Ready Teddy Halloween Party






Grace had her Halloween party at preschool today. This was the first time that I got to attend class with her and it was so much fun to see how she interacts with her teachers (pictured left, Mrs. Kramer, right, Mrs. DeAnna) and the other kids. We made a craft, played with a parachute, bozo buckets, and had a pumpkin shaped rice krispy treat. What a day! Tomorrow we are headed to Bourbonnais for trick-or-treat and sloppy joe's at my mom's house. Yum....

After preschool Saylor came by for lunch with Grace and I. For those of you who don't know, Saylor is the captain on the boat I work on.When I told Grace that she was coming she said something that I found quite cute. She looked really puzzled and concerned and said, " Mommy we live so far away, how will the boat get here?".

If anyone is not yet aware, I am almost 12 weeks pregnant! Yeah!! We are very excited for Grace to have a litte bro or sis. I have had one appointment with my midwife, Amy, so far and everything looks great. I got an ultrasound so we got to see the baby and have it measured to calculate my due date, May 17.

Grant turned 30 last Saturday. We had a breakfast of my mom's eggs benedict then in the afternoon I sent Grant to the spa for a massage followed by dinner at Shaw's Crab house with the Simmons. It was a great day and his only day off in two weeks. He has been busier than usual with work. His company, C3, is producing Barack Obama's election night party in Grant Park. His title for the show is Network Production Manager. Basically he will be in charge of handling all the media in their backstage area. I am just hoping that he can get me in, it is bound to be an incredible night in Chicago if Barack wins!
