Baby, it's cold outside!



Carlye made dinner again tonight, and she was so proud! It was about 11 degrees outside last night, so soup and warm home made bread sounded yummy. Carlye made Sweet Potato and Ham Chowder (recipe listed below). We all sat down to eat, and Noah was willing to eat soup that his sister made - even if he won't eat it when Mommy makes it! It was Nathanael's special day, and we ran into the same problem that we had the night before, only reversed. This time Noah couldn't think of anything nice to say about Nathanael. After some thought he finally admitted that brother will let him get in bed with him at night when he's scared. We talked about the cold and school, and the proverbial glass of milk was spilled all over the table and chairs. Noah was corrected for constantly kicking Daddy while we ate, and a fight erupted over who ate the most bread and how that wasn't fair.

So, it wasn't the most peaceful meal. But we were together, as a family, and that's what counts.
