This is my friend Sean. As you can see, he's "that guy." For no other reason, other than wanting to laugh, I present a montage of "that guy":

Kids aren't easy!
So, this weekend, Matt & I had my two neices & one nephew staying at our apartment. We picked them up in Elgin (mainly because driving in Chicago scares my mom, and there's a 98.9867% chance that she'd get lost anyway) around 9:30 (so we could make it back to the city in plenty of time for what turned out to be the atrocity of an Illini game).
After the game, we headed out to the Shedd Aquarium. I took the kids on the train, mainly because they'd think it was some sort of ride. When we got to Shedd, the line was all the way out the door, and probably halfway across the museum campus (likely a 30-45 minute wait). We decided to head to The Field Museum (Natural History museum). We made our way through the Nature Walk first, and then headed up to the evolution exhibit. It was a bit heavy for the kids, so I walked through it quickly with the kids, so they could get to the dinosaur section of it. We eventually headed home, made our own pizza & relax.
After many hours of cartoon watching and illegible "pictures" drawn by my 4 year old neice, it was finally time to take them back out to Elgin. I knew kids weren't easy, but I didn't realize the young ones needed as much freaking attention. :eek
After dropping the kids off, Matt & I met Matt's parents at Pequod's for pizza in celebration of Matt's birthday (3/3) and his dad's birthday (3/8). Any time I can have some fantastic Pequod's, I'm in.
Because lunch/dinner was at 3, we were able to get back home by 5 and relax for the remainder of the weekend...
