puts him home too late to wait for him (this is hopefully changing soon - fingers crossed). Me, never being much of a foodie, mostly sees eating dinner as a task like brushing your teeth or getting dressed. Of course I enjoy a good meal from time to time, but 9 times out of 10, it is because of the atmosphere or the event, not really the food. This must be why I love happy hour and appetizers the best! So, with Cheyenne, I try to create a nice atmosphere and variety with her dinner, but there are so many times that dinner just feels too routine and task-like - you know - dinner, brush teeth, comfies on, night-night, clean up...
We have this patch of grass across the street and I figured last minute, why not just take our plates over there. It doesn't have to be a planned picnic where I have to pack things in little tupperware, we can literally just take our plates over there. What a concept!
I told Cheyenne she could bring any of her stuffed animals that she wanted and she chose her trick-or-treat pumpkin.
It was wonderful - not task-like, but a fun summer event.
P.S. I am loving her hair these days. I pin it back and braid it every morning and by evening all the bows and clips have found precarious places around the house and the curls emerge and go wild.
