Mommys cooking





Last night, to help Emily along with her little 'problem', I decided to make a very fiber rich chicken vegetable soup for dinner.  I raided the cabinets and freezer reading labels.  Ok, this is how I normally make soup, with the same ingredients, but this time I looked on the labels for fiber.  I made sure Emily's bowl had extra kidney beans, lima beans, and barley.  Anthony is always complaining that he doesn't like my cooking but it must not have been to bad because Emily licked her fingers and Anthony licked his bowl.... Well, that's not entirely true.  Anthony asked to be excused and I told him he had to drink the juice.  Emily really did love it.  She ate all of hers, some of mine and tried to steal Anthony's when he wasn't looking..... Anthony helped her in her seat (he had never done that before) and I'm not sure why Emily kept covering her ears. I think she was trying to be silly.  She loves to make her big brother laugh.  My dinner prayer last night.... Dear God, Thank you for my children. I'm sorry they don't have good table manners, especially the big one.  Amen!
