A Great Season

The Andrew freshman baseball team ended with a record of 29-7. Unfortunately, the last 2 games were rained out and the boys were not given the chance to get 30 wins. It was a sad way to end the season, but Wally was really proud of the team. He had a great group of kids this year. They celebrated with a pizza party on Monday after finals and one of the parents is hosting a barbecue on Sunday afternoon.

Wally is now helping the varsity team as they begin regionals today. We'll see how far the Andrew baseball team can go!

90 Degrees in May

What do we do when it is 90 degrees in May and our pool isn't open yet????

Luke got this fun splash pad for Easter from Grandma and Grandpa Zukowski. He seemed to like it, but didn't get too crazy in it. It is hard when the water from the hose is freezing!!! It was a fun way to cool off on Sunday though!

Then Luke got a special treat when we came inside - chocolate ice cream. This definitely isn't something he gets everyday, in fact this is the first time he has had CHOCOLATE ice cream. Let me tell you, he loved it, but it was a mess!!!! And now his new favorite thing to do is open the freezer and pull out the ice cream - what have we started?!?!

It was a hot, but fun Sunday!!!

Bachelorette Party

This past Saturday was Jes' bachelorette party and it was a blast!!! We rented a condo on the far north side of Chicago. We ate and drank, opened presents, played a game, and laughed a lot!

All of us, minus Kim...we had no idea she was missing :(

Then it was time to head to the Kit Kat Lounge, which for those of you who don't know (assuming that would be the majority of you :) ), it is a bar/restaurant/drag show! I would have to say it wasn't at all what I was expecting. I thought there would be a stage, but it was just a very small, but gorgeous restaurant where the "divas" performed on the floor and interacted with the tables. The place was full of bachelorette parties! We were able to see Mary J. Blige, Whitney Houston, Beyonce, and Rhianna perform. It was a lot of fun, but I will save this blog from any of those pictures (check out Facebook if you really must see them!). At the end of the night there we received our bill that was just under $600...wow!!! Not bad divided up among 17 of us, but still shocking!!!

A little Sex and the City-ish

Waiting for our table outside the Kit Kat Lounge

After the Kit Kat Lounge we walked over to Wrigleyville and finished the night at Sluggers. During the walk, there were shoes exchanged due to hurting feet and pictures taken in front of Wrigley that included jumping and inappropriate hand motions made by non-Cub fans. We closed Sluggers down and headed back to the condo where we had some late night munchies.

The morning came all too quickly though...

All in all, we thought it was a very successful bachelorette party and Jes had a great time. It is always great to get all the girls together! See everyone again in 2 months!
