Family night out

Warning: these pics are really bad quality, they're from my phone and it was dark.
Darren has worked OT the last few nights, so we really wanted to spend an evening together. We decided to take the kids to see "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" and then had dinner at Jillian's. Chloe saw a preview for the movie about a month ago and freaked out. Not only does she love "wawas" but the dog's name was Chloe!! We haven't taken her to a movie in at least a year because she doesn't still for more than 2 min. So we were a little nervous bringing all 4! It went better than expected. I made 3 trips to the potty with the girls and Darren made 2 I think. The movie was pretty cute. Chloe was done sitting about 15 minutes before it ended. Cole was exhausted but he did really well considering. It was so nice not to be out in the hall the whole time like I usually am. That will happen again all too soon!


They had a kids menu, but not kids cups. I can't believe we made it without any spills!


We all have red eyes for Halloween!
Dinner was pretty good. The place was empty so there was only one waiter, which stunk towards the end when more customers came in. The kids were pretty well behaved also. We haven't taken them to a restaurant in a while either because it's just too much work usually. We better take advantage now while Cole is still little. The kids wanted to walk around the Fremont Experience, but it was getting close to bed time. Thankfully they all waited till on the way home for their exhaustion melt downs!! It really was a lot of fun though. I' m so grateful for these fun opportunities!

Looks like fun! I haven't ever even tried to take the boys to the movies, I guess I should have when they were a bit younger and would just sleep through it. Oh well.
Glad you guys got some fun family time out and about.
