Girled Sandwiches

Today for lunch I asked Eli how he felt about grilled sandwiches, and he started a big ol' whine. I was rather confused because he loves grilled sandwiches. After my fog lifted I gathered that he didn't want to eat them because he thought they were called.................GIRLED SANDWICHES. He didn't want to eat a "girly" food. [Insert picture of me rolling on the floor laughing.] When my laughter died down, I assured him they were called GRILLED sandwiches and were just fine for a boy to eat. Then....behind me....a piercing 2yo little girl voice announced indignantly, "They are not GRILLED sandwiches. They are GIRLED sandwiches." She wouldn't eat her lunch unless I agreed with her. Sheesh.

I think I can, I think I can, I think I can

I can't. Not yet. Tomorrow is another day.

Odds & Ends

Does this almost make you want to live here? What if you knew this was after our MARCH 23rd snowstorm? April Fools! You might think this is a hamburger patty with ketchup, peas & carrots, and french fries, but it isn't. It's really a chocolate rice krispie treat with strawberry jelly, cut up tootsie rolls, and baked cinnamon sugar apple sticks. Were you fooled? The kids were!

Uh......how did that cute baby pic get in here?

Here he is again. This time he's showing off his new sitting skills.

Making your own birthday cake is fun at 9yo. It's a little high in sugar content.
