Four different types of eaters.
Forget water torture and other so-called cruel forms of torture. My advice to any military wanting to drive someone nuts in a short period of time would be to make them personally in charge of feeding children.
It's bad here. And yes, my kids are older. It's still bad. So bad that when I am cooking and one wanders into the kitchen to ask me the age old question, "What's for dinner?", I panic. I slam a lid over whatever I'm cooking and tell them they will just have to wait to find out. That assures me a little less time listening to the complaints or seeing the eye rolls.One of mine will walk in, see what I am cooking, and then ask, "What am I having?" I don't have to explain to you that the implication is that he would never in a million years actually eat what he is seeing me cook.
My kids are all over the spectrum as far as eating goes. One will eat absolutely anything and the more unusual the food, the more desirable. On the other end, I have one that eats about 5 foods. And the other two fall somewhere in between.How does one family produce such different eaters? Obviously, they were raised being served the same foods in the same manner. Yet, they don't eat the same foods.
One won't eat pizza with sauce, one won't eat chili. One doesn't eat meat and three appear to live for meat. They all like fruit but not always the same fruits and vegetables are hit and miss even though we've grown our own vegetables all of their lives. So, that whole garden with your kids and they will eat it theory doesn't always hold up.
I didn't plan to be one of those moms that prepares different foods for different people. And I sure didn't start out like that. I tried the whole "put it out there and sooner or later they will eat it" approach. Sadly, they all inherited my stubbornness and yes, they would choose to starve rather than eat something they don't want.
Which leads me to my meal frustration. Feeding a family with various food likes - now there's a challenge I'd like to see them tackle on Iron Chef. Without assistants. On a budget. Let's see some real pressure for a change.

I think you have an idea for a new reality cooking show on the Foodnetwork!
Picky kid eaters.
My 15yr old will ONLY eat chicken nuggets. She (to my knowledge) has never had a piece of fruit grace her lips. LOL.
Funny post, I like the pictures. :-)
My daughter is the pickiest eater ever!! She is a on a spaghettio's kick right now.. and that is all she will eat!!!!
Thanks for stopping by my blog, Im a new follower! My son and husband are the pickiest eaters. They don't like to try anything new and want to eat the same things all the time.
I will eat pretty much anything. My husband, not so much. I sneak things in, like onions, and just don't tell him.
I remember those days! I never wanted to hear the "What's for dinner?" question either.
I think you need to pitch the idea for that show to Food Network. Mom's everywhere will love it!
Ha! Try feeding MY family. Now THERE'S a challenge! My husband will eat chili (but only a certain brand-no homemade!), bologna, chicken, spaghetti, lasagna, hot dogs, pizza (cheese only please!), and corn. My 2 older girls will only eat chicken nuggets, pizza, spaghetti, and ramen noodles. My youngest is like me, she'll eat anything you put in front of her.
I feel your pain. Totally could be a show of it's own!
the problem i have is that the foods they like one minute will be POISON the next.
"wait. i thought you liked butter pecan ice cream."
"no. i ate it too much and now i don't."
oy.
Ooh-I'd love to see an Iron Chef with picky eaters! That'd be so much more fascinating...and helpful for the future:)
I do that slam the lid on the pot thing!
I was so the "eat what I make or starve" type with the first two. Real hard a.... And then we adopted a child I couldn't even get to TRY solids until she was over a year. Yes. She broke me. Because when you are faced with giving them the trash they will eat or having them taken away for failure to thrive...well, its a no-brainer.
I agree with #1 - that'd make a great food network show! You have to pick your battles, though. Sometimes food just isn't worth it. I would default to tacos with multiple toppings - they can all add whatever it is they like for the week!

I finally found a great spinach turkey meatloaf recipe that my oldest son will eat because I use the word "meatloaf." Otherwise, it's chicken nuggets, hotdogs, and mac and cheese.
I cringe too when they ask...
Dinner at my house is always a challenge. I pretty much stick to "eat it or starve - your choice". Though as they get older, if they want to fix their own thing and clean up afterwards (ie: no additional work for me), I'm getting a little more lenient.
so my fantasy of dreaming this will get better is only... a fantasy? sigh. ;)
I've totally been and are there, how I understand you, and I don't plan to prepare different meals too.
Whoa. My mother (when she cooked) put it on the table and if you didn't eat it you didn't eat. PERIOD. NO snacks, no nothing.
The worst was going to visit the grandmothers. Both on the same day. Both had to prepare dinner and woe to the child who didn't eat all the food on their plate. The grandmother would launch into the litany of "you like your other grandmother better don't you"
No wonder I was a fat child.
I only have one child (male) and he's not fussy but does live for meat. My nephew, on the other hand, was very picky as a child - much like yours who will only eat 5 things. Now that he's 27, though, he's a very adventurous eater. Maybe yours will outgrow it too.
My sister said she was going to make her child eat what they ate, but caved. He's 23 and when he comes to the house for Thanksgiving, he only eats rolls. My husband was worried and said should we make something else and I said "ummm...no. He's 23".
My gfs use the approach you have to try a bit or two at every meal. If you still don't like it, have cereal. I like that approach.
I grew up with a mom who only cooked one thing and I got to watch my brother swallow whole stalks of broccoli and entire heads of cauliflower. Can you say gross....
However, I have no kids so I just listen and happy hubby eats anything (except mushrooms).
I hate the question, "What's for dinner?" It doesn't matter what I say. Somebody will gripe about it!
I'm sorry, but I did have to laugh. I know it isn't a laughing matter to you...I would be so frustrated! Happy New Year! Come join me for Crock Pot Wednesday whenever you can. Have a great day.
If my 17 year old comes in and asks what is for dinner, I tell him it is not his day to eat so don't worry about what I am making! LOL
I got lucky, mine will eat most anything. My 11 year old can not swallow mashed potatoes and the 8 year old does not like slamon. Other than that, we are good to go.
I refuse to be a short order cook. That's why I taught my oldest, who is also my pickiest, how to make a few dishes he can live with. If he doesn't like what I made (assuming he's at least tried it) he can go make himself something else: a bean burrito or quesadilla or whatever. But I make only ONE thing for dinner and that's it. I'm not going to make myself nuts.
exactly why i just dont make dinner anymore! lol
I used to have the same problem, and our kids are around the same ages (I think).
I finally put my foot down. And I make nothing that 4 of 5 wont eat. (we have 5, so I figure someones gonna bitch, right?)
I also got the book Eat this, Don't eat that. Good reading I tell ya!
I grew up with it or don't - it's your choice. My kids have grown up with it also. With six kids - sorry to say - I do not worry about what one does or does not like. They can be picky when they buy and cook and clean up their own food! I know I am a horrible mom! :)
The ultimate torture would be to have to coerce a 15 month-yr-old into eating an entire bowl of soup with a spoon without spilling any or splashing soup down the wall.
i KNOW that has got to be hard! I have a hard time with just the hubbs and baby. Good luck ;)
xoxox
Danielle
LOL! Luckily I only cook and prepare home made food for my baby for now... and he's not fussy... yet... :P
Thanks for visiting my blog from SITS! :D
That just makes me bubble inside with giggles.. My 3 kids are just the same. However the one off at college will now come home to most ANYTHING on the oven and eat it because it "home cooked" ha.. Thanks for the morning giggle..
Staci
I have this issue with my twins. They have the same DNA for crying out loud! You'd think they'd eat at least similar items but no! We have to be polar opposites.
I have the same problem, on a smaller scale. One eats anything, the healthier and weirder, the more excited to try it. The other only eats canned, overly processed extremely identifiable foods. Vegetables only if they are covered in ranch. Which is a house staple.
I always thought that should be the next reality/food network hit TV show - a true Dinner Impossible.
My kids are both picky eaters too. I don't know how it happened either. They would starve rather than eat what I make too.
humorous photo shots,
what a laughing and relaxing place to be.

welcome.
this is so funny. I can understand. My husband is a picky eater.
We have a picky eater, too. He would live off of chocolate milk if we let him. Peanut butter (no jelly) sandwhiches, toast, bisquits, an occasional helping of mashed potatoes, and that's about it. Notice the 'bread/starch' theme? I fear he's going to have a weight problem when he gets older. We did stumble upon some juice boxes that have a full serving of veggies and fruit in every box. That makes me feel a little better. He's just started to request chicken nuggets, but up until now, he's not been a fan of any type of meat. It is frustrating. Then, my older son could live off of junk food, and anything sweet. That's typical for a teen, I guess.
I'm blessed to only have one picky child...who is learning that being picky lessens her choices at dinnertime...and then she will darn sure eat the next meal. She's also seen that the not-so-picky kiddos get dessert, etc.
There is a silver cloud in the lining here. They grow up and leave home and have a family of their own. Then they get to battle the old questions...What's to eat?? LOL!
My son is grown and has five kids. You know what they say about pay backs??? LOL
Hugs
SueAnn
thanks a lot for dashing my hopes of them growing out of it. . . : )
This terrfies me. I thought it was hard feeding me and Ben!
My mother would just put the food on the table and tell us to eat. If we didn't that was just too bad and we'd have to starve because there was not way she was cooking 3 or 4 different meeals! lol
Not surprisingly, I can relate!!! My son won't eat pizza or pasta with sauce! Up until two years ago, he ate absolutely no meat. Now he'll eat steak, but not in burger form. Forget turkey or chicken (unless it is breaded and shaped like a finger). On the other side of the coin, he has overdosed on several foods (that's what happens when you eat the same thing every day for a year!) and will no longer touch peanut butter or eggs. My daughter, thankfully, eats almost everything. I was very picky until I got married, so there is hope for our kids!
Oh man. That sounds like torture! I would never have guessed that having their own garden, being given diverse foods, and having a mom that says Eat it or go hungry would have produced such eaters! This terrifies me, actually hahaha. What hope do any of us have now??
You should totally send this idea to Food Network! I bet those Iron Chefs couldn't do it!
I only have two opposite eaters - I'd go nuts if I had four!!!
I confess.. I was a picky eater.
I was reformed in college when I discovered that Mexican and Chili and Chinese food actually TASTE GOOD.
Crazy, I know.
that would be a great show on the food network! I try really hard to keep the food interesting, my battle is not finishing whatever is left on the plate!
My two sons ate most things..I don't remember any food issues when they were growing up, except the younger one was allergic to egg whites. I was a single mom when they were little and couldn't afford to be flexible about meals; I don't know why it wasn't a problem. They tended to pretty much eat whatever I served, and to this day, neither is picky.
wait. Can't you be all, um...you don't want it don't eat it??
Granted I'm not a mom so what the hell do I know but my kids will most like be either very skinny or totally hate me.
ps following you now!
Make them sign a contract for a meal plan and make it a tough one with simple rules. ha ha, that will teach them.
i feel your pain. mine do a neat dramatic gagging thing at the table if they hate the food. loads of fun!
thanks for stopping by my blog! I guess I was a tough love mom, but if they didn't eat it, they went to bed hungry...
In my house.... you better eat what I cook or you get p-butter (no jelly) and raw veggies!!
I will admit... I usually try and cook what they will eat. LOL
I've stopped catering to everyone's individual tastes (no one caters to mine so meh!). Cereal for breakfast and I make sure they have meat and veg at least 4 times a week. The rest of the time they can fend for themselves.
Oh goodness, glad for today I only have one. Sometimes you do what you gotta do :)
And I thought I was the only one out there with a family like this. Seems we're part of a bigger tribe than I imagined.
My pediatrician told me when my daughter was 1 that she could go four 14 days without eating ANYTHING. I wondered if he got that statistic from a parent just before he called CYS on them? You have to get them to eat somehow. I'm just hopeful for 2 out of 3 meals going well most days of the week. It's a lot of mac 'n cheese but she's fine!
I can relate to this. It's wild, and I have only one child! I have a cousin who has four kids with four different food allergies. About all you can eat safely at their house is Skittles.
My two year old is still eating baby food because she refuses to eat real food! Well she eats some real food, but nothing that would make up an actual meal!
I would totally tune in to see Moms on a budget, balancing 500 things at once and cooking for kids that think they have a menu show. Love this post Debbie! Maybe you can write another one as a wanna be Iron Chef. Happy New Year to you and to your family!
LOVE this post! I hate when my kids ask me what is for dinner. My kids both have their "will not eat" list.
I have the same problem at my house. I really don't like to cook and there is nothing more disheartening than actually cooking something and at least one person won't eat it or complains about it. Ugh! Did I mention... I hate to cook.
About five years ago we had a little "come to Jesus meetin'" wherein I explained the differences between me and a Burger King driveup window #1: No paper hats. And #2, no shouting your order into a little speaker and having it hand-delivered to you in a big white bag.
They know where the kitchen is, they know the recipe for Macaroni and Cheese, and life is too short to play 20 questions with the dinner menu. ("Is it in the legume family?")
Oh yeah. That's the 1st question my daughter asks me when I walk in the door. My husband calls me on his way home from work. Seriously??? They both know a cook I am not. My son has learned well. And if no one likes it? They know where the jar of peanut butter and loaf of bread are located.
I think I only have one meal that all 4 of us will eat without no one doctoring it or asking for special requests.
It's a tough job, I agree.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that 2010 treats you swell!!! ♥
Oh, I like tha ballsiness of that "What am I eating?" Like, "lets just drop the pretense and get right to the point here, Ma." My son lived on hummus and little else for a whole year. Now its spanakopita. Could be worse, I guess.
I am so with you! My daughter is a decent eater -- not great, mind you, but decent. My son, however, is horrible! He won't try anything new and not only does he have a limited diet -- he's brand specific! I try to entice him to healthier foods but he will literally go without eating or make himself sick fighting about it. And both my kids are naturally skinny so the pediatrician doesn't want me to let them go without a meal so of course, they always win. UGH!!!! My mom says it's revenge, evidently I was just as bad. :-)
I think I have been pretty good about not making multiple meals for my kids over the years. I am lucky in that, once they realized that I really really really wasn't going to cook other meals, they just figured out how to eat what we served.
We are lucky. :-)
That's not good. I thought picky eaters stopped at age 10. I have a range right now. Surprisingly my oldest is my best eater but the one thing he won't eat? Pizza. Go figure.
I think you may have a new hit show with this!
I have only two, but put me in the mix it makes three picky eaters.
Since I am picky about what I eat I shouldn't complain, but I am the one cooking so they need to eat pretty much what I make or they are on their own. I think the laziness of making their own food makes them eat most of the stuff I make.
I took a chance at adding you, not knowing whether or not you could access it. Stop by when you can. BTW, thanks for keeping your posts real. :-)
Yikes, my daughter has the same problem with her girls..and husband.
All I know as when I was a kid we ATE what was before us OR ELSE. And. That. Was. It.
But that was like 50 years ago ---it seems more and more kids now days are quite particular about what they will eat.
so, I have NO answers for you.
ah, make them cook their own??
Dinner time is quite painful in my house as well. Wanted to kill the husband tonight when he poured himself a bowl of cheerios at the dinner table and then wondered why the kids weren't eating what was in front of them.
Spreading the comment love from Theta Mom.
Try my family.
My husband eats of a kids menu (Think hamburgers, corn dogs, fries, anything with meat- no casseroles/pizza/fruit or veggies)
Boys? Picky
Me? No red meat and no greasy food.
It rocks, doesn't it!?!?
Eat it or cook your own meal. That was my 'mean mama' philosophy! ♥
Oh my gosh, you crack me up. You really tell it like it is -- and I love that! I'm with Boomer mom...if you don't like what I've served, make something else yourself (i.e. peanut butter and jelly, as this is all an 8-year-old and a 5-year-old can master). I know, I'm ruthless.
P.S. Loved your resolution post, too -- especially the comment about Tiger and the STD clinic. Too funny -- you are a hoot!
Man, I found this post so gratifying! I only have one kid, but he's so damned picky I don't know what to do. My husband and I are total omnivores, and I just don't know where this kid came from. And I HATE it when people look at you funny like you've done something wrong because your kid is picky. I have one friend who has one son, and this kid will eat ANYTHING, we're talking beets, quinoa, pate. Arrgh. I love hearing that you have 4 kids, all raised the same way, and they all have different eating peccadillos.
I do the panicky thing when my kids ask about dinner too. I am still trying the eat what is put in front of you thing. Probably four out of seven nights my youngest refuses to eat. Ack. Of course, that could be why he always eats such a good breakfast!
I thought I had problems. I only have 2 kids to cater to. As we say in the south, Bless Your Heart!
Every time I think I have my kids' eating habits figured out, they change. Just months ago my kids would not eat regular oranges. Now my 6 year old will eat all his orange slices right up! Last year they anti-ham, now 3 of them love it! Crazy.
Hopefully your picky eaters will grow out of it a bit as they get older.
Here is a good video on the subject: http://meat.org
Food challenges! They never end do they?
How was I not following yuor fab blog before? I fixed that and am folloing now. SO great to meet you!
Ha! I guess your kids will have to start learning how to cook!
Seriously, picky food habits drive me nuts in kids, but make me even crazier when they still exist in adults. :)
I'm so glad I'm in the early stages with the kids. They haven't found their voices yet on the I don't like that. Oh boy I know it's coming.
My little guy is only one and has become so picky! I know it's only going to get worse. At least when he is older maybe he will just shake his head and say no. Today he just opens his mouth and lets the food he has decided he no longer likes fall out onto the floor.
I have enough trouble just feeding me and my husband--I would have to be put away for good if I had a few other weird appetites to whet.
Thank you. I've been feeling inadequate because I know some moms who just put adult food on the table and expect their kids to eat it whereas I still cook specially for my picky eaters. It's nice to know the other method doesn't work either. ;-)
Have you been in MY kitchen! One dilikes tomatos, one hates onions, one will not eat gravy, and another hates Chinese food. One doesn't care for rice, another for curry. Yogurt is hated by most, but loved by me.... I LOVED this post :). You make me laugh!
Debbie, i just loved this post!
I will eat pretty much anything, but i fell in love with pasta and soups lately!No kids, so you can clearly get the picture!
hugs
Contact the food network! You have something there!
I come from a big family; we were each allowed to not like one dish....it seemed restrictive as a kid....until I had kids of my own.
This was FUNNY and TRUE!!
I found myself laughing so hard out loud at this that my children just asked me, "Mommy, what's so funny?"
I can SO relate. I have read every book, tried every method, and nothing worked. That's until I discovered bribery. I now promise a cookie or sometimes a fig bar (which they are still too young to realize isn't a real cookie) if they eat a certain number of bites of whatever I am cooking. I finally canned all the "Get Your Child to Eat" books and have turned into the the old fashioned--"Clean Your Plate" mom.
You hit the nail on the head with this one. We are all in this one together, and some how or another we will feed our children hopefully without having to cook 5 different meals at the same time! It's nice to see we all go through the same things!
great post. i can't imagine dealing with the pickiness of 4 eaters. i can only handle one picky eater. my son will only eat chicken, grilled cheese, carrots, fruits, bread, and an occasional hot dog. the doc says to just make him eat what we eat, you know, to teach him that he has to eat what we eat, well, he will just go on a hunger strike for a few days. i give in cuz he's starving and make a grilled cheese for him. i'm an enabler, i guess. take care.
IM still at the stage where I can tell them what to eat and then expect that it will get eaten.
But they continue to grow and develop their own personalities (ahhh!!!) and my power is waning.
What to do?
Blessings-
Amanda
WOW that is something I had not considered--I think it would be a great food network reality show-haha! You go super mom!!
Oh wow!! That is a huge pain in the butt!!
My older two decided to like opposite things, so no matter what I made I heard the complaints. I finally said that if I hear one thing, they don't eat, and I followed through. They only got bread and water, standing in the kitchen by themselves. Once each was all it took.
And I don't force my kids to eat. BUT they don't get dessert or anything else. Eat what I make or go hungry. And I make a lot of different things so it isn't boring, lol!
Hang in there!
YES! A cooking contest show with kids for judges! Let's see those chefs with "sensitive" palets figure those meals out.
we had 5 kids in our family and one of my brothers would only eat pizza and chinese food..my other brother only liked baked chicken and broccoli. My mom is an amazing italian cook. The pizza eater now eats everything and is my go-to guy for restaurant advice. The chicken eater...still only likes plain unadorned food. Go figure
You are so funny and so much better than me. I'm like don't eat then.
xoxoxo
Oh how I feel your pain even though I only have 1 child. He is SO picky. We were just looking at his kindergarten lunch schedule for ALL of January and he only likes what they're serving 2 days!!!!!!
And he rarely eats what I make. Not having any more children!!!!!
I love this Post!!! It's just me and my husband home now so I don't have this problem..don't throw anything at me.... but didn't really have it when my girls were living with me ( they are married now ). They were each picky in there own ways but I always tried to have something I knew they would eat (which I am sure you do too) but they weren't really that picky... What I love about this is...and I so wish I could show this to my son in law....My grandson is a picky eater and my son in laws said ...before he was born...that he wasn't going to have a child that was a picky eater like his wife (my daughter) He said his child was going to eat everything....well he shouldn't have said that:) my grandson is picky picky picky. I don't think it matters what you do ... kids are all so different in their food likes and dislikes...I can't imagine how it would be with 4
I can't even tell you how much better I feel after reading this post. I though my son's pickiness might have been my fault and now I think it isn't ... thanks to you!
I have the same thing going on here with two picky toddlers. No fun:(
This reminded of me childhood and the endless cajoling of relatives saying things like, "eat this mouthful of (disgusting) food for Uncle Joe ...
I wish my mom had forced me to eat more things as a kid because I'm a super picky eater now!
I haven't read through all the comments, but I will say I'm a bit from the old school. You eat what's on the table or you don't eat.
I mean within reason. I know two of my kids don't like Shrimp, so I only fix it if I know they will be gone that night. However, over the years my kids have complained on and off about one food item or another. Sloppy Joes, grilled cheese, etc. Guess what I make it anyway and they either eat it or they don't. But this Momma only fixes ONE meal for ONE family.
Please note that they can opt for a cold cut sandwich they make themselves or whatever leftover is in the fridge.
Guess what 9 out of 10 times they eat it. Call me old fashioned, but we all survived eating the same meal and personally I feel that it is this type of catering to our kids that leads them into the young adult who can't deal with difficult situations later on. Maybe I'm a bit extreme on my opinion on this, but I have had numerous friends who have done this for their kids and have gone nuts and broke trying to please everyone. Well in real life as a grown up no one tries to please you, you deal with life as is.
Sorry I went off a bit there. My point is that I don't feel you should have to cook different meals for them. A few weeks of them realizing you are not going to cave with the eat what I fix policy and they'll figure it out.
I know exactly what you're talking about! I finally threw my hands up when the 5 of them hit their teens and we all made our own foods, at least one would not like what I was cooking every single meal! Frustration!
I think kids are picky eaters just so they can drive us parentals bats**t crazy. Having created four of them --that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
I love this post and know exactly how you feel. I have two teenagers as well as two stepsons who've been over for the holidays and I hate having to always think what to feed them.
Make them cook their own damn food! My eldest is ultra picky and I can't wait until he's at the age when I can say - make your own. He's five and I've got him making his own tuna-mayonnaise sandwiches, which forms about 20% of his diet...not long now!
That is actually a good Iron Chef or better off Top Chef (my fave) idea. Maybe if they use your idea they'll give you a million bucks and you can get your own personal chef.
Picky eating...not me...OK me. But only how I eat things, I will eat a lot.
And also I tagged you :)
http://theconfusedhomemaker.com/2010/01/06/tagging-me-in-seven/
Have you tried Rachael Ray? Easy stuff for picky eaters. All mine are grown, and expect me to remember who likes what. Good luck with that:)
My sister has 4 fussy eaters-- Once, I she actually went to 4 different fast food places to please them all. Did I say ONCE :-)
xo
I somehow managed to raise a three year old who loves all kinds of fruit and actually requests vegetables if I forget to give them to her. But this one year old of mine, he's another story. Many times I've seen him blatantly pick out anything green from his meal and throw it to the floor. Your post is so true, I never wanted to be one of those short-order cook moms either, but I can see it on the horizon...
I eat almost anything so dose my husband . I am blessed with having him as he also never refuses to take me shopping on a weekend.
When my kids where young they ate only what they thought they should.
Love your blog and thanks for the visit. I am following you.
Well, I have on child who is gluten/dairy/soy free and one who is dairy free...so unless Doug and I want to be on these diets, I'm forced to make different meals every night.
It's not fun...but I'm used to it. :)
XOXO
Too funny! I only had two kids and I was lucky that they were pretty good eaters, but it was tough at times. One wouldn't eat potatoes and the other wouldn't eat rice. One liked pasta with sauce, one would only eat it without sauce (that one isn't too bad).
Now they aren't so bad, they got used to the "two bite" rule: they had to at least eat 2 bites and if they REALLY couldn't stand it, I would make them eat it.
Now my oldest is eating MREs in the Army headed for Afghanistan - I think he's really appreciating my cooking now!! :-)
BTW, thanks for stopping by my blog, and following me now. I really appreciate it.
Have a great weekend!
About that garden theory: You're totally right. It has not mattered what so ever to my kids... Makes me grumpy to say the least.
