Rylee's Birthday!

So....

I have to start from a month ago. I mean September!

I've been terrible at keeping this updated. This is so Adam will get off my back.

Rylee's 7th Birthday -

First we took Syd and Ry to get pedicures and manicures for her birthday.

(Ahem... Del's a regular now :)

His beautiful feet.

Rylee's lovely fingers and toes.

These were the MOST EXPENSIVE pedicures EVER! See that guy walking behind Del? He had a woopsy. Our bill came to $100. The guy accidentally entered $1000. From my DEBIT card. What a nightmare! He couldn't figure out how to void the transaction, because the owners were out of town and didn't have the right access codes. So we left and went to Olive Garden while he fixed his mess.

As we were waiting for our table, she opened her iPod. (shocking, I know.)

This pic cracked me up - the aftermath of the previous kodak moment. Rylee accidentally smacked Syd in the cheek while posing.

Rylee LOVES Olive Garden. Breadsticks and Alfredo is her favorite.

After Olive Garden we went back to the nail place to see if he had corrected his error. He said, "Can you come back on Tuesday, and I'll write you a check?" Ummmm - NO, are you crazy?! Del's eyeballs almost popped out of his head. The clerk said he can't do anything till then because the owners were on an airplane right then, and there was no way to get a hold of them. He tried calling the credit card machine's customer service to get their help, and they told him there's nothing they could do, because it already went through as a debit. We argued that it wasn't USED as a debit - it was used as a VISA , as we never put in our pin#. After that little tidbit of info he stared at us blankly for a good solid minute. (crickets chirping) He called the company again, and they were able to void it immediately. Hallelujah!!

The following week Rylee had a few friends come over for her friend party. (Have I told you how much I don't LIKE friend parties? The games, the set-up, the mess, etc.)

So Del and I took them to Build-A-Bear instead. :)

Rylee with her PEACE Bear. She loves anything PEACE related.

Del - playing along with the girls.

Picking out the bear's clothes.

All done building.

After they were done building their bears, we went next door to Picture People, and they got to strike a couple poses.

Building Bears takes it out of you! We went to dinner at Fudruckers. It was delicious! :)
