Saturday started with Jazzercise, a special Valentine's day class, we had 56 people in class, it was heart pumping. There were 7 instructors teaching so we each did two songs. After Jazzercise was Yoga and again, another great class. I tried getting Tom to come to Jazzercise since there is always a few husbands/boyfriends there but he didn't want any part in it, oh well, maybe next year. After Jazzercise and Yoga, I went home to shower and get ready for massages. Tom and I enjoyed a couple massage at Body and Soul, this has been a yearly tradition, so instead of buying each other birthday gifts and Valentine gifts we decide to do massages for ourselves and let me tell you, it's so worth it. We always get treated wonderful at Body and Soul, I know it's a part of the package we pay for, but we walk in and they greet us and ask right away if we would like some water or tea. We usually have Chai Tea, however that wasn't offered to us until after our massages but we didn't have to wait long, our masseuse's were all ready for us. My masseuse was a girl whom I played basketball with and she did wonderful. Tom said his was wonderful to. After our massages we enjoyed a glass of champagne and a few chocolates, Dove milk chocolates to be exact. Tom also enjoyed a cup of wonderful tea. We left there super relaxed and felt amazing!
After our massages we had about an hour to spare until our dinner reservations so we went and washed my car and filled it up with gas since I will be driving to Burr Ridge Monday. So that took us to about 4:30 and our reservations were at 5:00 at Vinny Vanucchi's, we decided to go in since we found a pretty good spot to park and sure enough, they got us right in. Tom and I shared a bottle of Reisling, one of my favorites and had stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer, they were delicious, stuffed with crabmeat. For dinner I ordered the Seafood Millennium and Tom had a stuffed tenderloin or something like that, I'm sure the name of it, but everything was amazing. My plate had at least 4 servings, so we had lots of leftovers. Tom will eat it up while I'm gone, however I might have some for dinner tonight.
So after dinner, we met up with my cousin Erica and Gary, she had called me Thursday night asked if we wanted to go out for dinner but since we already had plans we thought maybe we could meet up after. They went to the Starr restuarant and we met up at The Diamond Jo. We got there much earlier then Erica and Gary since our reservation were an hour earlier so enjoyed a few drinks thanks to some old co-workers they hooked us up with some free drinks. So while waiting, of course, we had to do a little gambling. Well anyone who knows me, I usually just watch or sit and talk to people, but Tom wasn't winning much so I decided to take $20 and put it in a slot machine, well sure enough, it was me who was hot tonight! I shouldn't start bragging but we did come out I think about $10 ahead the whole night. It was a lot of fun, the only thing that sucked was we left there smelling like an ash tray. Right when walked into the doors we remembered that you can smoke inside the casino's, wow could you smell it. Erica said the same thing and wished she'd left her coat in the car or coat check. Well, we were there for about an hour once Erica and Gary came then we decided to go have a drink somewhere else, well we decided to stay close to the area and decided to go to Lot One, we had a few drinks and found a table to sit and talk at. Wow, did we feel old though, it was a pretty young crowd but we didn't mind, we just enjoyed each others company. We ended up home by midnight or so.
Brandon had 3 of his buddies spend the night and here's what we woke up to..
It's nice to have a spare bed just in case. I got up about 9:00 and heard the boys out in the kitchen, well here they were making breakfast for everyone, including Tom and I! They had the waffle maker out and everything, they even made sausage's. It was very sweet of them. It was so funny, you can only do one waffle at a time so they had a stack of waffles and by the time we went to eat them they were kind of cold but it was all worth it. Here's a few pictures of them in the kitchen.
The waffle maker - the first one is always tricky, they kind of poured too much batter. LOL
And the boys enjoying their breakfast.
And for the most part they cleaned up as well. I guess last night they made pancakes while we were gone, they even had to ride their bike up to the store to get milk, one of the boys wanted milk bad and we were out. Brandon said he even loaded the dishwasher and started it, they must have had a lot of dishes! The 4 boys said when they get older and out of highschool, they are going to live together and cook all the time. LOL
So tomorrow I leave for Burr Ridge and I haven't started packing yet, so I better get going. Tom's taking a nap, Micayla just got home a little bit ago. It's been a lazy day for me. The kids keeps asking what we're going to have for supper and I have no idea, I was thinking about leftovers but I don't think that's going to fly with the kids. Tomorrow Micayla's boyfriend is coming to meet us, but I wont be here so Tom will have to fill me in. They are supposed to go out for pizza and I was thinking of ordering pizza tonight. I've been hungry for Happy Joe's so we'll see!
