I've gotta feeling....

We're going to do this more often.....
Tyler came in to town on Thursday, I left work a little early to pick him up from the airport then we headed over to my Parents to visit for a bit. We headed home to eat some lunch before it was time to pick the kids up from school. The kids were SOOOO excited to see their Dad. I had to hold back tears. I wish that was something I could have captured on video.
We had to rush home so we could get Shayna ready for Ballet, she only has a half hour to get home from school, eat something, change her clothes, pull her hair up into a bun and get to ballet on time. On Thursday's she gets out of Ballet at 5:00 then we go home and change into soccer clothes so she can get to practice by 6:00. After the busy day we decided we would go out to eat.
Britton has been asking us to take him to an Italian Restaurant. He wanted to try some pasta because it is so good for energy before a soccer game. He hates pasta and for years we have struggled trying to get him to eat it. We HATE going out to eat because the kids never eat their food, they always complain and it's a complete waste. UNTIL......

We took them to Olive Garden.

Britton ate two bread sticks, spaghetti and shrimp.

He has never been so full in his life. Haha! I was laughing so hard. I don't think he has ever known what a full tummy feels like.

Shayna ate a bread stick, salad and fettuccine Alfredo.


She ate most of her food too.


I couldn't believe it. We actually had a really good time eating out......that was a first! I think we will do that more often.
