March with Henry

Already the fourth week of March and time for Dinner with Henry.  For the first time, we just had dinner - no bowling or video games this time.  Henry promised that the dinner plus activities will be back but this time just dinner was good.

Even though we did not have an activity, Henry kept true to his theme of fun and we had dinner at IHOP.  Henry went with the Silver Five off the kids menu and I went with the Bacon Temptation Omelette (which of course also includes pancakes).  We were both stuffed by the time we were done and I have to admit neither of us made the "clean plate club" - it was more like the "oh am I stuffed and glad someone else will be doing my dishes club." 

The theme of the conversation tonight revolved around sports.  Henry likes basketball, football, soccer and baseball and does pretty darn good at all of them for a 3rd grader.  He also has become more of a fan of watching some of these sports and learning more about teams, players and game strategy.  Side note - Lisa always says that when she was pregnant with Henry, she prayed for a "sport-o" because she knows how much I like sports.  Her prayers were answered without a doubt :).  Second side note - as of right now - Henry is winning our NCAA Pool.

Dinner went by really fast and at the end Henry even commented "this went really fast".  That's when he let me know that dinner plus activity will be back soon - just plain dinner is just plain too fast.  I thank the Lord that he (and the other 3 kids) have this attitude versus the opposite!

Dinner = $16.00  Time with Henry = Priceless!
