Family dinner.  Does it happen at your house?  How often?  Every day? Every week?

At our house, we try to eat family dinner together as much as possible.  There are some days that get busy with different schedules where it doesn't happen but mostly we try to make it work.  It helps that I'm cooking for my blog a lot and trying new things out.  My kids and husband get to be my little guinea pigs.  I'll ask them a barrage of questions after we're done eating...did you like that? Should I make it again? Is it good enough to go on the blog?

Besides trying out new recipes, I like family dinner because it's a chance to hear what happened during everyone's day.  When my kids get home from school I'll ask "how was school today?" and they'll say in a monotone voice "fine" and that's about it.  But at family dinner (most of the time) I can get a lot more out of them.

I have a funny little 6 year old boy.  He's in first grade and he has quite the personality.  The highs are high and the lows are low.  He can be be very expressive and full of emotion.  I sometimes get super frustrated with him but at the exact same time I love him so much that I want to just squeeze him. Anyhow, he has this little buzzed head (courtesy of my husband) and a few weeks ago at dinner he tells us about this girl in his class named Kendra.
