Chi-Town Visit & A Contest

Aaron will be going to Chicago this weekend for a stage combat workshop. Why they host a workshop in Chicago in the middle of January is beyond my knowledge, but we always brave the potential bad weather to make the trip. I like to tag along so I can visit friends who live in the area.

We tried taking Cordy with us one year, but that was disastrous. So last year she stayed home with grandma while I enjoyed some child-free (yet pregnant) time to myself in Chicago. It was lovely.

This year, I must take one of the kids. Grandma and her crew of backup family members are willing to deal with one for an entire weekend, but not both of them. (I can’t blame her for that.) Knowing Cordy’s issues with sleeping somewhere strange, she’s staying home while Mira comes with us. This will be her second trip to Chicago in under seven months.

Any Chicago area bloggers want to meet up? We’ll be close to Woodfield Mall, and I know I’ll be making at least one trip to the mecca I call Ikea.
