We have hit an all time low...

I did something yesterday that I never thought I would do (ok, not in the first 14 months of life at least).

I fed my child ravioli from a can. You know, the kind with surprise meat inside? I got some that was on super sale and told Luke "This is only in case of emergency. If we have to feed her and only have 30 seconds to cook because we are in a HUGE hurry."

Well, yesterday we were not in a huge hurry and I had more than 30 seconds to cook, I just was feeling lazy and I was in the middle of a work project. As I wiped the umpa-loompa orange off of Eden's face and hands, I knew we had reached a new low. Luckily I have an amazing husband who laughed when I confessed what a bad mom I had been. He is the best!

My mom never fed us ravioli from a can, which is probably why we liked it so much when we went to my grandma's house! Luke and I have an ongoing discussion about feeding kids. I never got junk food-no canned ravioli or spaghetti-o's, no kool-aid, no chips, no candy. I can count the times we had Kraft mac and cheese. I didn't even know what ramen was when I got to college. So now, I have NO control when it comes to candy and pop. I love junk food. I even liked the ravioli from the can that I shared with Eden. So, is it good to NEVER have any junk food? The jury is out....

Anyways, Eden seemed to have survived the whole ordeal just fine, and ate cheese and bread without any issues last night, so I guess I haven't ruined her yet!

Eden Walking

Eden is now a BIG girl (not quite big enough to skip all of her naps, but big). She walks everywhere. She seems so busy, too, which I'm sure she is. She likes to carry clothes around the house with her and chat as she walks from room to room. I think she's pretending to clean. It's pretty amazing how old she seems now that she walks everywhere...maybe its a good thing that there's another baby on the way!

Weekend in Duluth

We went to Duluth this weekend for Luke's cousin's graduation party. Luke had a show on Friday night, which went well but was a little late for my pregnant self. On Saturday, we tried to help set up, but I'm not sure how much help a one year old running around was. We spent some time in Duluth during the afternoon having lunch and walking around by the lake.

Luke did an open mic during the graduation and then we came home afterwards. Eden had a lot of fun with all of the other kids that came to the party and she did not want to go to sleep and miss out on all of the fun! Its fun to watch her be so social...she would walk around smiling at people and showing them her toys...so cute!
