Tonight for a special treat for Nicholas (ok and us) we had an "un-dinner". LOL! We basically had a bunch of appetizers for dinner while we watched a movie. Nicholas had so much fun!! He kept giggling and saying "This is going to be so much fun!" So....you might be asking what did we have....well....glad you asked. We had mozzarella sticks, chicken taquitos, buffalo wings, chicken nuggets (homemade) and nachos. These are things I definitely enjoy, but don't think eating them all together at one meal is really a great idea....but once in a while as a special treat on a snowy day.....Why not!!! Then I saw all that snacky food and decided some veggies were in order. So we had red and green peppers, carrots, cucumbers, and apples. Of course, we had honey mustard, hummus, and blue cheese.
One of the really fun parts for me was allowing Nicholas to completely make his own plate. I didn't tell him anything about what he should put on his plate or how much. He picked 2 nuggets, 2 mozzarella sticks, 2 red peppers, 2 green peppers, 2 cucumbers, 2 carrots, and 1 taquito. I chuckled at how he picked two of most of the things. He ate the veggies with some hummus and then realized he didn't have any apples. So he grabbed a bunch of apple slices. Then he wanted some nachos and more nuggets with honey mustard of course.
We watched the Fox and The Hound. I cried like I do everytime I watch it. Nicholas got really into the movie and was cheering for the various animals. So cute!!!! We talked a bit about friendship and then he happily went off to bed.
Such a fun night!!! Something I think we will definitely do again.....although maybe some different and healthier finger food.
