Our Adventure out to Eat

 
 
We ventured out with some friends of ours to a local Chinese Buffet. We were the star attraction there. Actually, anywhere we go with three one-year olds, we are the main attraction walking in. This time we stood out a little more. I dressed all the kids in their t-shirts we bought in China that had in Chinese the words for Big Brother, Little Brother and Little Sister written on them. The host and waitresses loved the shirts and called them all by the name in Chinese. We are the family that restaurants fear will show up. For one, we have three that throw food on the floor and make lots of messes. Two, don't advertise to us that under age of 6 eat free. Then, on the same coupon, buy three adults get one free. Well, our family of 6 ate for the price of one adult buffet (we had three other adults in the party). I think Nate, Andrew and Madelyn stuffed themselves with noodles and mandarin oranges. Logan didn't eat that much but he did gobble down dessert. I think Tony and I were just excited we had other adults to talk to at dinner for once and the kids were entertained by the food and our company.

Madelyn was diagnosed with a sinus infection prior to our meal. It's probably a result of having the ear tubes put in so she's on a high dose of antibiotics. I hope in a few days we may start seeing what Madelyn really looks like without snot pouring down her face.
