Family Time Saturday

Saturday before I headed to New York, I made sure to spend some time with the Princess for the day. We headed to Hawthorne Mall in Vernon Hills to get her haircut at Kid Snips. Boy was I impressed with this place. They had movies for the kids to watch while they cut her hair, she got to watch Frozen. They gave me hair advice and styled her hair also. For older kids they had Wii games, all this for only $18.

They did her hair like Elsa
 

After getting her haircut, we wandered around the mall. We played a bit in the play area and walked through some stores. She got a toy from the hair place and a balloon. Unfortunately I am freaked by balloons popping so it could not come home. Next I took her to her first lunch at Chic Fil A and she played in the play place for a bit.

Yum
 

That night we got Jimanos pizza and watched Scooby Doo and the WrestleMania Mystery. It was so cute and we all enjoyed it!

 

We tucked her in bed before I finished packing and played with the cats for a bit.

Cat Pile!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!



Saturday Night Fun

I hope everyone had a nice Sat night... before we all lose an hour of sleep :(. Tonight we went on an adventure to Oakbrook Court Mall. I had not been there in a year or so and neither had Justin. We went to Lush where I got two awesome new Easter items.

The Brightside

Immaculate Eggception

Afterwards we went to the Microsoft Store to go preorder Gears of War Judgement, again. When we found out the Microsoft Store was having a launch party we decided to cancel our online order and go to the party.

We looked at the cars in the window at Tesla.

 

After a bit more shopping we headed to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner. They have these awesome new diet pepsi drinks, I had Pomegranate and Blood Orange Pepsi, wow was it good. I got to try the new Brussels Sprout Pizza, yum! Justin had the Meat Cravers.

Such good food! I have never had brussel sprouts on pizza and it was awesome! Then we came home and watched JT on Saturday Night Live. I have not laughed so hard at that show in forever!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Saturday!

 

Phi Sigma Sigma Reunion- Wonderful Night with Wonderful Ladies!

Saturday night Bonnie and I headed to Oakbrook Center Mall to got to our Phi Sigma Sigma reunion at Maggiano's.  We had not seen some of these ladies in over 10 years!  We were nervous at first.  Would they remember us?  Would they talk to us?  We were also so excited!!  When we got to the mall we went to Macy's and walked around for a bit.  I also got to see my first Microsoft Store, woohoo!

  Then we headed to the restaurant and hunted for some parking.

  When we got inside we found the sign with our parties' name on it and headed to the room.

Here we are, above Mary Jane and Sara's wedding dinner

And right under the Lithuanian Catholic Association

When we got into the room we were immediately greeted by the girls and felt so much better.  We had a great dinner, a four course meal!

Our menu, yum!

My plate

Bonnie was all about the chicken parm!

We ate at the table with Beth, Julie, her daughter, Kristen, Carrie, and Lanie.  It was so much fun catching up with everyone.  Why in the world did Bonnie and I wait 7 plus years to see these ladies again ?!?!  After dinner we chatted, laughed, and took pictures.  We had such a great time and can't wait to get together with everyone again.  I know we are going to try and be better with staying in touch.  Here are some great pictures I took and some from my pledge mom Carrie.

Beth and Kristen- Beth was so great in organizing the whole thing.
