>Patrick and I originally had an early Valentine's date night planned. Unfortunately, the plans fell through, leaving me at 5:30PM with no plan for dinner.Thank goodness for McD's! In a pinch, they're always awesome. Elli & I had some delish chicken nuggets (she had apple dippers, such a good girl!). Patrick elected to eat his usual Quarter Pounder with cheese, plain. While it's not the most "romantic" dinner in the world, it worked for tonight.
I also wanted to share with you the make-up of Elli's typical lunch. We make her lunch every day, either in the morning before school, or the night before depending on how strapped I will be for time in the AM. Her average lunch consists of a sandwich (usually peanut butter & jelly or honey on wheat, but occasionally she'll want ham & cheese), a bag of chips (Fritos, Doritos, SunChips, Veggie Straws, BBQ & Sour Cream & Onion are her favs), fruit (sugar free applesauce, sugar free peaches, oranges, apples, bananas, prunes), some sort of "bar" (Special K bars are favored, but she likes Rice Krispie treats and frozen Go-Gurts as well), and a juice! You might think, wow, that's a lot for a little girl, but it's not ALL for lunch. Unfortunately, Elli starts school at 9AM & eats lunch at 11AM, then has to go until 3:15 before she gets a snack. That's a long time for a little person. So I make sure she has snacks for after school, so she's not starving by the time she gets home.
