And kudos to yo...That definitely qualifies as art! And kudos to you for taking care of yourself (in many aspects) that way!<br /><br />We've been eating family dinners...all enjoying the same food...since shortly after the girls turned two. It's truly wonderful...but the dynamic is definitely different. I cook a lot of things ahead, so I only have to warm them up at dinnertime / make salads / cut fresh fruit. Presentation is not a high priority. And when I do make something for immediate consumption, we still have to wait for it to cool off enough for the girls to eat before we all sit down.<br /><br />The trade-off is worth it, of course, but I miss being a little more "intentional" for just Hubby and me.<br /><br />Still, we occasionally wait to eat until the girls are in bed. We did that a lot during football season last year, and it was really special. I'd plan a big feast of appetizers, usually, and we'd set up in the den to watch whatever game we'd DVR'd. It wasn't always fine cuisine, but we made it fun...a Mexican theme, a tailgating theme, etc...a great date night at home. :)MandyE (Twin Trials and Triumphs)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02510155408149227364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2690935211287966710.post-57083114456868415842011-09-01T14:38:25.037-05:002011-09-01T14:38:25.037-05:00Wow!
