We spent $20 bucks on water! We might have complained if we could understand the waiter and his accent.

Good for you for standing up and saying something! <BR/>It reminds me of when we went to Spain and were trying to figure out the Spanish menu (I know very few Spanish words/phrases, haha), we would say the same thing - just water for now. Next thing we know a huge, glass bottle of water is put on our table and we end up paying 5 euro (so that's like, what? $7-$8??) for WATER! One time I was so mad, I left the 3 euro bottle of wine on the table and walked off with my 5 euro bottle of water, hahaha! I figured I paid for it, I was taking it with me! ;)<BR/>What a CUTE pic of Eli!!! He looks so happy!! :)<BR/>Love, ShelleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009904154750408964.post-53236845808109600562008-08-26T20:02:00.000-07:002008-08-26T20:02:00.000-07:00LOVE the Eli pic!

You can tell he has a dog for a half-sister! ;)<BR/>Besides his little size (which I am kinda jealous of 'cause I want Amy Beth to stay that little while still developing that fun personality, and she isn't cooperating like Eli is), you just can't tell that he was/is a preemie!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731886222975773197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009904154750408964.post-52430457736729104662008-08-26T08:14:00.000-07:002008-08-26T08:14:00.000-07:00Oh, she was definitely fluffing up the check.

Those kind of moments are hard to catch at that age - good job!!<BR/>Of course I tend to be more like my brother and wouldn't have said anything, but I would have been extraordinarily aggravated about it. <BR/>However, in my overly dorkiness, somehow I can make myself "feel better" about something like that and be able to let it go if I charge it to my spending money account (rather than "Out to Eat"). Makes no sense because then it IS coming from me, but for some reason I feel less bad about paying for my own mistakes (or, in your case, waitresses mistakes) than the family paying for it. I know, I'm weird. But I just don't have the confrontational abilities to get it taken off, so I must cope to the best of my abilities! :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10369662617248103139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009904154750408964.post-17325884713683667212008-08-24T17:27:00.000-07:002008-08-24T17:27:00.000-07:00I am glad that you had a nice night out and althou...I am glad that you had a nice night out and although I doubt I would have something about the water I admire you for saying something.Leanna Tennille McClellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06356284172558961218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009904154750408964.post-28553452276690654422008-08-24T16:27:00.000-07:002008-08-24T16:27:00.000-07:00I am so glad that you all had a great night out, a...I am so glad that you all had a great night out, and didn't let the water get in the way of that. <BR/><BR/>Eli is so adorable and little in that big boy seat of his.
