The reality star shared a photo on Instagram of the kiddos while dining at a Waffle House for breakfast.

The trio was sitting at a booth waiting for their breakfast to arrive when Thomas snapped a pic of the little ones.

His oldest child smiled at the camera sporting a gray sweatshirt and her hair pulled back into a ponytail.

His son, however, ignored the photo-op, glaring away from the camera while enjoying his drink in one hand and a toy in the other.

The tike wore a lime green cozy zipped up jacket for the outing.

Thomas, 59, captured the cute post: "Back at Waffle House. I finally had to ask the waitress to leave, otherwise Saint would've ordered everything on the menu!"

The breakfast date comes after Thomas's ex, Kathryn spent a day with the kids at a pumpkin patch.

The 30-year-old shared a series of photos on Instagram of the three of them posing for pictures and petting the animals at the farm.

In one photo, the trio posed for a snap in front of a Boone Hill Pumpkin Patch sign in front of the venue.

The mom-of-two was all smiles as she huddled close to the kids for a pic.

Kathryn wore jeans, a black crop top and sneakers, with her blonde hair resting on her shoulders and sunglasses atop her head.

Kensie sported distressed jeans, a white sweater and brown boots with her hair pushed back into two tiny buns.

Saint donned brown pants and a long-sleeve top before later changing into a navy blue t-shirt to play with the animals.

Kathryn captured the little ones leaning over the fence to pet the baby goats as well as a few shots of them smiling together for more photos.

She captioned the post: "Family traditions 🎃🧡"

CUSTODY BATTLE

The Southern Charm star was embroiled in a custody battle with her her ex-husband, Thomas.

Kathryn ended up losing her rights after Thomas accused her of drug abuse and neglect, which she has denied.

She recently broke down in tears because she admitted to "missing her babies."

The Bravolebrity concluded with a pic of her tear-strewn face: "But some days it be like that..."

Kathryn recently spoke candidly about what she’s been going through lately without her kids, sharing on Instagram: “There will be a lot more difficult times than good times when you are without your kids."

In August, Kathryn slammed the "family court system" as "exhausting" after Thomas won full custody.

Kathryn noted: "It is exhausting to constantly defend yourself from someone who is trying to change reality - it can even make you question what you know happened, or what is true.

"It can be exhausting to live two lives: One for your children and for the world (everything is fine), and the other where you are beaten down by the family court system. We see you and we stand with you. You are not alone."

The Sun previously revealed Kathryn temporarily lost custody of their two children, as she now has supervised visitation every other weekend. 

A source claimed to The Sun: “She has supervised visitation during the day Saturday and Sunday every other weekend."

DRUG USE

The insider continued Thomas planned to move to Aiken with the children this summer, as he proposed his plan to the judge when requesting full custody. 

The Sun confirmed the temporary order was filed by the court in February.

Kathryn filed a motion to seal the custody battle in December, which was approved, a clerk for the South Carolina courthouse previously confirmed to The Sun.

With the temporary order under seal, reasons for the custody loss are not available. 

A rep and lawyer for Kathryn declined to respond to The Sun's request for comment at the time.

The Sun broke Thomas’ request to change their custody agreement from joint to primary custody, as he cited Kathryn’s alleged drug abuse and neglect, which she denied.

DANGEROUS TRIP

In South Carolina court records obtained by The Sun, Thomas claimed a mutual friend told him about a recent trip he took to North Carolina with Kathryn, her boyfriend Chleb Ravenell, Kensie, Saint, and others. 

Thomas claimed the friend said: “He informed me that he witnessed a lot of cocaine use during this trip and that Kathryn had left cocaine within grasp of the children, which he thought was dangerous.”

Kathryn alleged in her court response: “I do not use cocaine so naturally I have not left any out for our children to access.”

She also agreed to take a drug test as long as Thomas “pays for it and takes one as well.”

Kathryn previously lost full custody of the children in 2016 and entered rehab after she tested positive for marijuana. 

In 2018, Kathryn filed for primary custody of the kids after Thomas was arrested and charged with assault and battery in the second degree. 

The couple’s former nanny, Dawn, accused him of sexual assault in 2018.

Thomas pleaded guilty to third-degree assault and battery charges. 

He received a 30-day suspended sentence and was ordered to pay a $500 fine.
