What I did week of Aug 27- 31

On MONDAY, I went with Suzia and Ela, Julia & Stevie to visit Kasia in Wauconda, Mile was not home he was at work. We had a fun time playing with Nicolas and Danny. They have grown so much since we last saw them. They are some cute handsome little guys now. Nicholas looks like Mile, brown hair where Danny is the blond in the family and looks more like his Babcia Kris. Kasia is due in October with number 3, but she thinks that it will more likely be end of September. NO, she does not know what they are having and does not want to know till the baby is born. (Hey I like that thinking, that is the way it should be, in my opinion).



We also stopped by the little house that Suzia used to live in with Koy when they lived in Wauconda. A cute little blue bungalow.















After the visit with Kasia we went to see Koy at work at CDW. Stayed for awhile there, Stevie went inside to visit and to get to meet some of Daddy's co-workers. Then to the grocery store to pick up some things for tonights dinner. Stefan will be joining us at Suzia's, and this will be a quick celebration for the end of summer and back to school. For all. Ela, Julia ,Stevie and Suzia. Suzia starts on Tuesday evening.



TUESDAY was pool (Billiards) night for Stef & Karen, so we got to see Maddie, Stevie & Lily again for the evening. We go for walks to get a lollipop at the local gas station and also to buy a lottery ticket or two. (I keep hoping) By the time we come back it is time for a snack an apple or banana or a cookie or two, then it is time for a bath. I get all 3 into the tub for a quick fresh-up and into pajamas and into bed we go. Lily falls asleep in no time in her playpen, and the other 2 I lay down next to them and scratch their backs and they are out to lala land also. I get up to finish cleaning up after dinner. Wait for Steve & Karen to get the kids and then lock the door go to sleep myself.



WEDNESDAY FIRST DAY back to school. Ela is going to the 5th grade, Julia will be in the second and Stevie is in Pre-school. He will be turning 5 but not until November 22. Way too late for the cut off date of September 1. In the evening I went out for dinner with Diane and then we went to see a play called "Married Alive" at the Lincolnshire Theater. It was funny and almost comparable to my own life. Too bad it is ending tonight, I would recommend it to you,.. to go see it. It takes a "couple" from Niagra to Viagra. I got home by 11pm.



THURSDAY is my day to watch Maddie, Stevie & Lily for the day. I get to their house by 7am, make breakfast for them, get them dressed and then Lily naps. After her nap I get them ready to go for a walk or to the park or etc. Today we are planning on going to the park with Stevie, he is out of school by 11:30 am. Ooops, his Daddy Koy is home , so that changes plans, we are going alone with just Babcia. I know that Stevie has a lot to tell his mom & dad about his first day in school.

On my way home Maddie saw the waterfall on River Rd. and she wanted to stop to see it. But I told her there is no place to park. But I do know of a waterfall that has a parking spot and we could see the waterfall up close. The one on Touhy and Milwaukee. So off to the waterfall we went. Got to see it up close, and well of course we are close to Ciocia Diane's work, we stopped in to say Hello.

For Dinner I called Anna to come join us, I was making potato pancakes (yes I know it is a Thursday I usually make them on Friday). Stef was picking up the kids at my house. We had dinner together, spent some time talking and playing with the kids and off to the tub with all 3. After the bath got them in pajamas and into their van they go towards home.


FRIDAY I went to work, then went out to lunch with Basia my neighbor. Why because from now on she will be gone for most of the day at working, babysitting for a little boy in Skokie. He is about a week older than my Lily. He was born end of November, where as Lily was born Deccember 4th. She will be ONE this December.
Stefan went golfing today, what a beautiful day. I came home from lunch and then cut the grass, and cleaned up in the house.

Also on Friday Janette & Payton are coming in to town for a visit. I hope that we will get to play and spend some quality family bonding time with them.

SATURDAY Stefan is golfing from early am till late afternoon. Daniella will be doing?????

SUNDAY we are going to Jerry & Anne's place in Lake Summerset for another BBQ to celebrate that Stefan is a healthy man now and it is 2 years since his Leukemia was found.

On MONDAY, Labor Day, Diane & Bruno will be hosting a BBQ at their new house for the family.
