Jesus Christ Superstar

The look from the first picture is Kendall's new attitude - rolling eyes and short temper. 

He was feeling 'not so swift' which is something I would say so we decided no Tae Kwon Do this morning. Kendall had scrambled eggs and watched Jumanji. 

Then we went to Payless. Kendall is now a size 12 (before he is 12) and we each found 2 pairs of shoes. We had lunch at 5 Guys. It was very good and everyone working communicated with each other and was having a great time. Someone yelled how many people came through the door. When it wasn't busy the tables were cleaned up and we could hear the employees laughing and having fun while working. Plus we loved the free peanuts!

The Five Guys Story

Five Guys has been a Washington, DC area favorite since 1986 when Jerry and Janie Murrell offered sage advice to the four young Murrell brothers: "Start a business or go to college."The business route won and the Murrell family opened a carry-out burger joint in Arlington, Virginia.

Under the guidance of Jerry and Janie, the Murrell family served only hand-formed burgers cooked to perfection on a grill along with fresh-cut fries cooked in pure peanut oil. The little burger joint quickly developed a cult-like following. Press paid attention. Customers voted the burger"#1" in the metro area.

During the 1980's and 1990's the Murrell family perfected their simple system. Five Guys was The Place to get a fresh, juicy burger with all the toppings you could stuff between fresh-baked buns. A fifth brother was born and, as their family grew, so did their business. Four more restaurants with sit-down seating were added to accommodate the growing clientele.

Early in 2003 Jerry and Janie, together with the five"guys" began offering franchise opportunities. In just under 18 months, Five Guys Enterprises sold options for over 300 units. The overwhelming success of franchising a local restaurant made national news with articles in trade publications such as Nation's Restaurant News, Restaurant Business Magazine, and the Franchise Times.

Now, over 20 years after Five Guys first opened, there are over 1,000 locations nationwide and over 1500 units in development. Five Guys continues to receive media attention and has grown a cult-like following around the world.

We saw Jesus Christ Superstar at the Delaware Children's Theater. Kendal at first wasn't pleased but then asked a lot of questions during the musical. We also had a lot of discussion after with Kendall a little frustrated asking a few questions that I didn't get the first time. We worked it out though!

And then some Smallville. And special tie dye cookies for GodMom Adrienne's birthday Monday.l but we are bringing them for Easter dinner tomorrow.  We hope she doesn't read the blog tonight!

Buenas noches!
