Best Little Kitchen Helper

My Aunt Judy made this apron for me when I was in grade school and thank goodness we still have it, as it's now bring enjoyed by another generation...

Daddy's Culinary Delights

Daddy's cooking always seems to go down well with the kids and, with Mommy busy at planning meetings several nights this week, Daddy had a chance to prepare an old favorite: eggplant parmesan with spaghetti. I filled these two plate things that basically look like troughs (for those of you that don't know, Nico is obsessed with funky dining ware) to the brim.

Tess, my little billy goat girl, finished her entire plate in record time and also ate a decent percentage of Nanna's as well. Meanwhile, Finn's reckless abandon with pasta led me to channel my inner redneck and simply remove his shirt entirely rather than risk it. That proved to be a very good call on my part.

 Luckily bath time comes immediately after dinner.
