Live, Love, and Laugh


We just had a really wonderful time in Chicago. I cant remember the last time I was so happy. I mean, Chicago isn't anything really that special like Disney World, but I had such a wonderful time with my family, I felt like I was somewhere really really big. :) We mainly spent a lot of time in Schaumburg, Illinois and to my surprise Canon Headquarters was right across the street where I spent most of my time. It was a shopping circle where Lego Land and other attractions were located. This one day Lexi Bug met an adorable little Indian boy. They really  hit it off and spent a good time getting to know each other on the art sculpture. She mimicked everything he did as they played around an ugly Caterpillar on the sculpture. It really was an adorable sight and his parents were just as cute-struck at them. At the end I had to take her away and he looked really upset and of course Lexi was fighting with me not to leave. I told her to tell him good bye, and that we will see him soon. " see ya soon" she said as she waved good bye from the stroller. I swear, even looking at the photo of them two really warms my heart.
Another attraction we spent some time at was Lego Land. I felt a little robbed having to paid 20.00 dollars for an entrance fee. The leggos were great, but I have seen better. Luckily, Lexi really loves to play with Leggos although, I could tell she was very tired. The best is when we rode the Lego helicopter ride. I would love to return to Chicago this fourth of July. Hopefully, we can make this happen because I had so much fun and downtown is something really fun and great.

The Empire strikes back

A few posts ago, I discussed how my husband was a crane toy junkie. Well, At our trip to Chicago at GameWorks he managed to strike again. I thought the themed toy machines were too cute. They had South Park, Kung Fu Panda, HellyKitty and a lot other cool characters. My husband did his damnest to get  LexiBug the HelloKitty toy. He got it after the second try. He also scored her a Kung Fu Panda stuffed animal as well. Which by the way, I was really disappointed in the movie Kung Fu Panda 2. Next door to this GameWorks is a huge movie theater .I took the kids to  watch a movie while my husband stayed glued on the Street Fighter 4 arcade. The theater was almost empty so It was good for me because history has shown us that Lexi can not sit even 20 minutes into a movie. Usually I sit in the handicap area where no one is and Lexi just runs back and forth in the same aisle. Anyways, the movie was a big disappointment for me. I would have rather went to see HangOver 2 and gazed into Bradley Cooper's piercing blue eyes! :)

Let the Weekend Begain!


Spring came late this year and the weather in the Midwest has been a disaster. Seriously, there will be sunshine for one day and then it will be followed by rain, gloom, and wind. I am really starting to get the blues here! Luckily the weekend is here and we are taking our annual trip to Chicago! We will reside mainly a suburb area but of course I am going to make our way to Millenium Park. I hear it is a  photographer's dream. I can't wait!I am doing a bunch of laundry right now in preparation. 
The photo I am sharing took place yesterday at the Golden Coral, my husband is so good in getting those toys out of the machine box. But, he is also as equally bad as he will spend up to 5.00 to prove to himself that he can do it. Yesterday was no exception and a major FAIL! LOL! My poor Lexi bug, she almost was certain she was going away with a toy.
