so i guess i amuse myself too much. when i was packing to get ready and getting all of my liquids into their appropriate sized, airplane acceptable containers, i decided to give myself a chuckle. so this is how i labeled my containers. i don't know... i just like to amuse myself.
this was laura and my first lunch in chicago. boston blackie's... delicious! we got some of the best, and FASTEST burgers ever! along with our fabulous burgers, we ordered a pitcher... but it was TINY! when the waiter brought it over, we instantly started laughing... before we could even say anything, he laughed and made a joke about how little the pitchers are. i don't know... we thought it was funny.
kimmy and i at the deep dish pizza place... god i love that girl!
laura and kimmy in the bathroom at borders... those are little plastic wine bottles in their hands... they had them stashed in their purses.
mo chugged that wine like a champ! next to the toilet...
mmm... mojito! too bad they made me sick later that night.
kasey did NOT enjoy her non-alcoholic drink... that's what happens when you're pregnant for girl's weekend!
kimmy LOVED her sangria though!
ah, the ginormous guess? sunglasses...
ok, so laura and i got a really big kick out of the "caution falling ice" signs that were EVERYWHERE!!! so we decided to amuse ourselves... i told you i amuse myself!
kimmy kinda looks like betty boop or something!
mo is terrified of the falling ice!
kasey's face is classic! she really was not loving the idea of being so foolish... i think it was the non-alcoholic drinks!
sweet view of the city from the hancock building
kasey, mo, kimmy and i on the 95th floor of the hancock building getting our view
laura and kasey...
look! mo is "magically" keeping the bottle in the air! (yeah, it's ANOTHER plastic wine bottle!)
notice 2 things... the tag still on her shirt, and her magical capabilities!
i had a bit of a belly ache form the mojitos, and kasey was beat from being pregnant and chasing us around all day... she and i stayed in while the other girls went out. mind you, they had been drinking plastic bottles of wine.
girl's weekend lovin 
this might be my favorite picture of the weekend... 
kimmy was trying to talk to kasey and i on the phone, and i'm not sure what happened to mo's eye! "mo, what happen yo eye?" 
and here we are... crazy, fredonia, drunken mo. my god did i miss that girl! 
notice laura passing out as this picture was taken. mo was telling us all about how she got those beads from michael phelps. come to find out, it was actually a swingers party that "michael phelps" was at... i'm serious. the best part was mo telling us "they kept trying to convince me of something, but i'm not sure what it was". classic.
kimmy actually laughed so hard that she LITERALLY peed her pants. i blame the twins she had in her belly a short 10 months ago... i think she blamed mo for being so damn funny. ps, look at laura... and there are my toes. kasey and i laid in bed and just laughed at the girls when they got back. too funny.sporadic pictures? yes. best weekend? yes. do i want to go back again this weekend? yes.
i have always been friends with guys more than girls... until i met these crazy girls. i love them. i love their guts!
so the night before i left (after the fish tank incident) for chicago, my boys were VERY clingy. clay, who normally could care less if i'm home or not, told me "no, you can't go to chicago. you need to stay home". i asked why his father can snowmobile and hunt for full weekends and that's no problem, but he had no answer for me.
here we are... kimmy, kasey, mo, laura, and me. we had SO MUCH FUN!!!!! we did a lot of eating, drinking, talking and walking! i think i walked 47 miles this weekend! chicago was experiencing near record high temperatures, and we were loving every minute of it!
we found alyssa (litta as carter calls her), my cousin, my babysitter, and my boys favorite girl on earth! she's so sweet and caring, and yet she rips on a dirt bike... if they were older, my boys would probably fight to marry her (if she wasn't a relative too of course).
"the prowler"
and when we finally left, my boys were completely broken... clay was folded in half snoring...
