My husband is passed out on the couch and has been since about 9:15 tonight. He has been staying up until around 11:30pm every night and getting up at 5am for work. I love Thursdays when he doesn't have to work the next day (he is on a Flex schedule where he works more hours during the week and has every other Friday off), but lately he's had to go in for a meeting for about 4 hours, even when he isn't technically supposed to be working. Thankfully it's not until the afternoon and he gets to sleep in. Usually we watch a movie together on nights like tonight. Or, he'll go work on projects and I'll make bows. Tonight, he went horizontal on the couch and it was all over. I feel bad for him - I wish he wasn't so tired all the time.
We bought a bag of Brookside dark chocolate covered acai with blueberry at Costco. They're good. Too good. I'm considering buying another bag and stashing it in my freezer so I can have a surplus when Costco doesn't sell them anymore. I'm getting the feeling they're a seasonal item. I made the rookie mistake of leaving the open bag on the coffee table the other day. Amelia sniffed them out, reached in the bag despite my chorus of "No"s from the other room, and popped one in her mouth. It was like slow motion, me running from the kitchen to stop her and her shoving the choclatey goodness into her mouth. I told David about it later and he got the mistaken impression that I had given her one. So, he decided to let her have one, too.
A little dark chocolate won't hurt her. She's eaten so many blueberries this summer that I wouldn't be surprised if she starts turning blue. One thing she won't eat: meat and veggies. Our pediatrician assured us that she won't refuse them forever, but right now it seems like the only things she'll have anything to do with are sweet things like fruit. She actually really likes cheese and hot dogs, but if the cheese is shredded instead of cubed it throws her off and she won't eat it. Crazy girl.

So far the only thing Bruce will flat out refuse is jarred peas. I haven't tried making peas for him yet, but I think he'll like them better. I'm waiting for the day that he starts refusing more foods, though.
Addison has had the occasional choc. chip and she has survived as well. She also loves blueberries and she also doesn't do meat. She'll put it in her mouth...and then spits it out. ???
