This is my current view. Right now, it's better than looking out at any body of water or mountain view. It's been a really great weekend. Here are a couple of things that we did this weekend that made our time together really fun.1. Find a place that you can take your kids and they can play while you wait for your food. We just went to the Chicago Fire Pitch Restaurant. They have Foosball, Ping Pong, Large Jenga, and Large Connect Four. Once we ordered dinner, the kids (and Bobby!) played while we waited. It made the dinner really enjoyable and easy going. Once dinner was over, the kids went back and played while Bobby and I finished our drinks and just sat. If you're in Chicago, I definite favorite of our family.
2. If you are looking for a show to watch with your kids that won't make you poke your eyes out, may I suggest Master Chef Junior. It's Gordon Ramsey's cooking show featuring 8-13 year old kids. It's a lovely watch for all ages. The episodes can be found on Hulu. Honestly, I watched it before had kids so the fact that Bo will watch this with us is a dream!
3. Last night, we had a Make Your Own Pizza Night. I bought a pre-made pizza pack from Aldi (I think I'm a convert!) and pulled out all of the toppings from the fridge. It was an activity that everyone loved- even though Elliott ate all of her toppings before her pizza made it to the oven. I don't know if it was because I was hungry or it was really that good, but I ate 1.5 mini pizzas. It was a great Saturday night fun activity!
4. Bobby is TIRED of playing Candyland, so he just bought Bo Go Away Monster. It's a game that teaches kids how to take turns, share, and enjoyment of playing a game. We play the Non-Competitive Way, so there is no winner. We've played every night this week and it's truly an enjoyable fun game.
What are some fun things you did this weekend? Happy Sunday, y'all!
