A sunday morning in the Haufe household....

Mommy walked into her office and was surprised to see a huge WWE set that was setup by Matt and Andy to play with. It was very creative how they used different items! It was a collaborative effort from both of theboys....Proud boys! Just playing

Then Matt puts on the entrance music from the computer and Andy does the announcing of the wrestlers! Very creative play! It's nice when they play together and aren't arguing!

St. Patrick's Day Parade - Lake Villa, IL 2009

It was a beautiful day for a parade...unfortunately it was in Lake Villa and not Downtown Chicago to see Jackson and clan in the big parade...so this one will have to do! WE donated canned items for the local food pantry...everyone gave something so it was a good day for the community!

Andy was scared of the cat show...until he realized it wasn't loud.

Beautiful Exotic Birds!

I didn't get a picture of the Liger....it was huge! Here are the Flamingos though.

Then we went to South Beach and saw all the crazy people!

Matt thinking of the long car ride home!

Playing in the ocean! It was very breezy that day....check out the waves coming in!

Matt was buried in the sand and Daddy and Andy decided to feed the seagulls some pretzels off of him.....they were like vultures when there was some food around! You can hear the family that was next to us laughing very hard at what they were doing!

These little spider monkeys were everywhere...they were not caged. It was so cool!

We had a great time on vacation...and can't wait to go back next year!
