The Best Cook in the Whole Wide World

We picked up Tim last night at the airport. The girls were soooooo excited! You can't park, unless you want to pay, so we decided to go around the circle until we saw him standing there. The girls loved this! They counted 6 times we went around, then there he was! Emma said she was hoping we didn't have to count to 50, lol. Tim and I had decided we were going to do something for Valentine's Day when he got back, so my idea was to take the girls out to Shogun and sit at the Hibachi grill :) Emma had came home from school one day and said, Ashley, (a friend of hers) had went to a place where they cook the food right on your table and the cook throws it in your mouth. I finally figured out she meant a Hibachi grill! Ever since she has been really wanting to go. I'm sad to say I didn't get any pictures, but we all had a blast! Emma expressed to the cook she wanted NO food to be thrown her way, but instead she drew him a great picture of a cook with a chef hat on and throwing eggs up in the air. Ava made sure to tell him he was the best cook in the whole wide world...that child LOVES rice! The server had their chopsticks all fixed up so that they could actually use them. He brought umbrellas and cherries in their drinks. We sat and watched the HUGE fish for a little on the way out. Ava loved this! But I'm tellin' you those fish are crazy! They come right up to you and open their mouth. I thought this was really creepy, but Ava just stuck her finger down there and was willing to let them take a nibble (if I hadn't had stopped her, lol). Overall, it was a wonderful time! :) It makes me so happy to spend time with my beautiful family.


In knitting news, my friend, Sonya, had a blog contest going on and I actually won 3rd place! Thanks to her lovely children for creating a third place. I think she only planned on having one winner, lol. But, I am so happy to have won 3rd. I can't wait to see the goody I'll receive! :) I am debating my next project right now. I think I may be going for a light Spring sweater for myself or trying to master those terrible (actually wonderful) lace socks that I couldn't figure out! Wish me luck, I'm sure I'll need it to achieve either of those projects!
