Creative Moments

Since we've been snowed it, we are letting our creative juices run wild and having lots of fun "art" days. Seems much of the time Samuel + Trinity are at their happiest when they're drawing, cutting, and gluing. Fortunately, they're pretty good at clean-up time, too ;)

 

  

 

Speaking of creative, with a slight decrease in Samuel's appetite every once in a while, we've gotten quite creative in food preparation to make even our standard menu items a little more, uhh, "inviting". For example, for dinner, I convinced them that whole wheat pasta with olive oil + sugar snap peas was a seriously indulgent treat by smothering it in shredded white cheeses (asadero, quesadilla + manchego). And, for pancakes, we transformed our usual multi-grain organic pancakes (with 4 extra eggs, vanilla protein powder + organic whole milk) into "pancake cookies" by adding M&M's + making them cookie-sized! HUGE hit! Who knew :)
