Wednesday we had our very first experience eating out since we have been back from Vietnam. It was a sure sign that we will stay home for dinner from now on...
We walked into Quizno's and got in line just like any other day. We ordered food for each of us...and as we waited for it Aiden started having a conniption over chips. He wanted them and wanted them now... I explained that he needed to eat his sandwich before he was allowed to have chips. And after a minor fit, he was fine. We all sat down at the table. Aiden had his sandwich as did mommy and daddy. Liam had soup, but we were waiting for it to cool. Mommy and daddy started eating, but Aiden just stared at his sandwich. The moment we started to give Liam soup, Aiden decided that he wanted soup. There was plenty to share, so we got a separate bowl so that both boys could have some. The only problem was that they only had the large soup spoons (not standard tea spoons). Aiden started to eat, but because of the size of the spoon, he was wearing much more than actually made it into his mouth. Liam on the other hand wanted nothing to do with the soup and was spitting it out faster than we could get it in. Neither of us had actually taken more than 2 bites of our lunch. So we finally give up on the fact that Liam is going to eat the soup. And mommy starts feeding Aiden herself. Things are starting to calm down... But then Liam decides he wants everything on the table. He starts reaching out and pulling things off the table and throwing them on the floor. UGH!
Then it started to occur to me that our family is now only suited for McDonalds. We are one of those families that people avoid sitting next to in the restaurant. The ones that they whisper quietly to each other about how unruly our children are. Just then things start to settle down some, and we finally get to eat our meal. I ran out of soda and went up to get a refill, while mommy is cleaning Liam up. As I am filling my soda, the clerk says "Sir, you might want to check on your son.” I turn around to find Aiden with his pants down around his ankles (diaper too), playing with his wee wee. I can't believe this is happening. So I say "Aiden, stop that." He starts to shuffle across the floor toward me (pants and diaper still around his ankles), and he says "Sorry Daddy, Sorry!”
What a hilarious and humiliating moment. We quickly cleaned up our mess and got out of there was fast as we could. Hopefully we will never see any of those people again!

OH my word!!! I can NOT believe you have already had profesisonaly pictures done. And the story about eating out cracks me up. It DOES get better- I promise! (And if anyone is whispering- they're only whispering about what handsome boys you have!)
What adorable brothers! :) They both look so handsome! I'm SO sorry you had an unfortunate dining experience...although I about fell out of my seat with laughter! What a great story that will be for them when they're older!

The pictures are so adorable. I just laughed so hard about the Quizno's story. In fact, I can't stop laughing. It can only get easier, right?
I guess lunch after playgroup is out from now on??? The boys are adorable and I can't wait to see them again!

All you can do is laugh, because if you don't you might cry. And thankfully, McDonald's doesn't need reservations. On a side note, I *love* the pictures, they are great.
I had forwarded your website's address to a friend of mine - who read the Quizno's story before I had a chance too. She's been after me to get on-line to read it - she says this as she's cracking up. She wouldn't give me a hint as to what was so funny. I'm glad she let me find out for myself...there's no way she could have described it to be as funny as how you captured it. What an hiliarious and memorable moment. Of course, Aiden is NOT going to want you to tell this story once he's older - he'll be so embarrassed. What an hilarious experience. Poor mommy and daddy - this is just the start of many more adventures of the Davis boys! Love ya, Diana P.S. Keep the stories coming - they are a bright spot in my day.
