You know you’ve done good, when your kids proclaim its the Best Day Ever. Especially in the middle of a crowded restaurant during lunchtime. While Nana thinks I don’t take enough days off to spend with my kids, I do take vacation days and do fun things with them… just the three of us. And, as any mom of twins can tell you… it is very, very hard to take them out in public by yourself – sometimes you have to rely on strangers for help. This particular day, I decided to take the kids up North to our favorite Mexican restaurant. By myself.

Normally, this would be fine… but the twins are going through their “have to see every restroom in the tri-state area” phase. Thankfully, we go to this restaurant a lot, so when we were making our third trip to the bathroom, the waiter kept an eye on our stuff so we I didn’t have to keep lugging it with us.

The kids love this restaurant. I ate spicy Mexican all through my pregnancy and my kids were eating salsa and guacamole when they began eating solid foods. So, a trip to the Mexican place is no big thing for them. They love the food. So, when I said we were going there to eat, the kids got so excited.
