You know sometimes its just better to go with the flow than try to be the one stalwart against the tide. Monday I made my favorite dinner. Pulled pork tacos with cilantro lime rice and homemade tortillas. At least 5 of the kids went to bed hungry because "EWWW that's gross, I hate that!" They were up bright and early the next morning demanding breakfast.
So last night on the heels of that fun the kids cooked hamburgers and french fries. Homemade french fries. Oh yum! I love that meal too. Well not to be stopped on the kids taking over Addie decided the little kids needed a restaurant experience. So she set them up with individual tables and served them piece by piece. Complete with a milkshake at the end!
It really was a fun dining experience though. We sang to pandora enjoyed hot fries and visited. Sometimes mom rules just need to be let down a bit.
Everybody was happy and full. My girls are so good at making special memories for their siblings.
Not to be outdone these girls love and I mean LOVE shrimp. They are totally capable and willing to prepare it themselves as they did this day. Melt butter in pan, add shrimp. Stir till pink. Add parsley and garlic. Eat it quick before anyone else wants some.
You win some you loose some. And I guess all in all mission accomplished self-sufficient happy kids.
