Happy Cinco De Mayo!


Or not so happy day.
I made Taco Soup.
Macie informed us that "this is the worst soup ever." And then sat like this through most of dinner.
She wanted a BOWL of sour cream to eat.
I said no.
I bought the most amazing guacamole chips at Costco.
Maddie wouldn't eat them because they were green.
Bought 4 pounds of strawberries at WinCo.
Discovered that Lindsay's eczema is aggravated by strawberries.
Lindsay loves strawberries.
I said no more strawberries for Lindsay.
I think I had every child in tears today.
That means I'm doing my job, right?

I made a meal this week that my kids and husband begged me not to make again. Ever. Then we went to Wendys.

HOW THE HECK can someone pout through an entire dinner when there's a jolly red dude hanging on one's straw???

That's an instant smile GUARANTEE right there!

Today we had strawberries for snack and Lindsay told me she was allergic. I felt bad,and we got some apples. But then I felt worse when she was watching Bonnie eat her strawberry and her jaw was moving along with Bonnie's, almost pretending to be eating it. I realized that she did NOT want to be allergic to strawberries

That's a very familiar pose around here.
