When I told Mike we were going to go out to eat, I'm sure what he heard was "Take two chopsticks and gouge my eyes out." I almost forgot why we really never go out to eat with all the kids. Tonight reminded me of exactly why we take it "TO GO."
I love my kids....I really do, but you have to know your limitations. I mean, yeah....we can handle them, but why put ourselves through the torture in public when we can take the same torture at the house, BUT we can give hell back without having all eyes on us from others.
I have some really good friends. I mean, if I knew a family like mine I would spend time with them, but the day they asked me if I wanted to spend an evening out to a restaurant with the entire family....well....I'm sure something would come up that I would have to take a reign check......every....single.....time....I was asked. LOL. I appreciate it. I do, but I will never ask again. That is misery wanting company (of course I'm exaggerating...somewhat).
We get to Great - Viking Restaurant. So excited. I could just smell the aroma seeping out the building. My tummy does flips excitedly. I figured there was going to be, at a minimum, a 10 minute wait, but we ended up waiting about an hour. OMG.....an hour. A total of 5 adults and 6 children. Someone choke me already. This happened to be my GREAT idea.
And this guy was not really happy with it. Thank god he loves me for reasons other than my bright ideas.
But he was a trooper and a scholar!!!
He made me so proud. Proud because he didn't give me an ear full!
No issues with this kid. Until you ask him to clean his room and all hell breaks loose, but tonight, he was an angel and he minded well.
It was still a great experience with the group to sit on cushions on tatami mats and have the hot cloth to wipe our hands or our kids faces.
Don't let this smile fool you. He's a devil in disguise right now. ;)
There's nothing better than to end your meal by making your own cotton candy. Super scrumptious.
