Last night was Mom's Night at Abigail's school! We had a really nice night making a necklace and a picture frame. Then there was an ice cream social, but Abigail and I decided to ditch out on the ice cream social and go have a special date of milkshakes! It was a great night and so much fun to see Abigail in her school environment with her friends. She LOVES one of her teachers so much and just watched her wherever she was the whole time...it was so cute!
Heading for mom's night. Notice my left hand HOLDING Caitlin down who was NOT happy that we were taking a picture without her and would not stop crying and crawling on me.
Funny side note: Abigail said when we were leaving "Mom, I like your seat belt" referring to my belt!
Making our picture frame
On Monday, we had a free day (not watching any kids) so we headed down to Lincoln Park Zoo to meet Lucy and Jules. The kids love being in the city (which I do too) so this summer I am going to make more efforts to get into the city on our free days. There is so much to do down there. Abigail really wants to ride on a bus (ha ha, she may change her mind when she smells it) and the train so we'll do both of those this summer too!
Too many buses and people to actually look at mom
A girl after my own heart....what girl doesn't love a Deere?
Inside Kid's Zoo
Getting braver every visit
I swear Caitlin is along for all these adventures, but she will NOT let me take a picture of her. I'm going t have to start taking sleeping pictures or something! Check out my cute chick!!!
This week we also went to Monkey Joe's to get some energy out! Again not great pics but we were there!
Caitlin really has NO fear and explores the place like she's 5!
Abigail also has no fear and actually made a "friend" who we didn't know, which is a big step for her!
In other news, Caitlin is really really teething this week. She's been waking up in the middle of the night for about an hour or so which isn't like her. She's been a lil fussy this week, but nothing too bad. She's also really been into dancing to any music this week, so I'm looking forward to her dance class that starts in a few weeks, I think she's going to LOVE it!
We have a busy summer coming up starting in June which includes swim lessons, gymnastics and vacation bible school for Abigail, and Mommy N Me dance for Caitlin. Unfortunately, there aren't many options of classes for Caitlin, but we will make efforts to do special things while Abigail is in her activities. I am trying to balance all the things the girls want to do this summer (and we don't do during the year because of school) with just having downtime this summer to play!
Have a great weekend and a happy mother's day!
