1 down 2 to Go

Our Pumpkin Magic

Our front door
The magic worldwind know as our weekend has started. We got thorough haloween and tomorrow we have soccef games and Lindsey's party. So much to do yet but most if it happens tomorrow. At least uniforms are out and the basic's for the party are packed. Tonight was fun, I don't remember the last time I did haloween, think it has been 2 years, last year I was in the Persian Gulf sitting off the coast. The real fun will be tomorrow as we play two games and then run home and pack up everything else. Night to all, early day..

Witchy Woman

Well another Haloween is coming and on top of that 15 years of marriage to Dawn and then right after that Lindsey turns 10. Time sure does fly now for us and it seems like just yesterday I got here to Chicago but it's been almost 5 months already. Lindsey goes to get her first ID card soon and I get to expect visits from Boys looking for her and giggly girl friends sleeping over. Happy days for us all here in Chicago....Pictures from the weekend will be up Sunday night/Monday.

UnbeliveaBULL

When I took orders to Chicago I promised myself I was going to go and see all the Sports teams here in town. Little did I know I was going to go for Free. So far I won tickets to the White Sox to include Sunday Brunch in the Stadium Club and last night we went to the Bulls game only to find ourselves in a Luxury Box. We went with our friends downtown to American Girl store which is way more toy store than one girl should need. It is way over the top but I get it, it's like me going to FRYs electronic store, except it's cheaper to buy at FRYs than American Girl Store.

After a tour through the store that Emily and Lindsey were nice enough to tell me what they wanted, we went to dinner at a food court that was hard to explain but you get whatever you want in the court and pay after. I wasn't feeling too well after dinner, maybe my BP was up from my daughters or just anxious to get to the game for the intros, but when we got to the United Center I gave my name at will call and told them there was 9 in our party, well he said he didn't 9 together but could do this for me, and gave us a Penthouse Box. Wow. We had a great time, and I plan to take Lindsey back again, as she seemed to enjoy it the most. I have posted a ton of Pics in my album for you to see.

Tasty in Chicago

Well living in Chicago means one thing. Brats. Lindsey and I went to a really good butcher south of here yesterday and got some great sausages for dinner at a friends. WOW I never knew there are so many kinds of sausages out there, but he told me they sell about 20 kinds. The sausages were great and we can't wait to get some again. It's off to 6 flags today with our friends and may be the last trip of the season for us... In the meanwhile we are still trying to replace our holiday decorations. It stings every single time I put a strand of lights up, we had a ton of really great stuff.

Hit me Nick Papageorgio

Well last night was fun. I was playing Casino Dealer at my girl's school, and had so much fun. Never mind it took me til 0100 to make it home, we had fun. I started out dealing Craps (or a very distant cousin) and then Blackjack. I decided to use the name Nick Papageorgio. I had a great time but I am very tired today. I can't wait for the next one.
