dinner time antics. . .

Tuesday night was haircut night. . . mistakenly I thought for all the boys. . .but, only scheduled for Sam (apparently 6 weeks in between haircuts for the boys is a little too long these days). . .

So, after a quick shave and a haircut. . . (don't groan. . .that one was just dying to happen. . .)

We headed to dinner. . . deciding between the usual McD's. . .Burger King. . .Pizza Hut. . .Chik-fil-A. . . we decided to be daring and do something different. . .

Yep, a run for the border. . . Reminiscing about our dating days when the only Taco Bell around was in Washington. . . and we would drive like we were going to a foreign country. . . feeling wild and dangerous with our Mexican dinner. . .

ah, those were the days. . .

Jack, coincidentally, loves tacos (bliss), so he loved the idea.

Tacos it was. Luke, his usual self, turned his nose up at anything that was not a french fry. . .and happily played with his cars at the table. Driving them around, until they went plummeting under the table or across the floor.

We hung out for a while after dinner. . . and then the magic happened.

Not the MTv magic. . . Zeli magic . . .

With three napkins and one Lightning MacQueen, one Tia (aka Tita), and one Sally. . . we had an impromptu Dada magic show. Rivaling the skills of Chris Angel and David Blaine, Dada made Lukey's beloved friends disappear under those brown napkins. . .

Lukey's eyes wide. . . and a bit dismayed. . . he looked all over the floor, under tables, trying to locate his cars. . .

Only to clap, mouth wide with excitement, when they returned under the same napkin.

Pure delight. We laughed for a long time.

And Jack had his try at the great disappearing act. . . and apparently Lukey was not quite as convinced. . .

Wonderful, laughing, Zeli fun. . .
