Grayson & Liam ~ May Photos

The boys had a great month.  They had fun playing at the park, spending time with their friends, family and au pair Maria, singing in the spring concert at school (Grayson was a bird and Liam was a lion), mommy was a classroom chaperone for game day for Liam's class, Liam had a playdate with Teddy, Brooke made a cute love picture of her and Liam and the boys got a hair cut.  

Memorial Day Cup - Liam's Soccer Tournament

We decided Liam was ready for club soccer so he tried out for Chicago City Soccer, but they only had one 2015 team with no openings so they placed him on the 2014 Blue III soccer team. (he was born in 2015).  They had a soccer tournament in Schaumburg over Memorial Day Weekend for U8.  They combined the 2014 teams for the Memorial Day tournament in Schaumburg so he was playing with the blue I and blue II team as well.  They played really well together and Liam had the best time.  It was weird for Grayson to watch on the sidelines and not play in the games, but he had fun cheering on Liam.  Liam's team ending up winning the whole tournament for their age group (2014).  Liam even scored his first goal and we were so proud of him.  We can't wait until the next soccer season. 

Botanic Gardens - 2nd Grade Field Trip

I was lucky enough to be a chaperone for Grayson's 2nd grade end of the year field trip to Botanic Gardens.  It ended up being a beautiful day and the kids had a blast.  We spent some time walking around and checking out the different exhibits.  Afterwards the kids had lunch and went into a classroom and learned all about flowers.  Grayson wanted to sit with me on the bus, which was so sweet.  We had a great day and I hope to many more field trips with Grayson and his classmates.  

Girls Weekend - Christy, Harper & Janet visit Chicago

We had our second annual girls weekend with Christy, her mom Janet and her daughter Harper.  They took the train up for the night and we hung out playing cards of humanity family addition and then went to dinner at Beatrix - Fulton Market.  Afterwards we went to Molly's cupcakes and had dessert and of course had to take pictures on the swings.  We ended the night with a good old 80s movie Sixteen candles with a glass of wine.  The next day we had brunch at The Smith and walked around downtown.  We checked out Water Tower and did a little shopping.  We always have the best time with them.  Christy and I love reminiscing of the past especially college days.  We decided next year we will do a destination trip to somewhere fun.  We can't wait until we see them again.
