Such a fun weekend!
We started things off with a Friday night pizza outing with
friends. Good friends, yummy pizza, what
more can I say? All six kids at the
table did great, which was really impressive.
Saturday, summer decided to return. Even though it was in the mid 80’s, we
decided to head to a local farm. This is
my favorite farm and it happens to be five minutes from our house. While so many other farms seem to have gone
commercial, this one has remained true to its roots. The family who lives on the farm runs
everything and it’s free!!! (unless you decide to go on the hay ride or through
the corn maze and even those are cheap).
The boys loved learning about the many different species of chickens and
feeding the goats. We also enjoyed a hay
ride where we learned about corn and gourds (while that may not sound
interesting, I really enjoyed it). We’ll
definitely return a few more times this fall.
Sunday morning was our usual. After Starbucks, Jane arrived to watch the
boys so that A and I could attend a Cubs game.
Per usual, A found amazing seats and our Cubs played their biggest rival
– the Cardinals. It was such a fun game
to be at. Our Cubbies won (sweep!!) and
A and I so enjoyed not having to get up 24,058 times for bathroom breaks and
snacks. The only downside was that the
game was really really long. We
initially thought we’d be home around 5:30pm and didn’t arrive until 7pm. I felt bad that Jane had to watch the boys
for so long. We owe her big time. It was a little hectic once we got home – we
hadn’t eaten dinner yet, the boys needed to be put to bed, and I had several
other things to do for work and appointments.
Totally worth it, though, to see a great game and have quality time with
A.
