Pre Back-to-School Adventure

As the clock to school starting ticks down, we took advantage of an afternoon in the city.  After watch the Thunderbirds fly, we headed to the 606 to scoot.  Slightly stressful, but overall the kids did great. We scooted from Ashland to Damen, treated ourselves to Miko's Italian Ice, did a mini-photo session, then scooted back to Ashland.  We teamed up with Aunt Cate and Colin for one final indulgence with burgers, fries and shakes at Small Cheval.

Air & Water Thunderbirds

We took advantage of Jonah's amazing roofdeck to watch the Thunderbirds fly by in the Air & Water Show.

Paul Konerko- Team Player Award

G has been going to a White Sox run baseball camp every morning this week at Lindberg.  He has loved it.  Each day they had competitions and earned stars on their Sox hats.  Today at the end they gave our four awards.  Graham got the Paul Konerko Team Player Award which went to the player who helps others, is unselfish, who inspires his camp mates, and encourages other players who when they make mistakes.  Go G!  Proud of you!

S'mores!

S'mores, cousins and sleepover.  Good way to end the summer as back to school approaches.

Fore!

Graham is lucky for these hand-me-downs from his Murray cousins!  Get thee to the course!

Isn't Fairs

I am making the kids do some math and writing each day.  This was Olivia's original piece this week about all the ways her life isn't fair. 🤣
