Messy Monday

So according to Annabel Karmel's handy book "First Meals" it's time for these boys to start experimenting...with food.  They're at the age where they can start self-feeding.  So to set the mood for this occasion I dimmed the lights, lit some candles and put on some classical music.  Ok, so I didn't really dim the lights or use candles, but there was actually classical music playing in the background...only because I turned on the radio to CKUA (our Alberta radio station) which just so happened to be playing the "Classic Examples" show.  Nevertheless it was a lovely ambiance for dinner time.  On the menu this evening was organic broccoli and brown rice mixed with a lovely cheese sauce.  They said to give their compliments to the chef.

Dinner was messy to say the least (and my kitchen even messier)...but lots of fun was had by all as the boys explored the art of feeding themselves.  Casey enjoyed the spoon method while Liam was more of a hand in mouth kinda guy.  By the time they were done eating we literally had to hose them down in the kitchen sink before heading upstairs for a bath.

Sometimes you just have to embrace the mess because life just wouldn't be as fun without it!

Wishing you a lovely start to your week as well...and also wishing a special Happy Birthday to my good friend Chloe who's in Australia!
