I can't believe it took me nearly a week to post about our Chicago trip. It was pretty jam-packed.

We've had some other things going on since we've been home.

Sassy and Little A have resumed Mom's Day Out for the school year. They are both attending two days a week to give me a chance to get some more work in. Both girls are enjoying class and making new friends.

Sassy got a new pink princess dress from a friend's garage sale for $5. She pretty much hasn't taken it off since. She is a dress-up maniac!

Sassy has started to call Tyler and I rock-a-noodles. As in, Mom- you are such a silly rock-a-noodle.

Thanks...

I think.

Sassy had a friend sleep over for the first time Friday night. And, it wasn't your run-of-the-mill sleepover. No. It was a camp out!

Tom, LMB, and Lulu came over for roasting hot dogs and S'mores, and then LMB stayed the night with Sassy and Ty in the tent. They had a blast.

The girls were very well behaved and Sassy can't wait to do it again. Lynzee, you're on deck...

Saturday, we participated in the Light the Night walk for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society:



Several members of our mommy group decided to fund raise and walk in honor of one of our members, L, who received treatment for Leukemia this summer. I am SO proud to say that out team raised almost $1400 for LLS research & family support. Yeah!

The LLS hosted a fabulous event... free pizza, ice cream, clowns, balloon animals, moonwalks, the list goes on...

We all wore blue, L's favorite color. Little A had a blast speed-crawling across the lawn of Exploration Place:



Here's a group shot of all the kiddos we could round up from out of the moonwalk at the moment:



Our team's honoree, owning with his rockin' new status for all to see:



Sassy thought her lit up balloon was pretty cool:



Here's the kids, taking a breather during the 2-mile walk:



I am so glad we participated!
