I am one of those moms that stares at relaxed families in restaurants in complete awe and envy. Eating out is not a relaxed situation with my crew. From the moment we sit down it is like a NASA countdown until things get out of hand. 3 minutes to enjoy the new location, 1 minute until I need to clear all the "weapons" off the table, 2 minutes I start to look around nervously for the waitress and now T-minus 4 minutes until Henry's melt down. Ok so I am exagerating but to me that is what it feels like. We rarely take Henry out unless it is warm weather and we can sit outside away from other, with lots to look at, and a clear evacuation route.
The other day I came across Get Set Placemats from HelloHanna.com
I think if I whip these placemats out right when I see things starting to go down hit it just might do the trick. My dream is that these placemats can safely get my crew all the way to dessert. These little placemats will hopefully keep my little guys busy just long enough for someone else to cook me a meal and for me to get out a few sentences about my day to my husband. Here is to dreaming, good planning and the UPS getting these to my door as soon as possible.
