'Twas the morning after a sleepover and all through the basement, not a creature was stirring ... and they didn't move until about 10 a.m. When Andy and I went to bed we told the boys not to leave the house - they were planning a late-night run to Walgreens for snacks. However, we didn't tell them not to let anyone in the house. So, we went to bed with three boys in our basement and woke up with four there.
Temperatures were in the 50s today so we thought we'd take advantage of the nice weather and head downtown to the Christkindlmarket. Apparently everyone in Chicagoland had the same idea. It was packed. We didn't even wait in the huge line to get the kids their hot chocolate. It was crazy. It was a nice night, though, to walk to Pizzeria Due where we had a pretty long wait for a table.
The sleepover (or lack of sleep) must have caught up with B who napped while we were waiting for our table. E was busy texting P who was at his family's belated Thanksgiving dinner.
We sat in the upstairs balcony area and the pizza was ready right when we sat down. It's a pretty neat view of the street from there.
We walked back to the car through the Christkindlmarket and although it was open, it was still packed. Guess Andy is going to have to walk over there during work one day and buy the hot chocolate in the mug for L, who now thinks she needs a collection of the mugs since she got one last year with Aunt Cindy. If you can find a day off, Aunt Cindy, L would still love to have a day off of school to take you shopping in the big city.
