Do you restaurant?

*shudders* uck , yum cha, more like yuck cha ,im sorry but im just uncultured i guess

We take Caprece all the time and used to take Jack but try not to at the moment (unless there is a playground) as he just runs around so its hard for us and not really fair on the rest of the restaurant. Buffet places are a wee bit easier since theres no wait for food but we will probably leave it until hes a bit older.

We probably eat out or go out for coffee most weekends and Caleb loves it. He sits up in his pram smiling at everyone and generally gets made a big fuss of everywhere we go. We usually go for cafe type places (Coffee club is our current favourite) or ethnic restaurants because they are fairly accommodating.

We haven't done this, every time we've thought about it, we've then been like nah we haven't been out just on our own for a while so let's do that! LOL but our intentions are there for someday...

We've done a few wedding receptions though, with kids (in the family), took along some Fisher Price Little People they are great for on a table/high chair top to play with quietly - unless they are at the banging stage! Snacks are great for receptions too. We went to a reception once at 6pm and they started with speeches!!!! Entree was at 8.30. It was horrible, Hannah was 22mos and Briona 3mos and both were beside themselves with how late it was. It was out of town and family so we couldn't get a sitter - and B was bf. Whoops back to topic...

We want to try Breakers as well. I had intended to take the girls for Lunch during the holidays but they were so busy with friends we never got around to it.
Anyway we have always done restaurants with the girls but only casual ones. Places like Tonys are good they have kids meals and fun drinks. (But if we are going somewhere nice we like to go alone). When I was working we used to go out for breakfast every Sunday so they got used to behaving properly in a more relaxed atmosphere.
My biggest problem with taking the girls is that Natasha is so fussy I hate to have to pay for food she just wont eat, so we tend to go places where she likes the food.

oooh i love the tea....and i love yum cha...but tell you what you get totally different food when you go with an asian friend or two....and it is mega cheap for soooo much food...you feel like a piggy there and yet you come out feeling ok not bloated....

nearly forgot - we took ella to cock n bull too - child friendly early evenings!!!

hope they are just as friendly in nelson at restaurants we are going to unleash ella on!!

We'll take Gina with us when we are out for lunch - cafe, pub, food court etc. She's well behaved and likes to share some of our food.
When we go out in the evening, we tend to leave her with family so we can enjoy time on our own
