Well here we are again in decision mode. Seems like every few years or so we find ourselves trying to figure out what best to do with our lives, what's best for the kids, etc. etc.
I guess I never was the kind of person to stay put for too long or keep up with the status quo, so I guess I'm staying true to self!
Still haven' t heard anything back from France on the final offer, I guess we'll see what fate brings us!
As for the last week it's been crazy busy. Last weekend we went downtown with the Schnackenberg family (Lukas' best friend Chris) downtown to the Mag Mile Festival of Lights which ends with the parade lighting Michigan Ave. After the parade, we went to Gino's East for good old Chicago style deep dish pizza - yum! We stayed overnight right next to the Rock n' Roll McDonalds and in the morning we went over to the Lincoln Park Zoo. Thankfully, we were treated to nice warm weather on Sunday. It turned out to be a perfect weekend, but we were a bit wiped out by the end of the day.
On Monday, we had to go retrieve Justus who was being babysat by Grammy in Rockford. Tuesday was playdate heaven with Ben Castro and Chris Schnackenberg going back and forth between the houses.
Wednesday we went to see Planet 51, again with Chris and Peyton.
Thursday Thanksgiving at my Aunt Joette's house in Rockford with the rest of the family.
Friday, Black Friday 4:30am shopping frenzy with Pam Castro, then Christmas tree hunting at Oney's Tree Farm with Grammy, Grandpa and Max's family (we just ran into them there!), then the Crystal Lake Holiday Parade with Lukas in the Cub Scout Pack 347 float with the Grinch.
Saturday shopping at Nordstrom's for shoes for the boys, lunch at P.F. Changs.
Sunday, finishing up the Christmas decorating, yummy moules marinieres for lunch with red wine, swimming at the club, the bowling league for the boys at 6pm.
Do you think we kept busy enough during the Thanksgiving break?? I can only imagine what Christmas break will be like!
Now it's headlong into the month of December with tons on our plate. Christmas cards, shopping, wrapping, Lukas First Reconciliation, Chris' birthday, Cub Scout Breakfast with Santa, holiday parties, visiting relatives, etc. etc. never a dull moment :)
