Ugh. I was foolish enough to declare today Taco Tuesday before realizing that I am too stinking tired to put that much effort into making dinner. I tried to convince the boys that Mommy Mac was a better dinner choice, but they aren't having it. My sweet Addie was willing to go for the macaroni, but the boys are revolting.
So, apparently I either make the tacos or listen to the boys cry over the Taco Tuesday Fake Out for the rest of the evening. Decisions, decisions. They've already started the whining, and I really don't know that I could listen to it much longer.
Goodness. It's like they expect me to put a meal on the table three times a day or something. (Be careful, or a little sarcasm might drip down onto your keyboard.) I guess I'll haul myself into the kitchen and pretend to be domestically gifted. Wish me luck.

Dinner
Thursday evenings are especially busy in our house, with two of the three kids having dance class after school. Trying to get everyone fed and in bed on time can be a challenge.
Enter "Kids Eat Free" night at Earth Fare.
Seriously, this is one of the best deals that I've found. Eating out can be expensive for a family of five, but Earth Fare offers free kids' meals with each adult dinner purchase of just $5. How amazing is that?!? The food is terrific, kid friendly, and consists of great choices. There is something for everyone on the menu. Tonight, the five of us ate for $22; it could have been even less, but we allowed the kids to choose root beer and lemonade (the kids' meals include water, but not the other choices) and Mark enjoyed a huge salad from their awesome salad bar with his tasty sandwich (my meal, pizza and salad, was only $5!!).
So, a crazy busy night (this is picture week at dance) was made a little less stressful because we ate out and didn't have to spend a ton of money (typically, a meal out, even at a quick serve place, is anywhere from $25-35!). Everyone has full bellies and is now ready for bed...whether they like it or not!
