Looking forward to some beautiful fall weather and …

  •  I’ve been a sucker for the Other Guys, the UI’s long-time men’s a capella group, ever since they performed at my high school. See them for free by attending the celebration of Foellinger Auditorium’s 100th anniversary on Saturday at 7 p.m.
  • It’s Kids Day at the Krannert Art Museum in Champaign (not to be confused with the Krannert Center in Urbana, people) from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.  “Fun-filled event for the entire family with demonstrations, hands-on art projects, dance, music, and storytelling.”
  • The Worldwide Day of Play celebration from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Urbana’s Crestview Park. Here’s the description for the Urbana Park District: “Join us for this FREE afternoon of fun games and activities to celebrate Nickelodeon and the American Heart Association’s Worldwide Day of Play! We’ll supply the games, sports equipment, craft supplies, and healthy snacks; all we need from you is to turn off the TV and come out to play!” (Thanks for the tip, Jenna!). There’s also a Day of Play celebration in Savoy’s Prairie Fields Park from 1 to 3 p.m.

    I love the Krannert Art Museum. I ate lunch there all the time in school.

    We might have to go out to the Day Of Play tomorrow since our daddy will be at the big game.

    We’re going to the game. We have 4 tickets, but I think the baby and I might just head home after the tailgate and skip the game. My husband seems to think that he will get to actually watch the game. No way! He’ll have a 3-year-old with him!

    I can’ t imagaine trying to breastfeed in that stadium and the bathrooms are out of the question (for the baby, not for peeing). And I don’t think there is a public lounge area. And you can’t bring strollers in.

    All anti-baby things to consider!

    Day of Play is coming to Bloomington Normal for the first time this year.

    As I sat and iced my injured knee..I saw that Nick was not on today…it just had a screen that said WWDay of Play and suggested activities scrolled along the bottom. That is great.

    The other guys are definately a guilty pleasure of mine. Only in C-U would “Throwing Shade on the Corn” be a punishable offense…
