Phipps Feeding Fiasco

The experience
So first off, if you read this one once before it was different.  Its not a trick.  Grace had written this the first time but then our server went down and we lost it.  So here is my version.  Mina was out late with my parents on her usual Wednesday night so when Mina [...]

The experience
Where to tonight??  We waited for Mina to get home from her regularly scheduled Wednesday night date with Grandpoo and Oma and then headed out for the rest of Team Phipps to eat.  I mentioned a few places to Ogre earlier to night and he had no recollection of that.  So, there we sat [...]

The experience
Right before dinner, I received a page that I’d be expecting an admission at the hospital, so we’d have to take separate cars and plan for somewhere en route to down town.  I gave Ogre a couple of choices and we decided that the kids would probably like BBQ the best, so we decided [...]

The experience
It’s a slippery slope, my friends.  The suggestion by Ogre’s best friend, Dusty, was to go to Pei Wei…his treat, he received a $50 gift card for Christmas.  Ogre’s argument, Mina and I went to PF Chang’s.  Now, I am not going to deny my sweet little girl a restaurant because it’s chain-y.  I [...]

The experience
We headed out with no destination again tonight.  I am working downtown this week, which means I leave for work at 6:15, which means I like to get to bed early, which means we have to eat dinner early or quickly, preferably both.  Well, we didn’t head out of the house until 6:30 and [...]

The experience
I have a thing against eating sandwiches at any time other than at lunch.  So, if we are ever going to blog about a sandwich joint, we’d have to do it at lunch.  Today was that day.  Actually, we had a few other choices we considered including Freebirds, which I suspect Ogre was secretly [...]

The experience
Tonight Mina was going to be part of Las Posadas at church.  She was going to be playing the bells and singing Joy To The World.  She’d be going to church with Oma and Grandpoo for some time practicing. We panned to eat somewhere all together after.  Mina and Oma did an excellent job. [...]

The experience
On this chilly evening, we needed to head to Target so Mina could buy herself a new pair of shoes to replace the new ones I bought her.  She ruined the other day and felt bad about it.  She has made enough money selling her pies on sweetmina.com that she had extra after buying [...]

The Experience
Today, I would be babysitting Benji all day so I figured I’d get the meal out of the way early.  So while out running errands in Garland, I called to see if Grace would be available for lunch.  No.  So I had to decide quick on a place.  I just happened to be passing [...]

The experience
Ogre was complaining to me that he was hungry at 4:45 when we were checking out at Wal-Mart.  At 4:45 we headed to dinner, but first we had to pick up Mina at school, then we had to get the camera from home, and next it was to Lolo’s house to pick up Benji.  We [...]
