Picnic

Cheyenne loves to have Berkeley and her dress up and then eat a picnic on the box flipped over with their pretend food. Berkeley does not like dressing up, but since she is the youngest, she doesn't have much of a say. On a side note, I really need to go grocery shopping, but I am trying to make the food we have last and put it off as much as possible... so we were trying to decide what to have for lunch today and this was our conversation:

Cheyenne: I want applesauce.

Me: We don't have any applesauce.

Cheyenne: I want yogurt.

Me: We are all out of yogurt.

Cheyenne: I want a chocolate Monkey! Yum! Chocolate Monkey!

Me: We are all out of bananas so we can't have a chocolate monkey.

Cheyenne: Soooo... we don't have any food? All the food is gone?

It was so funny and cute and sad at the same time! I told her I would put applesauce, yogurt and bananas on the grocery list for next time. Then I remembered we still had leftover squash soup and peas in the fridge so we feasted on that! It was delicious and nourishing and the girls gobbled it up:) I still have ingredients for two more dinners, but I think I better give in and go to the store tomorrow! Why am I avoiding going grocery shopping? Well, a friend told me the less times you go to the grocery store the better, because that means the less times you grab something you want but don't neccessarily need. I think it is so true, so I have been trying to go less:) Plus, every time we go I let the girls get a cookie and when they start eating a lot of sugar, they don't want the healthy stuff!
