So……my sister, her hubby, my hubby & our kids went out for dinner on Saturday night.
Out to a buffet…..where all the kids can eat what they want.
The best part about it is, if they try something they don’t like-it’s an easy trip back up to the buffet for something else!
(Don’t think for a minute, though, that we aren’t those mean parents that make our kids eat their veggies, though! We are! Ha!)

Both for the kids & for us!

But, every once in a while-like Saturday night-you just feel SOOOO proud of your kids!
(& yeah, we have pointed it out to them several times!)

Hi to your sisters!
Pam
It's good to hear that Ruthie can stay in her booster seat at a restaurant.
Ha, ha, Brad!
She has been known to have a bit of trouble with that, hasn't she???
Awesome - I bet you are so proud of your kiddos! Thanks for joining our meme this week.
