No, you did not read that wrong… for those of you not from the Chicago area, Santa’s Village is a children’s amusement park that has been around for a very long time. I was never there as a kid, but Ray had been and so have many others that I know. It had closed down for a few years, but opened back up this past Memorial Day and I was curious to see what it was all about.

It is just after 10pm and I have finally finished editing photos that I took of the kids outside playing and had intended posting last week. I’m the only one awake in the house (not including any ants or other creepy crawlies that know better than to make themselves known to me and my shoe of insect death)… it’s an odd feeling. Sure I’m the only one awake at nap time, but almost never at night… okay so that’s not entirely true… there are many nights where Ray and I are downstairs watching a movie and I’m the only one awake watching it… but that’s not the case tonight… no tonight he’s actually already sleeping in bed. I probably should be too… I’m so very tired.
Thank goodness they’re cute! Read More »
It was hot last weekend… not as hot as it was at the beginning of this week, but it was still hot. We took the kiddie pool out for the first time this summer and though it is small, both kids fit into it and had fun splashing around and getting each other wet.
I just put the kids down for a nap and before I get on to straightening the house up a bit, I thought that I would hop on here really quickly. This week has been a week of getting things done… not necessarily the things that I or my husband have wanted (like starting to paint the kitchen cabinets), but getting things done none the less.
A little of this… a little of that. Read More »
Want to hear something crazy? When asked how old Abby is, I actually have to stop and think about it (and I may have told some people the wrong age a time or two). Little miss Abigail is 14 1/2 months old today and the time is just flying by.

Those are the words Noah said to me when I picked him up at my mom’s house on Monday. It was so cute! I guess he said that he “wost” me to my mom a few times too. I tried to explain to him that no, he didn’t lose me. We were just at the Blackhawks game.
It’s only Wednesday, but it’s been a long week already. Both kids woke up with fevers on Saturday morning… well Abby had it already at her 3 am feeding that night.

My mom and her fiancé are getting married in just a few short weeks, and last night she was surprised with a bachelorette party.
Now that Abby’s birthday is over and the thank you cards have all (hopefully) been delivered, I feel like time can start moving again here at home. No more worrying about what needs to be done and taken care of… everything is just back to life as usual… thank goodness!!
