leftovers, part 4

Here's Chloe, smiling, but not smiling, as she puts it.

See, no teeth showing!

Hahahaha!

She was seated to my right at Olive Garden last night.

Her mouth has teeth that haven't quite come in, so she's a bit of a snaggle-toothed chica.

Here are the tic-tac-toe games she and I played after dinner.

Those were on the back of her kid's menu.

Four of the games were a draw, but I managed to win that last one!

I'd like to say it was due to my skill, but it was because her sister was distracting her.

Here are the tic-tac-toe games I played with her sister, by the way.

The first and third games were won by the 'cat', but I won the second and she won the fourth.

Why do we say the 'cat' won?

My first niece says because 'cat' is 'tac' backwards!

I don't know if she meant that as a joke or if she was using logic, but I like it!

And here's Miyah, sitting to my left, and, like her sister, she is giving me a smile that isn't a toothy grin!

Also like her sister, she has teeth that haven't finished finding their place.

I'm glad I don't have any memories of waiting for my mouth to set itself up!

I wonder if they will?

So, why were they in Savannah on a Friday night?

Miyah was racing this morning for the Girls On The Run 5K!

They even invited me to come watch, but I kindly declined.

For one thing, they had to be at the Armstrong campus of GaSoU at 7 AM!!!

On a Saturday!!!

That's why my first niece wisely decided to stay in town overnight, so she wouldn't have to get up stupid crazy early to get here.

But the other reason I decided to not attend was the temperature.

As I warned her yesterday afternoon when we were talking on the phone, the air would only be in the upper 50's at 7 AM.

She was glad to know to pack warmer clothes! 

So, I missed the race - which Chloe was allowed to run, too, even though she was a year too young - but I had the pleasure of their company for dinner!

We even had the same waiter (Cayden) that I had the last time at Olive Garden. 

The girls got a kick out me knowing his name!

I had the Chicken Margherita, to change things up, expecting the one with pasta, but I'm happy to have received the entree instead.

That gave me two chicken breasts, and lots of broccoli, too!

I'm about to dine on half of that for tonight's dinner while I enjoy an episode of "The Brokenwood Mysteries".

I would have eaten the leftovers for lunch, but I had a birthday party to attend!

More on that tomorrow!
