Hailey, Colin & the Carrots

This is what happens when mom gets Colin's dinner all ready, then leaves for a moment to answer the door...

BTW- whose idea was it to make white bibs?! White. Really?

Just admit it...

You see a slight resemblance too...

Tee hee! I love my little Colin and his sweet hairdo!

46 pounds and GROWING, apparently...

At least he's GOT to be, being as lately he's eating us out of house and home! I'm talking about Thomas in case you haven't guessed. My 5 1/2 year old. It's been going on for a while now, but in the last couple of weeks Thomas' appetite has increased exponentially. It's CRAZY. Now, I know I'm from a family of all girls, skinny girls nonetheless, but trust me, we can eat. Really, I'm not joking! But whoa, I really had no idea.

Here's a typical food consumption day for Thomas:

First Breakfast, 7:30am: 2-3 bowls of cereal. Good cereal too like Raisin Bran or Shredded Mini Wheats.

Second Breakfast 9am: A piece of toast w/jam, or a banana, or a few pancakes- essentially whatever I get up and make myself, he wants some of.

By 10:30 am he's asking if it's lunch time yet. I stare at him in disbelief and ask, "HONESTLY?!" Then I give him a banana or a thing of yogurt.

Lunch, noon: I give him one of those plastic, sectioned plates- each section is full and I pile stuff on top. A PB&J sandwich, string cheese, several apple slices, strawberries, graham crackers, and another container of yogurt. I stare when he asks Hailey, "You gonna eat that?"

3pm- snack time again. I shake my head and tell him to go drink a very big cup of water.

6pm- dinner. He eats a normal sized portion. For a 28 year old man. LOL. Seriously, he eats about the same amount as Adrian eats. And of course, he wants a treat afterwards because he's still hungry Mom!!

For anyone who has seen my other blog, this is why I use coupons.
