Feed me Seymour...

It was A's birthday yesterday, he was 32. It was just another day for him really with an early start at Bootcamp, work and school drop off cos i was feeling a little blah.

I haven't even bought his present as yet, such a bad wife but this is what he is getting so i think all will be forgiven once it arrives.


For our first anniversary together, many moons ago i bought him the single cooks knife and its been brilliant, we always wanted the full set but couldn't justify the expensive price tag that was on it in the shops but i found it online for half the price so i decided to splurge and get him that!

He wanted to go to dinner with his family, but his family is slightly dysfunctional (which is a whole other post/whinge) but we did manage to organise a dinner at Hogs Breath with his parents and his one lovely, normal brother and his girlfriend, the food was nice but just reinforced to us how shitty it is taking kids out at nighttime!

Now being honest and not trying to sound all "my kids are perfect" (because they are so not) but generally i think our kids are pretty good kids, they are usually well behaved and listen and respond but put them in a busy restaurant situation with a sugar hit of juice and family members they don't see all that often well basically they just drive us nuts. On top of that Sofie was very not herself and couldn't settle which isn't surprising considering the noise level and bright lights happening and H and M both pulled the i need to go to the toilet routine just as our mains arrived.

Seriously does this happen to anyone else? Without fail when we are out they will need to go poop in the toilet, they don't need a toilet break when we are home having lunch so lord knows why they do when we are out, its so annoying and so predictable that its actually funny now. 

Anyhoo, we ate to much, i got my chocolate mud cake hit and the kids enjoyed it and we came home knackered and unfortunately have to do the whole thing again tonight for A's Nanna's birthday dinner, only a different restaurant and a later time. Gotta love, people organising family dinners for meeting at 7pm, so thoughtful of them to think of the young kids.

  1. We went out to Denny's for our anniversary dinner and took the kids. They behaved reasonably well, but I did have to take Kate to the restroom twice. Once was when the food arrived.
