Booke, Jack, and Scotty were visiting Saturday afternoon. When 5:00 p.m. rolled around, their busy-busy day caught up with them and they became very hungry. Based on past dinners I have made for these three, Scott (Pop) and I (Mom) immediately pulled out the Pastaroni. That was gobbled up quickly so Scott made Macaroni and Cheese. The pasta was served with pears, pineapple chunks, and cold milk. No one was interested in the green beans and since it is a "Mom and Pop's Diner", no one was obliged to eat them. Little Scotty saw Brooke and Jack eating with a fork and decided he really really wanted to try a fork. I found a plastic fork that wouldn't cause damage and helped him load it up. He loved it and was able to get several forkfuls in his mouth. By the time Scotty was in full-fork mode, Jack abandoned his fork for the "hand to mouth" method. Brooke, as always, was a perfect lady and ate without one noodle getting away from her. These are precious days that go by so quickly. We love being close to these beautiful children.
No placemats or center pieces at the "diner". They would just get thrown on the floor.
Now how does this fork work?
We love to eat!
Second servings of each. Playing is hard work and makes you very hungry!
"Don't get too comfortable Grandma and Grandpa. We will be done with this before you can even sit down and put your feet up and then we will want you to play with us some more."
Amy and I experienced a real treat last Wednesday. We were privileged to accompany Brooke to her Gym Exhibition. We did not have very much memory left on either of our cameras, but we got two photos and two video clips of one event and the medal ceremony. We had sooooo much fun watching her. She is incredible! (Do I sound like a Grandma or what). We were sorry that little Jack was sick that day. It would have been fun to have him there too.
