Spaghetti Feed

Well, I did something brave this week. I let the little ones eat spaghetti. Brave, you ask? Yes, because spaghetti stains and I strongly dislike stains! I can handle mess, the sticky and the goupy, believe me, I've learned. But stains, they really get me! I'd have to say though, based on the pictures, my children loved it and it was well worth the clean-up effort! Even Megan cleared her plate at dinner that night. Go figure! As a kid, spaghetti was my favorite meal, especially when my grandma was making it :-) So I've decided, on bath night, we can have spaghetti for dinner :-)

Before, looking all nice and clean....


Andrew wasted no time digging in.


Neither did Hailey.


Wouldn't want to miss a single piece now, would we?


I'd say Andrew is pretty happy about his dinner :-)


Even Molly got into the fun.

Of course, she first carefully examined what was about to go into her mouth.


If you look closely, she even washed her hair with spaghetti sauce :-)

As soon as I removed their trays, Hailey and Andrew went for the dropped noodles.


I think they call this a "Full body experience."


After....they don't look so clean anymore!


The damage...not too bad I suppose. It was nothing a wet rag couldn't fix!


Overall, the spaghetti experience wasn't so bad and I would definitely do it again. They loved eating it and it was a fun to see them get so messy. Well, sort of! And of course, as is my style, there was a clean-up "system" that followed! The floor first, then one baby and feeding seat at a time! All the seats and trays went outside for a spray down afterwards!
