Greg's birthday

We had fun going to Makati and having burgers for lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe and got an extra bonus hour in the car to talk without kids interrupting.

On Thursday, Greg had a birthday party at work-his co-workers surprised him, though he was rather suspicious about a "meeting" that he was needed at that afternoon.  They made him a banner, got a cake and balloons, and had a caricature drawing of him riding a bicyle.  When he was on a trip to Vancouver, he and a few of the guys rented bikes and went riding one weekend.  They also wrote nice notes on the back of his picture.  I loved it-he had a surprise party and I didn't get in trouble for planning something embarassing!

Ashley and I bought him an ice cream cake-sadly one could not be found that contained mint chocolate chip ice cream but we found cookies and cream instead.  We all had some of that after dinner on Friday night.

We had a relaxing weekend at home-playing Life with Scott and Ryan, playing wii, and on Sunday we went to church and swam in the afternoon and played Clue.  As usual we were sad for the weekend to end and Monday to come again. 

Though Monday we had a "girls" lunch with Greg at the mall which was very nice.  Ashley asked me if the boys were coming and I told her that they were at school.  She asked if we could swim with them later and I said "well we just did that yesterday"  and she said we needed to do it again soon.  She made it sound like it was ok to sneak off and have lunch with Greg without them getting to join us as long as we went swimming with them later!
