It was a long night...kids to the doctor, off to a visitation for our friend's dad that died Sunday, then piano lessons and then Sammie decided she wants to try jogging so we did a 2 mile run/walk. At 1.5 miles we ran into a neighbor out in his yard that wanted to talk so there went another 15-20 minutes. So, we got home kind of late. Dinner consisted of deviled eggs made earlier tonight and frozen pizza for Sammie and I. Kyle wanted 4 "dipit eggs" and 4 pieces of toast. (Dipit eggs are eggs over easy that he breaks the yolks and dips toast in it). He has progressed to making egg sandwiches out of them though.Kind of an odd combination of things, but oh well...we had "girl time" and "boy time", the kids are happy and tomorrow can be a more normal nicer dinner.

ChefBeckyD said:And I'm with Kyle. Mmmmm, I love "dipit" eggs! Not sure where Kyle is putting that much food though!He must be having a growing streak!
It was 5 tacos last night...I'm getting worried about the teenage years at this rate!
He is definitely normal weight and definitely burns it off, but man is he packing in the food!
