It is no secret that my kids are not the best eaters in the world. Our girls eat occasionally, if they feel like it. Leah actually had to write something she didn't like to do for school and she said, "I don't like to eat a lot of food."
Last Sunday I made crock pot chicken and some yummy rice for dinner. Of course there was much lamenting and sorrow and many requests for cold cereal. I fought with them for a while then left the fight to Elias. He got angry and shared his tortured childhood with the kids. "When I was young sometimes we only had a tortilla with salt to eat. Many times I had to go to bed hungry, I would have given anything to eat chicken and rice." So, he decided as a punishment if the kids wouldn't eat their chicken and rice, they would have to eat a tortilla with salt.
Turns out that the kids were thrilled. So, E decided he would give it to them cold. Kids still happy. They all dug into their cold, dry, corn tortilla and gobbled it right up.

HA I hate it when things back fire like that. JJ fights with Paxten everyday about eating too, funny. I have to take food away from Cru cuz he wont stop eating and might throw up ha I don't know which is worse.
I am so happy you are back. I have missed your stories!
Jules - your kids are the cutest. I love to hear about them. Just think - how much easier shopping will be when you only have to buy tortilla and salt!
I am so glad you are back. I love it. I will have to get back to that blogging thing. I keep waiting for Richard's foot to get better or at least improve so I can blog about that but so far - no dice.
