I'm Not Making the Kids Happy

I think I've created little restaurant junkies. Nearly every day when I pick them up from daycare, at least one of them will ask, "Where are we going tonight?" We had gotten away from the at least once a week trips to someplace to eat dinner because I just didn't have the money for all of that dining out. Then, I got my tax refund and we have eaten out a little more often. Now the kids just don't want to eat at home. Their favorite restaurant is CiCi's which is a pizza, pasta and salad buffet with all kinds of candy and trinket "machines" in the back (along with a few arcade games). However, they also like any fast food hamburger place, Applebee's and O'Charley's, which Charlie thinks is named after him. These past 2 mornings Charlie asked if we could go to "Pizza Hunt" tonight because the last time we went we didn't have Marcie with us. Yesterday morning I said no and he stormed off angry. Today I just said, "I'll think about it," and he seemed satisfied. I guess if I could win the lottery we could eat out every day, but that's not the healthiest option or the most likely one. What am I going to do with these little people?!!
