The Newman Cafe

Last week it rained, which meant no going outside. So I used the opportunity to do something I had been wanting to do with the kids for a long time. They LOVE to play restaurant with their play food in the basement, so we set up our very own "Newman Cafe" for Daddy. It was pretty hilarious because they took it sooooo seriously.

First we made the menu...


and our official sign to tell Daddy where he had come...


then my little chefs started to cook...


and then we decided who would do what and practiced what they were going to say...

and we waited for daddy...

and we practiced...

and we waited...

for what seemed like FOREVER...

then finally we finally heard the garage door!


After Tate took Daddy's drink order Avery asked if he'd like a salad and even remembered to ask what kind of dressing (bleu cheese, of course!)


Tate took the order for the main course and dessert and then we enjoyed supper together...
Newman, party of 5...

The food was fantastic, the service was first class and the clean up crew wasn't bad either...

After it was all done, I was going to throw away the menu that had gotten dirty and Tate screamed "No! We need that for next time!" I explained that we could print a new one. It was so so fun and none of us can wait to visit The Newman Cafe again. In the meantime the head chef would like a night off. Ha!
