Thursday Dinner

Wow, its Thursday already?

First, to make up for the lack of pics the last couple days - a couple pics showing pre-dinner preparations:

I had a whiny boy this afternoon while I was trying to make dinner, so I put him to work washing dishes. We ended up with more dirty dishes than we started with, but it kept him busy for about 20 minutes!

After a while his shirt got wet so I took it off. Then, every time his tummy touched the counter he would suck it in sooo far (I wish I had a pic, but you can imagine :)

Tonight I made a new recipe: Baked Lentils with Cheese. We all decided it was a keeper - very tasty! We also had garlic bread and fruit.

And here is my happy husband after a yummy meal!

Tuesday and Wednesday

So.... I don't have pics of dinner Tuesday or Wednesday. But I will attempt to recreate them in words :)

Tuesday evening we had Francesca and Josiah over for tacos (with sides of spanish rice and corn with green beans). For dessert they brought one of Si's famous apple pies with vanilla ice cream, yum! It was great to get together with our good friends (its been way too long).

Wednesday Jon and I went out to Fuddrucker's for our date. This is one of our favorite places to go on a date because of their delicious hamburgers and laid back atmosphere (= no waiters, so no one is "checking on you" and you can stay as long as you want).

Tonight I am trying a new recipe, so I will try hard to remember to take pics! :)

Monday Dinner

So, I'm taking Billie's challenge to post what our family eats for dinner this week, so here it goes!

Last night we had minestrone soup with biscuits and fruit...




...and a apple cake to celebrate Jon's mom's birthday which was last week (she made it herself and it was very good)

Building...

A couple months ago, my parents gave us a set of wooden blocks that I played with as a child. At first JL was not very interested in them, except to knock down any tower Jon or I would try to build. But about a week ago, JL decided he would start building, and these are a few of his first creations...

All by himself!
