3 days of just Cody in the Widy City!!

Steve and I jumped into having 3 kids close together. Cody was exactly three and a half years old when we had Charlie. It depends on the day whether or not I think that our plan was genius or absolute baby craziness! Cody , Lindsey and Charlie can go from the best of friends to cage match fighters in about 3 seconds. Without a few amazing babysitters I can't imagine how I would have survived -

Last summer I started mommy dates with Cody & Lindsey where only took one of them out with me at a time. Usually we ran a few errands and then they could pick something like going out to lunch, a park, seeing a movie, etc. We always wrap it up with a 7/11 slurpee!!! It was so nice to get that one on one time with each of them that I thought Steve & I should do a little mini trip with each kid. Naturlly, Cody was first!

Chicago with Mom & Dad for 3 days! We took the train there, stayed way up high in a hotel and saw lots of sites together - to Cody, the highlight was Legoland for sure! What a great trip! Here a just a few of way too many picturs taken on our trip :)
