What's for Dinner?

What's for Dinner, and some other happenings...




As the kids arrive home from school there seems to be one common question. They all want to know what's for dinner. Sometimes I know the answer to that and sometimes I don't. Sometimes it's what they want to hear and sometimes it's not! Obviously if it's something they dislike, they groan and try to talk me into making something else. But if it's something they like and they're hungry, they are right there getting the table set early and counting down the minutes until it's done.

Tonight's dinner was something I'd consider is an "in between" favorite of theirs. They don't love it, but they don't hate it and they eat it well for the most part. What is it?


It's this, Baked Potatoes, Meatloaf Muffins (a good way to get them to eat meatloaf if they won't eat it the other way), Steamed Broccoli, Grapes and Milk.

Tyler this morning next to his clothes that I had laid out for him. Today was Day 1 of Potty Training. Notice the 3 pairs of underwear there? We tried Potty Training him about 4 months ago but it was such a power struggle and after about 6 weeks we gave up and decided to wait it out a few months.

Here's hoping to a successful effort this time!!

And speaking of my Itty Bitty Lil' Boy Guy (yes, that's one of my many knicknames for him), he's had a rough day! This evening he fell down the stairs to the basement. He got a little roughed up but was fine after Mommy and Daddy helped him for a bit. And then he got his fingers in the door to the Garage. Poor guy. He cried worse over that one. I held him and kissed his fingers better. After about 3 minutes he was up and wanting to go back out and help Dad organize again. He's a tough little one!!

I guess if you have a sucker in your mouth it helps you heal faster and makes everything okay? Maybe the drool helps too? I sure do love this boy!! :)
