Just another day in paradise....


Last night I made manicotti with a recipe I made from scratch.  As I stuffed the shells, Christian had me read my "Edible Plants" book to him.  He pointed out various plants.

 "Look mom, that's a pepper!"  "Tomatoes!  I throw momma's tomatoes!"  "What's that momma? Oh, its a cabbage, I don't like that."
 
When he got to the back of the book it listed the pests of edible plants, complete with pictures and what they do.

"That's a ladybug.  I kiss ladybug."  "What's that mommy?  Oh, a cabbage worm."  "What's that mommy?  Oh, an apple maggot."  "What's that mommy?  A harlequin beetle.  I like that.  I want to kiss it."  "Leafworm...I want to eat that."

Needless to say, by the time I was ready to put dinner in the oven, my appetite was just about non-existent.

Christian called Danny's cell phone to find out what time he would be home, and had a nice conversation with his daddy.  We had a dance party in the kitchen to combat the "witching hour".  Jonathan was eating cereal as Danny walked into a clean house to a happy family and warm dinner.


Christian drove his car on Jonny's head after dinner was done....

As I tried desperately to capture the sweetness of this evening.  The boys just wouldn't cooperate with my requests for a smile....

And everything was right in the world.
