Indulge me for a moment as I pretend I'm some kind of foodie blogger. This is a picture of the awesome dinner I made tonight(see recipe below from my friend Jessica Quensar). I was so proud of myself and so excited to enjoy a nice meal together with my family. Well, at least 1.5 of us enjoyed it.
Greg's flight home from a day in Houston was delayed 3 hours so he was stuck eating airport food at Houston Hobby. My older two darlings, in typical darling form, of course were not so cooperative. The eldest choked down the required 5 bites before being excused to go to bed half full. Number 2 literally gagged and spit out his 3rd bite. So much for all my hopes and dreams that THIS was finally the meal they would enjoy.
However, darling number 3 and I enjoyed a lovely meal and time together at the table which included this picture of #3 finally learning to let the laws of gravity work for him and sippy cup.
This morning I felt like such a good little mama when the kids and I made these scratch bran muffins. This time they ate up! I guess they were hungry from last night.
Recipe for: 1 lb bowtie pasta, cooked
1 10 oz bag fresh spinach
1 cup craisins
3 cans mandarine oranges
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

1/2 tsp pepper

That's the routine at my house anytime I make a nice dinner (minus my husband being stuck in Houston.) Surely they'll outgrow it, right?
