Lunch with the Easter Bunny

Yup. We had lunch with the bunny. It was awesome, especially for Nick. Henry was a bit confused by the giant furry white rabbit. He tried to give him a lemon wedge.

Since Greg started working on Saturdays, I've been getting used to taking the boys on outings by myself. Sometimes we're successful, other days everyone (myself included) ends up in tears. Today ended up being pretty fun. I took the boys to Downtown Plainfield for their Eggstraordinary day of fun. We started with an early lunch at Bin 48, a restaurant/wine bar. I'd heard they were having "Lunch with the Easter Bunny." Even though we didn't have a reservation, they squeezed us in.

The food was pretty good. I'm sure their wine would've been nice, but it was just before noon and I thought it was a bit early to imbibe. I ordered a fancy grilled cheese sandwich with tomato basil soup.

It was pretty yummy. Henry and I both loved it. He especially loved chewing on the crusts. The waitress also brought him some crackers to smush around.

Nick started out being afraid of the bunny, and ended up dancing with him.

This was a very persistent bunny. Nick was so shy with him at first, so the bunny played peekaboo with him. Nick loved his lunch today because every five minutes or so, that bunny peeked in to see him. I was really happy with the experience. I liked the restaurant, too. 

Lunch with Aunt Mandy

Last Thursday, Nick and Henry and I took Aunt Mandy out to lunch at Sweet Tomatoes, a really yummy salad bar buffet restaurant. I had the biggest spinach salad for a meal, and definitely got my veggie requirements for the day. It was a nice, healthy meal, but the best part was that I got to go use the washroom by myself. That is a luxury nowadays.

Nick's favorite part was the soft serve frozen yogurt. It was dark chocolate, and pretty yummy. Check out Nick's chocolate goatee.

Henry didn't get any salad, but he didn't seem to mind. I guess he liked his lunch of. . . milk.

Henry was happy to have the chance to wear his new shoes. They finally fit him, though they're still a tad bit big.

After lunch, we went to the pet store to see the animals. Nick was overly excited about every single animal. He couldn't however, control his volume. We'll have to work on that.

Nick wanted a hermit crab, but we told him no. Somehow I think my cats would not be cool with hermit crabs in the house.
