Burgers and Fries

Handsome Face's fever finally broke today. Four days of fever is too much after months of being sick already. He's still cranky but we take what we can get.
After a long few days we were all ready to get out of the house this evening. So when the Rocket Scientist came home we went to a 50s style diner for dinner. The kids were blissfully well-behaved and Cute Girl even ate well. I love small, local businesses because everyone is so kind. The owner brought the kids balloons - and then replaced them twice as the helium escaped from one and two made their way to the ceiling. And none of the waiters glared at my kids as they stood in the middle of the aisles, blocking the transport of food laden trays. When we got home we made quick of the bedtime routine. Or at least it was as quick as two kiddies playing with a balloon can be. Handsome Face had a blast pulling the string and making the pink sphere bob all over Cute Girl's room.
All in all it was a nice night.

How fun. I am amazed at how entertaining balloons are for little kids. And they are cheap, too which is always great. :)

That is nice to go to a place where everyone treats you so nice. Like normal humans do for each other:)
