Brewery tour

Last Saturday we went on a brewery tour of Chicago.  April wanted to go to a yarn shop and there happened to be 3 breweries fairly close by so we all headed out with her.  Chicago has a fair few decent breweries, I think we've been to 4 semi big ones.  And a couple of others that are attached to bars too.







In case you need something to stir your bloody Mary with

Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you.  That is a strip of crispy bacon.



I found a new games shop a month ago

A pretty decent selection of games at this games shop.  There were the free to play ones.  The other side of the shop had games to buy.  Games Workshop, D&D plus standard boardgames too.


A great shop, that had games nights most days of the week.  Sometimes I wish I wasn't so bad with meeting new people as it might have been fun.

It's time to go for a walk


When Florence grabs the TV remote and turns it off you know that it's time to take her out for a walk.

Mr C

Florence likes these little plastic links, they're fairly good at connecting her toys to things like the pram.  However she's lost most of the ones she got from Australia.  I found them on e-bay so bought her 48 more.  They should last us till we get back to the UK.


Not a minutes peace





Now that Florence is crawling all over the place and constantly wanting to stand I get absolutely no peace and quiet (hence not many blog posts recently).  I sit down on the sofa for 5 minutes and she wants to get up there too.  Urgh, it's bloody hard work.

Star of the show

We both took Florence to her last baby play time at the library on Monday.  Flo was the star of the show.  Waving and clapping at all the appropriate times.  I don't know where she gets the extrovert gene from.  It's certainly not from us.



How many can I stick on Florence?











I bought these rubber toys for Flo the other day.  They're very good at sticking to the floor, unfortunately not so good at sticking to Florence.

Family of twats

Not 1 but 4 of them on idiot chariots.  One was pushing a pram!


Leave Florence for 2 minutes

And look at what happens.  Look at her innocent face.
