"Pasghetti" Night

We had spaghetti and meatballs last night for dinner, and while we were eating, I looked over to Amara to "assess the mess." Well, she was using her fingers to dip her lettuce salad into the ranch and then shoving it into her mouth, getting ranch all over herself. I thought, y'know, one day I'm going to miss the entertainment of just watching my children eat. So, I grabbed a camera and captured a few moments of our typical dinnertime.

Puppy Waffles!

I should clarify that these waffles are not made from puppies, but rather they were made to resemble puppies. Whole grain waffles, spread with vanilla yogurt, a little Fat free Cool Whip, and a mixture of cold berries. Genius- and no leftovers ;)I love smiles at breakfast time! I'm not sure what Lily is looking at, but she seems happy.

Without the berries on the ears

With berries on the ears. The more the merrier!

{This tasty breakfast was actually last month (January), I just never got around to blogging it until now}

Family Night- Refreshments

We love family night! This particular family night we only had one slice of Fudge Turtle Pie leftover from Sunday dinner, so the girls got to split it. Steve and I opted to save our tastebuds for after the girls went to sleep and dish ourselves up some ice cream. Anyhow, the girls were licking their plates clean before I could snap a picture of them eating their pie!

Black Olives on Baby Fingers

Steve and I used to put olives on my fingers as kids. Now our kids do it. Amara has such cute hands and now her "thumb-kins" have "helmets."

No Amara Allowed Sign

Lily had had it with Amara coming into "her" bathroom and touching the toilet and bringing her toys in there. Her solution? A "NO AMARA ALLOWED" sign, which she fully intended on hanging on the bathroom door and in return expecting Amara to respect it. It didn't hang for long.

Notice the picture of Amara with a circle drawn around it with a slash through it. Lily even almost spelled Amara correctly. You can also find the word "No" written on her sign. I love it.

IHOP, breakfast before we left

We had been spending the weekend at Steve's parent's house and it was time to head back home, but not without a hearty breakfast! We decided last second that we would go to IHOP for all-you-can-eat pancakes and invite some family to join us. It was a tasty breakfast and a perfect farewell.
