I got my first check yesterday for my article I wrote for Today's Family. It just was so amazing that I got paid for my words; that someone really thought my written words meant something. I hope I can keep it going. It's a complete high! I promised the girls that I would take them out to the restaurant of their choice for dinner. They chose Red Robin. After a looonnnggg day of trying to at least unpack the kitchen and living room, we showered and headed off. The first problem was that we had to wait to get a table. That's NEVER a good idea with four kids. By the time we got to sit down I had been crawled on, jumped on, ran into, and whined at. Sometimes watching the girls interact with each other is like watching a basket full of puppies. Or a box of silk worms (the girls have been learning about silk worms in class). They are just everywhere. The girls and the silkworms. I was amazed at how much whining took place today. I really anticipated a nice day of unpacking and the girls playing without fear of my telling them to be quiet. That's the nice thing about this townhome. No need to have quiet feet on the floor because no one lives below us anymore. But the whines just kept on coming. They came all through dinner. The server forgot our chips and salsa so by the time dinner was brought out the girls had just had enough. At least dinner was delish. Brigid enjoyed the mac n cheese so much she licked the bowl. Megan ate her entire burger. Caroline and Abby ate like birds. The usual. Here are some pics of my crazy girls at dinner:
The crew at dinner. You can tell by the faces the kind of night I had. The top of Caroline's head is visible to the left just above the table. She would not hold still for any picture.
Proof that Caroline was at dinner
No Caroline put the balloon down!
Will you girls please hold still?
some pictures defy explanation
Ok Megan- Smile!
Hooray! Caroline's holding still!
