WEEK IN REVIEW

It was a strange and irritating week. Friday landed us in Antone's That's Italian (fairly new branch of Antone's) for dinner. Problem #1-- no hostess, few waitresses b/c a mystery fair was going on somewhere. Problem #2-- service couldn't be any slower, refer back to problem #1. Problem #3-- not enough silverware, so we sent Madeline to another table to steal some, Problem #4-- after halfway through Matt's meal, he realizes that the chicken breast is completely raw in the middle. Problem #5-- the waitress leaves the raw chicken plate on the table for the rest of the meal. Problem #6-- no manager comes to apologize , but didn't charge Matt for his meal. Problem #7-- I was up all night nauseated and sick, and Matt thought he would throw up. Solution to problems 1-7 is never go there again.
Saturday took us to Avon Lake to visit our high school friends. The girls had a blast playing with Emily (Kathy's daughter) while the adults played Trivial Pursuit. The night at the hotel, however, was another thing. When all the lights were out, there was a blinking, bright light on the fire alarm. Drove me nuts personally. Then an orange light was blinking in the bathroom coming from the hair dryer. AND THEN.. every time the people above us used water, it sounded like I was being beamed up to the mother ship. Matt shot up the first time he heard it to tell me to turn the alarm off. We were sleepy.
On the way home from there, Madeline asked for a gorilla bar. We pretty much had no idea what she meant. Then finally we figured it out, a GRANOLA bar. HA!
Tuesday was Matt's Weight Watchers meeting which the girls and I waited in the car/shopped for the 45 mins. I bought a cheap (emphasize cheap) box of play food cans. I get home to find that a photo of corn was actually baked beans and that ham was actually HUM spelled out in bold letters. Anyways, the best part of that night for ME, was when Matt opened the car door of the minivan sitting in front of WW. Too bad it wasn't OURS!! He scared the shit out of some lady in the van!! It was hilarious :) He was actually getting in when she screamed. HAHAHA.
Today we spent hours at the swim club which tired the girls out tremendously. Here is how grumpy Meredith gets...These are some photos that I love of the girls playing dressup. They really do look similar don't they?
