This is the way it typically goes. Mike, Lib & Lili come over for dinner. The kids play outside for a bit, then we head in for dinner. These days Blake chows and Lili refuses her food, but will eat a few bites of whatever Blake is eating. Then they play some more and by the time our food is cooked and ready to be enjoyed, the kids are on the brink of a meltdown because by now it's bedtime. Typically we take shifts eating since the kids require our attention, but last night we found something that worked...well it worked for a few minutes which gives us hope for the future!
Blake and Lili actually laid down on the comfy blankets and watched Yo Gabba Gabba so we could eat in peace! It was such a treat while it lasted. Lili laid very still with her 'nigh-nigh' and Blake....well he rolled and flailed all over the place. But overall it worked!

Hot food that can be eaten slowly and actually enjoyed? It's amazing what we took for granted before kids, isn't it? ;) Glad you had a peaceful dinner!
