Picky & Picky, Eat Out

How I got 2 picky children I will never know! If it's not a brussel sprout I will pretty much try it at least once. Both of my boys are exceptionally picky. We are somewhat lucky in that there are certain places that we can pick up food from while we are out and about but we are not able to go out to eat at one place and all enjoy a meal together.

This past weekend we decided to go to the mall to keep cool on the 100 degree day and we wanted to eat together with my sisters and their kids, at the food court. I started to pack things for my boys to eat and then at the last second decided that I was going to try to get them lunch out. My little one decided he wanted Mcd's chicken nuggets which was perfect because the drive thru is directly across from the mall. At the food court they have a Sbarro's Pizza that my older son has always rejected but since he has started branching out with pizza brands I decided to order his lunch there.

We sat down at the table with our family and I was about to jump for joy when I realized that this was going to be a successful lunch. Two boys ate two meals out and enjoyed every bite! Such a little thing to some but such a huge and wonderful thing to this mommy!

Donuts and Sunshine

It's a scorcher here today that is for sure! My boys spent the morning in the air conditioned house with their dad and then their big cousins invited them out for a Dunkin Donut run! My boys aren't head over heels for donuts but they do love being with their cousins so we tagged along. We brought our own candy topped brownie for my little boy and for big brother we chose a sprinkle topped donut as he only likes the frosting! We have picky boys in this house but luckily we make it work. After the little snack stop we all came back to the house to cool off on the blow up water slide. The perfect 90 degree Sunday afternoon!
