my mom and i treated the kids to IHOP.
i really love to go out for breakfast and we never do it.
i used to go with my girlfriends in chicago all the time.
oh how i miss those breakfasts!
but this post is not about that.
it IS about funny face pancakes…with yogurt hair.
and hot chocolate with whipped cream.
talby pulled on my arm and whispered in my ear
“thank you for taking me here. this is my favorite breakfast ever”
she absolutely loved getting to play with her food.
scott was happy too.
he got to order off the grown up menu.
lauren had just said something snotty…
imagine that.
sean ordered a cheeseburger and fries.
when i told craig that he said “of course he did!”
sean is always proud to be himself.
and i ordered the plain old boring regular french toast.
and i ate every bite.
Lauren - Wonderful! Adorable!
I was JUST THERE last Sunday with all MY kids and we were doing almost the SAME THINGS you’re kids are doing here! How funny is that?!
I posted three photos of my kids eating at IHOP on MY blog – is there something in the water Meg? Or can we just chalk it up to “great minds think alike”?
Take care!
meg duerksen - kristin…i don’t want to oversell IHOP. i just like breakfast out not necessarily there. but it is very kid friendly.
eryn – thank you for your new blog addy…and loving on talby.
crsytal…i started on yours too. i am so excited for our swap. i will finally be part of a blog swap thing…it’s a first. 🙂
jen- how funny would it be if you actually went into IHOP wearing helmets!! and then explained to the manager why. maybe then you would get a free meal. that would be hilarious. be sure to take pictures if you do.
Jennifer P. - You always manage to catch your kids in perfect kid poses. Love that one of Lauren and the sideways glance!
we went to IHOP not too long ago and the waiter dropped a whole plate of pancakes on my 3 year old’s head. Not only was there very little apology, there was no complimentary ANYTHING. We haven’t been back since. but you’ve made it all look so tasty, we might strap on our helmets and try it again ;)!
Crystal - meg….I have not forgotten you! I have already started your swap goodies based on what I “know” about you through your blog…maybe if I tell you I will answer those questions tomorrow then I will actually do it… 🙂 We will see not won’t we?
Have a great night!!
Crystal
eryn - I love the pic of talby…she’s so darn beautiful! I LOVE french toast…there’s no shame in that! I order it almost every time I go out for breakfast (the like twice a year it happens).
ps, changed my blog url to snapshotsofmymommymoments.blogspot.com
Blanca - I love me some IHOP too. I always order French toast with a side of hash browns and bacon. Yummy.
Blanca
Laura T. - Great pictures —
My son LOVES IHOP; however, we don’t have one near us in NJ. Whenever we travel to Ohio, we make sure we stop so he can have his IHOP fix.
chris - I too love a nice breakfast out, but can you believe we are so deprived and don’t have IHOP, but Denny’s is good too, my oldest child always orders chicken and fries for breakfast when we go , without fail.
we haven’t been in a while, we must go this weekend, thanks for the reminder.
traci - i haven’t been to an ihop since i was very young. i loved them. i might have to find one – your post made me hungry. i would have been like sean – i would order lunch food for breakfast. thanks for the memories.
kristin - will you believe that i have never been to ihop?
and it always sounds so cozy and nice…i will have to go.
amy - I love Scott’s face in the one with he and Lauren!
