Nature Museum
t was a beautiful day in Chicago and Nora & I took a trip down to the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum to meet up with some other families from the IEKC.
They have a butterfly room-where the butterflies are just free.....not contained AT ALL!! If you know me, then you know how DEATHLY AFRAID I am of ANY bug.....ANY BUG!!! Well, I went into that butterfly room and did really well...I managed not to smoosh any of them and actually enjoyed myself. I have decided that butterflies are not really bugs. Of course I didn't take many pictures because Nora wasn't digging the stroller so I ended up carrying her and pushing the stroller which meant I didn't have a free hand :(
But, h
ere are a couple.....
ere are a couple.....Here is Nora hanging out in the under age 7 area
And here is Nora with an old pal from Ethiopia...these 2 always seem to be fighting over something. First the turtle and Rick Bayless (the stuffed mole) and now a camera case!

Tag!!
Rules of play:
Post 10 random things about yourself
Choose 5 people to tag and a reason you chose each person (can be totally nonsensical)
Leave them each a comment directing them to your blog so they know they are it .
You can't tag the person who tagged you (you'll have to make new friends)
As a courtesy to the person who tagged you, please let them know when you have posted so they can have the sheer delight and extra work load of reading your answers
Play!!
Random facts and habits...10 of them (not 4 or 7 or 8...10...that's the rule):
1. I used to have a bunch of piercings. Not just my ears but my nose, eyebrow, tongue and belly button. I always wanted to pierce my lip but was too chicken. Now I don't have any except my ears and I never wear earrings.
2. I was a vegetarian for almost 10 years. When I first started dating Ryan he made me a dinner of grilled vegetables and a rare steak for himself. Mmmmm, that steak looked sooo good. So good in fact, I had to have a bite. Yeah, I'm not a vegetarian anymore.
3. I have 3 dads. My dad, my ex-stepdad who I speak to everyday and my stepdad. All 3 were at my wedding :)
4. My eyes don't focus together. For instance, if I am looking through a microscope I have to cover 1 eye or I don't see anything at all.
5. Speaking of eyes. I have a serious problem finding anything that is within plain sight. Just today I thought we were totally out of butter but when Ryan went to check there was a big tub sitting front and center in the fridge. This happens ALL the time and it makes my husband crazy!
6. I can eat alot. I mean, I can really eat alot. For those of you who don't know me personally, I am kind of a small girl...although I think it's catching up to me.
People at work make fun of me for my ability to down a giant meatball sandwich in 5 minutes flat. Oh, and there is always room for dessert :)
7. I love anything to do with roller skating and wish I could "roller dance" like in the movie Roll Bounce. I also wish I was a roller-derby girl and even almost tried out for a team except I had to have surgery and couldn't make the try-outs :(
I even had my name picked out if I made the team....Betty Rage ;)
8. I love a nice tall glass of ice-cold milk and I will drink it with anything. Milk & pizza? Yum, there is nothing better!

9. I have become one of those crazy mall walkers. Y'know, the ones that walk the mall before it opens. Yeah, that's me.
10. I have an almost irrational fear of fire & tornadoes. My biggest fear is that one or the other (or both!) will happen when I'm not home and something horrible will happen to my dogs.
And the nominees are...5 of them (not 3 or 8 0r 10...5...that's the rule):
Stacie- because I think we would be friends in real life. Plus, Micah is just so darn cute!
Heather-because I am interested in your responses and Mallory is an awesome name!
Christina- because you couldn't possibly be busy enough with a new baby and school!
Jamie- You're hilarious. Enough said.
Tasha- Your blog makes me laugh everyday :)
