YES - it was WONDERFUL!!!

After a CRAZY day (complete with 1 girl taking a much SHORTER nap than she should have and two boys with no naps at all), I REFUSED to let it change our plans! We headed out to Cheesecake Factory for our practically free cheesecake anyways! We got there at 6:30 pm - and yes, there was a line out the door just to put your name in!!! But our wait was only 25 minutes, and the kids played in the nearby fountains and were quite happy! (Well, except for Josiah at times who didn't understand why he couldn't KEEP the money he kept scooping out of the fountains).
Here are my VERY happy boys! Josiah and Jacob thought it was the COOLEST that they could pick ANY kind they wanted and have their VERY own! Josiah picked Brownie Sundae Cheesecake, because he wanted nuts and chocolate, and Jacob had Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake because he wanted JUST chocolate. David's was Lemon Raspberry - yum-o! (Mine was Caramel Pecan Turtle - VERY yummy! Oh, and Callie's was Oreo, but we got hers to go...)
Here's Callie saying "Aaaaahhhh" - although she didn't like it one bit! Spit it right out! Go figure!
And here's our receipt - you can't beat it!! $8.29 for 5 slices of cheesecake! (Okay, so I know that my cheesecake from scratch only costs about $6 to make the whole thing, but still! Certainly couldn't make the fancy flavors!!!) It was great!!! And now I can sit and relax on the couch. Poor David - he had to go run his 4 miles. Glad I did mine this morning!! And PS - this is ONE reason why I do go run at 4:30 AM - so I can enjoy a WHOLE slice of cheesecake without ANY guilt!! LOVE it!!!

Love that pic of Callie saying Aaaahhh!. We'll be skipping the cheesecake today seeing as how I just spent the afternoon making Jonathan's b-day cake for tomorrow -- I'm having icing overload already :)

Hey Katy-we actually saw you come in, I tried to get your attention, but you were focused on cheesecake Haha! :)
We ended up eating dinner there, so we ended up with a $40 bill, but we saved $7 on cheesecake :)
Today was my day off from running, I was very happy about that!!
Thanks for letting us know about the great deal on cheesecake!!

I would love to have your cheesecake recipe! I haven't found a recipe that I love just yet. I have one good one but it's got about a million steps and takes an extremely long time to make. Maybe that's just the way it is, but I'd love to know how you make yours.

Yum Yum - can't beat it. I can't imagine running 4 miles after eating a piece of cheesecake - blah!

i'm soooooo jealous!!!! I could have braved the restaurant last night but decided that a 3 year old and a 9 month old and one auntie didn't add up to much for public restaurants yet especially when there is cheesecake to savor! :) Glad you enjoyed it! :) And I love that you took a picture of the receipt! ha ha.
