Suite Life

We live in a hotel. There is a front desk and a lobby and people to open the door for you when you walk in or out. There's even a breakfast buffet service every morning in the lobby. About half of the teachers and their families live in our building and the other half live in another hotel in a different part of Clifford Estates. So, on each floor, there are one or two apartments that people actually live in and the rest are hotel rooms. Sometimes there are big conventions so there are a lot of people staying and the lobby is full and the elevators are crowded. But, mostly, it's just the regulars--the teachers and the hotel staff. It's actually really fun. It reminds me a bit of "The Suite Life of Zach and Cody". My kids have little inside jokes with the people at the front desk. And they are friends with all the other kids here and just go from floor to floor on the elevator seeing who's available for playing. There's one guy at the front desk that is really friendly and loves playing with my kids. He jumps out from behind the desk and yells, "Haley!" when she walks by. And if he ever comes up with repair men to our apartment (which has happened almost daily lately while we're getting our new internet hooked up), he chases Haley around and plays with her. He also has little jokes that he does with Britton everyday. It's fun to have people you see everyday who are friendly and nice and greet you with a smile. They are so helpful when we have questions about things. We are really spoiled here.
