Kids Day at Wrigley

Today I took Charlie to a Cubs game. It was Kids Day at Wrigley and luckily we knew someone who could get us tickets! Charlie lasted all 9 innings, while filling up on hot dogs, fries, lemonade, and ice cream and a new Cubs hat. He was a happy kid! After the game we were even got to go on the field for a picutre, although Charlie was bummed he couldn't run the bases. To make it up to him, we took the el home and he was thrilled. It was a great day with my baby!

Daddy-Son Golf Adventure

Matt came home from work early today to take Charlie out for a round of golf, his first since Arizona. This was his first nine hole round EVER and he completed all 9 holes! After dinner the boys celebrated with BBQ because that's what you do after you golf. Charlie was so happy to spend the evening with daddy and practicing his golf swing!

Santa's Village

While Matt was on his annual golfing trip, we went to Santa's Village with Nana, Pops, Aunt Dana, Keegan, Norah, Aunt Sarah and Josie. Santa's Village is a great size for the kids right now and there are rides for everyone. I think we successfully wore them out, Evy didn't even make it home before she fell asleep.

Last Day of Camp

The summer is flying by and I have proof. It was Charlie's last day of Park District camp today. On the last day, the kids all put on a show and then there was a family dance. It was a great ending to a great camp. 

(Skip to minute 2, it takes them a long time to set up!)

Everyone Needs a Macaroon

We had a tough morning and I wasn't sure we were going to make it out of the house or get Charlie to camp. We did and we survived, but I declared that it was time for Evy's first macaroon. We both instantly felt better!
