It's that day in the football season where Sunday means the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers play each other.
Mom grew up in Titletown/the Frozen Tundra and Dad grew up in Bear country.
When Caleb was a baby my family used to joke that they were going to get us nursery gear all in green and gold. When Lorelei was a baby is was a Packer's cheerleader outfit. Both threats were mostly empty, but dad said, "Over my dead body. I'll just throw it away." Which always got peels of laughter. If we happen to be with my family during a game a lot of good natured ribbing takes place.
If you ask Caleb which team is his favorite, he's already figured out how to reply without being offensive to the Green Bay or Chicago side, "I like the Packers (or Bears), but I also like the Bears (or Packers). They are both my favorite." Smart boy.
Thankfully, when it comes to baseball, our families agree...Go Cubbies!

Nothing Exciting to Report
It was just another Thursday here.
George and I both got up and got the kids ready for school. I walked them this morning while he stayed back to take a shower. We went grocery shopping shortly after I got home. He humored me by hanging out at Hobby Lobby while I looked for some craft supplies I need.
We both ran to pick up Lorelei at 11:30. The kindergartners went to see Seussical this morning and she seemed to have enjoyed it. She didn't tell us anything about it though which makes me wonder how much attention she really paid to it. George picked up Caleb after school because I just wasn't feeling up to it. I haven't heard any complaints so I'll assume it was a thumb's up kind of day.
George went to a Bull's game tonight. His dad got free tickets and I mean, who can pass up free tickets to a pro sporting event? That would have been crazy. He was nice enough to ask if I minded...but of course, I did not. The kids and I ordered from Pizza Hut since they were upset about not being able to take the train into the city with daddy to go to a Bull's game.
I've got to work on some homework with Caleb before bed and then I don't know what I'll do with my evening. I have yet to figure out the sewing machine given the generic instructions so I'm holding off until I can talk to my grandma.
Maybe I'll scrapbook?
