The Parrillo Family

One recent weekend, Nat was out of town.  That meant that a special "Daddy Sunday Funday" as the kids called it was in order. We were busy and did things that I knew the kids would love and that Nat probably wouldn't love to do as they're mostly obnoxious.  Yeah..obnoxious.  But that's what happens when Dad is alone for a weekend, right? Alright, without further delay, here's how we spent a recent Sunday: Started the day at Chuck-e-Cheeses where we played tons of games.  And watched a show.  No food, though.  The kids loved collecting the tickets.  (But I was disappointed with the prizes!) After that, we went to the All Aboard Diner where they deliver our cheeseburgers by model train.   The kids loved it.  The Beef was in his element! Then we had to work off the calories, so off we went to SkyZone to jump on the trampolines for an hour.  Look at how high Eloise was getting! Frankie had to be hauled out...

Our Eloise started the year out with a big milestone: receiving the sacrament of Reconciliation at St. Mary's of Gostyn Church in Downers Grove.  She was nervous, but went in there like a big girl.  When I asked her what she confessed to, she said: "I can't tell you!". She's a second grader this year, so it is a big year at Catholic School. After this, Eloise is on her way to her first Communion later this Spring.
