Mommy goes to Chicago

Harleigh and Rogue's baby (Jet handed them out, mommy thought they should get the one that has the same hair color as the girls)
Jet's Hershey's Hat
Rogue with Harleigh's baby (she just loves to play with the hair, poor dolls are going to be bald!)
Jet and the legos!
So work sent me to Chicago Weds-Friday of last week for a bioassay development training course. Oh the excitement! The course was okay, but the 3 days in Chicago was better. I hadn't been in 5 years so it was pretty nice, and whose really going to complain when the airfare, hotel and food is free! So every night after class I walked around downtown seeing what there was to see on the miracle mile and of course looking of the perfect gifts for the kids since this is the first time I've been gone since I've had them! I walked to the hershey's store down by the water tower one day just to look and got Jet a paper hat (I know it's cool) And I was very good and didn't buy all the chocolate I saw, however, if we ever get to take Jet up there they had a machine where you could make your own chocolate gift that he would love to do! Anyway, I'm walking out of the store and what do I see across the square but the American Girl store. Now I'm not so into this so I thought I'd just go in a look, not planning on buying anything. Then of course, there were these signs for the bitty baby twins department, so I had to check it out! And then there were the twins that had a blonde and a brunette in very very cute tea party outfits in purple and green. And now we have the twins, but I was good and didn't get the extra outfits! (right?) So now the girls have baby dolls! and for Jet I found a Lego store, a little boy's heaven! and I was able to get him a set that we never see here in Kansas! What a successful trip!
