And We Still Let Them Out In Public

After dinner at a local Mexican food restaurant.





In our children's defense, Brad and I agreed it was one of the most pleasant "eating-out" experiences with our children. Everyone ate most of their food (well, except for the food they were using for their body art), nobody threw a fit (not even me), no one had to be threatened within an inch of their life to stay in their seat, stop throwing food, or to please stop blowing bubbles in the sprite, and there was even pleasant conversation. I think we should just give up going to any more restaurants for the rest of the year because you know it will never happen again.

When exactly did we stop thinking beans and ice cream smeared all over our children was disgusting and start taking pictures?

My favorite blog posts are the ones that make me feel "normal" in the craziness of motherhood! Thanks for showing me that our dining out experiences are indeed-"normal". :) Too cute! And AMAZING that you had such a great experience, even if it was messy!

I think the messy pictures came about the same time as taking pics of your kids throwing rocks at each other! Your kids are so fun!!!

Oh, I love it. The pictures are adorable. I know I don't care what my kids are doing with their food as long and I can eat and have a semi-decent conversation with my husband! LOL
