Bad Mommy!

I know I missed the mark and didn't get photos of the 10 year old's nor the 8 year old's birthday dinner. The best I can do now is sum them up for you. Jael chose to go to Azteca, a Mexican restaurant. The food is good and the guacamole is amazing. The waiters know us there and brought the kids each a glass of juice (mango-strawberry maybe, I'm not sure) on the house and they are very attentive. But the REAL reason she chose this restaurant is because a couple doors down is the gelatino store. There Daddy and the kids get free samples before they choose a flavor and get a scoop in a cone or cup. What more could a kid want in a birthday dinner? Tekla chose to go to Texas Roadhouse for steak. Yes, they did the line dancing, but it was interrupted by the call to prayer and they had to stop. Daddy and the kids shared 2 BIG steaks and Mommy had her special order chicken salad. Then we walked around the mall a little till we found the Cold Stone Creamery. Steak... ice cream.... One very happy Tekla...and Jael, and Saoirse, and Mordecai...okay, they were all very happy that night as they vibrated them selves to sleep.
