Sunny & in the 80's today :-)

My mom treated the kids and I to lunch at Governor's today. Governor's is celebrating it's 50th birthday this month, so the kids' meals were $.50 each and we got free birthday cake with our meals. We didn't know about the $.50 meals, so that was a pleasant surprise! My mom and I used to take Zoe and Emily to Governor's a lot for lunch when they were young, but as they got older and more siblings joined our family, our lunch dates stopped. We had a favorite waitress, Kathy, who still works there, so we made sure she was our waitress today. It was fun to see her! My mom and I are planning on more lunch dates this upcoming school year now that Kate and Noah will be the only 2 at home. :-)

Zoe got her hair cut this afternoon. It is now a little above her shoulders and she loves it!

Our family is scattered this evening. Matt is at MAN vs. RIVER, Zoe and Emily are staying with Caitlin & Cassidy, Zach, Kate, and Noah are staying with my mom, and Eleanor and I are home. Eleanor has been asking for a one on one time, since she had birthday money to spend, so tonight her wish came true. She spent her money at Walmart, we ate dinner at McDonald's and then she played in the outdoor play area there, then we came home to watch "G-Force" on Netflix. We have had a fun evening!

Whatever creature is around here broke my hummingbird feeder last night, so I bought a new one today. I guess I should start bringing the feeder in at night or find a new spot for the feeder. A new spot will be the answer for when we are in Utah.

Those poor middle children are missing out again.

I'm glad you had a fun lunch out and a sunny day! It always makes me laugh to hear Matt's titles for things - MAN VS. RIVER. I can hear him saying that. Camp Bravo. Etc. He is so funny. It sounds like you and Eleanor had a great time, I'm sure she loved every minute!!
