Daddy, will you take us to Tartine?

By a stroke of good luck this morning we were out of eggs which meant we HAD to go out to eat for breakfast this morning and we HAD to go to Tartine.* So lucky for Mommy & Quinnie!

I think one of the reasons Quinn loves Tartine is because it is the only place she gets juice boxes. A special place calls for special treats right? She was so excited to order her pancakes and had a slew of adorable/funny quotes this morning.

First, as we were eating our chocolate croissant (yes, you heard that right), she said, "Oh this is DELICIOUS!" and "You were right, there IS chocolate in there!" Then if we asked her for bites of her pancakes she said, "Yes, but not too much." She clearly has my gene of a reluctancy to share food. And as we were eating she kept saying, "we are having a great meal!"

As we were nearing the end of our breakfast our server came by to take our plates. Quinn was still finishing her fruit (and syrup), so she said very firmly, "don't take my plate." (It was cute, but we still made her apologize to our server when she came back.) After all that, we had three clean plates from the Syverson crew (four if you count the croissant plate).

What a great way to start the day!






*Tartine is a little French cafe down the street from us. Its owners are great people, big Winefest supporters and know how to dish up some awesome food. Plus it's totally kid-friendly and a non-chain out here in the land of suburbia which makes it a go-to spot for us!
