Kid's Night

Last night, Aidan quietly asked me (as I was tucking him into bed) if we could go to Chick-Fil-A tonight and see the cow. I told him I would talk to Daddy about it and we would see. I spoke to Chris about it, and then I remembered that Tuesdays are kid's night at CFA on 124 in Snellville. Katie has ballet on Tuesday evenings in Grayson, so that worked out well.

Katie's ballet practice went well, and while she was there, we washed the van and got Chris a haircut. We picked Katie up and went to CFA. Aidan was beaming as we walked inside! It was really crowded, so we had Katie and Aidan sit in a booth while we ordered. One of the girls from Katie's Girl Scout troop was there as well, so Katie talked to her friend while we waited. On kid's night, you get one free 4 piece kid's meal with an adult meal purchase, so Aidan and Noah got the free meals and we paid for Katie's. Unfortunately, we didn't see the cow at first, but Aidan was ok. We had told the kids that they had to eat within a half hour because Chris had another surprise for them. They had hoped to exchange their prizes for ice cream, but we didn't have time. As we finished up dinner, the cow appeared! Aidan ran up to him and gave him a high five! This is a huge deal because Aidan has always been terrified of costumed characters, but he loves the CFA cow!

After CFA, Chris drove to the dollar theater. We have taken the kids to the regular theater, but Noah just cannot sit still enough during a movie yet. He likes to talk halfway through, and we feel guilty with other people in the theater. Anyway, Chris was wanting to see "Despicable Me", and Noah was free to the movie, so it was a great deal! The kids loved it! It was actually a really cute movie with a good message in it. Naturally, Noah decided to talk midway through the movie, but he did eventually calm down.

Overall, it was a good night with the family. We don't often go out for a night out, especially on a weekday, but the kids had fun, as did the parents!
