You know when you are acutely aware that 4 kids is quite a few kids? When you take them all out to dinner for the first time.

That was our night last night.

This wasn’t just any old dinner out, though. THIS? This was family date night at McAlister’s Deli.

McAlister’s Deli is sponsoring this post.

We are not at a point in our life when regular (or even irregular) date nights happen- like, just Scott and me. These little monsters lovely children go everywhere with us. So last night was a bit of an early Valentines Day celebration, but with the whole family.

I know we’re not alone. All of you who have no chance of sneaking off for a romantic dinner for two on the 14th, HERE’S THE PLAN:

You, your love, your littles…. your little loves-

Why? Kids eat free on February 14th- up to 2 Kids Meals for every adult entree when families dine in!

Also, because McAlister’s is the kind of place with something on the menu that will make everyone- even the pickiest of toddlers- happy. Lowell devoured his mac & cheese, applesauce, graham crackers, and milk.

A place you can take your (rowdy and still mastering table manners) crew on Valentines Day, and you’ll be treated like family.

And maybe, just maybe, if the kids can easily find something they love on the menu, and if you don’t have to stress about asking them to stop pulling the tablecloth or sticking their finger in the candle, then you might have a shot at a fun, sweet Valentines Day dinner… no matter how many kids you bring with you.

Also? Their desserts are amazing.
What is Valentines Day without great dessert?

It’s pointless. The answer is Valentines Day is pointless without great dessert.

It’s also pretty pointless if you’re not sharing it with somebody, or all the bodies, that you love. So don’t give up on a Valentines Day date night. Just make it a

Then,  You can enter to win even if, say, your kids get the flu this weekend and you don’t get a chance to actually go to McAlister’s. I mean, I don’t wish that on any of you, but… we know it’s gonna happen to someone because KIDS.

Same Thing

A Panera Bread finally opened near us, which is HUGE because we are living in the land of fried chicken and burgers over here. I’m SO pumped for drive through salads and sandwiches.

So a couple days ago I suggested I’d drive through and pick up dinner and bring. it. home.

But Scott, clearly suffering from a severe case of amnesia, was insistent that we take the whole flipping family there to eat.

It was bananas. And people might say, “Well, you should control your kids,” and to that I say, “WE WILL GET ARRESTED FOR USING REQUIRED TACTICS.”

Also, most of the issue was that Lowell crapped himself 15 minutes into the meal and I didn’t have a backup diaper or wipes because why would I? I’ve only had 3 children.

Anyway, THE POINT IS we scarfed everything super fast, and I was reminded of this…
