Sunday evenings are probably my least favorite part of the week. The anticipation of having to go back to work on Monday is not a fun experience. Luckily, we’ve been able to distract ourselves by cooking a big supper with friends just about every other week. So far, we’ve been into a very “whitey” theme. It was pot roast one night, then corned beef and cabbage, and now beef stew tonight. It’s sort of a challenge that we have going with Ryan and Michelle to see who can “out-white” the other. I’m looking forward to the possibility of meatloaf or chicken pot pie one of these Sundays. Yum yum!

Anyway, this evening, we went over to the Sokol-Juns a little earlier than usual so that Jes could make a big fat mess in their kitchen instead of ours. That was a total win on our part. Ryan also made his first attempt at a chocolate and peanut butter soufflé, which I enjoyed. Meanwhile, Jack got to eat his oatmeal with molasses and got some of our mashed potato at the dinner table. He’s such a funny little guy who LOVES to eat already at just 5 months of age. He’s probably the happiest and most enthusiastic when there’s food coming at him. It was a lot of fun to watch a normal kid learning to eat. I need to to videotape him one of these days to use as a training video for the parents I work with.
