This burger joint

With Stephen taking night classes and studying on his nights home, this mom gets a little stir crazy. I have decided to take the kids out for lunch/dinner once a week for....well, many reasons: weather is getting nice, kids need practice in restaurants, mom wants a treat too....

We picked a "burger joint" next to our house for our first trip out. It was so nice to get the kids excited about this outing and to not have to prepare dinner:). It was a great success too. Evie started her fun in the parking lot, jumping up on the curb and giggling, she has so much joy. The food was mediocre and we probably won't return, but as I said, it wasn't about the food.

She wanted to sit in a high chair too because she saw Cy's

Cy was more excited about the keys, but he behaved so well

she ate all her burger and then enjoyed her chocolate shake

We feel very lucky to have Stephen working so hard for our family, and we are so proud of how great he is doing in Grad School. We still miss him though, so it is nice to have a distraction on evenings we won't see him for dinner. I feel "uber" blessed to have two amazing (and beautiful) kids to spend my time with!
