More Chicago fun

While we were gone, we put Bella (dog) in a kennel and the kids were really missing her. Our friend's dog, Marley Sue, got SO much attention and she also tried to keep up with the commotion of all of the kids. She was exhausted....look at her red eyes!!


I guess Marley got a little break from my kids when we headed to this Sporting Goods store. Look what they did to this poor display--hike up those drawers a little more!


My friend's kitchen became a nail salon for just a little while...no wonder the boys stayed downstairs and played "Rockband" (video game).


Bless her heart, my friend planned a HUGE breakfast (eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, hash browns, muffins and bagels)and we had it ready for the kids at around 10 am. They scarfed down a ton of food...


After brunch, the kids walked down to the park and played for an hour or so. My boys came back from the park, helped to get our stuff packed up and then said..."What's for lunch?" Can you believe the nerve of those boys?? Luckily, the leftover breakfast was still sitting out, so they finished up the breakfast, and even ate the leftover pizza in her fridge from the night before. Oink, oink. I guess she got a little taste of our world and how boys are "hungry."

So we came, laughed, cooked, talked, painted nails, played sports, watched movies and ATE. Now I call that a great weekend!!! Thank you Miss Wendy & family!!
