Our CONNECT FOUR Dinners have begun . . .

I got this crazy idea to have the kids pick a type of food (meat, cheese, burrito, fruit, etc.) and then Monday through Thursday night that food has to be apart of our dinner meal. Make things a little more fun and get me out of some of my food ruts! Anyway, I needed a name for it and I asked Babe if he had any ideas! I expected him to not to come up with anything good (he KNOWS this!") and he surprised me and came up with the name "Connect Four" because it is 4 meals with the connection of a type of food in each meal! EXCELLENT! Better than anything I had come up with!

Gabriel and Annalina both agreed they wanted blueberries. Tonight we had blueberry buckwheat pancakes. Gabriel is looking forward to tomorrow's  dinner where the blueberries will be in muffins!! I have to figure out for sure the next 2 nights but I think I have another idea!

I am curious what the next food choice will be!

Speaking of food choices. I now try hard to eat chocolate everyday! My wonderful supply from Flo is depleted and I went to Walmart and found a chocolate they had in England and it is GREAT (Ritter Sport). Obviously, I only eat small amounts each day. Well, at least most days.

We now have a BIG clear bowl on our table with 80 ounzes of Hershey Kisses but to us they are not Hershey Kisses but "Daddy kisses". The kids can have a kiss from daddy every day. They really enjoy that! I heard that idea somewhere and I really liked it. I am glad the kids do too.
