It’s been perfect weather this weekend in Chicago and despite thunder and lightening over night, its sunny and gorgeous today!
I’m glad the weather is nice because my daughter Claire marches in the local parade for Girl Scouts. It brings back so many memories of memorial day. When we were little, my sister and I would be in the same parade for girl scouts or if you decorated your bike you could also be in the parade. We would get streamers and weave them in and out of our wheel spokes and put fringe on the handle bars, it was so much fun.
After the parade today is a cookout with all the girl scout families which is always a great time.
For any of you who have loved ones in the military right now, or have lost loved ones my thoughts are with you.
Enjoy your day hopefully with parades, and food and family!

OK, fast forward, after I posted this and by the time the parade started at 11:30 a.m., clouds and LOTS of thunder and lightening pretty much ruined the parade! The girls ended up not walking (thank goodness) and we were all soaked to the bone with all the rain!!
If you haven’t gotten a chance to check it out, my sister is hosting a summer challenge. Just make a goal and be part of a great team of 22 fantastic ladies! It’s not too late to sign up, you can e-mail her at bdl319@gmail.com
My goal is to be in a size 12 by the end of the summer and do my P90X workouts 3x a week!!
And on Saturday, my daughter Claire who is 8 took these pics in our back yard!
Have a fun day and enjoy the weather for me! We have more thunder, grey skies, and downpours! Funny how weather works that way!
Happy Memorial Day!
Great blog! I found you through Biz. I look forward to reading more from you!
Too bad about the rain!
Claire is a very talented photographer already – wow!
The challenge will be fun to see everyone’s progress and Biz is sweet to organize us like that.
I didn’t realize Biz was your sister! Or I forgot as my brain is that way sometimes 🙂 Nice pics by your daughter. My nephew I think is 9 and he’s always snapping photos. Maybe they will both be famous photographers someday?
Sorry about the rain, we had a bit of thunder yesterday afternoon too. That’s great about the summer challenge, I really hope that goes well. Mine is running, I have another 5k this weekend and a half marathon in October – yikes!
Sorry about the weather… really disappoints the little ones… And best of luck on the challenge… to be in with your sis and mother, lots of support and competition
Hi Jen!
Hope you had a great Memorial Day!
(In spite of the weather!!)
Tell Claire she has a great eye for colour!
