So much for that

Croup, double ear infections, pink eye, allergies. (this was the kids) Bronchitis, sinus infection, pulled rib muscle, strep (this was me) We're finally feeling better though thank goodness!
Last time K was weighed she was at 20lbs 6oz (she had clothes on though).

We seem to be stuck in a rut: Mini muffins for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch with fruit...
The only dinners that please everyone are tacos, pizza and breakfast for dinner. So that means I usually end up making at least 2 dinners every night. I found dolphin shaped chicken nuggets and James LOVES them! He eats them face to fin (yes he's that kid who only eats around the edges of a chicken nugget because he doesn't like the "inside")

The kids both love pickles and olives. How do you make that high calorie?!

We bought a new blender so we can have shakes again! The first one we had was strawberries, blueberries, vanilla ice cream and chocolate fudge. It was pretty tasty though I think the fudge cancels out the healthiness of the berries. Oh well.

I made pancakes for dinner last night and gave James a whipped cream face with a strawberry nose and he asked for blueberries for the center of the eyes. He ate it all up! That just let me know that he does appreciate the fun meals and it does trick him into eating more and faster (the kid could take an hour and a half to eat half a sandwich!) So now that summer is on it's way I'm planning on re-visiting our fun meals and trying to boost the calories in them.
