did you know...
. . . that there is a worm in the dirt in the germ on the flea on the hair on the wart on the frog on the bump on the log on the hole in the bottom of the sea?
Didn't think so.

dinnertime/breakfast time woes
Suppertime is such a performance sometimes. Why is it so hard to get kids to eat their supper? Last winter I started cooking all these fun meals out of these healthy living cookbooks. There was pasta, cheese, cooked spinach (I love spinach in foods), stir fries, fun burgers, etc. The kids would see a hint of green and spend the next twenty minutes moaning and choking it down. That's the older two. The younger two wouldn't even pretend to try. Eventually I kind of gave up and went back to the regular five dinners that I remake over and over and over and just made sure to serve them with salads and veggies. Jordan eats. Tennyson whines about not liking noodles, potatoes or vegetables but usually we can bully him into eating his dinner. Who doesn't like any side that goes with beef or chicken? Seriously? Not liking pasta? Or potatoes? Or rice unless it's floating in sweet and sour sauce? Good grief. I'm so glad that their pickiness is so individual to each child. Tha

"That's a LONG song!"
She has asked me to sing the "hole" song a few times since then. It's a toss-up between this one and "there's a hole in my bucket." She tried to run away near the end of that one, but I made her stay and listen and at the end when Liza tells Henry to fetch water in the bucket I said "But...." and looked at Jordan expectantly and she came up with "There's a hole in the bucket!!" all on her own. I was never so proud. lol.
