Matthew's Birthday - Part 1 - Cici's Pizza



I took Matthew and Ellie to Cici's Pizza today for lunch for Matthew's birthday. It is an all you can eat pizza buffet place, where our kids still eat for free, and I always have coupons...so our whole family can eat a meal for about $5 total. The kids LOVE it here and always point it out when they see one. Even Matthew knows what the sign looks like. And this is what an all you can eat pizza meal looks like with a two year old and a three year old...


Throughout the meal Matthew kept saying, "See ducks!" and pointing at the little room where they have arcade games and gumball machines. I didn't quite know what he was talking about. It's kind of like playing 20 questions with him sometimes. You can't always tell what he's saying. Our conversation went something like this....

Matthew - "See Ducks!"
Me - "See Ducks?"
Matthew - "No! See Ducks!"
Me - "Ducks??"
Matthew - "No!!! Ducks!!!"
Me - "I don't think there are ducks in there."
Matthew - "See Ducks! Duck! Junk!"
Me- "Ohhhh....junk. See junk?"
Matthew - "Yup"

Apparently, on another visit there, I told them both that we weren't going in the arcade room because everything in there was junk. Well, he remembered that it was junk, but that sure didn't deter him from wanting to go in there again. Be careful what you say....they remember.
