Friday Night Fun...
We had a ton of fun with the family tonight. David knows I love going out on Friday nights so earlier today he offered to take me shopping. Yippee!
So after he was done working it was off to the mall we went. I like to just walk around and look at stuff, this is something the David is not really into...he likes to shop and actually buy stuff. I do also like to buy stuff but I don't NEED to all the time.
We let the kids play on the coin operated vehicles for a bit, sugared them up with some candy out of the gumball machines, and then turned them loose in Build-A-Bear and said they couldn't get anything!! LOL They were really good about it and I was impressed since they usually bug bug bug to buy buy buy!! We did have them pick out their favorite animal just so we know for future reference.
We walked around a bit more and then headed across town to find a place to eat that didn't have a line to wait. Neither of us like waiting with three little ones in tow. We ended up at Ruby Tuesday and after having really poor and very slow service we figured this must be the norm for that particular restaurant and the reason why there wasn't a line....people know NOT to go there. :(
After dinner I needed to pick up some fabric for a new customer request so we went to Hobby Lobby. This is one of my FAV stores....they have so much great stuff and usually there are some really good sales...tonight was no exception. I picked up the fabric I needed and then totally scored on scrapbook supplies at 50% off! :) David even picked out some pictures for his office that were half off.
By this point it has already been a long day and long night out and the kids were super good the whole time so we took them for a special treat at Coldstone. This was a first for all of us and a last. Don't get me wrong it was good but not $20 good. That was way too much to pay for 5 little bowls of ice cream...oh well...it was the special time together that counted the most.
We are now home and the kids decided tonight would be the night for a camp out in mom and dad's room so they are all scattered about and sleeping; dreaming about a fun day at the zoo tomorrow...oh and don't forget the fair....we are going there too! My husband rocks!

Mashed Califlower....
Is delicious! Yum!
Pretty easy too:
Steam florets until soft and blend until smooth with food processor, add a nob of butter and a glug of cream....salt and pepper to taste!
We had these for dinner last night and everyone loved them. I had them this morning too with my scrambled eggs and added a bit of freshly grated parmesan cheese....even more delish!
