Sweet Stuff

Last night I went to a "Mom's Night Out" at The Melting Pot. Cool place! Its a fondue restaurant. There is a little cook top in the center of your table where they heat up the dipping stuff. We were just planning on having dessert but I was starving so we decided to try out the cheese also. We had an interesting Carribean cheese and dipped bread, veggies and apples in it. The chocolate was yummy! It was called "Flaming Turtle" and had chocolate, caramel and pecans. We decided that chopped nuts in the chocolate isn't so great because it makes dipping everything else hard. I really like rice crispy treats, marshmallows, bananas and strawberries dipped in the chocolate. They also had cheese cake and brownies.

So, The Melting Pot was a great restaurant but the best part was going out with friends and feeling like a girl instead of always a mom. Thanks to Dan for not giving me too hard of a time for wanting to go out and making sure he was home to be with the kids. I was even able to leave Mackenzie home because she was asleep before we left. Which brings me to the sweetest part of the night:

Sweet, sweet, Sleep!! Yep, Mackenzie finally learned how to roll back onto her back. She learned to roll from her back to her stomach about a month ago. She really likes playing on her stomach but doesn't like to sleep that way. So when she would wake up she would automatically roll to her stomach and then get frustrated because she couldn't roll back over. (Its been a rough month of sleepless nights). But last night she was in bed before 7:00 and I didn't have to go in to her until 4:00. She soothed herself to sleep at least once and I even found her asleep on her stomach. Whoohoo!! She may have even gone back to sleep at 4:00 on her own but I needed to feed her. She ate enough :0) and then went back to sleep and didn't wake up until 7:30. Sleep, sweet, sweet sleep!!
