Sports

Charity Did Not like soccer this fall. She played for an entire 10 minutes the whole season. I'm kind of sad I'm at a conference in Wisconsin this weekend and can't take her to her last game, but I don't miss the fight. However she did look like a cute football player in her jersey. Now I have to think about if we want to try basketball...

The Warmest October in 30 Years

Today it rained, singling the end of the longest stretch of warm, beautiful days October has seen in 30 years, according to WBEZ. Because the last time Chicagoland has been this warm and accommodating to a three-year-old who can turn a two-bedroom apartment from clean to post-nuclear in the time it takes me to update my Facebook status, we had to enjoy it. No, we didn't go to the pumpkin patch. We're doing that this Sunday. We probably visited the park for the last time this year.

Charity figured out that she can swing from this park equipment.

She made me stand far away so she could do it "by herself."

Yesterday, we had to stay inside because we were waiting for the carpet cleaner, so we decided to make ghosts. Charity calls them "goosets," and she makes them say "wooooooooo."
