Visitor!

Burke's mom, Mary Beth, came in for a visit this past weekend. It was wonderful to see her....we had a great time!

We went to Superdawg Drive-In. Mary Beth had been wanting to go here for many, many years!


Then we just drove around Chicago for the afternoon. The leaves are changing and it's beautiful!

Mary Beth had requested the opera but unfortunately we were not able to get tickets. Boo boo boo. So instead we went to see Cat on a Hot Tin Roof on Friday night and then Wuthering Heights on Saturday night. Both were pretty dark, dramatic, slightly Debbie Downer family dramas....but very good performances....even if we do need prozac after watching. :o) They really were great dramas. (The Lifeline Theatre has a fun children's theatre program where they put on musicals of great children's books. Right now it is Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that Type. I CAN'T WAIT TO TAKE MARIN TO THEM! We will have so much fun!)


And...we got our pumpkins!!! Aldi had pumpkins for $1.99!! They are HuGe and bright orange! I loved them! We will eventually carve them. I'm thinking pumpkin faces in the top and bottom pumpkins and then carving B, O, O in the middle three. We'll see what happens.....


It was a great fall weekend in Chicago! Thanks for coming, Mary Beth!

I don't know what I'm more jealous about in this post. The pumpkins, the changing of the leaves, the plays, or the fact that you are wearing a scarf in one of the pictures! Love it all.
