How to pull off a successful dinner out with small children in tow

We took the kids out with us to a nicer restaurant tonight, and they were perfect little angels. Forget hiring a babysitter, you TOO can enjoy an evening out at a nice restaurant with your children. "How do I do that, Jessi?", you're probably asking. Well, let me tell you, my fine friends.

What to bring:

• Graham crackers
• Goldfish crackers
• A couple of large Tootsie Roll Pops

And most importantly, order dessert.

You may get a few stares, glares, or the occasional *mumblegrumbletoomuchsugarmumblenotorganicgrumblecrunchymunchygreen*..... Don't you worry, for your children will be the happiest, most pleasant children in all the land.

And maybe the stickiest.
