The other night we took the boys to a Windy City Thunderbolts game. It was a beautiful night and we were looking forward to the fireworks afterwards. We started out on the lower level right behind home plate, but the net was bugging us so much, we ended up moving up to the top level behind third plate around the fifth inning.

The boys had a blast and wore their favorite baseball jerseys: Cubs and Sox. Yes, we have a divided household, similar to the typical Alabama/Auburn household back in Bama. I guess you run across house-bound rivalries where ever you go.

The Thunderbolts won 14-11 after a very long game.

Remember those cicadas that we have been expecting? Well, they never showed their evil red eyes around our house, but the in-laws are infested. Hubby took the kids over to their house the other night and let them see the critters up close.

Yuck! I didn't go.

He's very disappointed that they didn't emerge in our yard, but I say thank God. The last thing I need is a bunch of devil bugs screwing in my yard and making babies.
