Friday Night Fun!

Do you ever get sick of fighting about dinner with the kids?

I do.

Every night, someone doesn't want to eat or doesn't want to stay in their seat or throws some kind of a tantrum during our family dinner. I know that some of you simply cannot imagine this since our kids are perfect (haha).

So, Friday was our first day of our homeschool co-op (which was awesome by the way). The kids get to do arts and crafts and music and learn all kinds of awesome things that would otherwise make homeschooling a bit more stressful to me!

Well...in thinking ahead, I realized that dinner time may not be all that fun with REALLY tired kids. So, we ate junk! 

We made mozzarella sticks, potato skins, cheese and crackers, of course baby carrots and bananas AND milkshakes. 

We also let them eat on the couch while we all watched a silly movie together! Silly baby brother had fun too...he played and then he'd pop his head up for a snack!

It was delightful. While it was fun for the kids, it was a nice break from the dinner time battle that sometimes rages at our house.

While it wouldn't be healthy to eat like this often, it was well worth it for a special treat for the whole family!
