Luke's First Time Ice Skating

We took the kids to the skating rink at Wrigley Field. It was Luke's first time skating, and it definitely was not easy. Jeff had to hold/carry him the whole time. After skating we had a fun dinner and then waited for the bus to head home. And waited. And waited.

It was late already and the kids started to lose it. After forever waiting we decided we had to walk home. Luke was "so tired" he could not walk and I had to carry him all the way from Wrigley. Luckily (sarcasm font) he got a burst of energy when we hit our street (after I carried him for a mile) and ran home from the corner with Brooke and Ryan.

We waited for the bus forever. It never came. The kids got crazy. We had to walk home.

The Kid Who "Doesn't Need A Nap"

Luke HATES school because he HATES rest time. And he is sure he does not need rest time. He does not need a nap. Yet, when they try to wake him up after nap, its essentially impossible. Here, the entire class was lit and all the kids were noisy. All the cots had been put away. Yet, here he sleeps.

Hawks Win Game 2

Second game similar to first - Hawks win 18-2. Brooke made an attempt at the basket and had a block ... so she's already learning the game.

Basketball!

After a series of failed practices due to a lack of access to the gym ... the Audubon Hawks played their first game without rehearsal and sheer intuition. And they won! 8 - 1.

Brooke had so much fun she decided to skip ice skating and stay for the second game of the tournament ;)
