YAWN. Between the time change and the election, I’m all out of whack. Oy. Mitch has the morning off, though, so the three of us are going out to a nice little breakfast. Mitch leaves for Vegas early Friday morning to celebrate my brother-in-law’s 30th birthday for the long weekend… so definitely soaking up as much family time as we can in the meantime!
But did I tell you?!
My mother- and sister-in-law, along with my niece, are coming into Chicago on Saturday, and we’re taking Parker and Emma to the American Girl Store to celebrate Parks’ eighth birthday. I can’t WAIT, and I kind of feel like I might be more excited than Parker is, haha. Was anyone else absolutely crazed about American Girl dolls?! Man. I loved them so, so much.
Remind me to tell you about the time my brother drew all over Samantha’s face with a green Sharpie and said, “Look! Now she’s always throwing up!”
That was special. ;)
Favorite ponchos:
Anyway, if you missed yesterday’s post, Mitch and I drove out to Barrington and Barrington Hills this past weekend to get out of the city and do some house-gawking. I’m all about the ponchos this year, as I feel like they’re awesome for warmer fall days yet equally wonderful for the indoors when it’s super chilly and you just can’t get warm. (Because let’s be serious: they’re simply glorified blankets!) This one, I know, will be a staple this fall and winter for nights out.
While I applaud and am a bit jealous of the girls who can run from bar to bar without jackets during Chicago winters, I’ll always be the girl in a cozy sweater, thick jeans, sturdy boots and the mother of all puffer jackets. Isn’t it nice, though, that the poncho totally has a dressed-up feel when paired with pumps and a long necklace?! (I’ve been swooning over that Julie Vos number for years now, and it’s just as magical as I thought it would be!)
Okay, guys. Over and out. I need all the coffee today. ;)
