Here are a few things said at dinner tonight...
Bella and Sydney- "This AGAIN!!!!" (we do not have left-overs but tonight I used the left-over pasta to go with the "fresh" main dish tonight)
Preston- "I don't like ketchup next to my chicken!" (crying, wailing!!!)
Bella- "You know how when you made this pasta last night and I liked it?"
1/2 second later...
"Mom, Mom, Moooommmm?????"
Me- "Yes Bella"
Bella- "You know how when you made this pasta last night?"
Me- "Yeeeeesssssss Bella."
Bella- "Weeeellll, it tasted good last night. But not tonight."
Me- "Thanks for letting me know."
Preston- "Ya, I not like this pasta either now."
Sydney- "Do we have to eat all our dinner?"
Me- (Fake smile) "Just till your tummy is full."
Five seconds later...
Preston- "My tummy is full!"
Me-"O.k. but don't ask for more food later."
Preston- "Well actually I can eat a few more bites. Can I have liquorish when I eat all my dinner?"
Me- "Silence"
20 minutes into dinner and still no one as had more than two bites of food...
Sydney-"My food is cold."
Me- "Want me to heat is up?"
Sydney- (Eye rolling) "No, I don't like HOT food."
1 minute later...
Preston-"Don't look at me Bella!"
Bella- (Just staring at Preston)
Preston- "STOP looking at me!"
Bella- "I'm not."
Preston- "I saw you looking at me."
Bella- "I'm not. I'm looking out the window behind you."
Preston-"Stop looking at me."
Bella- "I'm not."
Preston- "STOP LOOKING AT ME!!!"

Me- "Everyone PLEASE EAT!"
Sydney- "If this electricity goes out what happens."
Me- "Nothing." (To tired to get into it with her.)
Preston- "Sydney stop looking at me. Stop talking, I don't want anyone talking."
Bella- "When I eat this pasta with my applesauce the applesauce tastes weird."
Preston- "I ate a piece of broccoli. Can I have liquorice?"
Me- "No"
Preston- "Sydney!, Sydney!, Sydney!, Sydney!, Sydney!"
Sydney- "My food is cold still."
Bella- "My food is stinky"
Sydney- "Your Right!."
Sydney- "You know what I'm most afraid of?
Me- "No"
Sydney- "Bats! But only the babies because their so ugly. And that they suck your blood."
Bella- "Ya me too."
Me- (To tired to tell them not to be scared of baby blood sucking bats, sits and eats.)
Preston- "I wish our house was made of toys."
Bell- "No! Candy! A house made out of candy would be cool!"
Sydney- No, No, I wish our house didn't have a roof and then we could play outside in our room!"

It's so nice to know we aren't the only ones! At least you're all sitting down eating together. I feel pretty good if I can at least pull that off!
Wow! No one has ever (even Thanksgiving) sat at our dinner table for 45 minutes. You must have really comfy chairs or perhaps it is the stimulating conversation. probably both.
Katy-I'm back and I missed you! I love that you blogged your dinner conversations. That was hillarious! You could have substituted my three kids names in there! I especially loved your being too tired to get into it. That is me on sooo many occasions! Poor Kate always has such deep or not deep questions and I am just "too tired" to get into it! :) Loved it!!!!! You always make me laugh! xoxo
I LOVE THIS!!! So funny! Yeah, Katy, don't you know Pasta is only good for one night! Ha ha.
So funny! And way to keep your cool - you are such the Love and Logic expert!
I told Savannah that she's not allowed to say that she didn't like something before she ever tasted it. She's stuck to it and now says, "No thank you, I don't care for it" (eye roll). ;)
Ha lar e ous!!!!!!!! I love those kids!!
