NO NAP, Mama!

We had an awesome Memorial Weekend. The weather could not have been more perfect and it was so nice to spend a few days together as a family.

The girls have been taking one nap a day for a few weeks now. However, this one nap only usually lasts about 1 hour to 1 hour & 15 mins. Oh, how much I would give for these kids to take a solid two hour nap one of these days! And yesterday, Miss Olivia decided she didn't want to take ANY naps. She kept telling me, "NO Nigh-Nigh, Mama!". How fun for mama, as I cherish those nap times to get stuff done around the house/have a mommy break, etc. So I had to keep her quietly entertained so we were not to disturb and awaken the grumpy Miss Caroline from her much needed beauty rest.

Look at this mischievous face.

Aunt Nee Nee Visit - Day 2

Today we took the girls to the Lincoln Park Zoo. They really love making all of the animal sounds and pointing out the animals in all their books, so I envisioned them sitting in their wagon and being enthralled with all of the exhibits that we saw. However, that was not the case. We saw the monkeys and the lions.... and after that, all they wanted to do was run all over the place. I'm so glad we had three adults with us - one to watch the wagon, one to chase Caroline, and one to chase Olivia. It was a bit nuts, but all in all a good day.

Aunt Nee Nee's Visit - Day 1

Yesterday was Aunt Nee Nee's first full day in Chicago with us. We kept the girls busy all day, ran a couple errands in the morning, lunch and then walked to our favorite park. Then daddy came home from work and grilled us all chicken fajitas. And Mama Diane & Papa Bede stopped by for a short visit on their way out of town too. Fun stuff!
