Celebrating!

Last night we decided to celebrate. We brought out our wedding china, and the crystal goblets. We used table linens, and had flowers on the table.

We ate roasted beef and carrots with a little brown rice on the side. It was so “South Beach” friendly.

The kids got smaller glass goblets. They were thrilled!

And we had sparkling grape juice. The kids really liked that!

But what are we celebrating? We didn’t really know. We just thought it would be fun to bring out the fancy stuff, and get another chance to practice manners, but in a really fun way. After all, when you don’t have a dishwasher, it takes just as long to wash a china plate as it does a regular plate.

But then near the end of supper David decided he didn’t want to eat anymore, (he doesn’t like roast) and made himself throw up all over the table. (That boy has an amazing ability to throw up on command.) Then he said he was sick. But when we brought out the brownie sundaes for dessert, he claimed he was feeling better. So we offered him more food, and he claimed he was sick again. He had no fever, or even a pale look on his face. He was as energetic as always. I’m telling you, if he doesn’t want to eat something, he’ll just throw up. It’s amazing. He was quite crushed that he couldn’t have dessert though.

And then Knut almost finished painting the front porch. We decided that we were celebrating the porch being painted.

Now that’s worth celebrating, isn’t it?
