Friday, A Busy Day

This is a collage of pictures from yesterday morning when we met Nicole & her two boys at Stonefire Pizza for Mommy & Me time and lunch. For those that don't know who Nicole is, sheis a friend from high school that lives in Glendale and has 2 little boys and because she works as a school teacher we can never get together unless we want to drive 45 minutes to her house to meet with them after school lets out, which is a long ways for a playdate. So, we've only had one playdate with them since moving here. It was CRAZY busy. From 11-1pm the line to get in went outside and halfway down the building and the parking lot was full and people were parking on the side street (that was full too!) I felt bad we met there, as she had never been there before and I think it was a little overwhelming. If it was my first time I might not want to go back. By noon, all the tables were filled and people had to wait in line for a table to open up and then they were escorted to a table as a worker stood guard over it. We didn't eat lunch until 12:15 after the line for food went down because the tables were full and the table-waiting line was gated off. Insane! Although, the kids had a ton of fun.
For dinner we went to Culver's which is right next to Burgess Boys, where we had to pick up daddy. He was dropping of the Prizm to get the tire put on the new rim (from when it was bent previously in that little accident). Isabel shared a cheeseburger, fries, & turtle shake with us. She loved all of it. What kid wouldn't?

She's such a cutie with her shake, isn't she!

In the afternoon, we went to our friend Carrie, Ryan, & Leah's house. We played with play-doh, toys, had a snack, and a pretend slumber party. Isabel just gets along with them so well. When Mike came he he read her a story. I actually had to drag her out of there screaming because she didn't want to leave. She loves going over there so much. This Sunday afternoon, we are babysitting Leah & Ryan over here so that their parents can go out to eat together.

Today, daddy is spending most of his day at the Midwest Gaming Classic. Hopefully he has a lot of fun. He doesn't get to do too much gaming these days, so this is good for him. Later this afternoon, he will come home so we can all to a friend's house for a combo birthday/basketball party. Daddy may go back to gaming later on. We'll see how much fun he had and his ambition level.
