Dead Peas and Where's the Dog

You would think we'd all lose weight as pretty much our entire meal time is nothing but laughing. We've been working trying to get Lucas and Eli to eat more vegetables...if it's not grandpa's sweetcorn it generally doesn't hit their plate. Tonight I put peas on the plates, so there wasn't an option.

I'd been watching Lucas line peas up on his fork and slowly eat them. He finally managed the chore (I put a tablespoon of peas on his plate-it took 15 minutes) and just as he was getting ready to take the last bite he looked up and said, "Is this dead?" Pretty sure they were dead in the can and even more so after the microwave.

Rachel later in the meal was telling about her day watching the boys (today was my first day back from summer break - poo!). She is also taking care of the neighbors' animals while they are away and had taken the boys with her.

Eli is very infatuated with animals of all kinds, hope he never runs into a skunk. Anyway he runs in picks up the neighbors' weight enhanced cat, shoves it at her and says, "where like this but dog?" All animals are reported physically ok, psychological reports are pending.
