enjoy that. So i was hoping this year was going to be better. This year i was going to take a half day to sit at home and wait for my tickets... i'm still waiting for that to happen.
