Out for Lunch

I spent all morning steam cleaning the carpet while the kids were confined to the dining room. With four kids and a dog, our carpet really takes a beating but it looks brand new again thanks to our Bissell. For it to look its best, you really need to stay off it until it is completely dry so I took the kids out. First we went to my gym so I could get some exercise and they love going to Kids Klub. Afterwards, since they were being so good, I told them that we could go out for lunch. They were so excited because we rarely do that. I picked Chick-fil-A because I love their chicken and they have healthy options on the kids menu plus a play area. It turned out to be a great experience. Noticing that I had my hands full with four littles ones, a kind employee carried our food to our table. While I was buckling Bowen into his high chair, she applied placemats in front of each kid so that they would have a clean eating surface. She checked on us throughout the meal to refill my drink and bring napkins and ketchup. It may not seem like much, but it was amazing to me. The kids loved their food and they had the choice to keep the toy that came with their kids meal, or they could exchange it (unopened) for an ice cream cone. Alexa and Gavin traded in their comic books without much thought! The play area was a big hit as well. They burned off a lot of energy playing hide-and-seek.
