Day at the Museum

Some days you have to teach your first grader how to play hooky.  Or maybe you don't?  But anyway, we did and a good time was had by all.  Good and exhausting.   We started at the Field for a few (4? 5?) hours.  Next we drove around for a bit so Aidan could nap and then stopped at LPZ but it was 4:20 and they close at 4:30 and so all we saw was a cardinal and one leopard.  Then we went to the Art Institute to remind ourselves how museums should have more enclosures around precious paintings and works of art.  Then we went to the Pick Me Up Cafe and oh my lord you cannot get food like that in the suburbs.  Or if you can I don't know where but I'd really like to.  We spent about 12 hours downtown (and despite not paying entrance fees anywhere and only buying 3 cheap dinosaur toys the day cost almost $200 AND the "cheap" street parking by the Field is now $9 thanks to that stupid parking lease crap) and now I am going to sleeeeeeep and sleeeeeep.

Couldn't get a picture of Aidan standing still...

LT in his element...

Almost didn't come because of a recent problem with tantrums but he did great...

Why Do I Still Have Awful Morning Sickness???
