Phipps Feeding Fiasco

The experience
I picked up the kids from my parents and drove to our house to get Ogre.  Apparently, Dusty also wanted to eat dinner with us, which I never have a problem with, but always presents a quandary because he is NOT an adventuresome eater (translation: he only likes to eat burgers, pizza, salmon, maybe [...]

The experience
 Benji awoke and seemed to be in very good spirits after his evening of fever and vomiting.  We decided we’d trek out for lunch and after some initial indecision, Ogre made the command decision to try Boston Market (which Mina used to think was Steak and Shake because they both have the black and [...]

The experience
We were very fortunate to have our very good friends in Dallas for a morning class.  We met mid afternoon in Allen at Celebration Park intending to let the kids play in the splashpark.  The kids mainly stuck to to the playground instead.  After a couple of hours there, we headed back to our [...]

The experience
After Ogre came back empty handed after going to pick up Mina, we remembered that it was Wednesday, which is the evening she spends with Grandpoo and Oma.  Now, we need to rush a little bit to get dinner in before she got home.  Ogre wanted to get a sandwich.  I normally do not [...]

The experience
Benjamin fell asleep again right as dinner time rolled around, so we opted to leave him sleeping at Lala’s house while we ate dinner.  I have been wanting to got the Rose Tattoo Grille and Wine restaurant for some time.  I’ve been there a couple of times with my business partner and her husband [...]

The experience
Today I had a day off with no commitments, appointments or anything else that I had to do, so I thought we should go out to breakfast.  Unfortunately, pickings are getting VERY slim for breakfast choices that we haven’t eaten at already this year!  The only restaurant that I could think of that serves [...]

The experience
Another day, another restaurant.  I actually suggested eating at the Pho restaurant on Spring Creek tonight.  Well, turns out there is no Pho restaurant in Spring Creek (near 75).  Old sign, I guess.  Our back up plan was go to TGI Friday’s.  I was actually thinking about the one in Firewheel, but then remembered [...]

The experience
One of my friends from high school contacted me and I was able to get a hold of her after I finished rounding.  Just like that we made lunch plans.  Thank goodness it was cool with Ogre ’cause I’d already made plans with a place and time for lunch in a couple of hours.  [...]

The experience
Today we went to Parent-Teacher Conference at Mina’s school and found that Mina did very well excelling in all of her subjects.  We though we would treat her to pizza, which we know is a favorite of hers.  I called my dad’s house to see if Benji was awake and I assumed that he [...]
