By now, you’ve probably heard that the Cubs won the World’s Series! The seventh game last night was just good baseball. The Cubs haven’t won the World Series since 1908, 108 years ago, in the 10th inning with 8 runs.
And because the game went into 10 innings with a rain delay, it was almost midnight when the game was over. (For the Indians’ fans in the Eastern time zone, it was an hour late, and they didn’t have a win to celebrate.) It was hard for us to wind down and actually go to sleep last night. Even my little preschoolers had been up way too late and were a little cranky. One little boy kept lying his head down on the table because he was so tired. After I prepared the snack and watching my co-teacher lead an activity with the kids, I started to yawn. Tonight, it’s a relief not to have to stay up to watch the game like we have been doing for the playoffs and the World Series!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. I’m just ready for a good night’s sleep! So I’ll leave you with this picture from 2013, of Ed and his girls in front of Wrigley Field.
It was all such an incredible thing to watch play out, wasn’t it? LOVE that picture! I used to live near the Wrigley field… and venture over to a cubs game with friends often. They hold a place in my heart and in my history…
Wow, I didn’t realize that! How fun! My cousin lives by Wrigley, but she doesn’t go to many Cubs games. Tickets have been harder to get this season! We were lucky to be able to go to a game in August.
It was great baseball and I am so thrilled about their win! We already ordered t-shirts for ourselves!

Hurray! Wear them with pride!
Congratulations!! I can relate to the sleep thing though, even if I didn’t watch any baseball at all! Making Christmas ornaments late into the evening when you have to get up early again does take its toll. Thank goodness it’s the weekend. Right?
