2008 Still Eating Out?
It is 2008, a time when there are very high prices, food shortages and global concerns over economies, but do you find yourself still eating out at restaurants and fast food joints or have you curtailed your eating habits?
We try to make it a point to go out to eat at least once a month with the whole family. Kind of a treat to be able to let someone wait on us for a change. We do this in a celebration of this child doing good in school or another child doing good on a project. We make it so each child is being rewarded for something they did at school or at home. It makes them feel good that they are able to go out and get a reward for a job well done. IF one of them does something really outstanding then they get to pick where we eat at.
About a month ago we went to the mall and then said that it would be the last time we would go out for many months, not only because of cost, but with the baby coming in a couple of weeks it is just too far out of our reach.
