Ladies who Lunch

I knew there was something redeeming about the fact that Brighton is still one of the only districts in the country with half day Kindergarten: lunch plans.  I could care less about the loss of instructional time.  Almost every Friday (and some Wednesdays) of Adrienne's Kindergarten year, she, Coco and I would go out to lunch.  Nothing fancy, usually Wegman's, but we always enjoyed the ritual.  Ade would come skipping off the bus; we would meet her at the front door (unless I forgot about her and then she'd ring the door bell incessantly), turn right back around and head out the back door to get in the car.  My to do list for my days off is continually full of reproach anyway so why not just ignore it and go out to lunch?

I mentioned this was a ritual right?  Right.  Right down to the menu selections and table location every time (kiddie table, naturally)

.

Ade: a "4-tray" that included macaroni and cheese, a hard boiled egg, blueberries&strawberries and a single chicken tender.

Coco: just macaroni and cheese

Me: Veggie sushi pack

We usually do a little shopping after lunch and then head home for the day's next activity whatever it may be!
