Gabe with Grandpa at Pizza Planet

 

 

We go out to luch with Jon usually once a week. Gabe's favorite place to go is a pizza buffet close by. We like taking the kids there too because we can feed them both for $3. Gabe recently discovered arcade games. Anytime we are anywhere that has games he asks for quarters. I don't usually carry change around with me so he has to ask for donations from other people. Grandpa and Aunts are always willing to give him a few coins. I loved this picture of him with his grandpa. It was too precious! I am so glad I had my camera with me!

A post to show Lydia eats meat!

 

 

 

 

Lydia has been a vegetarian for most of her life with the exception of milk and yogurt. We always try to experiment with her and get her to at least try a little bit of pork chops, chicken or fish, whatever we are eating at dinner. she will not eat cheese and up until recently wouldn't even touch mac and cheese. Awhile back costco had a coupon for their pre-packaged ribs. I always buy them when they send out coupons for them. We cooked them up for dinner one night and gave Lydia a small bite to taste. She loved them! She asked for more and by the time dinner was over she had had 3 ribs! We got a cute little video too but I am not sure how to post that.

A Few Old Projects

 

 

 

As I was packing I decided to take a few pictures of some old projects that I never posted about. The first one is our calendar/to do board. I had seen these as plain dry erase boards on a few other blogs and decided to make a calendar for the kitchen with a dry erase to do list and grocery list. i also use is for our meal planning.

The other project I made awhile back is a fishing set for the kids to play with. They really enjoy it. I need to make up some more fish for it. I am thinking of making some of every color to help Lydia learn her colors.
