The 8 people who read my blog are waiting for a new post. Today I was going to write a few different posts from the last few days, but now I decided to just do one mega post, which I'm sure will disappoint the 8 people who read the blog.
Here are the highlights!
Saturday-a surprise birthday party for moi thrown by my wonderful, caring, loving, very sneaky husband, who had help from my fantastic and also sneaky friends! It was great! Pizza, cake, ice cream, balloons, streamers, presents, and most important 7 adults and 4 toddlers whom I love very much!
Sunday-Tuesday-a trip to Woodhaven for me and Charlotte to see my mom, gramma, and grampa. This was Charlotte's first time eating at Dairy Joy, a drive-in in Hinckley, IL and a tradition to stop at on the way to and from Woodhaven. Now, Charlotte's first time to Woodhaven, we did stop at Dairy Joy, but considering she was 5 weeks old, she didn't eat anything. On our way to Woodhaven she ate almost a whole cheeseburger by herself! Don't tell her though that on the way home, I did stop for an ice cream cone, while she slept in the back seat! Once at Woodhaven we biked, played at the playground with bopa and gramma, ate lots of ice cream, and drove on bopa's lap. (Now, before anyone calls DCFS, the speed limit at Woodhaven is 20 miles an hour, plus everyone leaves Woodhaven on Sunday, leaving it a ghost town during the week! *Additionally, my grampa can get away with anything when it comes to Charlotte because they are just so cute together and he would not put her in harm's way. This is also the reason Charlotte ate a lot of ice cream because bopa would give it to her and I just didn't have the heart to take away that joy from him and her!)
* These are only things my grampa can get away with, just in case anyone else was tempted to try.
Yesterday-Foster Family Fun day. Yes, we are still getting Foster Family Fun days because I am still not back at work. I went to get fingerprinted in the morning though, which would be a start, but I couldn't get fingerprinted because of lack of communication. I really think I should start a "When Will Nicole Go Back to Work" Pool. It would cost $5 to submit a guess and then the winner would split the money with the Foster Family (cause after all, I am the one out of work!) We got treated to lunch by Dave and Maria, former coworkers of Greg's who are a great Christian couple and are so giving! Then in the afternoon we went to the Nature Museum for a fall campfire for toddlers. It was very similar to toddlers, tunes, and turtles, but there was a campfire and marshmallows (which Charlotte did not like!)

I'm so jealous - I want "boppa" and our baby to have the same relationship he has with Charlotte. However, Alan has already stated that we are not moving to Chicago.
