Fun Times

We have had such a great weekend. Friday night, Fricano's was yummy, but the bowling alleys were all booked up with leagues, so we headed over to Lynette's for some Wii game action. The guys all played that while Lynette and I ran to Wal-mart. We had a lazy Sat. morning. I was supposed to get my hair cut/highlighted at 11:30, but Lisa M. called and said she had to take Regan to the hospital for tests b/c she has been sick forever. So Chase ended up coming over so he wouldn't have to go with them. She called later on so I headed over there around 12:30 instead. She gave me the "Victoria Beckham" cut and went pretty short. She also did lowlights and highlights. I am pleased with the result even though I wasn't anticipating going that short. I am more trendy now in her words. :-) Then Ryan dropped the kids off at Lisa B.'s and we headed to GR for the Amway Grand. What a nice hotel! Our friend Darcey had gotten us a super nice room for $99. They had gotten a big ole suite, so we all met in their suite for appetizers and drinks before heading out to dinner. Dinner was good, but I was stuffed from the appetizers, so I didn't get much at the restaurant. I want to go back when I can eat more. :-) After dinner, we went to Mojo's (a dueling piano bar). We had a private room upstairs and hung out there until around midnight. It was a really cool atmosphere. And it is always fun to hang out with that group of friends. We don't see them nearly enough. Lesley and I talked about how much we need to get the boys together (Peyton and Cobe), so we are going to do that soon, right Lesley???? We headed back to the Bekins' suite and chatted until after 1:00 then hit the sack. You would think I would have gotten a good night's sleep, but oh no! I woke up repeatedly, and at around 5am, 2 women in the room next to ours started a marathon loud conversation and kept me awake. I was so frustrated- I could hear every word they said. I dozed off again at some point, and when I woke up again at 9:15, THEY WERE STILL GABBING UP A STORM!!!! Who wakes up and talks for hours at 5am?????? Ryan had heard them as well throughout the night. Ugh- I was anticipating a great night's sleep, but no such luck. Ryan had ordered a room service breakfast to be sent to our room at 9:45, so we got up and ate that- pretty yummy. We showered and left the hotel and went to the Grandville mall. Ryan was in search of a lighter weight jacket. We went around the entire mall and didn't buy a thing! Unusual for shopping with no kids. He found the coat he wanted at Dick's but they didn't have his size, so he came home and ordered it on-line. The boys and I just finished watching Thursday night's episode of Survivor. Ryan had lied and told me James had gotten voted off so I kept thinking the whole show that it was going to take a big turn of events. Well... he knows James is our favorite and thought it was oh so funny to tease us. Frosti went, not James. :-) Now Sis is awake and wanted to snuggle with her mommy, so I am going to take advantage of that.

PS- Thanks Lynette for the new Thanksgiving header!!!!
