Tonight’s Dinner

Tonight we had meatloaf with rice and broccoli. I served everyone on paper plates because real dishes tend to pile up at our house. It looks really gross in the pictures, but tasted really yummy. Zoe ate a few bites and thenĀ  fell asleep with her head on the table. When she stirred, I put my hand conveniently in place before her head came back down again, or worse, she woke up. She spent the day being crabby and not taking more than 15 minute naps, but I knew she was tired from staying up late watching Daddy play Mappy on the new TV last night. I was going to do everything in my power to help her stay asleep. I got Sarah to get the camera and took a few shots of everyone at the table, including myself (very myspace, I know). The boys hammed it up for the camera and Sarah ducked behind her hands and a mass of hair, but I got her on the second shot.

Now we’re going to head out to play volleyball at open gym night at QLS. Sarah wants to take it next year, so I’m going to give her my knowledge for free. She will fight me the whole way with wardrobe and hair issues, but I’ll try to focus on the big picture, just like I’m telling her to not sweat the details. While we’re out, Daddy will have the house to himself to do his Ffundercats podcast in peace and quiet.
