Dinner For Two

One afternoon, Little R asked me not to come in the office. A little while later he asked if we could eat dinner upstairs. I wanted to say no because I could just see all the food scattered from the kitchen to the playroom table. But I said I'd think about it. Later I told him to ask Daddy. He said it was okay. After an hour and a half of secrecy and lots of trips from the kitchen, Daddy was home. Sweet Pea showed up all dressed and told us they were ready when we were. So I put on a dress and heals and she escorted us to the boys' room where the door was closed.

When she opened it, this is what we saw:

The room was decorated with streamers, and a sign that said, "You are The Best."

They had the table set for two with salad, name cards and menus. They served us leftover pasta, chips and pretzels and soda. Dessert was the best, though. All on their own, they made Starbucks Java Chip ice cream milkshakes!

They had their dinner in the office and checked on us from time to time to see how we were doing.

We gave them a nice big tip and told them it was the best restaurant we had ever eaten at.
