Last week we went out to dinner more than normal and not because my kids behave, (they absolutely do not) but because a midweek dinner outing is truly such a treat for my husband and I, that we’ll willingly endure the chaos in exchange for a break on dishes and a change of scenery. And just so we’re clear, In N Out absolutely counts as ‘going out to dinner’. 😉
