so apparently I saw the vice president.
not that I know what he looks like, but we were in downtown Chicago on monday, and a bunch of police cars and black SUVs went by, and everyone said Joe Biden was rather conspicuously in one of the windows. hm.
Chris' brother and SIL came in for a few days, and we spent the whole time running around. shops they don't have in FL, downtown, and sunday was Ingrid's baptism, so that followed by her party... they left yesterday, when it *finally* decided to snow. a lot. apparently they sat at Midway airport for 9 hours before taking off. :P
ohhh yeah, and if you want tons of free junk food? take your kids to Corner Bakery downtown during business hours. it's like they never saw kids before. one lady gave them each a free huge cookie. another gave them each a bag of chips and later, when we were getting our coats on, came over with a bag full of 3 (more) huge cookies...
