Smoke House

The other day I picked Moo-Moo up from school. He asked me on our way home, "Mommy, you know that place called Smoke House? Do people just sit in a house and smoke?" I had to laugh to myself. Smoke House is probably one of MY MOST favorite places to eat. It's not the type of place I would take my kids to because it is SO pricey! I explained to Moo-Moo that the Smoke House is a restaurant that has steak. He then said, "Well...tonight would be a perfect night to go, right mommy?" Yes...baby!

At 8pm, after I had finished feeding his siblings, I told Moo-Moo to change his clothes. We were going to Smoke House. He asked me why he had to change. I told him, "I don't think holy jeans and an AC/DC t-shirt is appropriate attire for a nice restaurant. Look at me. I'm dressed nice, you need to dress nice too!" He went upstairs and changed his clothes, even put a belt on. :)

We pulled up to the restaurant. They valet park there. Moo-Moo was VERY impressed. "WOW..did you see that? They opened our doors for us. That is SO COOL". I thought to myself..."Ya..how bout that! They open the door for us for ONLY $4.50!" As we walked in he loved the atmosphere. There was karaoke going on in the bar. It's dark inside, dim lighting, and dark rich colors. I have to admit, I love the atmosphere there too. My FAVORITE waitress was our waitress that night. :) She's been there for 42 years. I explained to her what Moo-Moo thought the Smoke House was...and why we were visiting. She made him feel EXTRA special. He got to taste the MOST AMAZING cheese bread. He ordered himself prime rib and was in heaven! While I was waiting for them to bring out my filet mignon...I looked over at my lil bobblehead and he was fast asleep. LOL. He couldn't wait to get here, and he was asleep? You've got to be kidding me!!!! LOL. My lil man had spent the night the day before at his dad's. His dad lives in Orange County. So he had to get my lil ones up at 5 in the morning to get back to my house to go to school. Now I had taken out my lil man to dinner late, and he fell asleep.

Oh well....it was very sweet to spend time...JUST with my lil one. I love his questions and teaching him different things. It's something I truly treasure. :)
