While mom is "working"

Although Jeremiah inquired if we could go to Disney World when I picked him up on Thursday and told him that he was on spring break, we instead made a short trip to Chicago. On our way, we stopped to watch cousin Isabella do a show choir performance in Watseka. Then, we grabbed a quick dinner and allowed for the mandatory 20 minutes of what daddy calls "hotel excitement time" after checking in.

We got a slow, relaxed start on Sunday. The boys and daddy spent nearly an hour in the hotel pool. Mommy enjoyed watching them all and taking pictures. After we all made a dent in the hotel buffet (the boys ate their fair share of breakfast items!), we headed in to the city. Daddy and the boys enjoyed a few hours at the Chicago Field Museum, while mommy took a cab across town to host guests at the Big Ten Tournament.

On our way home, we stopped to get some soccer cleats for Jeremiah and met cousins Isabella and Sophia for dinner. (Their parents and Emma were out of town.) We arrived home about 9:30 and tried to settle in. We were a little worse for wear on Monday but are trying to get back in the swing while Jeremiah is still on spring break.
