"If you spend the majority of your days in the company of babies, toddlers, tweens or teens, then your happiness will be directly proportional to your ability to laugh often and enjoy the chaos. The child-rearing years, in particular, are meant to be hectic, playful, and fun!"

Gladiola Days!


St. Charles is the Gladiola Capital of the world, so at the end of the August the town celebrates! Anyway, we haven't been to the parade since Braeden was a babe. Our trek this year was brought on by my Grandparents, Victor and Mildred Feine being named the St.Charles Senior Citizen's King and Queen. How sweet is that!



While we were waiting for the festivities to start, Laken, Preston and Madeline kept going behind this gate and pretending they were jailed. The kids got a ton of candy. Braeden was very selective in his candy grabbing and would only go after the good stuff. Preston would go after everything, but would share the stuff he wasn't fond of with his sister.
The marching band brought back oh such fond memories. I think I could still do the flag routine to, "We Got the Beat."
