Every mama knows that it can be tricky taking kids out to dinner. Kids are unpredictable; you can never be sure that things will go well. Now to be fair to Ryan and Evan, we always get compliments whenever we take them out to eat. People tell us how well behaved they are, and often they are impressed that they didn't even realize toddlers were sitting at the table right behind them. Never mind they fact that before we made it into the restaurant there may have been a screaming match going on or shoes being hurled between the two of them! I guess what really matters is that these two know how to turn on the charm in public.
Still, sometimes I'd just rather stay at home. After a long work week, lately I've just been wanting to come home, put on my sweats and fuzzy socks and curl up in front of the TV. I'm glad we decided to take the kids out for Hibachi a couple of weeks ago, though. It was the best night! You know the kind of night when everything just falls in place and you have fun? That's what this night was like. It was the boys' first time having Hibachi and they had a blast! I was worried that they'd be afraid of the infamous fire, but they surprised me. We had good food (way too much of it!), good conversation, and good company!
Rice, noodles, and "trimp"...my boys are all in!
Umm...using chopsticks?! This one will try anything.
I think somebody ate too much!

ReplyDeleteLooks like a family fun time. Ryan look to be stuffed. Evan using the chop sticks, how great. Even I am not good with chop sticks. This three year old is really eating with them.
