It wasn’t a totally bananas day. It was busy, but thats the norm. The busiest part was really the afternoon. I had two grocery orders arrive, and besides putting everything away, I made up lunch packs of different veggies and some crackers. As I stood at the island, I had a little inner back and forth with myself.
The kids could totally just cut their own veggies.
Ok but they won’t.
Thats their issue, not yours! You don’t have to do all this.
But they need to eat veggies and this way they will. Happily! Without complaining!
Its a waste of bags.
Bite me. It works for now.
And I kept chopping. I hate packing lunches, and doing this extra step has made it virtually hands off for me. I like it.
So I made lunch packs for a good long while and then I got babies up and fed the littlest one. I say “littlest” loosely, as our five month old is only about 6 oz lighter than our fifteen month old 😅 Anyway. I bottled the one that bottles, and the others ran around while I washed my hair in the kitchen sink.
And then, folks, I made the supper of my childrens dreams 🤣
Yup. Smile fries, fish sticks, cucumber salad, and some super ripe pineapple. What more could a child (or their parent) want??
We ate, everyone happy and without complaint. The moment I had inhaled my food and I was on the way out for a couple of hours. And they were some nice hours out. I was really grateful for that short time away, and I came home to a peaceful scene, which was just the icing on the cake.
Thank you, Brady, for taking on the fam for a little bit so I could go out and do something special. I know its a lot 💜 but I also know you still want to do those things. So I see you, and I thank you. And I love you.
The rest of the week is going to be really busy with visits and events, and then back to camp to make more memories! 💪
