I scream... you scream... we all scream... for Krispy Kreme!

After eating hot dogs we did some shopping and decided to stop some place special for a snack... Krispy Kreme!

We pulled into the parking lot just as they were flipping the "HOT" sign on. We walked in and my mom explained how the donuts are made. It was fun! As we rounded the corner to place our order, they nice girl behind the corner gave us a FREE HOT donut. It was good (and messy!). The girl behind the counter also gave me a Krispy Kreme paper hat and some cool Halloween stickers.

Here I am with my donut (and Joe).

And here is Pi with the paper hat.

Big Sammy's

Yesterday, my dad, mom and Piper and I went to have hot dogs for lunch. My dad heard of a great hot dog place, but when we got there, it was closed... so we decided to go to Big Sammy's Hot dogs.

I had a hot dog plain with French fries. I loved the French fries. They were yummy.

Piper loved the French Fries too.

My dad had hot dogs too but my mom had a chicken gyros. She said it was really good. Piper liked that too!

The restaurant is set in a strip mall thingy so it's not huge. The tables are family style. Sometimes you have to sit very close to people you don't know. They have one of those games where you move the claw thingy and it falls and collects a stuffed animal... what a waste of money (that's what my mom says). They also have a bunch of gumball type machine things filled with cheap and dangerous toys (another thing my mom says). It makes it hard for a 2 year old to sit still in a place like that.

My mom... the slacker AND... The "Castle" Place

I know, I know. It has been for-ev-er since my mom updated my Foodie Baby site. She was really busy growing and having a baby. I have a new sister... but not that new, she is already 8 months old. She is fun except when she gets into my Cars cars or my Thomas trains.


Anyway, my mom is going to try harder to keep up with this. She missed the opportunity to blog about a lot of really great places... especially while we were at Disney.


Last night my mom and dad, Piper, Alex and a bunch of mom and dads friends went to The Village Squire in Crystal Lake. My parents hate this place so I was surprised we were going.


The outside of the restaurant is super cool!

It looks like a castle, doesn't it?

The inside is really cool too. There is a really cool fireplace in the center of the walk-in area and on the weekends, they have a guy there playing the guitar. Cool.

Usually when we go to the Squire, we get a bowl of popcorn. It's always fresh and warm and yummy... but we didn't get any at this visit. Other tables had popcorn but we didn't. Strike One.

I ordered pizza. It was yummy. I ate quite a bit. I also had some of my moms French Onion Soup. I liked that too (she did not like it). I liked everything I ate but no one else at the table had a good meal. That's sad because there were 8 of us.

This is me and my brother Alex waiting for our food.

My parents said that was the last time we are going to the Squire. It used to be my moms favorite restaurant but now she doesn't like it one tiny bit.
