Dinner. dinner was so unusually successful tonight. Well. It was an hour late. and Spencer wasn't even home (scouts) so you would expect this to be the beginning of a story of food-tragedy and madhouse-ness. No. no. The kids were smiling, and speaking politely.
Campbell only spilled her drink once.
And the weirdest part was that they ATE.
Not one word (!) was uttered in complaint against the unfairness of having to eat the worst food on the planet.
Are you feeling freaked out yet? Because this is not just exceptionally rare.
It has NEVER happened before.
The home-made noodles were too wide and conspicuously wheat.
The sauce was a little burned.
But rather than hearing "mom, you make the grossest food of all moms!" I heard, "You are the best mom. in the world. no, the best PERSON!" and "I'll never forget you, mom!"
Yes, it was an incredible night. As in, I still can't believe it.
And now I just have to sit and wait for the Universe to do something unexpectedly bad to return to balance. It's the only thing that makes sense.
waiting..... waiting.... waiting....

That happened to me last night too! Even though I served the same leftovers for the third time this week, instead of saying "I hate this food!" like she did the first two times, Madeleine said "I love this food!" and ate it all! Wasn't there a full moon last night? Spooky...
Your girls were great at the dinner table when I ate with you. Maybe all your effort is just coming to the surface!
Awesome! Live it up while it lasts!
Loved this. Love you.
Nico actually barfed a little bit this morning when we tried to get him to eat the dinner he refused last night as breakfast...so the magic wasn't in L.R.
Maybe if I'd made homemade noodles it would have helped! I'm impressed! Good kids and homemade noodles!
