This weekend, Mary and I were quite busy. Saturday morning, we went to the circus with my sisters and their families. The kids really seemed to love it, although I'm sure it was sensory overload for them! While I remember the circus being lots of fun as a kid, it didn't quite have the same effect as an adult, however, seeing Annalee and Rhys (and even Carys) smile and stare in amazement was more than enough to make it enjoyable!
After the circus, Mary went to a baby shower for our friend Anna, while I ran some errands for my parents. We met back up at about 5:00pm to do some "quick" shoe shopping in Oak Brook before heading to Woodridge to celebrate Megan's birthday at Buffalo Wild Wings (Happy 28th Birthday!).
Sunday, after mass, we decided to dedicate the day to working around the condo. Mary worked diligently all day long on finishing up wedding things (yes there is still plenty to do) while intermittenly doing laundry, making coffee, folding laundry, unpacking, etc. I did a lot of overdue cleaning and a decent amount of unpacking and organizing.
Later in the evening, we both went to a few stores looking for dining room chairs, then ended up at Home Depot to return a few things and buy a few new things. Who would have thought I'd get excited about closet organization? On the way home, we stopped really quick to pick up some cranberries and when we got home I made the first batch of Cranberry Apple Crunch for the season! Mary and I have decided we're going to try and come up with a slightly healthier version of it so we don't feel quite as guilty for making it :)
