Saturday was a super busy day, and it never really ended. In the morning, Em and I went to playdate at her friend Madeleine's. It was so nice to get the playdates going again and all the girls playing together again. We mom's enjoyed our "mommy social time" as well. What a nice way to spend our late morning/early afternoon Saturday. Thanks Christina and Jeff for opening your house to us for playdate! We had a great time! Can't wait until the next playdate! I didn't take many pictures at playdate this time. We must have been too busy socializing! Here's a cute one though of Em and Madeleine reading some books.
After playdate we headed to the auto show in Detroit. Greg's mom went with us and we planned to check out the cars first and then go to dinner in Greek Town. Of course since Scooby is here for the weekend, he went along too. The auto show was pretty busy since it was opening day, but I actually expected it to be a little busier than it was. Still there were plenty of people nonetheless. I haven't been to a car show in probably 10 years. I'm not one that has to look at every single car. It was something to do and since Greg's looking for a car this year seemed to be a good year to go. There were lots of nice cars. Some concept cars that were cool, but will probably never be made. Then there were lots of cars that were roped off or locked that we couldn't check out. Greg really wanted to look at the Mazda 2 that is coming out this summer. Wouldn't you know it... they had three there and ALL three were roped off. I just find that a little ridiculous. Why have a new model (and three of them at the auto show) that is coming out in the summer and not one of the three could you look inside and check out. A big disappointment.
So as we made our way in and out of people we spotted some cars that we liked, some that were very different, and some that we would pick should we ever win the lotto! Evan and Em found some they liked too. Evan thought this little cafeteria car was pretty cool. He and Scooby had to check it out!
This was a Subaru Hybrid Tourer concept car that was very different. I had to imagine our family in it for just a minute, and then I realized that within in 10 seconds in this winter weather the interior would probably be black! Not the color for a family with two little kids! Evan thought the doors were really cool!
We saw this truck about half way through the auto show, and the kids thought this truck on the ceiling was silly!
Em didn't really care what the car looked like as long as she could sit in it!
Greg and I both like this new Lexus LFA. Oh if we could only win the lotto! Gorgeous with the black and red leather interior. Neither of us are white car people, but for a car with a white exterior, this Lexus looked really nice! The three combo color of white, red, and black was awesome!
After continuing our way through a little more, I found my dream car should I win that $86 million in the lotto on Tuesday (maybe I should buy a ticket). The Maserati! I think this car is so beautiful. I've never seen blue leather interior. Not only was the blue leather beautiful, but with the tan it was super gorgeous! A little pricey though... probably $250,000! Isn't it pretty?
After we finished at the auto show, we hopped on the People Mover and headed to Greek Town. It's been years since I've been to Greek Town. The kids loved the people mover and thought it was fun. Here they are (Scooby too) heading to Greek Town!
It was pretty busy in Greek Town with the auto show going on and all. We ended up eating at the Parthenon. I'm not a huge fan of Greek food, but since Greg is Greek he likes spinach pie and all that. I do like the Saganaki (flaming cheese). At first Em didn't like it when the waiter lit the cheese on fire, but as we saw more and more of the Saganaki being served to other tables she was getting into it, saying "Opa," which you shout when the cheese is lit on fire! Here's our Saganaki!
It was a long afternoon/evening, but we had fun! We managed to keep Scooby with us the whole time and not lose him! I was a little worried about that! We got home about 9:30pm. Evan went to Greg's mom's to stay the night and Em went to bed right when we got home. Since we were kid free we decided we'd finally watch one of our movies we got for Christmas, The Hangover. After staying up late and going to bed a little before 1am, we were then awakened right after we fell asleep by Em puking. Poor thing, I felt so bad for her. She's only puked like a couple times ever. Greg cleaned up the mess, while I gave Em a bath. We got her bedding changed and everything, got her tucked back in only to get right back up 15 minutes after we tucked her in because she was puking again. Yes, you can see where this is going. It was a long night to make a long story short. Greg made a Meijer run at 2am (thank goodness it's right down the road) to get some Pepto. Em and I hung out in the living room and she puked two more times. We ended up camping out in the living room for the night. Of course neither of us slept well. We both woke up very tired. Unfortunately no time for a nap today. Evan had a birthday party to go to in the afternoon. It was pretty much the last thing I wanted to do this afternoon, but I took him, while Greg stayed home with Em. She napped the whole time so Greg got to chill. I'm not sure what was wrong with Em. Both kids have had flu shots so we didn't think it was the flu. Maybe it was, who knows. We were thinking maybe it was something she ate yesterday, but she really didn't eat much. She seems to be fine all day today. Just tired from not getting much sleep. So we're all going to be calling it an early night tonight. That's our busy weekend and here's hoping we all get some good sleep tonight! Happy Monday tomorrow everyone! Hope your work week goes fast!
