Dinner win!

So, as most know, our daughter pretty much refuses to eat.... anything. 

Every normal food you'd expect a nearly 5 year old to love, she pretty much just doesn't. It has been quite frustrating so I made it my personal mission to try to create kid- friendly meals this week in an experiment to see what, in fact, this girl will actually eat. 
Last night I made hand breaded chicken tenders, home made bow tie noodle mac n cheese with broccoli and french fries.

No go. 

So, tonight I decided to make food fun. 

Tonight's dinner consisted of me taking Tostito Scoops chips and I put individual chips in rows on a pan and filled them with refried black beans, corn, and topped with cheese and crumbled up Doritos. I also made a taco bean dip on the side.

Here is the process and the end result:










It was a total hit!!!!

Willow ate 3! helpings! Which came out to be like 8 of those things. Which is a super big deal! I am so excited to have found at least one meal she will eat. If anyone has any suggestions of meals to try, comment them on the bottom and I may make it and post about it :) 

This is Willow's reaction while eating it:




Right before dinner, my husband was playing with the kids and he is absolutely fantastic at being the one to rough house with them and they absolutely LOVE it. However, tonight, he was playing with them on our bed and (I believe this is how it went... could be in a different order, lol) Willow's knee hit Zahlia's head, which fell into Noah's nose. Which resulted in this: 
(Side note: He was actually laughing during this, every one was. And everyone was fine. Noah wanted me to take pictures because he thought it was pretty cool that his nose was bleeding so much. Daddy felt pretty bad even though no one else seemed too upset ;) )




Ah the joys of having so many kids ;) I keep telling my husband we need a bigger bed for all the kids to fit. ^^ Proof. ;)

On a serious note, though, I absolutely LOVE that my husband is so awesome with our kids. He works so hard all day long and comes home and instantly consumes the rest of his night with family. They soak up every minute of it too. We are truly a blessed family. And I am a blessed wife to have such a great man raising our children with me. Even when silly accidents happen. Because this stuff just happens. And they'll have many fun memories. And I think that's so awesomely beautiful :)
