Derby Time!

Saturday night, Shaun and I were in the front row at the Civic Center for the Peoria Push Derby Dames' second ever bout. It was a double-header vs. McLean County and the Quad Cities. So fun, and great seats! By chance we sat next to Paula Bunyan's family (holding several poster board axes) and Dottie B. Rotten's family. They are two of the best Derby Dames, and it was quite exciting to be in their cheering section. You can't stop the chop!

It's Derby Time!

The past weekend was one of the busiest we've had in quite a long time. It was a very fun sort of busy. Friday evening we had some friends over. The carved pumpkins went over very well, as did the food.

Saturday was even more fun. We headed over to East Peoria for a roller derby match. How exciting! There were lots of crazy skating costumes, pushing, shoving, action, and nicknames. What's not to love? We even had front row seats thanks to Shaun springing for the VIP tickets. So worth it!

Sunday we were at Grandma Norma's for a wiener roast and an informal celebration for Shaun's birthday.

The fun continues on Wednesday when we'll be in Bloomington for a Here Come the Mummies concert. I don't think we've been this fun ever in our lives.
