Resturants and children

I just read the funniest post from a fellwo blogger. The name of her blog is Buried with Children. See link here.

She is a mom of triplets and a singleton. She was saying how she has trained her children how to act in a resturant and if you never take them to resturants then they will never know. Well, we don't ever go to resturants b/c of what had happened the few times we have take them. So Friday was my husband's birthday, 9/15 and we went to Fridays. We figured since Friday's is NOT a quiet resturant if they were loud it'll be okay. Well it wasn't the fact of them making a lot of noise or crying it was CHASE throwing things! He threw a napkin over the booth to another girls plate, it was horrible. He did it soo fast we couldn't stop him! He just wouldn't sit still. I was really impressed with Preston. AND no the crayons and paper did NOT hold their attention all but 3 minutes. The games on my phone pretty much kept Preston's, but Chase could care less.

Anyways, what I think I am going to do now is take them to a resturant every Friday night and TRAIN them on how we act while there. Otherwise, we will never be able to go to resturants b/c they won't know any better...

Someone commented saying they take their kids to Mexican resturants b/c of the chips ans salsa. My kids have never had salsa, but I think it's time to expose them to it! That might keep them occupied till food comes, but what will they eat? A fajita? LOL!

Any ideas of good kid resturants/loud ones to get your kids accustomed to how to act? I'm determined to get them to sit down and keep themselves busy.

In another note, I ran 2 miles on the treadmill at lunch today work. Now for my 4 miles on Saturday. :) On the road to my Half!

where do i begin

Oh gosh, it's been so long since I've blogged.
Hmm... What's been going on?
1) I'm actually training for the half marathon in december. YAY! Started this week.
2) Work is busy because I have a new manager and i'm like training him?
3) I'm heading off to Germany with my sisters for our bi annual sister trip. Minus one sister.
4) Kids continually keep me busy and puzzle me. Preston has a rash on his leg that we can't figure out what's up. Changing Pediatricians finally, MINE is just horrible.

That's what's going on in a nutshell.

Every day on the way to work, I see a plan either landing or taking off from DFW Int'l airport and I just imagine that being me in 24 days!! YES! I am counting down!! :)

There was so much I wanted to blog about, but I forgot now. :(

Goodnight everyone. Wait not one reads! LOL! :)
