I cant keep up with their food intake..LOL
« on: January 03, 2012, 05:46:24 am »
Breakfast  LARGE bowls of cereal
Morning tea, fruit, biscuits & veggie sticks, large glass milk
Lunch 1 lamb pie & 1 ham sandwich each

Dinner made lasagna for 6, hoping to serve left overs for lunch, i still have afternoon tea to organise..
How do you all cope.

Thinking of Faffa & Dede, now I never want to swap houses!LOL

I think it woud have been good having a day to bake & prepare some meals before eb came, & also trying to do washing stc, mind you bless his heart he came with a suitcase of dirty clothes, not his fault but mmmmmmm...... :-[


They are hungry as playing tabe tennis & swimming  most f the day

Enjoy it Hally. I'm sure  you really love having someone to help eat it. ;)

First thing you need to do Hally, is get them in the kitchen doing the cooking! Make sure they clean up afterwards, though!
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Deedub is 8 but eats like an adult, eb is 12. I think all the pool time is making them very hungry, ,
afyernoon tea, rice crackers, veggie sticks, assorted salamis etc plus muffins, all gone.

Just about to sit down to lasagna, luckily i am not hungry as filled up on nibbles, so see how the lasagna goes :)

I can remember when my DS was in his teens I always plated up two dinners for him. :o He ate the first plate of food with us and would microwave the second later in the evening when he was "starving"  :-))

Yes JD you are right there.

Eb leaves here next tuesday at 5pm, I have to drive him to a camp, i am sure he will like it there, its down at point walter & they do lots of activities, from there I am not sure where he goes home or somewhere else, will find out today. His case worker is popping in for a cuppa and a chat.

Its all good having him here.
