Back to Chicago

After a fun trip to Florida, it was back to reality for Eleanor and Henry, as they had just one day to adjust before heading back to school. The adjustment proved a bit tough, and there were a few meltdowns all around. One particular meltdown by Henry raised the following question – where do you put a Lego prison island set when you don’t want a 5 year old to be able to play with it? He is tall enough to reach the counters, and we didn’t want him trying to climb up on the desk, so… in the microwave, of course.

Dad was a bit under the weather on Friday, and it turns out that a snuggie really is a great invention when you just can’t seem to keep warm. We finished out the week with a fun birthday party at Dave and Busters, which both kids really enjoyed.
