Beyond Full

David and I just got back from a double date with a wonderful couple that he used to work with. We went to Fogo de Chao, and we are stuffed. Not only did we enjoy the salad bar and the sides of mashed potatoes and fried polenta, but we also had our fair share of meat, meat, and more meat.

If you have never been to a Brazillian grill, you HAVE GOT TO GO and experience it. There are many, many different kinds of meat coming at you all of the time. And you get to say "yes" or "no" as often as you want to.

My favorite tonight was the filet mignon. Yummy!! David and I also shared a bottle of wine and a Brazillian margarita. Oh--and all 4 of us shared dessert. My personal favorite was the molten chocolate lava cake.

Now I'm going to go and slip into my meat coma. I'll be back tomorrow!

We Don't Take Plants to Restaurants

Whenever we go anywhere (anywhere) we ask Reagan what he'd like to take in the car with him. If it is a small item (cars, small plastic animals, HEBuddy "eggs") it can also go inside whatever destination we are headed for. Tonight was no different as we were headed out to eat. Except for one little thing...

Me: What do you want to take with you?

Reagan: My new itty bitty McQueen.

M: Ok! Let's go!

R: No. I want to take my pink van.

M: Ok. Let's go get it. (It is in his room.)

We walk past his dresser (see picture).

R: Ooooh! Let's take my cactus.

M: No. The cactus is too messy. Remember how you got dirt in Daddy's car when we first bought the cactus?

R: OOOOHHHHH! Let's take the lizard plant. It doesn't have dirt. (which it doesn't)

M: Reagan...we don't take plants to restaurants.

D: (from the kitchen) That should be your blog title tonight!

Tug-O-War

This might be fun to watch for family members. If not, it is fun for us to have documented...

Daddy doesn't want to play tug.

Elton might want to play tug.

Abby always wants to play tug! (And so does Reagan!!!!!!)

All Alone

Reagan's school is having Dads-n-Donuts as I write this. The two (David and Reagan, of course) of them have been gone for an hour now. It started at 7pm, so I'm sure they'll be home really soon. Because, really. How long can you eat donuts with a bunch of pre-schoolers?

I have about decided that Dad'\s-n-Donuts is NOT about having the kids spend some time with their dads. Nope. Right now I'm imagining 45 or so other mothers enjoying this hour doing whatever it is they want to be doing. It just makes me want to go "Aaahhh...". I feel like the entire city of Round Rock is just a bit more relaxed. All because of Treasure Patch Kids and their donuts.

As for what I wanted to do? Absolutely nothing. With a glass of wine in my hand. What I actually did was clean the master bathroom. And now I have a glass of wine in my hand (which now strongly smells of disinfectant~~my hand, not the wine).

Say it with me... Aaaahhh!

Um, Movie Tuesday

Well, Movie Monday just slipped right past me yesterday.

Just a Few Years Late

Last night's Super Bowl game was the 2nd most watched TV show in history coming in behind the series finale of M.A.S.H. I hear this alot--M.A.S.H. was the most watched TV episode. And I've seen most of the shows that are compared to that series finale.

But I have NOT seen the last M.A.S.H.

I know that M.A.S.H. was a favorite show in my house...my parents loved it. But I hated the nights that it was on. I guess I was just too young to "get it".

I wonder if it would be different now? I mean, I grew to like Cheers (another one of my parents faves). I even like The Golden Girls now. I think I did back in the 80's, too.

So maybe in this age of DVD's and Netflix, David and I should start watching the entire of series of M.A.S.H. It must have been good to have the number 1 spot now and for so many years.

Maybe I'll jump on the bandwagon that was rolling by 25 years ago and start watching a "new" show. I mean, there isn't anything else coming on with the writers strike and all. A person can watch only so much realty tv.
