The Weekend Report

Boo Bash Buddies
Originally uploaded by tracyg00

We had a busy weekend. It started on Friday night with the Boo Bash at St. Cornelius. Jake wouldn't wear his costume. They had snacks, danced a bit and enjoyed the craft table. Here is a photo of Megan and her friend, Tony.



Jake was especially fond of the glue. I think he used this whole bottle on his Frankenstein foam craft.



On Saturday morning, we went to Oak Park so that Darin's parents could get a portrait taken with all of the grand kids. Getting 4 kids under the age of 5 to cooperate is a little like herding cats. Diana seemed to handle it with ease.




Afterwards, we went to lunch at Tasty Dog, where Megan and Lili got to sit at their own table like big kids.




By the time afternoon rolled around, Jake was tired and ready to just hang out on the couch with Dad. He likes for me to take pictures of him while he makes funny faces.



On Sunday, we went up to the Chicago Botanic Garden. The weather was a little chilly, but it was sunny. The kids had a good time running around. They made us pay the toll on the trail:






The main purpose of our visit was to check out the model railroad exhibit. Both of the kids seemed to enjoy it -- but, it was a bit crowded.



And, one more shot from the end of our visit:



After all of that, I'm not sure how they found much more energy, but somehow they seemed to rally enough for some good jumping right before bed. I thought these photos were kind of funny.








Next up - Halloween!! Woo hoo.
