I wish......

I wish I could be a gourmet chef for kids!!!

This was Trenton's supper tonight!!

I have read before to get your kids to eat the certain foods, you should use cookie cutters to make the veggies and cheese into different shapes to make it interesting for them...not that we need to help Trenton with the eating department...he's a great eater...but I still like to make his lunch eye-catching...it's fun to pretend I'm a chef at a cool restaurant...

Obviously, he likes it!

I almost made a plate for me.

That's a pretty good supper for a 17-month old!!!

I used to have Ants on a Log...(celery with peanut butter and raisins)...when I was a kid and I love them! Still do!! (There was five to start with.....one didn't make the plate....it's quality control!!) There were no "ants" though (I'm out of raisins!).

This was our supper!! I got a cool BBQ wok today so I made BBQ veggies and seasoned pork chops! YUMMO!!

Our Finished Patio

Here's the end result!!! I got my lantern hung...(I got it from VV Boutique: aka Value Village last night) and the rest of my plants in the ground today. It was beautiful out at 8am when I was planting my flowers this morning!!! The morning sun at the back of the house is so warm!! Can't wait for the warmer temps tomorrow!!! Did I mention I love summer!!?!?!?!!?

And this is what we had for supper! I was trying my hand at kebabs and grilling veggies! They turned out pretty good...the meat was cooked a little too long...so they were a little tough! But it was still good...I know for next time!!!! I should have gone to cooking school....I LOVE BBQing! I could eat it EVERY DAY!!! My favorite show on the Food Network right now is Boy Meets Grill: Grilling with Bobby Flay...all he does is grill food! I have to take notes when I'm watching!!!

And we went for a walk to watch Jenn's son, Alex play ball....it didn't take Trenton long to find the slide!! (He's too brave...) And it's good exercise walking with him in the backpack!!! I love warm summer days and nights!!! I'm so glad it's summer! I want it to stay FOREVER!
