Occasionally I come up with a fun idea. This one time I came up with a fantastically awesome idea that ended up being better than I thought.
I made a menu for a few months which means we have a lot of leftovers since I am actually cooking. The boys HATE leftovers. So I decided we would pretend we are at a restaurant for leftovers night. I made menus and laminated them. Whatever food we have in the fridge I made paper pictures and tape it to the menu.
I put a tablecloth on the table with napkins and decorations and candles. Then we play music in the background and I take their order. The boys LOVED it. And I mean LOVE! They asked if we could have leftovers every night!!
The best part of this dinner was most of the food they didn't even like when I first made it, but they were so excited to order it! These pictures are from last month, but we just did it again tonight. Earlier in the day I had mentioned we might have leftovers. "Please mom can we do it?" they begged. "Only if you guys are good today". Anything for leftovers! Whodda thought?
