So, we decided to have a treat tonight and head out to Red Lobster for some shrimp, and then to Barnes & Noble for some shopping. As we were sitting at Red Lobster Riley leaned right up next to me and whispered, "Mommy, it's probably not really true... but you never know... but it might not be... but doesn't that man look like Santa Claus!?" And sure enough I looked across the room to where Riley was very discretely pointing and the man DID look like Santa Claus! When our waitress got back we asked her whether she knew if that man was Santa or not. She had her friend who was waiting on his table ask him and then came back to report that he wasn't Santa, but he was one of Santa's Helpers who was out and about checking on how kids were behaving so he could let Santa know. Well, it just so happens that both of my boys were being total angels tonight - so a good report is going to Santa!! (= Riley was so excited that he called Nenny and Nonn and told them all about it. (we got a photo on my phone of Santa's Helper from across the restaurant, it's hard to see him in the camera photo, but he is in the booth in the corner)
After dinner we headed to BN and had a good time picking out some books. Then we all came home, snuggled up and the boys are now fast asleep. What a great start to the weekend! (=
